1999 Honda Odyssey Brakes Problems

THE REAR BRAKES GROAN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT BEGINS AFTER YOU REPLACE THE BRAKE SHOES ON THE REAR DRUM BRAKES DUE TO RESONANCE TRANSFERRED THROUGH BRAKE DRUM MATERIAL. AMERICAN HONDA ISSUED TSB 01-013 ON FEBRUARY 25, 2003 BUT STILL REFUSED TO GIVE GOODWILL CONSIDERATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE DRUMS, WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT $388. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT LUTE RILEY HONDA AND HONDA CARS OF MCKINNEY IN TEXAS. AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL 1999-2001 ODYSSEY MINI VANS AND REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE REAR BRAKE DRUMS FREE OF CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW-WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OF THE BRAKES IS HEARD -IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO STOP MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE IS CONTINUING TO MOVE FOR UNSAFE DISTANCES. BRAKE PEDAL TAKES A LONG TIME TO FULLY DEPRESS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ENCOUNTERED IN DRY CONDITIONS. I DROVE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS CARS ON THIS SAME DAY WITH NO PROBLEM. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER. THESE BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A HONDA CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE TIRES AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE AT THE END OF LAST WINTER-NOW WITH THE FIRST SNOWFALL THIS YEAR-SAME PROBLEM.*AK

ABS SYSTEM BANGS A LOT WHEN ENGAGING BUT DOESN'T REALLY ASSIST IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE THAT CUT IN FRONT OF HER IN A PARKING LOT. THE ABS KICKED IN AND MADE A LOUD BANGING NOISE BUT THE VAN NEVER STOPPED AND WENT IN TO THE OTHER CAR.
