| A veihicle stopped suddenly ahead of me on the bay bridge near sf, and even though i hit the brakes hard, the car did not stop as fast as i felt it should have. i did not think any more about it after the car was repaired, then last wednesday, 10/05/11 i needed to make an emergency stop on the freeway. after hitting the brake with both feet, i watched helplessly as the car slowed but did not stop until i hit another vehicle. these are the only two 'rear end' collisions i have had in over 30 years of driving. i know that either of my previous two cars could have effectively stopped in the distance given. i am not sure the car will be repaired again, but if it is repaired i will never drive it again. | |||

| Traffic was slowing down because of work on the side of the road. i tapped my brakes twice without any result. the next time i put my foot to the floor and the car would not stop. i ran into a truck. since my car was low, the sensor did not go off with the air bags. i own a honda sport fit 2009. *tr | |||

| My 2009 honda fit sport model will occasionally not stop when brakes are applied, but jump forward ten feet or so. on 4/4/09 this caused me to hit another car, resulting in $2400 body damage. honda says nothing is wrong with the car--no computer codes--and will not try to repair it. i can no longer drive it safely, but cannot get honda america to acknowledge problem or help me. | |||
