NHTSA complaint: 2019 HONDA PILOT — SERVICE BRAKES
HONDA PILOT 2019 -DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH 3 KIDS AT THE BACK, AT A SPEED ~40MPH. THE LANE IN WHICH I WAS DRIVING (RIGHT) SLOWED DOWN, SO MOVED TO THE LEFT LANE. THAT LANE WAS ALSO SLOWING AS I CAN SEE THE CARS IN THE FRONT SLOWING DOWN AND STOPPING. MY ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR PROVED FUTILE. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. 1) REPEATED PUMPING OF THE BREAKS DID NOT YIELD TO STOP THE CAR. HONDA PILOT COLLIDED WITH THE CAR IN THE FRONT. 2) THE CARS SYSTEM TO SLOW THE CAR WHILE APPROACHING A VEHICLE IN THE FRONT DID NOT FUNCTION. 3) AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL - NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. - COLLISION CENTER WAS LITERALLY BAFFLING, OVER THIS - HAVE NO CLUE HOW THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS KIND OF A COLLISION. I SERIOUSLY SUSPECT THAT THERE IS SOME THING SERIOUSLY FLAWED. SINCE I'M NOT AN AUTOMOBILE ENGINEER, I'M NOT SURE OF TECHNICALITY INVOLVED IN THIS. SOMETHING WENT WRONG TERRIBLY, THAT THE CAR DID NOT STOP ON BRAKING, CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN, & THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN INFORMED ABOUT THIS TO HONDA, HONDA WAS REFERRING TO GEICO, THAT THEY WILL DO THE INVESTIGATION. GEICO SAYS THAT ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND HONDA SHOULD DO THE INVESTIGATION. AS A COMMON MAN I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM INVESTIGATED AND NECESSARY ACTION TO BE TAKEN. I SEE THEY SUBROGATE EACH OTHER, WHICH IS NOT CORRECT. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY CARS ARE RUNNING IN THIS CONDITION ON THE ROAD. PLEASE DO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO CHECK ON THIS. I CAN GIVE ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMEN
