At around 7:25am this morning I was driving to work in traffic and I was needing to stop, but my brakes were not working properly. They went all the way to the floor, no pressure, and I rear ended another person going 35mph. My entire front-end of my vehicle is totalled and my airbags did not even deploy. After the wreck I pumped my breaks to try to move it off the freeway and the breaks started to work again. This is a serious problem because had I been going any faster and even had my other family in the car we all could have been seriously injured or died!!

2012 Accord exl - Engine Seizure! I had the air-bag recall done about 5 years ago. None of the air-bags deployed when the 2012 exl hit a telephone pole at 20 mph and broke the telephone pole in half. I finally found out about the class action lawsuit for the excessive oil consumption yesterday (1 Qt per 1,000 miles), 2 years after the engine seizure. I spoke with Honda headquarters (1919 Torrance Blvd., Torrance, ca 90501) today for an hour and a half. mostly on hold waiting for [XXX] to get her stupervisor [XXX] to come to the phone. Honda Seemed to think my 2012 v6 exl is not part of the lot of cars they were supposed to fix in the excessive oil consumption class action lawsuit. If you have any advice on how I could recover any funds spent on my engine repair or if there is any recourse I could take with the airbags not deploying when I had the recall done 5 years ago at my local Honda dealer. Thanks [XXX] PS.. Cherokee Auto in North Atlanta Georgia has the car for sale with the faulty airbags… CarMax repossessed it, sold it for more than I owed them, wrote off $6500 as bad debt, and still say I owe them 750 and staying on my credit report. Pls help! TF INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ON JAN 16, 2018 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON E. KINGS, SHREVEPORT, LA IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4-LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:40PM. IT HAD SNOWED THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THERE WERE STILL PATCHES OF ICE ON ROADWAYS IN MANY SPOTS. AS I APPROACHED ONE OF THOSE ICE PATCHES AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHICH COVERED BOTH LANES IN THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, AN SUV BEHIND ME AND TRAVELLING THE SAME DIRECTION BEGAN TO PASS MY VEHICLE, LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE ON THE ICE AND INTO NORTHBOUND LANE AND WHEN HE HIT DRY PAVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF ROAD VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND HIT MY CAR BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF HIS VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA AND MY HEAD WAS BANGED AGAINST THE INSIDE PILLAR ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLLISION RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE HONDA'S DRIVER DOOR, LEFT REAR DOOR SEVERELY DAMAGED AND PULLED SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE; AND LIGHT DAMAGE ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOTH VEHICLES REMAINED IN MOTION UNTIL THE COLLISION. SUV SPUN AGAIN AFTER IMPACT & CAME TO A STOP BLOCKING BOTH SOUTHBOUND LANES WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING THE NORTHBOUND LANES. II WAS USING MY SEATBELT AS I ALWAYS DO. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF THE SUV WHEN IT HIT MY HONDA, THE DAMAGE IT INFLICTED ON THE HONDA, AND THE FACT IT SPUN THE SUV BACK AROUND COMPLETELY FACING ANOTHER DIRECTION (IMAGE SUV 1) THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON HONDA.
