I was driving (in motion) on slippery, wet, but icy roads in town. I was only going about 20 mph. Twice, I had to stop slightly faster than I normally would have, but when I started tapping the brakes to slow down and stop, they felt like they locked up on me and it took awhile before I was able to have any "brake" feeling at all! the wheel walls, I noticed later have small space between tire and wheel wall, causing snow build-up, which may have caused a problem in the braking ability also. After this happened a couple more times throughout the week, my brake sensor light warning came on and has stayed on now. But, after I took my vehicle to the car wash and got all the ice out of the wheel wells, the brakes are working fine and smooth stopping, still icy conditions on the road. I think the wheel walls don't have enough room between the tires and wheel walls. In icy conditions, it seems to be putting dangerous pressure on my brake system, when in motion applying the brakes. I was driving straight on a road when all the above occurred.

I officially purchased a used 2011 Honda Odyssey from a local Honda dealership on October 5, 2016. Before I left with the new vehicle, the dealership service division replaced both the front and rear brake pads on the vehicle (see attached photos for service/repair invoice dated 10/4/2016). On October 7-8, 2016, I drove the car on a state highway in some mountainous areas both on a uphill and downhill slope at about 30-50 mph. I noticed that especially when driving on a downward slope, when I applied the brakes even slightly, the car began to perceptibly shudder. The greater the slope of the road, the greater the shuddering effect. I returned with the vehicle to the Honda dealership for another unrelated reason, but inquired about the shuddering and asked if during the dealership's safety inspections if any problems related to the brakes had been discovered, since the pads were brand new. The technician at the dealership informed me that the rotors had been warped due to excessive heat from braking. After I pressed him for more information, he told me that virtually every recently-produced Honda Odyssey (I. E. , models manufactured in the last 5-10 years) that he had seen come through the service division experienced a similar warping problem after nearly every 30,000-40,000 miles driven. In his opinion, the rotors installed in Honda Odysseys were actually much too small (I. E. , they did not have enough surface area) to be able to withstand the high amounts of heat caused by the large brakes required for the relatively larger model of vehicle (the van). He went as far as to tell me that he was accustomed to installing larger-than-recommended rotors in some of his customers' vans to try and avoid the problem. He said he wouldn't be surprised if a recall would be forthcoming on the rotors. I would like to request an investigation on these rotors to initiate such a recall.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Odyssey. The vehicle was repaired according to NHTSA campaign number: 04v176000 (power train), which experienced heat build-up between the counter shaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission. The vehicle began to move slowly when transitioning from second to third gears prior to the repair. Once the vehicle was repaired, the failure recurred and the vehicle began to jerk when in second gear when or while driving 22 mph or higher. The vehicle would also emmit a whining sound under the hood of the vehicle. The brake warning light, the pcs warning light, and the engine warning light illuminated. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed a second time and the vehicle would no longer receive a repair under the recall. The contact had the vehicle diagnosed by two certified mechanics who stated the transmission failed, causing malfunctions when in second gear. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

On i69e heading north at 65 mph after cresting an overpass hill, vehicle stopped in middle lane no brake lights lit, hit brake pedal to stop but the brakes never reacted as normal. Push the brake pedal as hard as I could but the tires never squealed on the dry payment. Unable to change lanes due to other traffic and ended up hitting stopped vehicle still going about 20mph. $2,700 damage to my Odyssey and other car had heavy rear damage.

On 09/07/14, was involved in a 4 car accident. Traveling westbound on route 60, near i605, light traffic at approx. 3:45 pm. # 1 lane was closing, due to fwy work/maintenance. Saw signs and proceeded to move from the #1 lane to the #2 lane, while in the #2 lane noticed the flashing arrow for the lane closure. I estimate I slowed to about 60 mph, since traffic was merging, car in front was approx. 6-7 cars lengths ahead, when I saw brake lights from the car ahead of me and they had come to a complete stop. Which appeared to be from an accident. I immediately applied the brakes hard to stop, but could not stop in time. Ended up hitting the vehicle in from lightly, maybe about 5-10 mph at time of impact. Based upon the distance from the car ahead, I should have been able to stop our vehicle. Did not feel like the anti-lock braking system was working, felt no pulsating or push back in the pedal and car appeared to skid/slide into the car ahead. I found a recall notice for the anti-lock brakes, which stated that air can enter the system and affect the vehicle braking system. Never received any recall notice from Honda about this and I believe the fautly brake system was a factor in our avoidable incident. Another car hit us from behind and the driver was injured very badly.

I got into the car with my children on Jan 3rd at about 11:30 am. As we were approaching the highway on-ramp, the car suddenly stopped (brake) for absolutely no reason while I had my foot on the gas! I made a u-turn to get away from the on-ramp and go home. The car was not driving right. The car slowed/stopped 2 more times. I was on my street, when the "brakes went out". I coasted into my driveway. Smoke began billowing out of front wheel wells. When I was turning off the ignition, the vsa light came on. I didn't know if the car was on fire, so I rushed my kids out of the car and called 911. The fire department arrived while the car was still smoking, hot, and smelling. I had car towed. The dealership called and was going to get Honda involved. They could not see any problems and couldn't duplicate the event. My service advisor said that the car was "drivable", but didn't feel comfortable letting me take it. I said that I didn't feel comfortable taking it because I can?t trust its safety. January 5- I have been doing a lot of research about a very recent recall on this exact problem. There is a problem with a yaw sensor telling the vsa system to engage while the car is accelerating without the brake lights turning on. Now it all makes sense! the only problem is that my car is not named in this recall. Only 2007-2008 Honda Odyssey owners were notified. I have a 2010. According to the documents, Honda does not have the parts to fix the problem, but will explain to owners what to do in case this sudden stopping occurs. I am dumbfounded! there is not a chance that my children and I will get into that car with "instructions" in the event this happens again. It seems that the problem is not contained to 2007-2008 models. It is quite obvious that Honda needs to expand its initial recall. I think they should be warned about this potentially deadly problem.

The vsa light has been on and off for about two weeks, but user manual says it is okay for "normal driving". When I was driving about 40-45 mph, the vsa lights was on. I kept driving normally. Then we I tried to apply brake to slow down, the brake light turned on. After I released the brake, the car seemed to applied brake on itself even harder. It happened many times during the past few weeks and this time I definitely felt it.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling 35 mph, the brakes engaged independently and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was moved to the shoulder. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several times after the initial failure. The manufacturer was contacted about the problem. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 29,000.

I just purchased a 2005 Honda Odyssey about a month ago, it currently has 500 miles on it. Last week, the abs, vsa, and brake light came on. I had it towed into the koons Honda dealership in manassas for repair. I was notified that the vsa control unit was bad, however they could not repair it because the part is on indefinite backorder from Honda. They stated that they had no idea if the part would take day, weeks, or months to get in. The did state that my car was 'safe' to drive, however it would not have abs, vsa, braking assist, or traction control until the vsa module is replaced. This does not reflect 'safe' in my eyes, especially given the weather we are supposed to have tomorrow. Could this not pose some type of liability issue for Honda if there was an accident that could have possibly been prevented if the safety features were active. I asked the dealership if there was any problems getting new Odysseys for sale and they said 'no', that they had a regular flow of them coming in. So Honda, obviously prioritizes that the vsa control units are first slated for new vehicles, and has not allocated enough for possible issues on sold vehicles. I have contact Honda through there 1-800 number and the case has been escalated to a call manager that I am waiting to hear from.
