We took the vehicle to the dealer and were told nothing was wrong. The issue continued to get worse and we returned again at 20,000 miles. At that point we were told the rotors were warped but it is an "annoyance" and not a safety…

I believe all honda odyssey's have this same problem. Honda says the front rotors only have a 12,000 mile warranty, since it is a wear item, i am responsible for…
