We purchased this vehicle brand new. Overall it has been excellent, but it does have one horrible safety flaw. The brakes heat up and warp on even a small hill and cause the steering to shake terribly when breaking. The dealer will fix the problem, for a premium of course, and you are good to go for several months. Then it comes right back. This is a known problem, and i'm really surprised that honda hasn't been…

My brakes vibrate when slowing down on the freeway, occasionally while driving on surface streets when slowing down for lights. I first noticed this several months after purchase. I took the van in asked for the brakes to be checked. The vibrating stopped for several weeks then started back up. I returned to the dealership and they checked the tires. It stopped again for several weeks then started back up again. I…

Original owner of 2013 honda odyssey, noticed significant steering wheel vibration at 35k miles while going down or at highway speeds while slowing down unexpectedly. It made me grab the steering wheel harder to try to steady the wheels so we don't drive off the cliff. I believe it poses a danger as it creates a situation where such steering wheel vibration and tires vibration can cause a dangerous situation in…

From reading forums and blogs on this particular odyssey year and experiencing first hand, i'm just in disbelief that honda won't recall this situation! The van only has 21000 miles on it (bought it certified) and i'm hoping that when i call honda they'll do the right thing for this is a safety issue in plain sight! Breaking when coming down a steep grade of highway and suddenly getting a violent shaking on the…

My odyssey is 19,600 miles. I'm experiencing vibrations in brake paddle, accelerator paddle and steering wheel when braking and while accelerating between 35-40 miles. Took this vehicle to service center, they wrap rotors. So, braking vibrations are gone, but accelerator vibration is on. Honda service center cannot resolve it as vibration is not heavy. This seems to be common problem with many honda odyssey owners.…

We purchased a 2013 honda odyssey exl 1 year ago (7/18/16). We immediately experienced excessive vibration of the steering wheel while driving, and also braking at highway speeds. The dealer replaced the front tires about 4 months out to correct the problem. I didn't work. We asked them to consider the rotors as the issue, but they were reluctant since they were just resurfaced them before we bought the vehicle.…

While reducing speed with brake, steering shaking badly. It happens especially when reducing speed by braking from highway speed like 5,60mph or higher. This feels me dangerous especially braking while not in straight road. Especially suddenly reaching to the end of traffic jam in curved road, hard to control driving along the curve with such steering shaking. This shake is that much bad. I researched online and…

Front end began to shake on braking, more noticeable at higher speeds and going downhill, very dangerous condition, dealer said it was warped brake rotors and the alignment was off, rotors were ground car was aligned to fix problem even though it was almost new and one of the more expensive models, after 12000 more miles the same problems have reoccurred , again no sympathy from the dealer, he blamed it on normal…

We bought this vehicle brand new - single owner car equiped with genuine honda parts. The front rotors quickly and prematurely ware down causing severe braking and steering issues, mainly hard vibrations of the steering wheel and it feels like the whole car shakes and you could easily lose control if not having both hands on the steering wheel. The problem usually occurs or is most noticeable during longer road…

I have a 2013 ex-l with 18k miles, started noticing slight vibration when braking from approx 50 mph in the steering wheel. I live in florida and thought nothing of it more than an annoyance. This past 4th of july went to nc when driving about 45 mph while going down a hill and applying brakes the vibration became terrible, the vibration became a safety issue as the whole van would rattle and shake. Took notice of…

I have owned six honda odyssey's and the last three starting with the 2007 model all needed to have a new power steering pump because it starts to whine and not pump well. Previous models have all failed under warranty. I currently have a 2013 odyssey that has 41000 miles on it and once again the pump started e steering has given out twice in the last week. It is random and without warning all of a sudden i can't…

The car pulls to left at speeds above 60 mph and get worse the higher the speed. I am familiar with honda odyssey as i have owned this one since 2003 and it has 180000 miles. This new one drives fine in town and at speeds 60 or below. I have taken it back to dealer and they did re alignment and lowered tire pressure to 30 psi but i like to run at least 35 psi. Can you let me know if anyone else has had a similar…
