Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The third incident took place on friday, february 24, 2006. my vehicle had been driven approximately 3175 miles. the details of the incident were as follows: i parked my vehicle in the garage at approximately 4:30 pm on thursday, february 23, 2006. i started my vehicle at approximately 5:40 am on friday, february 24, 2006, and allowed the engine to idle for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. i increased the rpm to 1500 two times for one second each. i reversed and braked. my vehicle stopped. i drove forward up an incline and braked. the brake pedal became very hard. i was unable to push the brake pedal. my vehicle rolled into the street. a few seconds later, the brake pedal lost pressure and suddenly dropped. my vehicle stopped shortly thereafter. fortunately, no pedestrians or cars were present in the street. i called american honda motor co., inc. i was directed to contact the service department of the dealership to schedule a service appointment with the district parts & service manager (dpsm). i finally scheduled an appointment for today and the dpsm never showed up. apparently, she had called in sick. it is very difficult to schedule an appointment with the dpsm because she does not have a set schedule. i have called american honda motor co., inc. three times and i have written one letter. since the dealership is unable to duplicate the problem, no parts have been repaired or replaced. *jb
