Truck was parked for 5+ minutes in same stationary spot as it has been parked many time before in similar conditions and environment. Passenger front Door to vehicle was closed and truck somehow slipped a gear and brake and rolled away as shown in the video that recorded on my ring doorbell.
2019 Honda Ridgeline. Consumer writes in regard to defective brake pedal. The consumer stated the vehicle had soft/spongy brakes and to correct the safety concern the master brake cylinder and brake booster both were replaced. The problem still persisted, so the consumer sold the vehicle on 07/27/22.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated while attempting to park in a parking space, the vehicle independently accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a wall. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained some body soreness but no medical attention was required. The vehicle was drivable but the insurance company had the vehicle towed to a local body shop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that they would have to contact their insurance company. The failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Honda Ridgeline, 2019, Honda sensing, was turning into a parking spot in front of a bldg, 1/2 way in, the sensing, sensed something? the big yellow light comes on the dash with the words "brake", truck comes to a complete halt, I was slightly jerked forward, the truck was at a complete stop, 1/2 in 1/2 out or parking spot, diagonally, my hands on the wheel, I then just lightly touched the gas petal to move forward and park, but the truck resumed to full speed and ran me into the wall, about 15 feet in front of me. I could not do anything, the cruise control was not on, the gas pedal was not floored, the computer just told it to resume the speed. The air bag deployed, my hands were hurt... I was alone on the street.
Driving at about 55 mph, my 2019 Honda Ridgeline's airbags didn't deploy when I hit a 2015 Ford Focus that failed to yield the right of way and cut infront of me. Honda sensing's collision mitigation braking system and forward collision warning failed to alert me and failed to stop my vehicle either.

The brake pedal goes to the floor and requires pumping to restore to half way. This is extremely dangerous when driving in snowy conditions and the dealer states this is normal for Honda Ridgelines. The vehicle will not stop without pumping the brakes when driving on the highway.
My Ridgeline brakes provide a firm solid brake action with very little pedal travel when the temp is below 70 but after warmup, both vehicle and outside air temp warms to plus 70 degrees, the brakes turn into mushy soft and extremely long pedal travel. The Honda Accord, civic, Odyssey, and CRV do not do this. The entry-level Accord has most of the same systems that the rl has. No matter what trim level you have, 2wd or AWD, when temps rise above 70 the brakes are frustrating poor to horrible. My Honda dealership manager and the service manager both drove mine rl and we test drove several others. They confirm exactly the same braking experiences. The position of the service department appears to be that Honda intended to make the rl with inconsistent, temp sensitive and excessive pedal travel as "okay" when the climate becomes warm to hot. This condition is unacceptable. This vehicle has been to dealership 5 times with this complaint.
