Honda Odyssey Service Brakes, Electric Safety Report | Feb 13, 2011
Reported on Feb 13, 2011
| MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY EX HAS 30,000 MILES AND HAS ONGOING BRAKE ISSUES. THE BRAKES ARE SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE VAN DOES NOT STOP UNLESS I PUMP THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES ALSO MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY AND WHEN GOING DOWNHILL:(FREEWAY OFF RAMPS). IT IS NOT THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE IS NO PULSATING FEELING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VAN DOES NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE THIS GRINDING SOUND. MY HONDA DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND THEY SAY NO ISSUES . THEY SAY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. THEY WERE CHECK AT EVERY OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE SAME SOFT BRAKES ISSUES WITH MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE DEALER ALSO SAID NO PROBLEMS BUT THERE WAS A RECALL WITH SOFT BRAKES PROBLEMS. I'M WORRIED WHEN I HAVE TO GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN AND COME BACK DOWN THE HILL. THERE HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW TO HAVE OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR BRAKES. *TR | |
