My brakes feel spongy and require me to apply extra pressure to stop. My brakes also make a groaning noise when i come to a regular stop. The dealership i took it to for repairs said they found nothing wrong, even though they heard the noise. I then drove an 08 off the lot to compare and noticed a world of difference in pedal feel and no groaning noise. They said they will call honda next week for advise. *tr

Brake pedal is soft/spongy and often requires pumping to get an adequate firm feel. When van was new, less that 1000 miles, i took to dealer and was told the brakes are normal. Was offered to drive another 2008 demo van which they said was normal. It also had a soft/spongy pedal. I think this is a design problem that should be corrected. *tr
