Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On march 18, 2005, i was driving my 2004 honda accord ex v6 on i 680 when my tcs and abs lights illuminated. i got scared and released the accelerator but since the exit i needed was approaching, i slightly depressed the brake pedal. immediately the steering wheel jerked out of control and i slammed into the right guardrail extremely hard, causing all driver's side airbags to deploy and i continued spinning out of control and the car felt like it was not stopping as it crossed two lanes and continued driving onto the median, eventually stopping as it hit and rode up on the guardrail on the median. the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and there was absolutely no braking present in the car. the car was deemed totalled by insurance. honda was called but todd (svc rep) said that "we dont like to hear that about our cars."
