2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Service Brakes Problems

I took this car for a test drive. The dealer said they had repaired a number of issues such as front end work, power steering hoses, and power steering fluid. They said it had passed a safety inspection. The dealer handed me a list of all the issues with the vehicle which they chose not to repair, which include: 1) vehicle driver door lock/unlock doesn't work 2) Driver sliding door doesn't work 3) beeping when turning on power sliding doors (Doesn't beep if you have it off), tpms light is on (needs sensors maybe? dont know), 4) rear wiper inop Those are direct quotes -- however, on the test drive I found several other issues which were alarming. 1) A bad wheel bearing in the right rear wheel was extremely loud, sounding like an airplane taking off on the highway, this was not mentioned in any way before test driving. 2) The brakes are weak and the rotors warped, pulsating during braking 3) The radio did not work and gave an "Error" code 4) the seat belts have very dark markings on them either from wear or mold 5) missing rear passenger side seat 6) broken rear ventilation (blower motor likely) I thought I should report this as it was not mentioned and upon checking online this is a serious safety issue. I am surprised they passed it. [XXX] This vehicle is STILL FOR SALE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TIRES PRURCHASED FROM WALMART 10/6/18 WERE INSTALLED IMPROPERLY AND THEY CHANGED THE MANUFACTURES CALIBRATION. THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON, I RETURNED THE VAN TO WALMART; THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I MADE FIVE VISITS. THE MANAGER DID NOT KNOW WHAT A TPMS SENSOR WAS; DID NOT HAVE ANY IN THE SHOP. I FREQUENTLY HAD THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE CHECKS. TWO WEEKS AGO, DRIVING THE VAN THE TIRES SEEMED TO BE WOBBLY, I HAD THE AIR PRESSURE CHECKED AGAIN AND AGAIN. ON APRIL 15, 2021, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH WALMART AT THE MAIN OFFICE AND TOOK THE SUV TO THE HAMMOND, INDIANA CAR CENTER. AFTER HAGGLING WITH THE STAFF FO OVER 4 HOURS, THEY REPLACED THE TWO TIRE. THE PROBLEM OF THE WOBBLING TIRES HAD NOT BEEN SOLVED. ONLY THE WOBBLING WAS LESS NOTICEABLE. I MADE OVER 20 TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE CAR CENTER WITHOUT THE PHONE BEING ANSWERED. TODAY I FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH WALMART HEADQUARTERS.MARTHA, THE PERSON THAT TOOK THE COMPLAINT STATED THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CAR CENTER. THIS CENTER SHOULD BE CLOSED; LIVES ARE AT STACK AND THE WORKERS ARE RUDE AND ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE TREAD ACT. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THE TPMS COMING ON UNTIL WALMART REPLACED MY TIRES. MY MECHANIC DRIVE THE SUV AND HIS OBSERVATION WAS "THE FRONT TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND BY 1/4 INCH AND INNER SIDE WALL BULGING". HIS FIRST OBSERVATION WAS IN OCTOBER 2018, SHORTLY AFTER WALMART INSTALLED THE TIRES. ON 4/15/21, I CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND THEY GAVE NO INFORMATION ON TPMS . I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS SUV AD I BELIEVE THAT WALMART IS VIOLATING THE TREAD ACT. THEY RELUCTANTLY REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT EVEN WORSE THE TPMS LIGHT IS STILL ON. THERE WERE NO NOTIFICATIONS POSTED ON THE WALLS IN THAT CAR CENTER. IN ADDITION, MY SON RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES FOR HIS SUV FROM THIS SAME WALMART HE WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT TPMS SENSORS AND NONE WERE INSTALLED.

MY VSA LIGHT WONT GO OFF AND NOW MY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON ALSO IM SCARED MY VAN IS GOING TO BRAKE OR STOP WORKING PROPERLY.

