Description of the problem | 2007 odyssey with soft brakes. The recall fix was done in summer 2010. About late november 2010 early december 2010, i noticed the brakes felt soft again. On 12/13/2010, i took car into honda dealership for a rotation/oil change and to check the brakes. Again, there was air in the brake line. The same problem again that the recall solution was supposed to fix. Supposedly it was fixed this time. I drove it home, about 6 miles, and parked it for about 5 minutes. My wife got in the vehicle and drove about 1 mile when she called saying the brakes were randomly going from really soft to her not being able to press the brake pedal an inch. She immediately parked the car and was scared to death. Ultimately, we had it towed back to the same honda dealership. Prior to the tow, the vsa light and vsa indicator stayed on and then went off. All this info was provided to "mike" at the honda dealership... Immediately... And i mean immediately... Honda agreed to pay the tow, fix the problem and provide me a rental. The car is to be fixed on 12/14/2010. This is not good. Honda corporate..... Are you listening.... You have a serious problem... You know it.... Fix it before you end up in court paying millions in miserable comfort to relatives of lost loved ones... By the way my wife and kids are in that vehicle everyday... Get my point? |
