Description of the problem | On march 2010 i first took the car into dealer (beaverton honda) to indicate that whenever i apply brakes going slower than 25mph there is a loud squeaking noise. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. Since then i have been back at the same dealer for same issue now for the 6th time. And on last friday (sep. 2010) when i went for a test drive with technician i was able to duplicate the issue and he said he knew of the issue and likely to be coming from rear. When i picked up the car they said that they adjusted the parking brake as per tech line service article from june 2009 but the noise was still there. Hence honda tech lined informed the dealer that it's a known issue and they are working on it and if there is a fix they will notify me. Unfortunately, whatever they did on friday made it 10x worse as now it's happening 90-95% of the time. Even when i am let go of the brakes from stop and then apply the brakes going 1-2mps it makes that awful noise. So i went back to the dear today. They just called me and told me they think that replacing the front brake pads and the front rotors should fix it but no guarantees since honda tech line says this is a known problem. The same dealer about a moth and half ago (6/23/2010) told me that replacing all front/back break pads will fix the issue but it didn't. So now within 1. 5 months they want to replace the front break pads along with the front rotors and they are not guaranteeing it will fix the issue. I have called american honda on opened a case as this is unacceptable and my wife says she won't drive the car until it's fixed. This issue started after they applied the safety recall on the 2007 odyssey regarding "soft brakes". Just before they applied that safety recall the dealer had also found my front brake rotors were prematurely wrapped and resurfaced it under warranty. Thus, it seems there is a continued issue with this model year of honda odyssey. |
