| Parking Brake problems |
Brakes are too soft. Had accident twice already because brakes dont react like they are suppose to. You have to push the brake down really hard. With that also said transmission has been a problem since day 1. You hear a loud noise when you change gears. Went to the Honda dealer and they said its normal. I dont think this should be making loud grunting noise.
We bought the 2008 Honda Odyssey new and immediately noticed a metallic scraping sound when decelerating with foot on the brake pedal. It is more pronounced in the rear seat. We had the Honda service shop check it,and they told us that it was normal. Also,when braking,there is quite a bit of travel to the brake pedal,and a spongy feel to the pedal,making the driver feel that the vehicle is not going to stop in time. Again the Honda service people said that was normal. . I feel that it takes excess pressure to apply the brakes. I'd like to know if this complaint has been reported before.
I have a Honda Odyssey 2008 and a major brake problem; the brakes have become so soft it would only stop if the pedal is pushed all the way to floor, which make it difficult to stop in case of emergency. I took the car to dealership numerous times and reported the issue but they have not fixed the problem yet. I have three toddlers and my wife drives the car. This is most hazardous situation I am facing and Honda negligence can cause us severe consequences.
