When braking the vehicle shakes and the brakes vibrate to the point that the vehicle feels unsafe. This has been a continual problem. Brakes have been inspected and we are told that the rotors are warped and need to be replaced. This has been done three times and now, at 96,000 miles we are being told that the brakes/rotors need to be redone again. I wrote to honda in 2017 and never received a reply. The honda…

Today, at honda dealership, was informed that the reason our vehicle shakes and vibrates roughly at high speeds (when braking) is due to warped rotors. Was told honda has discontinued making those rotors and would need them replaced with new rotors that have been made larger. Known issue, but not covered, cost approx $800 total with new pads, etc. Very frustrated that a part has been discontinued and deemed unsafe t…

Putting brakes on at high speed, like at interstate speed, vehicle and steering wheel will shake, and vibrate excessively. Warp front brake rotors. Vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it, but has been doing it since about 30,0000 miles. Usually not a problem since most of my driving is in the city, but when using the interstate it is scary if you have to make an emergency stop. Feels like you can loose control.

My 2011 honda odyssey has recently started to exhibit extreme steering and wheel wobble when braking. It started to wobble initially at speed. Now it wobbles at almost any reasonable speed. Honda does not seem to have any recall information about this. At speeds it is severe enough to warrant a loss of control specially driving downhill on curves. It is very hard to keep control of the vehicle.

Severe vibration while braking at any speed above 45 mph. I'm reporing this problem may 2015, however i have noticed this going on for about 2 year and didn't know what it could be, thought it was road conditions. Since i don't drive freeways very often (very low miles on my 2011 honda odyssey) i didn't give it much thought, however now that i'm driving more frequently at higher speeds on various roads, there is…

This vehicle has issues with excessive wheel vibration when braking at high speeds attributable to premature failure or warping of the brake rotors. I have nearly 60,000 miles on my van and have had to replace and/or turn my brake rotors about every 10,0000 to 15,000 miles. When the condition occurs, it seems to progress rapidly to the point of becoming dangerous when trying to stop at high speeds. The steering…

Satisfactory performance of braking was restored but at 60,000 miles problem began to reoccur . I intend to replace rotors and pads with quality material (non honda parts) to correct the problem. I'm greatly disappointed with honda and their poor…

Subsequently the brakes started working again. The dealership on inspection…

When using brakes to decelerate from speeds over 45 mph, the steering wheel begins to vibrate and shake. An initial call to the dealer said that due to excessive heat and wear, the rotors may be warped and was told to bring it in to get rotors resurfaced. I asked whether this was common at about 16000 miles. Dealer told me that shouldn't be the case until around 45,000-75,000 miles. My wife drives the vehicle under…

The vehicle shakes quite a bit when braking from highway speeds, such as when entering an interstate highway offramp. Apparently this is caused by prematurely warping brake rotors.

When i brake driving 40mph or more, the car and the steering wheel will shake and vibrate extremely violently. This started when there was only 30k miles on the car so i took it to a dealer in tn and they said they didn't find a problem. Then at 42k miles, i took it to another dealer in va and the front rotors and pads were replaced. However, this did not fix the problem. Now the car has 70k miles and the shaking…
