Takata recall. Owned a 2007 honda accord in 2013 in south florida. In 2014, I got into a low speed, in city, motor vehicle accident where tires locked up and slid into vehicle in front of me, the airbags deployed and exploded spraying debris everywhere and leaving a gash on my face. Vehicle was reported as totaled by insurance. I starting suffering from migraines shortly after and was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor a couple of years later.
My 2007 honda accord has braking problems. I recently had to replace the all of the brakes and rotors due to over heating. The brakes are mushy and applying the brakes results in a jerky, spasmodic, uneven effect that is close to resulting in loss of vehicle control. The symptoms are very similar to those of the 2008 odyssey that resulted in a recall.
