Description of the problem | I was driving my 2007 honda odyssey. As i was coming to a stop, i became involved in an accident. Over the recent weeks i thought it was taking longer to stop my van, but had my van in for service the week before. I was assure that everything was fine and all fluid levels were correct. ***note: on my first service visit the service adviser told me that i should not be concerned about brake fluid levels that the van would notify me when it was time to replace the breaks and that the van was designed to do so. The police were called to the scene of the accident. I could not explain the accident and the officer coaxed me in to saying that i had been distracted. I was in shock. My son was in the car with me and i could not think much of anything else other than whether he was safe. I believe i had come to a complete stop then hit the vehicle in front of me. My airbags did not deploy. Ever since the accident i have continued to notice that i must press the brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to stop the van and other times i don't in normal driving circumstances. All along i had believed the dealership that everything was fine with my vehicle. Now i have damages to pay and a ticket i am facing as a result of what i believe to be break failure. I will be making a follow-up report with my local police department, faxing a copy other similar break failure complaints to my insurance company, contacting honda and hopefully will be able to get some answers on the problem with my van. |
