January 5th, 2009 i was involved in an accident that i believe was directly linked to the brake issue with my 2007 honda odyssey. I have previously reported the "soft and mushy" brakes to this site and to the local honda dealer multiple times. On the evening of the accident, i should have had plenty of time to stop after the panic stop of a car in front of me, due to another turning driver. However, the brakes went…

Rear brakes make constant grinding/squeaking. Known problem to honda for all 2005-2008 models of odyssey van. Honda claims there is no fix, but they're aware of the issue. With the brakes making noise all the time, it makes it difficult for consumers to determine if there's actually a problem, which may lead to people ignoring actual brake issues. I own a 2007, and personally know of people with 2005 and 2006 models…

While pulling into a parking spot with a very slight downhill grade i applied the brakes, which seemed to have little effect on stopping the vehicle completely. I pushed very hard onto the brake pedal and was able to get the vehicle stopped before hitting the suv parked in front of me. Only then did i hear that the motor was revved up. Upon releasing the brakes the motor returned back to idle. I, at that point,…

2007 honda odyssey lx brakes do not stop vehicle quickly enough. Dangerous. My wife coasted through an intersection while applying all the pressure she could to brakes. Has been to dealer and they say honda denies there is a problem. I have read online that this vehicle has brake problems due to abs and master cylinder issues, and also due to poor stock brake pads. But honda apparently denies any issues. This…

My odyssey has 6000 miles on this only and i bring it back three times already. I truly feel the braking system is not safe even after the third time. The deal did replace some moduals on the anti locking system. But the odyssey brake…

My honda odyssey 2007 has very soft brakes. The dealer first said it was normal but on the second visit is keeping the car to bleed the brakes. The pedal goes almost to the floor at times and the car takes almost 200 feet to fully stop at times. *tr

2007 honda odyssey minivan. Brake pedal began going all the way to the floor after 10,000 miles. Dealer has replaced the master cylinder and module (twice), as well as bleeding the lines over 4 attempts to fix. Now they are beginning to explain that this is normal behavior, even though the change was sudden and dramatic and the vehicle is obviously unsafe to drive. *tr

Brakes that are very soft and a hazard to driving. Brake rotors that need resurfacing at 300 miles and 15,000 miles. Dealer refuses to acknowledge that all of the odyssey's have a problem with soft brakes and rotors that wear out too fast. *tr

1. At 60 mph on dry surface hwy, had to stop in 200'. Applying normal pressure to brake pedal, i realized the car would not stop in time, so gradually applied more pressure, which was insufficient to stop until half way through the intersection. Traffic was not a factor. I applied more than enough pressure to stop and the car did not. It is my wife's car, and i'm very worried, not knowing if this is an isolated…

Brakes with soft pedal and front noise. Problem was first taken to the dealership on 02-02-08. Through research from contacts at honda i found out that they are having a problem with a proportioning valve or abs modulator. The flaw is allowing air to get into the brake lines causing soft pedal and decreased performance. It appears that most of the air in the lines is affecting the rear brakes performance. I'm…

I bought my odyssey 2007 in nov. 2007, and it has always had a very soft pedal, meaning, you have to push the pedal far down before you even begin to stop. When i have to stop suddenly, i have to push it all the way to the floor. I live in a small town so i just don't drive close to anyone and stay away from city driving because i do not trust my brakes to stop short. It occurs every time i have to stop suddenly. If…
