I bought 2009 Honda Odyssey, but in 3 months, whenever I push brake on the down hill road, the brake will have very big noise and can not stop the car right away. I send to Honda dealer for repair, they told me that 2009 Odyssey has this kind of issue and can not be fixed, it is designed issue, so I hope you can do further investigation.

2007 Honda Odyssey. Rear brake cables flex while turning causing loud audible sound from rear of vehicle. Honda at first claimed this is normal, but also stated there is no known correction for the issue at this time. Obviously a design defect for Honda has not figured out a way to fix. Cable brake issue would and does, cause me great concern especially if there is no known fix.

Issues with power steering. When driving long distances a loud noise will start emitting from power steering. This has happened on multiple occasions over last five years. Have taken my Honda to at least two dealerships about problem. Never diagnosed until recently. Was told that power steering pump is defective. Honda states no longer under warranty. Very expensive repair. Dealership will not help with cost. Contacted Honda corporate customer service and was offered no help with cost of repair. Will no longer drive my Honda any long distances. Also have had brake and parking brake issues with this car over past five years.

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.

American Honda motor CO. , inc. Honda automobile customer service 1919 torrance boulevard mail stop: 500 - 2n - 7d torrance, CA 90501-2746 claim number: n012003-081100497 dear Honda, we are writing to you in order to put you on notice of a potential vehicle defect with my new 2003 Honda Odyssey, VIN: 5fnrl18033b104657. After having the vehicle just 6 weeks the vehicle experienced the following problems: 1. Brakes began to get softer and would not engage till almost to the floor 2. While waiting at a signal the car engine appears to be revving up and shaking 3. Rattling noise emanating from the muffler linkage 4. Low fuel warning light comes on when gage is still at â¼ tank. Of grave concern is an incident that occurred last Friday, August 8, 2003 while my wife was taking my son to celebrate his 6th birthday at summer camp. This is what happened: after making a turn on a steep hill my wife proceeded down the hill. While going down the hill the brakes completely failed to operate and the following lights illuminate on the dash , battery, oil, door open warning lights. The engine was still on and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. We were very fortunate that there was no accident, the vehicle was not going fast and we were able to bring the vehicle to a stop. My wife was extremely frightened and upset by the incident. She was almost in a very serious accident! we had the vehicle towed to beaverton Honda who advises us thus far they could not duplicate the problems. You can surely understand our concerns with this vehicle, especially if there appears to be nothing wrong with it. We would like Honda of America to take the following steps to protect our family and it's brand: 1. Provide us with a loaner Odyssey until& (2) 2. Exchange our Odyssey with the same exact vehicle from a different factory or fully refund our purchase.
