Started seeing this problem from day 1. This is a safety issue and it's an accident waiting to happen. You have to press on the brakes really hard to get any kind of decent stopping.

When the brakes are needed suddenly the brake pedal travel is to excessive. The brakes are slow to respond as if they are not working and then they grab suddenly with the brake pedal almost to the floor. This is very unnerving as you think you are loosing control of the car.

The auto -stop feature is now completely defective. Since I hit 30,000 miles I have had issues with it infrequently completely shutting off the engine. Now the mileage is higher, the vehicle shuts off every time I stop at light or stop sign.

Brakes are ridiculously slow. Brake response time is very slow even though speed is within 30 miles per hour or less. You literally have to push paddle completely down to the floor and even after that it won't stop immediately.

Rear breaks is self activating when vehicle is stationary or in park or at stop light and when you apply the accelerator or start to drive you can hear it release with some noise in the rear and it continues to grid the pads as if the break calipers have not fully released from the rear rotors. The noise is also very noticeable as the vehicle moves at a lower speed below 25mph.

When applying the brakes, the brake pedal is low/soft. Also, when in stop-n-go traffic and applying the brakes, the brakes pedal goes lower and I have to press harder on the brakes. I took my car to stevens creek honda in calif and they bled my brakes this helped a little but did not solve the problem.
