Honda Odyssey Service Brakes Safety Report | Feb 20, 2013
Reported on Feb 20, 2013
THE MINI VAN STARTED TO VIBRATE (THE STEERING WHEEL) WHEN I WAS BRAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH) AND DOWN HILL. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WAS BAD. THE DEALER RECOMMEND THAT A BRAKE JOB WAS NEEDED. THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND ANY BRAKING MATTERS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE UNTIL 50,000 MILES. I ASKED WHY THE ROTORS WENT BAD SO QUICKLY AND THE BOTH SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER AND THE CAR COMPANY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS HEAVY . I NEVER TOWED ANYTHING OR HAD NO MORE THAN 6 AVERAGE PASSENGER IN MY CAR. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THE HONDA DID NOT ADEQUATELY PUT IN THE RIGHT SIZE ROTORS. FURTHER MORE, AS AN ENGINEER, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT A NEW BRAKE JOB WILL DO TO CORRECT THE ROTORS FROM BEING WARPED IF HONDA INSTALLED AN UNDER RATED ROTOR SIZE OR THICKNESS. NOT SURE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR | |
