Brakes are too soft. Had accident twice already because brakes dont react like they are suppose to. You have to push the brake down really hard. With that also said transmission has been a problem since day 1. You hear a loud noise when you change gears. Went to the honda dealer and they said its normal. I dont think this should be making loud grunting noise. *tr

[redacted] van; brakes faded drastically, without warning, van stopped just before impact. Speed approx. 50mph, slightly downhill grade. Afterwards, brakes made a scrubbing noise. This went away after driving very cautiously home. This has occurred three times in 18 months. Dealer claims no knowledge which is a lie, it is all over the internet, same issue, and someone will die soon. I am a very cautious drive, most…

Coming down mountain and tried to stop at stop sign at bottom of mountain; brake went to floor; only source of stopping was the parking assisted brake which caused skidding. Every day driving the brake never responds until half way to the floor or lower. Took to dealership they test drove and did nothing further to check brakes. *tr

We purchased our 2008 odyssey on 7/5/08. After driving it a while we noticed the brakes appeared to be soft and spongy. When i finally took it in for service, i was told it needed a new master cylinder (at 2800 miles), which they replaced. After i picked it up, i drove it a few miles and the brakes still felt soft and spongy, so i drove back to the dealership. The service manager then drove the car and told me…

New 2008 honda odyssey with less than 200 miles, when the problem first occurred 1. Vibration in the steering wheel while braking. Happened every time when stopping at stop light or when slowing down. The honda service dept. Identified it to be a warped motor and they had to resurface it. They mentioned that this problem has been noticed in some other vehicles too, but they didn't know what caused the problem. 2.…

The brakes go to the floor, making it very dangerous, especially when going at the speed limit when the light changes. Several times i ended up in the intersection. The 08 odyssey is known for this problem. *tr
