general problems of the 2012 Honda Odyssey - part 2

My car started to vibrate a little driving on the freeway and down hill aroung 18,000 miles. I drove it and finally at 22,000 miles I took it to a Honda dealer to check it out. The service advisor told me that the rotors were warped and that I needed a break job. I feel that the rotors are either not the proper size or thickness for the car. I've checked on line and many same car owners are seeing the same problems. I feel that the warrenty the should honor replacement or repair if the rotors are warping so quickly.

The front brake rotors are undersized and will warp with use causing vibration during braking. The homelink stays on even after the car is turned off with key removed causing thief to open your garage door when they break into the car and having access to homes because the homelink stays on constantly.

I bought a brand new '12 Odyssey exl-nav (5-speed automatic transmission) and from the day I picked it up, I noticed a shuddering when the transmission was at a shift point, especially from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. I am submitting this complaint because I see a registered compliant for Odyssey touring and touring elite models with 6-speed transmissions but not for the ex or exls with 5-speed transmission [NHTSA reference #10046880;TSB reference #sb-12-064]; however I have the same transmission issue. It has been in the shop at a Honda dealer twice now to resolve issue and last time they mentioned there had been a service bulletin issued for this issue and they uploaded a new software control module. However, I still have the issue and am concerned that this is a design-flaw issue that Honda may not be able to fix. Please expand the NHTSA issue to include the 5-speed transmissions as well and advise if there is anything I can do. Also, with the brand new vehicle, the rear brake rotors were warped and pulsed when breaking and had to be resurfaced within a month of delivery. That issue is now resolved.

Car vibrates and shakes when on highway and decelerating from about 65 mph to even just 50 mph, continuous problem.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle would shake when the vehicle would reach highway speeds or when depressing the brakes. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and it was determined that the rotors needed to be replaced. The rotors were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle still had not been repaired. The dealer stated that the failure was occurring because of the way the contact was driving the vehicle and it was not a fault of the vehicle itself. The failure mileage was 11,000 and the current mileage was 20,000.

We purchased a 2012 Honda Odyssey on February 18, 2012 from spreen Honda. We recieve 3 free oil changes and tire rotations. The first oil change did not include a tire rotation, but the service department stated that the brakes were in great shape. The 2nd oil change included a tire rotation. This was approx. In June of 2012. After the tire rotation, we experienced some shaking at higher speeds when we applied the brakes. Took the vehicle back to spreen Honda and jim, the service manager stated the rotors were warped and it was from 'the heat'. He resurfaced them for free under the warranty. In June of 2013, we had both front and rear brakes replaced. The rotors were resurfaced as part of the brake installation. We replaced all four tires in March of 2014. This was the 2nd set of new tires for this van. An oil change and tire rotation was done by firestone on 5/3/2014. We experienced shaking when applying brakes, especially down hill. Returned vehicle to firestone and talked to the manager. He did a brake inspection and stated the rotors were warped and they didn't have enough surface on them to resurface so they would need to be replaced. Looked over my records for the Toyota camry I traded in to see that there was not a history of missuse of brakes and the rotors were replaced after five years. Called Honda and spoke to their recall department who told me there were no recalls. Recieved another call from Honda who told me there was nothing he can do and noted the account. Told him that I am looking further into this matter and will take it from there. Called the service manager at spreen Honda and have yet to receive a call back regarding this matter.
