2013 Honda Odyssey Brakes Problems

We have taken our 2013 Honda Odyssey several times to the shop because the brakes don’t feel safe. They seem to work fine but the brakes pedal is spongy. Keeping the brake pedal slightly pressed with the engine running, the pedal continues to sink almost to the floor. So far we have spent over $1000 for a new brake booster, new master cylinder, brake fluid flush and brake bleeding. The shop bled the brakes several times, manual and computer bleeding but the brakes are still spongy.

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP CAUSING STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND BRAKE PEDAL THUMPING. ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED 3 TIMES ONLY TO HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES. AT HIGHER SPEEDS ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. HONDA WON'T UPGRADE TO BETTER PERFORMING ROTORS. NEED A SAFETY RECALL. LONG TIME ISSUE.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. OVERALL IT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT, BUT IT DOES HAVE ONE HORRIBLE SAFETY FLAW. THE BRAKES HEAT UP AND WARP ON EVEN A SMALL HILL AND CAUSE THE STEERING TO SHAKE TERRIBLY WHEN BREAKING. THE DEALER WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, FOR A PREMIUM OF COURSE, AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN IT COMES RIGHT BACK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT HONDA HASN'T BEEN FORCED TO DO A RECALL SINCE THEY WON'T DO ONE ON THEIR OWN. THEY CALL IT "WEAR AND TEAR". YEAH, RIGHT. IT'S SO COMMON THAT THE DEALER SPECIFICALLY ASKS ABOUT IT EVERY TIME WE COME IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE OR WHATEVER. "ANY ISSUES WITH SHAKING DURING BREAKING?" SORRY, BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A NORMAL QUESTION EVERY TIME A CAR COMES IN FOR SERVICE. WE'VE PAID FOR THE "REPAIRS" A FEW TIMES, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME PARTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SO NOW I JUST ANSWER YES, BUT THAT IT'S NOT SHAKING ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THE TEMPORARY REPAIRS AGAIN. REALLY, IT'S KIND OF SCARY AND HORRIBLE. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. THIS IS A MINIVAN. MINIVANS ARE USUALLY FILLED WITH KIDS. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE AT HONDA OR THE US GOVERNMENT WILL FINALLY REALIZE THAT PARENTS SHOULDN'T BE STRUGGLING TO HOLD ONTO THEIR STEERING WHEELS JUST SO THAT HONDA CAN SELL NEW BRAKES EVERY FEW MONTHS. I'M ONLY BRINGING IT UP NOW BECAUSE IT'S SO COMMON THAT I'M STARTING TO RECEIVE LETTERS FROM ATTORNEYS ABOUT CLASS-ACTION SUITS. I'D RATHER HONDA JUST ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. DO THE ROTORS SIMPLY NEED TO BE BETTER QUALITY STEEL? I WOULD EVEN BE FINE IF I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BRAKES YET AGAIN, AS LONG AS THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE MINIVAN ONLY HAS ABOUT 59K MILES ON IT.

PULSATION/SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL TO THE POINT OF FEELING LIKE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 45 - 55 MPH. HAVE HAD TO HAVE ROTORS RESURFACED TWICE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM (1ST IN 2015 AT 24,177 MILES BUT UNDER WARRANTY, 2ND IN 2017 AT $204 AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN AT 51,542). NOW BEING TOLD TO RESURFACE THEM ONCE MORE OR REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AND PADS FOR $668 AND IF REPLACED WILL BE WITH THE NEW DESIGN OF THE ROTORS ALLOWS FOR MORE AIR FLOW. IF THERE IS A NEW DESIGN, THEN OBVIOUSLY HONDA KNOWS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLD DESIGN AND SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUES ONLINE (CARSCOMPLAINTS.COM, REPAIRPAL.COM) MANY OTHER PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. I'VE NEVER HAD TO HAD ROTORS RESURFACED SO MANY TIMES.

