I was driving between 30 and 40 MPH on the highway in moderate traffic when traffic suddenly stopped at an off-ramp. I pushed my brake pedal all the way to the floor before feeling the brakes engage at all. It appeared that I had enough distance to stop, but my car continued to slide into the vehicle in front of me, and we were surprised to have the air bags deploying in our faces as we hit the other car. That car then hit the car in front of it. All 3 cars were undrivable. The other two drivers were transported to the hospital by ambulance, while my daughter and I had pain for 1-2 weeks following. I drove another car while my car was in the shop, and was shocked at the difference in the braking. Driving the honda every day, I did not notice the changes in brake functioning over time. I literally had to push the pedal all the way to the floor to get the brakes to work. I just had the brake recall performed, and notice a drastic difference in stopping distance and in how little I have to push on the pedal now to get the brakes to engage. I was told by honda that the soft brakes would have had nothing to do with my accident because it doesn't have to do with actual brake functioning.

We have a 2010 honda odyssey. I was looking ahead in traffic and notice the car in front of me had slam their brakes. I thought I had enough distances to stop, but my brakes locked up and I couldn't maneuver the steering wheel. I felt like I kept sliding instead of just stopping. The road conditions were dry and at dusk time during the day. The lady from the car that I barely hit, got out of her car and asked me how new was my vehicle. I told her that we had just got it. She said when I looked back to see you, you had enough room to stop but it looked like you kept sliding. She thought I should go and get my brakes checked. So I did at the same honda dealership and they said my brakes were find. I don't think that my brakes are fine. I had a 2004 odyssey and I felt safer with those brakes than I do with this brand new vehicle. One other thing about my vehicle since I am on here. We had taken a long trip just after we had bought the vehicle. A warning light came own. My husband looked in the manual it was in relation to emissions. It was the malfunction indicator lamp. We had called the dealership and they told us 2 things. Take it in to get it looked at the nearest honda dealership and are we tightening our gas tank cap. So we took it to a dealership. They told us nothing was wrong. During our whole trip back we made sure our gas tank cap was tighten. To this vary day they say nothing is wrong, but the light comes and goes. They can't tell us what is wrong with it that there is nothing wrong. So I am on here concern about my family and I safety.
