Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2006 Honda Odyssey

Bought vehicle used & noticed a soft pedal from the go! saw where master cylinder was rebuilt & front pads put on before my purchase. Took to Honda to get serviced on 7/18/2012 at 118,647 miles & told them it still felt a little soft with the pedal going lower than normal. They checked it out in service & put new rotors & pads on the rear. We took it on a trip to florida & the brakes felt good. Seems better now however it's beginning to feel a little soft again but appears to be braking ok. I told [xxx] in service at Honda & I told him I will keep an eye on it to see if there are any differences in the oncoming miles. He said ok.

Just purchased a used 2006 Honda Odyssey ex on 8/14/08 which had passed safety inspection as required by state of missouri on 8/13/08. The brakes feel very soft and even on a normal straight road, it requires a lot more travel and pressure to be applied before it will come to a stop. Just today on 8/16/2008, was in a near accident along olive blvd and fee road due to the brake travel was more than necessary. Will be traveling out of country on 8/19/08 for 10 business days. Once back, will seek out huey's Honda advise. But from what see from consumers report, edmunds, odyclub, etc, there seems to be an issue with the abs modulator unit and/or master cylinder, I wonder what no recall has yet to be done on these vehicles. Very disappointing especially if the aftermath would be an accident.
