Description of the problem | I own a 2007 honda odyssey and have been having problems with my brakes for some time. They feel very soft and "spongy" when i step on them; my foot sinks all the way to the floor. There have been numerous instances where i have almost hit another vehicle because the brakes do not respond. The brakes also grind very hard and sound very loud when i come to a complete stop at the bottom of a hill. Also, when i try to stop or slow the van when traveling at high speeds (such as highway driving), my steering wheel vibrates violently. I have taken the van to the mechanic and have been told that my brake pads are fine (50% front, 60% rear), but that my rotors have worn prematurely. I also had problems with my power steering--i took the van in for service because i had a difficult time maneuvering the van in tight situations (parking)--it turns out that my power steering pump was not operating and needed to be replaced (at 36,267 miles)--267 miles over the honda new car warranty. |
