Description of the problem | My wife and i own a 2007 honda odyssey, and have a consistent and perpetual brake problem. The brakes have always been really soft and go almost to the ground when braking. In addition, when applying the brakes, such as when pulling up to a stop sign, there is a very loud grinding noise. In my experience that grinding noise is a bad thing. However, according to my dealer, and we have taken the van in for brake service several times for them to fix this issue, this is normal for honda odysseys. Something to do with the material of the brake pads because the car is heavier. But this cannot possibly be normal, and the brakes should not take so long to engage. I have a very hard time getting this van to brake going down hills and am constantly afraid that they will not engage in time for me to stop before hitting the car in front of me. I am concerned for the safety of my family, and am extremely concerned that honda has taken no action to correct this issue, especially considering that all of the research i have completed shows that there are many, many complaints of the same nature from other honda odyssey owners. |
