Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2013 Honda Odyssey

Pulsation/shaking of the steering wheel and brake pedal to the point of feeling like going to lose control of the vehicle when braking at speeds higher than 45 - 55 mph. Have had to have rotors resurfaced twice to take care of the problem (1st in 2015 at 24,177 miles but under warranty, 2nd in 2017 at $204 and the problem came back again at 51,542). Now being told to resurface them once more or replace front brakes and pads for $668 and if replaced will be with the new design of the rotors allows for more air flow. If there is a new design, then obviously Honda knows that there was a problem with the old design and should have done a recall. In researching the issues online (carscomplaints. Com, repairpal. Com) many other people seem to have the same complaint. I've never had to had rotors resurfaced so many times.

Before my car reached the 20,000 mile age the car starts to shake when hitting the brakes when decelerating at 50-30 mph speed. Asked the dealership if they can check what is wrong. They said the brakes are fine. I thought it was a wheel balance issue but the car is new. Not until I read all of the complaints about this car. Now my car is 57,000 miles old and will need the rotor and pads replaced. Outside mechanic charging me $450 for rotor replacement, pads and labor.

Steering wheel vibrating when hitting brake on highway. My car mileage is 36642. The Honda dealer said it's front rotors issue before checking. I guess it's common for this year model. I also got the 2nd opinion from the wheelworks shop and they said "the front rotors have heat rings", but the front brake pads both are "8mm"(green meaning good condition).

After repeated problems with car shaking when braking, rotors & pads had to be replaced at 40,500 miles. Had similar rotor problems years ago with and accord and a Honda station wagon. Never had problem with Chrysler town & country that I drove for 167,000 miles. Husband has never had this problem with several toyotas driven to high mileages. Honda has a serious problem with rotors. I love the Odyssey, but won't buy another Honda for this reason!.

2013 Honda Odyssey bought new in April 2013 from Honda of pasadena (CA). At approximately one year of age and 12,000 miles I experience a (somewhat violent) 'shimmy' in the steering wheel when braking at freeway speeds. Specifically, when required to brake quickly from 70/75 mph to 50/55 mph. At just over 15,000 and having come off a lengthy road trip where problem began to really scare us, we took the van to the dealer. They road tested it and got it on the rack and said the rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced ($223 vs. New of about $600). I asked the service writer about the need for resurfacing rotors at such low mileage (brakes pads over 9mm thick). I was told that it's common in Odysseys!! the repair is not covered under warranty (no brake or tire issues are covered by mfg warranty). After reading numerous websites about the issue, I am very concerned that I will have a recurring problem. Honda has issued recalls in older model Odyssey's (2006-2010). When will they fix this safety issue?.

1st service since new (7500 mi)oil, tire rotation. Immediately noticed shimmy upon braking. Returned to dealer after 2 months. Diagnosis: warped rotors. Turned. Problem solved. Questioned as to why, they stated water puddle, agressive driving, etc. No mention of a problem with the rotor heat dissipation. All was fine until recently, about 30,00 mi. Now same problem. Should this problem worsten, and it will, controling a vehicle on a long mountain hill will be disastrous. This is a known problem documented by numerous people on forums on the internet, as far back to at least 2006. Why hasn't this defect been addressed. I'm calling Honda America today, as if it will do any good. I have one Honda civic in my driveway now that has 136,000 mi. On it and the pads have never been replaced. Dealer said pads are good. 136,000 miles. Much less the brake rotors. No I'm not hard on the brakes as the dealer insinuated.
