2006 Odyssey with 55,000 mi was taken to dealer for power brake module replacement recall campaign. When vehicle was returned, brakes were mushy and soft. Additional stopping distance was required to stop van safely. Dangerous braking condition existed. Can not believe dealer returned vehicle in this dangerous condition! when van was returned to dealer they said van had been road tested prior to customer pick up and that it was fine then. Not possible! no service technician would release a vehicle in that dangerous condition if it had been road tested. Dealer corrected condition by bleeding brake lines at no cost to owner.
My wife purchased a new vehicle and took possession of our 2006 Honda Odyssey van. I immediately noted a very soft brake pedal. When pressure is applied, the pedal goes all the way to the floorboard while stopped at a stop sign or traffic light. The vehicle has not rolled forward while the brake was set but I feel it may if it sat long enough with the brake pedal depressed. No repair has been attempted as I'm not certain of the cause. Brake fluid is not low so I assume air has somehow gotten into the brake lines.
