| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After driving my leased 2003 pilot for 3 years, i knew how it handled on turns and how it stopped in emergencies. barely 100 miles into my 2006 lease, i had to make an emergency stop on a rainy road due to an accident in front of me, and rear-ended a car when my abs system failed to stop in time, despite the fact that my 2003 pilot would have stopped at least 6 feet before the next vehicle. knowing my 2003's stopping distance when abs kicks in, i was flabbergasted that the new car didn't come close to stopping in time. i noticed one time since that the abs system just doesn't compare to the 2003, and is extremely dangerous as a result. another dangerous thing it has done twice is fishtail if i accelerate going into a turn or curve. the dealers service dep't used all kinds of computers to test the brakes, and took it out for a test drive, and said it functioned fine, and maybe i'm just not used to a 2wd. i told them i didn't want to drive this new car, it's not safe, and would rather hold on to my 2003 pilot. i know they think i'm crazy, but i'd rather be considered crazy than have my epitaph read, "i told you there was a problem." *jb |
