• 12/31/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL, THE AIRBAGS TURN OFF WHEN GOING DOWNHILL ON A STREET AND HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO USE THE BRAKES AND WHILE NOT USING THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE.

• 12/30/2020· ENGINE

  THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BURN OIL VERY FAST EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. I'VE HAD TO FILL UP THE OIL 3 TIMES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND NO LEAKS HAVE BEEN FOUND AFTER A THOROUGH SEARCH.

• 12/30/2020· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THERE IS A LATENCY DELAY BETWEEN MY PHONE AND BLUETOOTH OF ABOUT 4 SECONDS AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

  I WAS DRIVING A 2012 HONDA CIVIC WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP DUE TO SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND TRIED TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BY SWERVING TO THE RIGHT. THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN THE FRONT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MY CAR LIT ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS BURNED AND COMPLETELY DESTROYED. *JS

• 12/29/2014· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. WHEN DESCENDING A HILL AFTER LETTING UP ON GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE WILL REV UP FOR A FEW OF SECONDS AND HITTING THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGE THROTTLE, ALSO WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER PULLING IN AND LET UP ON PEDAL THE CAR STILL REVVED UP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER YET AS I AM TRYING TO FIND EXACTLY HOW AND WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SO I CAN GET THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS PROBLEM (SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS, AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM). AS WE ALL KNOW THEY CAN NEVER GET THE PROBLEMS TO REPRODUCE. *TR

• 12/28/2019· AIR BAGS

  THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR SLIGHTLY GRAZED A SNOWBANK. THERE WASN'T AN "IMPACT" BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE SNOWBANK. THE CAR SPEED WAS LESS THAN 10 MPH TURNING A CORNER ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE CAR. NOT A NICK OR A SCRATCH. THE DIRT DIDN'T EVEN MOVE ON THE CAR. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY.

• 12/28/2019· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  APPLIED WATER FROM A GARDEN HOSE TO THE ROOF OF MY CAR IN AN EFFORT TO REMOVE LEAVES AND OTHER VEGETATIVE DEBRIS THAT WAS STUCK TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I APPLIED WATER AT REGULAR PRESSURE TO THE ROOF, LARGE SECTIONS OF PAINT CAME OFF OF THE ROOF. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY ARE ARGUING THIS PARTICULAR PAINT COLOR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THE PAINT THAT WAS APPLIED TO THE ROOF OF MY CAR FAILED DUE TO A DEFECT.

• 12/28/2017· AIR BAGS

  THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS COMING OUT TO TELL THE DRIVER THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED SOMETIMES WHEN THERE IS A PERSON WHO SITS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL OF MONTHS AGO BUT THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING EVERYTHING IS FINE NO RECALL ON THE LIST. IT HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IN 2012 AND IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN RECENTLY.

• 12/27/2014· STEERING

  A FEW HOURS AGO (2012 CIVIC SI) THE CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. IT WAS HECK TRYING TO STEER BACK INTO PARKING. CALLED THE DEALER; BUT SINCE IT WAS CLOSING TIME, HE ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IN THE A.M. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE REVVING ITSELF WHEN I'M IN NEUTRAL. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE POWER STEERING STOPPED. *TR

• 12/25/2015· ENGINE

  VEHICLE FREQUENTLY STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT AFTER COMING TO A STOP, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE, HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE HURT/KILLED (IF NOT ALREADY, AND HOW WOULD WE KNOW BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM DESPITE ALL THE COMPLAINTS?), AND NO IT IS NOT DUE TO "LEFT FOOT BRAKING"

• 12/25/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THERE IS NO ACCIDENT, HERE IS PROBLEM: I HAVE 6840 MILES ON A 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX 4DR. WHEN FUEL TANK FILLED TO ALL THE WAY, THE FUEL WAS SLAPPING ABOUT FRONT TO BACK WHILE HIT BRAKE OR PARKING. IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND FUEL SLAM INTO THE WALL OF FUEL TANK. I WENT TO HONDA LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL, YOU ARE NOT FIRST ONE TO COMPLAINT, BUT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN TO IT. THIS IS UNSAFE, 10 GAL GAS FLOW IN TANK WILL THROW OFF THE BALANCE WHILE YOU MAKE TURNS, OR CAUSE DAMAGE SENSORS IN THE TANK, OR CAUSE FUEL SYSTEM LEAK EVEN FIRE. *TR

• 12/21/2012· AIR BAGS

  HONDA CIVIC 2012 HAS A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR SYSTEM. MY SON WHO IS 14 YEARS OLD AND 102 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN HE MAKES ANY SHIFTS LIKE LEAN ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, THE AUTO WARNS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE SEE THIS WARNING WITH BIG ILLUMINATION. WHEN THE PASSENGER CENTERS HIMSELF ON THE SEAT, THE WARNING GOES AWAY. THE LEAN CAN BE ON ANY SIDE. THE SLIGHTEST LEAN SUCH THAT HIS LEFT LEG IS NOT PUTTING ALL THE WEIGHT CAN TRIGGER THIS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND HE SAYS THIS IS BY DESIGN. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY ARE LOGGED A REPORT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS WITH TOYOTA, LEXUS, HYUNDAI. EVEN WITH A YOUNGER KID IT DOES NOT TRIGGER AIRBAG WARNING. SO THIS IS HONDA CIVIC DEFECT WHICH CAN BE CATASTROPHIC IN ACCIDENT SITUATION WHERE THE PASSENGER WILL BE SHIFTED BY COLLISION. *TR

