Description of the problem | I was trying to trying to stop my 2007 honda odyssey very quickly to avoid hitting the car in front of me and hit the brakes only to have nothing happen. The car wouldn't stop until it hit the car in front - the pedal was to the floor. I had previously talked with honda about the brake pads and researched online and discovered "squishy" brake problems, but no solutions. After the accident i talked with honda who was just releasing a safety recall for low/soft brake pedal : "air may enter the modulator due to improper sealing material of the vsa modulator control unit". They bled brakes using special procedure and installed (2) modulator sealing caps over the two (2) plugs on the sides of the vsa modulator-control unit to correct per bulletin 1030a5 (element) . 6 & 4130a5 (odyssey) . 7. |
