The brakes failed when in reverse. The reverse sensors do not detect movement, the car does at intersections. A blue vertical line appears when the car is in reverse. The panel freezes...all this happened when the car was in motion.

On 3 separate occasions, the honda hard braked by itself, almost causing an accident. If i didn't have my seat belt on, i would have been thrown through the windshield. There were no other cars around, or i could have been easily rear-ended by another vehicle. The car was moving, when it suddenly stopped by itself very abruptly and very hard. This happened on a small street with no other cars present.