• 12/21/2012· AIR BAGSCrash

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 4 TO 5 MPH A CRASH OCCURRED. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF AN INJURY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR THE AIR BAG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

• 12/21/2012· STEERING,POWER TRAIN

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED AS THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE DRIVEWAY ON AN INCLINE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE IN REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THERE WAS ALSO A CLANKING NOISE WHEN THE GEARS CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY AND WHENEVER THE CONTACT MADE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 994.

• 12/20/2011· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHILE I WAS DIVING ON 1ST OCTOBER NIGHT, MY DASH LIGHT WAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. IN HONDA CIVIC SPEEDOMETER IS DIGITAL, SO IT WAS TURNED OFF TOO. SO I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT CHECKING THE SPEED. LATER I TOOK MY CAR TO A NEAREST HONDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, MANY TIMES TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY ACTION SO THAT THE DEALER CAN DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. REGARDING THIS PROBLEM,I ALSO WROTE A MAIL TO AMERICAN HONDA'S CEO BUT GOT NO REPLY TILL NOW. AS A RESULT I AM DRIVING THIS CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND MY LIFE IS AT RISK. *TR

  WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, CAR IN FRONT BRAKED, HIT BRAKES AND THEY JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SLAMMED INTO CAR IN FRONT WITH OUR 4 AND 5 YEAR OLD BOYS IN BACK SEAT. GEICO CALLED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. HONDA REFUSES TO INSPECT THE CAR IN FEAR OF MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. TO MAKE IT WORSE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. ROADS WERE DRY, NO ICE OR ANYTHING ELSE TO CAUSE INABILITY TO STOP. *TR

• 12/17/2019· STEERING

  I BEGAN TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORKPLACE TO HEAD TOWARDS THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY STEERING STOPS WORKING. I WORK IN A VERY BUSY AREA AND TRAFFIC IS VERY BUSY. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AND THAT I AM A SAFE DRIVER BECAUSE IF I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY GOTTEN INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM ALSO VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE WEATHER DID NOT END UP BEING INCLEMENT AS IT WAS PREDICTED TO BE. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2012-2013 HONDA CIVICS. SHOULDN'T THEY INITIATE A RECALL PROCESS BECAUSE THIS ISN'T SAFE.

• 12/16/2019· ENGINE

  HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION.

• 12/16/2013· SUSPENSION,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE

  I SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF 2012 CIVIC OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ANNOYING PROBLEMS LIKE CLUNKING NOISE ON THE SUSPENSION OR UNDER THE CAR, LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFTING TO REVERSE LIKE AXLE SHAFT IS DISENGAGING, LOUD NOISE WHEN PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE, CLUNKING OR POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, ROLLING NOISE ON THE SEAT BELTS, CLUNKING LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND RELEASING GAS PEDAL, RATTLING NOISE IN THE MORNING WHILE WARMING UP THE ENGINE AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. ATF LEAKING ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE ONE OF THE BOLTS IS NOT TIGHTENED...ETC. I THINK THIS 2012 HONDA CIVIC MODELS SHOULD BE RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS. YOU CAN CHECK THE INTERNET HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL!!!?????? IT IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM ONLY CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HOPE THE US GOVERMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. *TR

  HONDA WONT FIX HOOD LATCH THAT FAILS TO OPEN AND NOW HAS ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY NORMAL STATE TITLE SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE STATE MAKE IT A SALVAGED TITLED IN ERROR. THEY ARE DIRTY. THEY HAVE NEVER HONOR ANY WARRANTY ON THE CAR AND HAVE SAID IT IS A SALVAGE TITLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NOT AS SUCH A VEHICLE THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS HAVE RIPPED US OFF...PLEASE REFER TO CONSUMER PROTECTION BUREAU TOO

• 12/15/2020· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THE HOOD DOES NOT OPEN. THE LATCH HAS FAILED WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES AND THE OFFICIAL POSITION OF AMERICAN HONDA IS GO SCREW YOURSELF THE CAR IS A 2012 AND HAS A SALVAGED TITLE BUT IT NEVER HAD A SALVAGED TITLE AND THEY LIE AND NEVER PROVIDED US ANY WARRANTY SERVICES EVER. WE HAVE OWNED OVER 10 HONDAS AND THEY ARE UNLOYAL.

TOWED IT TO THE MECHANIC, THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR, SPENT ABOUT 600 AND STILL DID NOT WORK. I ENDED UP TOWING MY CAR HOME FROM THE MECHANIC PLACE. I WAITED ABOUT A WEEK, TURNED MY CAR ON, AND IT STARTED WORKING PERFECT. I TOOK IT TO HONDA SHOP, THE RUN SOME TEST AND THEY SAID IT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING.

  TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO TURN ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE PUTS ON A SEAT BELT OR SITS IN THE BACK SEAT

• 12/13/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL - MY PASSENGER AIRBAG ALWAYS TURNS OFF AND GIVES ME AN ERROR OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" INDICATOR... WHETHER AN ADULT OR TEEN OVER 65 LBS IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO CHECK THIS ISSUE OUT WITH HONDA. THEY ALWAYS DO SOMETHING CRAZY TO MY CAR AND BREAK SOMETHING. AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO GET SOMETHING CHECKED OUT AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY. THIS LIGHT GOES ON SEVERAL TIMES SO I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE. I REMEMBER IT OCCURRING ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2017 AND IT'S OCCURRED IN DECEMBER 2017.

• 12/13/2016· AIR BAGSCrash

  I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HAD A VERY LOW FRONT IMPACT CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. I BARELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. A CAR CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND I HIT THEM. I WAS GOING 5-7MPH, MY FRONT STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED. THE DRIVER AIRBAG BROKE MY RIGHT LOWER ARM. IT BROKE BOTH BONES AND TORE A NERVE WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY. I NOW HAVE TWO PLATES AND MANY SCREWS IN MY ARM WITH NERVE DAMAGE. I HAVE NO FEELING IN PARTS OF MY THUMB AND FIRST TWO FINGERS AND HALF OF MY KNUCKLE AREA IS ALSO NUMB. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2016. IT IS THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER AND I AM STILL TOO SCARED TO DRIVE. I STILL CAN'T USE MY ARM BECAUSE IT STILL HASN'T HEALED. I HAVE SUFFERED PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG BREAKING MY ARM. IF THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HURT AT ALL. COULD THERE HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS? A RECALL?? I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE.

  2012 HONDA CIVIC EX. SEAL COAT FAILURE, MOSTLY ON ROOF WITH SOME PAINT PEELAGE ON DOOR HANDLE AND SPOILER ALSO. THIS STARTED 2 1/2 YEARS AGO AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVLEY WORSE. HONDA WILL NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF PAINT DEFECTS AND HAVE COVERED A FEW MODELS BUT NOT ALL MODELS AFFECTED.

• 12/10/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE CAR IS IT ACTS LIKE IT IS POSSESSED. FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, THE CAR (WHEN PARKED) WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASH LIKE CRAZY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND THEN IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IT WILL CONTINUE AND EVENTUALLY STOP. ONCE IT STOPS THE BATTERY IS THEN DEAD. THE CAR THEN NEEDS TO BE JUMPED AND WILL RUN FINE FOR AWHILE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CAR IS DRIVEN DAILY AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 4 TIMES. AS SUCH, THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE SINCE WHEN WE TAKE IT IN THE CAR IS FINE. THIS HAS US VERY CONCERNED WITH KIDS AND OURSELVES, AS THIS COULD OCCUR AT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE 2 DOOR COUPE THAT THEY SHOULD START SELLING WITH A SET OF FREE JUMPER CABLES AS AN ACCESSORY. *TR

• 12/08/2017· POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I HAVE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS, SIMILAR TO THOSE LISTED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ONLINE. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 11/27/2017 ,10/6/2017,10/9/17 AND IN OTHER SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND ITS INABILITY TO PERFORM IN A SAFE MATTER HAS GREATLY TROUBLED ME CONCERNING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY PUBLIC. THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED ON THAT DAY, WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR ALSO LAUNCHES FORWARD WHILE IN THE DRIVE GEAR OR ON REVERSE AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS , WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF THE GARAGE/DRIVEWAY THE CAR CLUNKED AND LURCHED AHEAD. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS UNATTENDED GAS CONTROL ISSUE, THE CAR ALSO REACHES TOP SPEEDS OF OVER 37 MPH WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL ONCE. THIS NOW HAPPENS DAILY, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR WHEN I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND I FEEL THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN ?AROUND. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, BUT THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER (AMERICAN HONDA) REQUESTING A FIELD ENGINEER HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY RESOLUTION AND I?M GETTING NOWHERE WITH THEM. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILIES AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY. I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND RENTING A CAR IS NOT WITHIN MY BUDGET. I HOPE THAT WITH YOUR HELP I CAN GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

• 11/21/2023· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  While driving at about 40 mph the car suddenly started to pull toward the left. I pressed on the brake pedal as I steered to the right to try to bring the car back to my lane but I noticed the brake pedal was already very hard. In a second the car skidded out of control toward the right side of the road and it slammed its left side against some big rocks. The driver's door window broke and the side airbags deployed. The big rocks kept us from going into the water of a lake that the road runs next to. The passengers in the car were myself and my wife and were not injured but it was a very terrifying incident and the consequences could have been a lot worse. The vehicle has been released to Progressive, the Insurance Company.
