JANUARY 5TH, 2009 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I BELIEVE WAS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE BRAKE ISSUE WITH MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THE "SOFT AND MUSHY" BRAKES TO THIS SITE AND TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. ON THE EVENING OF THE ACCIDENT, I SHOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP AFTER THE PANIC STOP OF A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, DUE TO ANOTHER TURNING DRIVER. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP THE VAN IN TIME. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR-ENDED THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO HER CAR AND MINE WITH MY AIRBAG DEPLOYING. THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES HAS BEEN ONE THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT TO MULTIPLE HONDA DEALERS AND THEY HAVE IGNORED, ALWAYS SAYING THAT THEY WERE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. I HAVE DRIVEN VANS FOR 17 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THE BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHERS. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN OTHER THAN SOFT AND WEAK BRAKES THAT INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. WE ARE CONTACTING THE HONDA BODY SHOP THAT HAS THE VAN AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE DOING A COMPLETE INSPECTION ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM AGAIN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT OR KILLED. *TR
