Faulty vsa modulator / abs pump. The vsa indicator light stays on and diag check by dealer shows error codes 76-1 and 66-1. The advise is to replace the modulator. This equipment is already proven faulty in similar honda models (odyssey 2007-2008) and recalled. Honda odyssey 2005 also needs to be recalled. Customers should not be forced to spend a couple of thousand dollars for this. *js

Come on honda .... Enough is enough. I live in a hilly town. All winter long, no problem with brakes. As soon as it gets warm and i braking when coming down a hill (even a very gentle slope), the front brakes make the most horrific grinding noise. I've been told over and over by people at stop lights, that i really need to get my brakes fixed (but honda continues to say the brakes are in great shape). Multiple…

The odyssey vsa light went on in august 2010. When i took my vehicle to the brighton honda dealership in mi, they said i needed to have my vsa modulator assembly replaced for the price of $1257.44. I was told by a mechanical engineer that this should not have occurred at this low mileage. I contacted honda automobile division in torrance, ca last month. I was told that since my car was no longer under warranty they…

I have a 2005 honda odyssey which has had the same reported stopping issue as reported by newer models. The article describes the pending recall for 2007-2008 honda odysseys, and it described the exact problem i am having with my 2005 odyssey with only 45,000 miles. When the breaks are heated from full load or multiple stops we have to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor to get it to stop. Once the pedal…

1. During a routine service on 12/22/2009 the dealer tech / mechanic advised that both front and rear brake rotors on my 2005 honda odyssey were rust pitted and needed to be replaced. This is clearly a defect on a relatively new car since i own a 10 year old 2001 honda accord which has not had any such problem so far - under same driving conditions. 2. This is a safety defect and will require a expensive fix…

At least several times my wife and i have been scared with the performance of my brakes on honda odyssey 2005. There is no recall, so nothing i can do. When going down the hill and stopping at the stop sign (pushing the brake pedal), brakes seem to grab at first and then let go for about a second for some unknown reason. After this brakes grab again and seem to work just fine, as though nothing happened. This really…

2005 honda odyssey touring has soft brakes at low mileage and rotors had to be replaced at 25,000 miles since they were rusted out, even though brakes had been serviced by honda at all prescribed service intervals. Honda replaced all 4 rotors and pads at my cost, claiming that this wear was not abnormal and would not have been covered even if the vehicle was still under original 3-year warranty. My concern (which i…

Purchased a brand new honda odyssey 2005 ex-l from fremont honda in 2005. Just after two years when the brakes are hot and are applied sharply e.g. When coming down a hill they make a loud grinding sound. Sound seems to come from the front brakes. I took the vehicle to capitol honda for a regular oil service and the technician stated the sound is normal, it is the abs kicking in. This is not the case, as i fear the…

When turning into a parking spot or a slow turn on the road way i get a loud noise like the brakes are bad. The vehicle has only 39,000 miles on it and honda needs to correct this wear problem. These seem to be a use of poor material in the manufacturing of what is a very important part of a vehicle and that is the brakes. It seem like this is a failure waiting to happen and could cause an accident if honda does not…

There are times when i press the brake pedal and the car surges forward. This has happened at least 5 times in the last two weeks. I took it into mahwah honda and they checked the car and the error codes and found no problem.. It feels as though the accelerator was being pressed. Both my wife and i experienced this problem at different times when we were driving and coming to a stop. *tr

Shimmy in front end when applying brakes on downhill. Honda advised: caused by brake wearing. Honda replaced front brakes and resurfaced rotors , 32,310 miles. Now, 14,000 miles later, shimmy occurring on downhills when applying brakes. This is very unsafe especially to older or inexperienced drivers. I have been driving for over 55 years; i'm 74 years old...and i do know cars and engines, and have not had a vehicle…

Van always has a grinding noise when you put the brakes on hard. It appears to be only on the front. When it was brought to the attention of the dealer, the tech rode with us to hear the noise and replaced the rotors & resurfaced the discs based on the honda tech line. The tech indicated that it is a problem with the honda vans, as the front of the van is too heavy for the brakes that are provided by honda. In less…

Update to case #10155801: since vehicle had been sitting for over two months and honda did not want to face that vehicle has safety issues - i decided to have vehicle towed to the other shop in town for a second opinion. I dropped vehicle off to have brakes done w/ other warranty issues and 9 day later i picked up vehicle and they installed the 1st design brake pads. The ones we had grinding, pulsating, loss of…

Most recent on 1/7/2006 while backing out of garage brakes were applied and complete failure. Pumped 2 or 3 times and brakes worked. This has happened about 5 other times, always at a slow speed, usually while approaching a turn, twice while pulling up to our driveway. Pumping brake several times brings full braking power back. Took vehicle to dealership where vehicle was purchased and they were unable to duplicate…
