    Driving the car the brake pedal gets very soft and the vehicle fails to stop in a normal time. This car was already serviced for honda's 2010 soft brake repair on the 2007-08 odyssey. It seems the symptoms of the original recall are still evident as this recall relates to air in the brake line over time. *tr

    My brakes on my honda odyssey 2007 van failed last week. The van has only 13k miles on it. The honda dealership (capitol honda, san jose, ca) told me that the power booster on the brakes was defective. They said it was very rare. Last month, i received a recall notice to have the van serviced to prevent a brake problem called "soft brake." i took it in and several weeks later, the brakes seemed to give way while i…

    I have a 2007 honda odyssey. A vibration in the steering wheel when braking lightly at low speeds. Took it to the dealership and they said the rotors were warped. There has to be defect in the brakes causing the rotors to warp as the vehicle only had 28k miles and the pads had more than 50% left. I researched online and looks like several people have had similar issues. *tr

Condition of the brake pedal approaching the floor board during the inital application mainat stop lights and when approaching another vehicle has been evident for probably for a year. The pedal height increases with repeated pedal applications but after a short period the loss of correct brake application for the stop needed required is again repeated by the excess drop of brake…

    I have a honda 2007 odyssey and the all four brake rotors need to be changed, and i have been the only owner of the vehicle i have had the van since nov. 20/2006 i always drive the van every where how can this be to a new van? I was quoted a price of 1200$ to fix. This may be a safety problem but not sure how much of one, but when stopping is concerned it is serious. *tr

    When braking, the vehicle's brake pedal travels unusually farther to the floor than normal, and leads to improper and extraordinary braking techniques necessary to safely execute a stop. Putting this vehicle into the hands of a minimally experienced young driver could result in unexpected vehicle performance and loss of control. This is by no means "standard" or "normal" as my local honda dealer says it is. This is…

    My 2007 honda odyssey has twice had the following problem. Both times it was in conditions where the anti-lock brakes were (presumably) engaged: once coming to stop on a very wet street in rain, and the second on a very snowy, poor traction street. Both times i was braking harder than usual while decelerating to come up to a stop sign/light and the abs engaged. The initial slowing was fine, no slipping, but as i…

    Brake pedal in 07 honda odyssey bought new (i am the first owner) is getting progressively worse. The brake function is still okay but there is a lot of "play" of the pedal before the brakes engage and this has been getting worse over time. There have been no accidents nor incidents so far but as a cautious driver i know that this problem is escalating. *cw

    2007 odyssey lx had been driven for 40 minutes when we came to a red light and braked as normal. The vehicle did not stop until halfway through the intersection. Fortunately, there was no accident. This vehicle has had soft brakes for a while so i have adjusted my braking, giving it a long run to stop, but this time even that wasn't enough. The honda dealer told us that the braking system is working fine! *tr

    Brakes feel squishy for late model car, seems to get worse. Haven't had a crash, but read recently announced engineering probe related to this issue and thought i'd chime in. Honda's stance on this, from the docs posted in conjunction w/ the launch of the engineering probe, seems to be basically after a couple years the brakes will not engage (pedal will hit floor before engaging), but hopefully before this the user…
