The brakes on the vehicle feel squishy and soft, especially after the car has been driven for a while. For example, coming to a stop last wednesday at a red light, the brake pedal continued traveling until it almost touched the floor as the vehicle came to a stop. This is not the first time it has happened. I have adjusted my braking to account for longer travel of the pedal but this time it just seemed a little too…

I had enough distance to stop the car and was literally standing on the brake, but it just didn't stop till it crashed into the car in front of me. *tr

After 700mi the car was too dangerous to drive. Searching the net i found out there was a service bulletin for a…

(has not been in the mountains.) they machined the rotors and replaced brake pads. The rotors were wrapped to do excessive heat. We were also told that this is a heavy vehicle and that is just what the brakes do. After 10…

A car pulled out in front of my honda van from a side road. We were doing speed limit of 55 mph. I applied brakes with all of my effort and van did slow down but slowly and abs never came on. If other vehicle had not retreated back on the side road, i would have hit him as we had approaching traffic in the oncoming lane. *tr

On going intermittent grinding noise and diminished performance of brakes. Grinding noise very pronounced. Total mileage under 10,000 and very lightly used. Issue is shared by numerous other honda odyssey owners as indicated by nearly identical description of issue on many online-forum entries. This is of high concern for the safety of my family! Thank you. *tr

2007 honda odyssey brakes were spongy from day one. Inquired at the dealer and they said its normal 10k. I hate the brakes on the van since they do not stop when you want them too. Also having problems with rotors now which are warped i guess at 20k.the steering vibrates when braking. It should never happen to a newer car. All owners need to concern this problem with honda for an recall for safety and product…

I own a 2007 honda odyssey and have been having problems with my brakes for some time. They feel very soft and "spongy" when i step on them; my foot sinks all the way to the floor. There have been numerous instances where i have almost hit another vehicle because the brakes do not respond. The brakes also grind very hard and sound very loud when i come to a complete stop at the bottom of a hill. Also, when i try to…

My brake goes nearly to the floor when it is pressed hard. Normally at rest it is 5 inches from the floor and when i push it hard it goes all the way down to 2 inches from the floor. I brought it into my dealer and complained that there is something wrong. It was returned to me with a notation that it was test driven and the pedal travel is normal. The mechanic drove another odyssey and found it to be the same. Note…

I first noticed this a few weeks ago when i was waiting for traffic as i was entering the street from a parking lot. My foot was pressing down on the brake pedal but it was also not directly on the pedal. My foot was off to the right. As the pedal pressed down harder, the same braking foot was hitting the throttle pedal…

Shuddering steering wheel and brake pulsing starting at 18k miles. Dealer says the rotors are warped, though brake pads have over 75% life left. In all our years of driving we've never had rotors needing turning or repairing in less than 40k miles. This seems like a defect to me that honda will not take ownership for. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph attempting to make a right turn. When the brakes were depressed there was a metal to metal sound.

I have a honda odyssey 2009. The vehicle did not stop completely last winter approximately three times when it was completely braked. I was on a traffic light and helplessly saw my van moving towards the traffic light. Eventually it stopped. However, it scared me a lot. I went and complained to dealer and he said that there is no recall notice. This problem does not happen every time. I have another problem when i…

The brakes on our 07 honda odyssey were spongy from day one. The person driving the van noticed the pedal even getting lower the longer it got driven. At first you would be able to stop but as time went on the pedal would almost be at the floor to accomplish braking. We took to the dealer after another odyssey van we had was almost in a wreck because of the same problem. They replaced the brake modulator, said it…

Our 2007 honda odyssey experienced rear brake failure at 2,700 miles due to rust build-up on the rotors. They were replaced by the dealer. The rear rotors again failed at 17,820 miles and had to be resurfaced. We are concerned about the braking system and the potential for continued failure creating an unsafe condition. *tr

I was exiting the freeway and began stopping as i approached an already stopped vehicle. I began my stop early to make sure i had enough space to stop. The brake pedal on this vehicle has always felt soft/spongy. I depressed the brake pedal and the mini van slowed down but the pedal continued to go to the floor. The mini van has abs and so i continued to press harder. The pedal was all the way to the floor and the…
