“Break paddle some time not working it goes to the floor when use brake I have read that a lot of 2008 Honda Odyssey have a brake pedal that goes to the floor and my brake pedal does the same. I had to drive very slow so the car will stop, pedal goes to floor before slowly stopping.”
NHTSA complaint #11205941, filed 2019-05, 153,144 miles“The lift gate struts quit working and the lift gate kept falling on my head every time I opened it. I know that the struts are a recall item for the 2008 Honda Odyssey, but my particular VIN was not included in the recall. Perhaps it should be.”
