The car seems to brake very suddenly by about 20 miles per hour. This happens without touching the brakes. This is the 10th time it has happened on the car since 2009. *tr

While driving on the highway letting the car coast (my foot was not on the brakes or the gas pedal) the car brakes when on by them selves suddenly. Reducing the speed form roughly 60mph to 30 mph. I was nearly rear ended by the car behind me on the highway as there was no apparent for the car's sudden braking. This same thing happened on four occasions while driving home from work. *tr

I have had 2 brake recalls on my 2007 honda odyssey. During my last visit to a honda auto center they changed the brake master cylinder and upon a "visual" inspection advised me that my brake pads were at 3mm each which is sufficient. I know for a fact this was wrong because my car mechanic advised me that i needed new brake pads. I believe that the 2 recalls for different brake issues have compromised my brake…

Was driving at approximately 40 mph at a steady speed when the car suddenly slowed down as if the brakes had been hit hard. Only lasted for about 1 second. This recurred again within a few minutes, this time while accelerating. Hasn't happened again. *tr

On a recent vacation we first noticed on moderate downhill grades with very moderate braking wheels would start to shimmy with shaking of the steering wheel. With a total release of brakes, shimmy would immediately stop, and no wheel vibrations would be felt. Braking on flat areas or in city driving no vibrations are felt, even with fairly hard braking. During our trip this started happening on almost every downhill…

Driving on a clear, dry day at 45-50 mph, the car self-brakes causing whiplash. Unpredictable when this will happen. This has happened 3 times in 4 years. Honda dealer replaced sensor last time about 18 months ago. This time it happened they stated they could not replicate it so they could not help me. They stated they contacted honda and they have no record of this happening to anyone else. Ever. My children and…

The rear right brake locked up over night and destroyed the entire braking system on the rear wheel. The entire brakes were replaced approximately a year earlier on all 4 wheels so this incident happened on a 1 year old braking system. Dealer said it must have been caused by a defective sensor that did not let go of the rear brake and it instantaneously destroyed the rear wheel brake. The grinding sound was very…

We have a 2007 honda odyssey with 76,000 miles. In december 2012 we had been driving for approximately 3-4 minutes, exiting onto the highway and accelerating to reach 65 miles per hour. When we reached approximately 55-60 mph and were still accelerating the car spontaneously applied the brakes for approximately 3 seconds, lurching us forward. We stopped accelerating and began to pull over. It again spontaneously…

The brakes pedal is very spongy. You have to press quite hard to get the car to stop. Vsa modulator seal recall work has been done already and there are new brake pads on the van. I have replaced brake fluid and bleed system multiple times. This car does not inspire braking performance. *tr

Car brakes spontaneously several times. The first time this happened, i took it to the honda dealership and they said the brake line was clogged. They cleaned it and did something to the rotors, and i had no trouble for a year. Then today, 7/24/13, it happened again several times on my way home. It was really scary because i was going about 45-50 and the brakes just slammed on all by themselves! I am taking it back…

When the incident first occurred the vibrating was not as severe. Now when i am going at over 50mph and i start braking, the car's steering wheel starts shaking violently. I did some research and found that the rotors are warped prematurely. Many other owners of the same car have the issue. I am afraid of getting into a car accident because of the steering wheel shaking so violently while i am driving. Its a very…

I was just entering highway via ramp and accelerating to merge. As soon as the speed hit approximately 55mph, it suddenly put the brake and dropped the speed to about 40mph. Every time i tried to go beyond the speed, it suddenly put the brake. I could not get the speed to go beyond 55mph. It was very dangerous for me and also for the other drivers around me. I eventually pulled over and turned the key off to wait…

The brakes operated on their own as i made a left turn and was ascending a highway ramp at 20mph. I was able to pull to the shoulder and turned off the motor. I turned it on again and drove 45 miles to my home without further incident. In february, 2012, i made a right turn ascending a highway ramp at about 25mph. The brakes operated on their own. Again, i was able to pull to the shoulder, turned off the motor and…

I was traveling along a windy road when my honda van started to brake all by itself. It continued to do this over the next 30 minutes. I called my dealership. They said it probably had to do with me braking frequently on the windy roads. About 2 months later, i was traveling in town, going about 40 miles per hour, when it happened again. My foot was on the accelerator, i was going about 35-40 mph and the car started…

Typical honda odyssey soft brake pedal. We've had this brake issue since new. Multiple recalls, adjustments, etc... Honda for some reason can't figure out the problem. Our van was wrecked twice because of this stupid brake problem. The first wrecked happened in august 2010. The brake pedal went to the floor and caused a front end collision. I took it to honda again, but they said nothing was wrong with the brakes.…