I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR IN MARCH 2020. THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS WITH THE BRAKES. THE CAR REQUIRE A MORE THAN USUAL PEDAL PRESSURE FOR THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IN HIGH SPEED. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF HONDA ODESSEY OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE.

VAN TAKES TOO LONG TO STOP. PEDAL FEELS HIGH, BUT STOPPING TAKES TOO LONG. NEW BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ANY TIME I AM DRIVING AT A RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED (45+) GOING DOWNHILL AND NEED TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY. I LOOKED THIS UP AND IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS -- WARPED ROTORS, AND NOT DUE TO OVERUSE OR HIGH MILES. MY HONDA ACTUALLY HAS PRETTY LOW MILES. IT IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FEEL LIKE I ALMOST DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR SINCE IT SHAKES SO MUCH. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THIS IS EASILY A $500-1000 FIX. AS FOR THE DATE BELOW, IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, SO I JUST PUT IN THE MOST RECENT DATE. WE CAMPED LAST WEEKEND AND IT HAPPENED YET AGAIN. FINALLY PROMPTED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT...

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED (5-10 MPH) AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FEB 1, 2018 AND FEB 14, 2018. THE PROBLEM CAUSED MINOR ACCIDENTS IN BOTH CASES. ON FEB 1, THE CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AND RAN OVER A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN. ON FEB 14, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO A TRACTOR-TRAILER CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ODYSSEY, BUT NOT TO THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP MAINTAINS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR. AS THE OWNER, I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND IN FACT WE HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT 22 OTHER PEOPLE HAD HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 ODYSSEY. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NEED FOR A RECALL, BUT HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 165,000

HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE ISSUES FROM HONDA OF AMERICA AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE ODYSSEY'S SAFETY. THIS VAN HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE NEW THAT HONDA HAS CONSISTENTLY ATTEMPTED TO AVOID DEALING WITH.

BRAKE PEDAL FEEL WHEN SLOWING IN ANY FORWARD/REVERSE DIRECTION IS UNRESPONSIVE INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND AFFECTING EMERGENCY MANEUVERS.

ON OCTOBER 16, 2013, MY HONDA ACCELERATED AT A FAST SPEED UP MY DRIVEWAY AND CAUSED $6,178.37 IN REPAIR COSTS AND SLAMMED INTO MY FRONT PORCH. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO STOP THE CAR. WE IMMEDIATELY INFORMED HONDA AND OUR INSURANCE CARRIER OF THE ACCIDENT, AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ, AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO DAMAGE. ON 11/15/2013, SEE CLAIMS SUMMARY, HONDA COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THIS AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. THEY NEVER INFORMED US OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HONDA DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, SO I HAD TO RENT A CAR FROM 10/21/13 TO 11/26/13, WHICH I PAID $603.96 OUT OF POCKET (RECEIPTS ENCLOSED). THE AMOUNT OF TIME HONDA WAS WAY TOO LONG FIX MY CAR AND I HAD PAY ADDITIONAL RENTAL COSTS DUE TO THEIR UNREASONABLE DELAY. SHORTLY, AFTER HONDA REPAIRED MY CAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED. REALLY? THIS IS WHY MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY HONDA. A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, THE ENGINE BROKE DOWN. I WROTE TO NJ ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO WROTE BACK AND ASKED THAT I WRITE TO YOU. I AM ALSO ATTACHING PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT. THERE ARE TIRE MARKS IN THE DRIVEWAY DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED OF THE ACCELERATION. PHOTOS FLUIDS RUNNING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE DAMAGED FRONT END. I HAVE ALSO ENCLOSED NJ MANUFACTURER'S, COPY OF THE CLAIM SUMMARY DATED 11/15/13. THIS MATTER IS VERY UPSETTING TO ME AND THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED BY HONDA. MY HUSBAND, ALSO PURCHASED A NEW PILOT, AND MY HONDA WERE BOTH PURCHASED NEW AT THE SAME HONDA. I KNOW THERE ARE ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THIS HONDA AND THIS WAS AN ACCELERATION ISSUE AND A MECHANICAL ISSUE ON THE FAULT OF THE BRAKES I AM REQUESTING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE CAR RENTAL, INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AND A REFUND OF THE COST I PAID FOR THE HONDA IN THE AMOUNT OF $28,931.46. MY CAR HAS NEVER DRIVEN THE SAME SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 150,000

