Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the highway and going 60mph or higher, the steering wheel shakes a lot when I start to brake and I have to pump my brakes rather than a slow gradual depression of the pedal like one would normally do or else the van becomes unstable. This has been the case for over a year.”
NHTSA complaint #11129515, filed 2018-09, 60,000 miles“The steering wheel shakes when braking at highway speeds. This started at about 30,000 miles. I took the car to the dealer, and they immediately said I needed the brakes resurfaced before they even drove the car. This tells me they are aware of a recurring issue. At this point it was out of warranty at 38,000 miles because I had already purchased brand new tires thinking that was the problem. I had them align the tires that day, and the shaking did not go away. Honda needs to take responsibility and recall faulty brakes. They should not need costly repairs at this low mileage.”
NHTSA complaint #10936159, filed 2016-12, 38,000 miles“While braking at 50+MPH, the steering wheel starts to shake violently. The car currently has 58,000 miles on it. This has been occurring for over a year. We have had the tires rotated and balanced, the rotors and break pads are good. This is becoming a safety hazard and Honda needs to do something about this.”
NHTSA complaint #11207360, filed 2019-05, 58,000 miles“Vehicle shakes violently when applying brakes. Warped rotors time after time. Replacement last a few months. Way to many people are having this issue with this particular vehicle. Please look into this! I truly feel there is a design flaw.”
NHTSA complaint #11046312, filed 2017-11, 48,000 miles“American Honda motor company - manufacturers defect with the van's rear suspension, resulting in the van's alignments being uncorrectable since the date of purchase. American Honda has known about this alignment and suspension defect issue with the 2014 Honda Odyssey's and has chosen to hide the design defect from the public. Honda dealers know there is an issue but there are no authorize american Honda oem certified fixes to the problem. The Honda dealers defer, that there is nothing they can do until Honda issues a fix to the suspension/alignment issue. …”
