My van has soft brakes. I am the second owner. From online, i found that there are many customers with the same issue. When i checked with the dealer, they said it is quite normal for odyssey. When i checked with honda customer care, they aid there was a recall and they fixed it and since i am not the original owner, they cannot do anything.

Persistent problems with the brake system since the 2010 vsa/abs modulator recall. They system continues to have a soft pedal which requires pumpung the pedal to get effective braking, resulting in extended stop distances. The system requires periodic bleeding of the brakes despite repeated assurances from honda dealers that the system is/was fixed correctly under the recall. The vsa modulator has now failed and…

Was driving about 55 miles per hour and my car started barking without me pressing the brakes. I pulled over and started again. It happened three times within a ten minute period. Apparently there was a recall on the vsa but honda failed to notify me. I was almost hit the first time it happened.

I assumed the vehicle was low on fluids so with every oil change (at the honda dealership) , i insisted the power steering fluid be filled. The…
