The NHTSA has opened up an investigation into the 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid due to a potential safety defect in the braking performance. The NHTSA investigation is in response to a compliant from a customer who was involved in a crash in the summer of 2005 with the vehicle.
The complaint alleges that while traveling along rumble strips on the side of the highway and trying to brake, the vehicle failed to brake and began to accelerate out of control. The result ended in a crash and the death of the passenger of the vehicle and injuries of occupants of two other vehicles. The driver was left disabled.
