    We purchased a new 2006 honda odyssey sometime in early 2007. On march 12, 2010 we had to resurface the rotors of our brakes for the 3rd time because of warped brake rotors. Right now the odyssey has approximately 70,000 miles on it. So basically, we have had to resurface our brakes rotors on average every 23,000 miles. Before we do each resurfacing, the entire steering column would shake and shudder with braking…

    I have a 2006 honda odyssey and the brakes are terrible. The brake pedal is soft and sometimes goes to the floor. The brakes also make a grinding noise when applied. I had the brakes inspected but the pads were fine. I have been informed that this is a common problem with odysseys. *tr

    My 2006 honda odyssey has a soft spongy brake pedal, often going lower than the accelerator while braking, allowing the brake and accelerator to be depressed at the same time, making it difficult to brake while the engine is racing. This problem causes the odyssey to lurch forward, and could quite easily cause an accident. My dealer refuses to acknowledge the problem. *tr

    Tried to stop at an intersection with a stop going 25 miles early on. The car would not stop on time and brake will terminate it distance before the actual car stopped. It has soft brakes from the beginning but now it is getting worse and the brake do not work properly. We were lucky because no other car were around as we stopped 10 feet in the intersection. Is there any recall for sponge brakes for odyssey 2006? *tr

    My wife purchased a new vehicle and took possession of our 2006 honda odyssey van. I immediately noted a very soft brake pedal. When pressure is applied, the pedal goes all the way to the floorboard while stopped at a stop sign or traffic light. The vehicle has not rolled forward while the brake was set but i feel it may if it sat long enough with the brake pedal depressed. No repair has been attempted as i'm not…

    2006 odyssey has warped brake rotors, but the original brake pads are still in good shape. According to dealership; this is "very normal" for odyssey even for 1 or 2 year old van. My rotors needs to be replaced because they are warped, not due to wear and tear (becoming too thin). This is more like a manufacture defect parts than normal wear and tear problem. *js