WHEN THE INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS SEVERE. NOW WHEN I AM GOING AT OVER 50MPH AND I START BRAKING, THE CAR'S STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED PREMATURELY. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. ITS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND I WISH THAT HONDA RECALLS THESE CARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

A DAY AFTER AND GOING FORWARD FROM PURCHASING MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L SOFT BRAKE, PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO GROUND BEFORE STOPPING WHEN DRIVING 5 TO 55 MPH.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. EVER SINCE THIS RECALL WAS COMPLETED, I'VE FELT (AND SOMETIME HEARD) A SLIGHT "BUZZ" WHEN FIRST TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE "BUZZ" IS A VIBRATION, WHICH IS FELT IN THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AFTER APPLICATION AND IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEARS IF BRAKING IS HELD, OR RELEASED. IT MAY AGAIN APPEAR IF THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, BUT NOT ALWAYS. BRAKING FEELS NORMAL WITH NO OTHER EVENTS. IT HAS NOT GOTTEN WORSE OR DISAPPEARED. PLEASE CALL FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE BRAKES SUDDENLY HARDENED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE GOING DOWNHILL. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED IN . I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WOODLAND HILLS KEYES HONDA AND LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS SAME VEHICLE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. BASED ON HONDA'S RECOMMENDATIONS, THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER IS TO BE REPLACED IF THERE IS ANY LEAK. IT IS MY POSITION, THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER UPON DETERMINING THAT IT WAS LEAKING AS IMPLICIT IN THE RECALL REQUIRED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER BE REPLACED. HAD THIS BEEN REPLACED THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FAILURE TO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. *JS

I MAINTAINED STEERING CONTROL, REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT MY PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. I'M STATING THIS MILDLY WHEN I SAY THE EXPERIENCE WAS TERRIFYING. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND CALLED OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED I SLOWLY AND SAFELY DRIVE THE VAN TO THE SHOP, WHICH WASN'T TOO FAR AWAY, OR CONSIDER HAVING IT TOWED. I CHOSE TO DRIVE SLOWLY TO THE MECHANICS AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. UPON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, OUR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A STEERING SENSOR THAT LOST ITS MEMORY AND NEEDED RESET, AN EASY FIX AND THAT WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS RARE, IT'S NOT UNHEARD OF, YET IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. (WE HAD RECENTLY HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED PRIOR TO THIS EVENT, THE MECHANIC SUSPECTED THAT WHILE THE TIRES WERE BEING CHANGED, THE SENSOR'S MEMORY MUST HAVE BEEN WIPED.) THE SECOND EVENT WAS THIS PAST WED., OCT. 2, THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS BEFORE HAPPENED AGAIN. ONLY ON THIS OCCASION, OUR MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTIC TESTING DID NOT PROVIDE A CODE AS IT HAD BEFORE, BUT RECOGNIZING THE COMPLAINT, THEY RESET THE SENSOR AGAIN. IN BOTH EVENTS, THE ROADS WERE DRY, CLEAR WEATHER, WE WERE DRIVING ON NEW TIRES AND AT LOW SPEEDS, HAVING JUST MOMENTS BEFORE TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND BEGUN ACCELERATING. WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE HAS TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. WE HIGHLY SUSPECT THIS IS DUE TO THE SUDDEN JERKING BACK AND FORWARDS FROM THIS INVOLUNTARY DECELERATION/ACCELERATION ISSUE; IT'S AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR! HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND GET A FIX ASAP. WE ARE THANKFUL THIS HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT--YET. *WE BOUGHT THIS VAN USED IN 2010. *TR

DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT ON VERY HARD BUT NOT IN A SKID. EVERY ONE WAS THROWN FORWARD INTO THEIR SEATBELTS. THE CAR BEHIND NEARLY CRASHED INTO US. I PUT 4-WAY FLASHERS ON AND WENT SLOWER - 35-40MPH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME GOING SLOWER YET. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AT A STORE AND WHEN WE STARTED OFF AGAIN IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. HOW CAN THIS DANGEROUS HONDA MALFUNCTION BE FIXED? THANKS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO INCREASE ACCELERATION AND REGAIN NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE MAINTAINING A SPEED OF APPROX. 40 MPH WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT SUDDENLY FELT AS IF SOMEONE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE ON THIS DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO CODES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKING SYSTEM THOROUGHLY BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF MY ISSUE. ONE MONTH LATER (8/17/13), THE SAME "SEVERE UNINTENDED BRAKING" HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES WITHIN 1/2-3/4 OF A MILE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITHOUT MY INVOLVEMENT. *TR

Mileage: 102,810

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLYING MY BRAKES, THE ENGINE REVVED, BRAKES STOPPED RESPONDING AND THE VEHICLE PROPELLED FORWARD, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE JUMPING A MEDIAN AND RAMMING INTO A TREE AT WHICH POINT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND ENGINE CUT-OFF. THIS LEFT ME WITH BURNS ON THE SKIN OF MY ARMS AND NECK AREA. I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN THIS VAN FOR SIX YEARS AND AM CERTAIN THAT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AS THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT WAS LEFT INOPERABLE. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR DEALERSHIP THAT THE SIDE AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED WITHIN THE COLUMN, BUT DID NOT ENTER THE CABIN AS IT WAS NOT VISIBLE AND WAS CAUGHT WITHIN THE SEAT BELT PILLAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE THAT STOPPED SHORT AND I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND FELT LIKE NOTHING WAS THERE!!! IT TURNED INTO A THREE CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, AGES 10, 2 AND 1. IT STOPPED VERY LIGHTLY. I ALSO FIND THAT I CAN'T STOP WHERE I INTEND TO AND THAT THE CAR CONTINUALLY ONLY LETS ME DO "ROLLING" STOPS. *TR

Mileage: 54,000

I WAS JUST ENTERING HIGHWAY VIA RAMP AND ACCELERATING TO MERGE. AS SOON AS THE SPEED HIT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, IT SUDDENLY PUT THE BRAKE AND DROPPED THE SPEED TO ABOUT 40MPH. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GO BEYOND THE SPEED, IT SUDDENLY PUT THE BRAKE. I COULD NOT GET THE SPEED TO GO BEYOND 55MPH. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ALSO FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE KEY OFF TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 5MINUTES AND THEN I STARTED THE CAR. THAT TIME, NO PROBLEM. THE EXACTLY SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED THREE OTHER TIMES RATHER RANDOMLY. EVERY TIME, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR FEW MINUTES IT RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO ON THE PHONE TO HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR, HE JUST SAID THAT THE RECALL IS FOR PILOT ONLY AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ODYSSEY HAVING THIS ISSUE. SO, I AM ADDING MY NAME TO THE LIST OF COMPLAINS WITH THE HOPE THAT HONDA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY. THANKS. *TR

CAR BRAKES SPONTANEOUSLY SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE LINE WAS CLOGGED. THEY CLEANED IT AND DID SOMETHING TO THE ROTORS, AND I HAD NO TROUBLE FOR A YEAR. THEN TODAY, 7/24/13, IT HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. IT WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE I WAS GOING ABOUT 45-50 AND THE BRAKES JUST SLAMMED ON ALL BY THEMSELVES! I AM TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW, BUT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN. *TR

ON A RECENT VACATION WE FIRST NOTICED ON MODERATE DOWNHILL GRADES WITH VERY MODERATE BRAKING WHEELS WOULD START TO SHIMMY WITH SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WITH A TOTAL RELEASE OF BRAKES, SHIMMY WOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP, AND NO WHEEL VIBRATIONS WOULD BE FELT. BRAKING ON FLAT AREAS OR IN CITY DRIVING NO VIBRATIONS ARE FELT, EVEN WITH FAIRLY HARD BRAKING. DURING OUR TRIP THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON ALMOST EVERY DOWNHILL GRADE MAKING THE CAR VERY HARD TO CONTROL. RETURNED FROM OUR TRIP AND DROVE MOSTLY ON ROADS WHERE WE DO NOT HAVE MANY DOWNHILL GRADES AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN, UNTIL RECENTLY WE TRAVELED ON AN INTERSTATE ROAD FROM A CITY APPROXIMATELY 50 FROM US THAT HAD SEVERAL DOWNHILL GRADES. ON EVERY SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE IF THE BRAKES WERE EVEN APPLIED VERY GENTLY, THE SHAKING AND STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE WOULD START IMMEDIATELY. BUT AGAIN WOULD NOT DO IT ON A LEVEL ROAD. THIS SHAKING AND VIBRATION MAKES THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW HAS ONLY 26333 MILES, AND HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY A HONDA DEALER. EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED FOR SERVICE EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK. THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN WORKED ON OR HAD ANY REPAIRS OF ANY SORT DONE ON THEM OR ANY RELATED PARTS. IT IS STILL IN COMPLETE FACTORY CONDITION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AND I KNOW THAT TAKING IT INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD SIMPLY TAKE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND DO NOTHING. THIS REALLY PARALLELS MANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LETTING THE CAR COAST (MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKES OR THE GAS PEDAL) THE CAR BRAKES WHEN ON BY THEM SELVES SUDDENLY. REDUCING THE SPEED FORM ROUGHLY 60MPH TO 30 MPH.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONG A WINDY ROAD WHEN MY HONDA VAN STARTED TO BRAKE ALL BY ITSELF. IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS OVER THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT PROBABLY HAD TO DO WITH ME BRAKING FREQUENTLY ON THE WINDY ROADS. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, I WAS TRAVELING IN TOWN, GOING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, I WAS GOING ABOUT 35-40 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED BRAKING ALL BY ITSELF. IT WAS 2012 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY HAD TO RESET A SENSOR THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE THEN, BUT HONESTLY, I THINK ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY, WONDERING IF IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN. I FELT EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE LOCKED UP OVER NIGHT AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE REAR WHEEL. THE ENTIRE BRAKES WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR EARLIER ON ALL 4 WHEELS SO THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A 1 YEAR OLD BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALER SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR THAT DID NOT LET GO OF THE REAR BRAKE AND IT INSTANTANEOUSLY DESTROYED THE REAR WHEEL BRAKE. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS VERY LOUD AS THE BRAKE DID NOT LET GO AND DESTROYED THE ONE YEAR OLD ROTOR. I RECALL READING ABOUT A RECALL FROM HONDA IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2013 (RIGHT AFTER MY INCIDENT) ON OTHER HONDA VEHICLES AND ALSO SOME ODYSSEY OVERSEAS BUT NOT IN USA. PLEASE LOG MY COMPLAINT AND LET ME KNOW OF THE NEXT STEPS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DEALER SERVICED AT ALL THE REQUIRED CHECKPOINTS. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 BRAKE RECALLS ON MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. DURING MY LAST VISIT TO A HONDA AUTO CENTER THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND UPON A "VISUAL" INSPECTION ADVISED ME THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE AT 3MM EACH WHICH IS SUFFICIENT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS WAS WRONG BECAUSE MY CAR MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKE PADS. I BELIEVE THAT THE 2 RECALLS FOR DIFFERENT BRAKE ISSUES HAVE COMPROMISED MY BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND PREMATURELY DETERIORATED MY BRAKES. I ALSO FEEL THAT IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO TELL SOMEONE THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE FINE WHEN THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT! *TR

