ON THE 5TH OF MARCH 2001, I DROVE MY CAR WITH TWO CHILDREN( 8 AND 10 YEARS OLD) ON THE FREEWAY 57. I NEEDED TO TAKE FREEWAY 91 EAST SO I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 25 MPH ON THE FREEWAY 67 SOUTHBOUND. BUT I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN BECAUSE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION. I BARELY STOPPED THE CAR BY USING SIDE BRAKE. MY FAMILY MIGHT BE KILLED IF I DID NOT USE SIDE BRAKE PROPERLY ON TIME. MY CAR WASI TOWED AWAY AND GOT FIXED AT WEIR CAYON HONDA DEALER. THERE WERE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS I NOTICED. FIRST, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT HAPPED. SECOND, MACHANIC SAID THAT BRAKE MATER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTERNALY AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAPPEN TO MY CAR AGAIN OR OTHER CAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME.*AK
