2012 Honda Odyssey Brakes Problems

“Problem with front brakes. While traveling on vacation driving down a long incline while applying brakes to stay in the speed limit my front end started shaken so bad I had to pull over. While home I search this on the web to show I'm not the only one with this probelm. Rotors get warped. This is dangerous and scary. This car needs a saftety recall. 22,000 thousand miles. A $30,000 van.”

“Takata recall I am driving and when I have to brake at a turn, the brakes don't want to work. I was pressing way down, almost pushing at the floor then they take a grab. That's ridiculous. I drive on a road where views near turns are not visible at all. Someone drives out and you have to brake in a second, and brakes don't want to grab. With four kids, you are putting everyone in danger between life and death.”

“My wife's 2012 Odyssey touring was parked on the ramp to our garage, with the emergency brake on. I released the brake and applied slight pressure to the accelerator with the car in reverse gear: it lurched backward and the brake could not stop it, though a neighbor's garage did. When I drove it forward to park it the car sped forward thirty feet or so before it obeyed the brake. The garage will need a new door -- at least -- but the car suffered minor damage, except that the taillights will not go off.”

“After 12k miles my vehicles brakes were completely warped despite no brake abuse or abnormal driving. High speed stopped is affected by lack of stability. Reviewing numerous publications, online publications etc I have found that this particular model car has extremely high rates of severe brake warpage with normal use. The manufacturer is aware of the problem but has not changed their brake design or material to counter act the issue.”

“1. Brakes and rotors are undersized and warped causing a massive vibration when you break. Honda dealers worked 3 times on it but the problem continued until I purchased after market parts and replaced them. 2. I received no warranty letter or warning about an engine failure (piston recall warning) letting me know that the engine needed repairs. I was on a trip when the car almost stalled on the freeway and I had to take evasive actions to prevent a devastating accident.”
