“Traveling in motion at 40mph than a sudden acceleration of engine and speed. Very difficult to stop with brakes. Honda Odyssey was put on neutral than brakes were applied to stop vehicle. My vehicle was on a secondary rode at the time of sudden acceleration. We called aaa to pick up our Honda Odyssey and took it to our local mechanic for the rest of the day.”

NHTSA complaint #10850637, filed 2016-03, 130,000 miles

“I have had my vehicle into both a tires plus and zimbrick Honda (madison,wi) regarding what I would call a very soft brake pedal feel. Both service departments agreed that there was plenty of life on the rotors/pads. Both flushed the brake fluid. However the brake pedal still needs to be pressed 2/3 of the way down to stop the vehicle.”

“Vehicle was in motion on a local street, a car stopped short in front of me, I hit the car with my front left end, the driver air bag deployed, popped and the front passenger airbag deployed. I sustained burn injuries to my left forearm with permanent scarring.”

“I was pulling into a parking spot. I was approximately 3-4 feet from the curb in front of me. My foot was on the brake and I was slowing to a stop when the van suddenly accelerated extremely rapidly (and was not responsive to brake application ) and slammed into the curb in front of me, causing minor damage to the front end. I verified that the floor mats were not near the accelerator.”

“I drive my van with my family every day and at freeway speed. When I need to brake the van starts shaking and the pedal pulse is very scary. I took it to john eagle in houston, and they told me the pads still had 60% life left. If I can live with this until the van gets repairs on all the brakes, or replace everything . But Honda does not have warranty on the brakes . The van is new, not safe , and without warranty.”
