NHTSA complaint: HONDA 08L14-E09-100 — EQUIPMENT
I TOOK MY 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY TO THE DEALER AFTER RECEIVING THE BRAKE RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALER MADE THE CHANGES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE. ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 50 -55 MPHI HAD TO STOP QUICKLY TO AVOID HITTING A CAR THAT HAD STOPPED IN THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VAN DID NOT STOP SO I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ONTO A LAWN AND MY VAN SIDE SWIPED A MAILBOX . THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WHO WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY( 2 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT) BUT WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED APPROPRIATELY. *TR
