    Based on my research, there are many other complaints by honda owners of premature brake rotor wear and/or warping. This causes the steering wheel to shimmy or vibrate when applying breaks during high speeds especially on the freeway. I bought my odyssey brand new and my dealer said i only have 20% wear on my brake pads. But the rotor apparently requires resurfacing or replacement to fix the vibration. For the rotor…

    Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the brakes were wearing at a very low mileage. A grinding noise could be heard when the brakes were applied at any speed, so the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. Approximately two years later, all of the brakes and rotors were replaced. The failure mileage was 26,000.

    We have an ongoing issue with violent brake vibration at highway speeds. Earlier this year when the van had approx. 15,000 miles we started experiencing the vibration. When we brought it to the dealer around 18,000 miles and pointed the problem out and they said the rotors were warped and we need to have them turned and we did. Well here we are at 23,000 miles and the brake vibration is back with a vengeance. We are…

The dealer has refused responsibility for the repairs stating that something must have caused the rotor to fail, and they could not determine why it failed. The broken rotor also caused damage to the wheel which i must pay for because…
