Honda Odyssey Steering Safety Report | Feb 26, 2014
Reported on Feb 26, 2014
| THIS VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH EXCESSIVE WHEEL VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREMATURE FAILURE OR WARPING OF THE BRAKE ROTORS. I HAVE NEARLY 60,000 MILES ON MY VAN AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AND/OR TURN MY BRAKE ROTORS ABOUT EVERY 10,0000 TO 15,000 MILES. WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO PROGRESS RAPIDLY TO THE POINT OF BECOMING DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN STOPPING. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEARCHED FOR HONDA ODYSSEY PULSATING BRAKES AND GOT SEVERAL SITES LISTED. I ADDED MY COMPLAINT TO ONE OF THE SITES THAT HAD OVER 100 COMPLAINTS. HONDA SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED OR REPLACED AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY. IT IS EITHER A DEFECT OR BAD DESIGN OR BOTH. | |
