Service Brakes
01/31/2019
WHENEVER THE WEATHER DROPS BELOW FREEZING, MY BRAKES STOP WORKING. THE CARE MAY WORK FINE FOR THE FIRST BLOCK, BUT FAIL TWO OR THREE BLOCKS INTO A DRIVE. WHEN I TRY TO STEP ON THE BRAKE, AND IT FEELS FROZEN -- STUCK ALMOST. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, OF IDLING THE MANUAL BRAKE RETURNS TO NORMAL ACTIVITY. THIS IS EXTREMELY ALARMING -- ESPECIALLY ON CITY ROADS WITH NUMEROUS PEDESTRIANS, STUDENTS, AND OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. IT IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE; I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANOTHER CAR, AND FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT A NUMBER OF OTHER DRIVERS EXPRESSED CONCERN TO DEALERS, THE MANUFACTURER, AND NHTSA WITH NO OUTCOME. WILL IT TAKE A CASUALTY OR HOPEFULLY NOT A FATALITY FOR AN INVESTIGATION/ ACTION?

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AND SHE SAID THE WHEEL LOCKED AND SHE COULD NOT TURN STRIKING A MAIL BOX AT 20 MPH. THIS WAS WITNESSED BY MY NEIGHBOR WHO WAS MOWING HIS LAWN. HE SAID HE SAW HER TRYING TO TURN BUT THE CAR WAS NOT TURNING. IF SHE WAS GOING FASTER SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

Air Bags

I RECEIVED A TAKATA RECALL AND WENT TO ROSENTHAL ACURA TO GET IT REPLACED. THAT WAS COMPLETED BY ROSENTHAL. I THINK THAT WAS AROUND A YEAR AGO. ON 04/23/2018 I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. MY SPEED AT IMPACT PROBABLY WAS ABOUT 30-25 MPH. THE CAR I HIT WAS STATIONARY. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHY NOT?