DRIVING ON A CLEAR, DRY DAY AT 45-50 MPH, THE CAR SELF-BRAKES CAUSING WHIPLASH. UNPREDICTABLE WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 4 YEARS. HONDA DEALER REPLACED SENSOR LAST TIME ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT SO THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THEY STATED THEY CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. EVER. MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF COULD BE KILLED. *TR

THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AND WAS ASCENDING A HIGHWAY RAMP AT 20MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND DROVE 45 MILES TO MY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. IN FEBRUARY, 2012, I MADE A RIGHT TURN ASCENDING A HIGHWAY RAMP AT ABOUT 25MPH. THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I DROVE IT 100 MILES TO THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND LEFT IT THERE (IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT). NEITHER THE AGENCY WHERE I PURCHASED IT NOR THE HONDA AGENCY 60 MILES FROM MY HOME COULD FIND A PROBLEM. IN APRIL, 2012 THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN AFTER MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. I WAS GOING 20-25MPH. I PULLED OVER, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. AGAIN, NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN JUNE, 2012 AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. IN NOVEMBER, 2012 IT BRAKED AGAIN. I LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING AND CALLED THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY CAME AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SHOP (IT TRIED TO BRAKE 5 TIMES DURING THE 10 MILE DRIVE BUT DID NOT SUCCEED). A STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS REPLACED PER THE CODES. MARCH, 2013, 250 MILES FROM HOME IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND DROVE 250 MILES HOME. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A "HISTORY", BUT PILOTS AND ACURAS HAD A RECALL IN MARCH, 2013 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM? *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 76,000 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2012 WE HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MINUTES, EXITING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TO REACH 65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN WE REACHED APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH AND WERE STILL ACCELERATING THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS, LURCHING US FORWARD. WE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO PULL OVER. IT AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY BRAKED AS WE WERE SLOWING DOWN. WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE SLOWLY ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TO GET TO THE NEXT EXIT, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ONCE WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IN A SAFE PLACE WE TURNED OFF THE CAR. WE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY ONLY FOUND ONE CODE - THE STEERING SENSOR. THEY RE-CALIBRATED IT BUT WERE NOT CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH, APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WERE NOT GOING QUITE AS FAST AND IT DID NOT LURCH QUITE AS SEVERE. AFTER IT DID THIS THREE TIMES I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUSHED THE SWITCH TO TURN THE VSA OFF. IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NO CODES. THEY DROVE 17 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BOTH TIMES WERE APPROXIMATELY 30-40 DEGREES WITH SOME SNOW OR WETNESS ON THE GROUND FROM PRIOR PRECIPITATION. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SHOWS NO CODE AND THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INSTRUCTED DEALER TO DRIVE AGAIN AND TRY TO DUPLICATE. THEY DENY ANY OTHER INCIDENTS DOCUMENTED (DESPITE LISTINGS ON THIS WEBSITE THAT SAY THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE SAME PROBLEM.) *TR

TYPICAL HONDA ODYSSEY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. WE'VE HAD THIS BRAKE ISSUE SINCE NEW. MULTIPLE RECALLS, ADJUSTMENTS, ETC... HONDA FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. OUR VAN WAS WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID BRAKE PROBLEM. THE FIRST WRECKED HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2010. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSED A FRONT END COLLISION. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AGAIN, BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECOND WRECK OCCURRED. SAME REASON AS THE FIRST. THAT'S TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IN 1.5 YEAR TIME SPAN. EACH TIME THE DAMAGE EXCEEDED $10,000. BOTH ACCIDENTS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN FAST ENOUGH. OH, DID I FORGET TO MENTION THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED IN EITHER ACCIDENT. WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING AIRBAGS IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DEPLOY IN A MAJOR FRONT END COLLISION. THIS VEHICLE IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS. *TT
