Description of the problem | Bought honda 2007 odyssey from dealer. Vehicle had 40,433mi. Window sticker showed it as a honda (150 point inspected) certified vehicle. Noticed spongy brakes during test drive and thought brakes just needed to be bleed. I bought the vehicle and after only 400miles the pedal started going down to floor. After 700mi the car was too dangerous to drive. Searching the net i found out there was a service bulletin for a known problem with spongy brakes caused by defective vsa module but no recall. Checking my window sticker i saved and it said it was a honda certified vehicle but in low left corner showed 90 day/1k mile warranty. I called american honda about my brake problem and was given consideration and vsa module replaced for a reduced cost to me of $600. 00 instead of the normal $1200. 00. This is not right, i should not be paying for a defective product and hope that there is a recall soon before someone is seriously injured. |