BEFORE MY CAR REACHED THE 20,000 MILE AGE THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES WHEN DECELERATING AT 50-30 MPH SPEED. ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY CAN CHECK WHAT IS WRONG. THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WHEEL BALANCE ISSUE BUT THE CAR IS NEW. NOT UNTIL I READ ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. NOW MY CAR IS 57,000 MILES OLD AND WILL NEED THE ROTOR AND PADS REPLACED. OUTSIDE MECHANIC CHARGING ME $450 FOR ROTOR REPLACEMENT, PADS AND LABOR.

MY BRAKES VIBRATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON THE FREEWAY, OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR LIGHTS. I FIRST NOTICED THIS SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I TOOK THE VAN IN ASKED FOR THE BRAKES TO BE CHECKED. THE VIBRATING STOPPED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THEN STARTED BACK UP. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED THE TIRES. IT STOPPED AGAIN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THEN STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. I TOOK THE VAN IN AND ASKED FOR THE ROTORS TO BE TURNED. THAT AGAIN HELPED FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THE VIBRATING RETURNED. IT IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY TO FEEL THE VIBRATION IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND IF I BRAKE HARD TO FEEL THE VAN PULL TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE EXPLAINED THIS PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO TAKE IT IN AND GET NO SATISFACTORY REPAIRS. AT ONE POINT I CAME HOME AND AIRED UP MY TIRES AND THAT SEEMED TO HELP FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THEN THE VIBRATION IS BACK AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN IN DECEMBER, 2014 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. IS THERE ANY SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND FOR THIS PROBLEM???

ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY, NOTICED SIGNIFICANT STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AT 35K MILES WHILE GOING DOWN OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE SLOWING DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT MADE ME GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER TO TRY TO STEADY THE WHEELS SO WE DON'T DRIVE OFF THE CLIFF. I BELIEVE IT POSES A DANGER AS IT CREATES A SITUATION WHERE SUCH STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND TIRES VIBRATION CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH THE CONTROL OVER VEHICLE COULD BE LOST ALONG WITH LIVES OF THOSE IN THE CAR. I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE TIRES, WHICH WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION. THE CAR IS IN GOOD STANDING AS ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES WERE COMPLETED TIMELY. WHEN CONTACTED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT ROTORS NEEDS TO BE RESURFACED. BUT AS I AM READING ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, THIS COULD BE AN ENDLESS AND EXPENSIVE RECURRENT SERVICE. THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE, THEREFORE IT SHOULDN'T BE A STANDARD WHEN ROTORS COME OUT OF FUNCTIONALITY AS SOON AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF FACTORY.

MY FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE UNSAFELY SHUDDERING AT 31,000 MILES AND I HAD THEM REPAIRED ON 6/29/2016. NOW, THEY ARE SHUDDERING AGAIN AT 44,341, ON 6/7/2017. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS EASILY FOUND ON THE INTERNET WERE DRIVERS, SIMILAR TO ME, ARE ALARMED BY A SEEMING UNSAFE AND DEFECTIVE OVERALL BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY, AND SIMILAR YEAR MODELS. THE SHUDDERING CAN BE SEVERE WHEN BRAKING BETWEEN 50 TO 70 MPH. THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES SIMILAR TO MINE WHERE PEOPLE ARE REPAIRING THEM AND THEN THE UNSAFE SHUDDERING REOCCURS AGAIN IN JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE VAN HAS BEEN ADULT DRIVE FOR ITS ENTIRE HISTORY, WITH 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND ADULTS AS OCCUPANTS.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO WHILE ON VACATION OUR STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND VIBRATING WHILE BRAKING DOWNHILL. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR OUR FAMILY FROM ILLINOIS TO EXPERIENCE. WE SCHEDULED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS AT THE SHOP NEAREST US ON 6/22/2015 WITH 36,206 MILES ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAD NEW ROTORS ON FRONT AND REAR REPLACED AND FRONT BRAKES $685. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP TO SEE FAMILY IN MICHIGAN WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UPON BRAKING. ON 12/2/2016 57,428 MILES WE AGAIN HAD TO PAY FOR REAR ROTORS AND BRAKES. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE FREQUENCY OF REPAIRS (WE TRUST OUR REPAIR GUY) IN ANY OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES (FORDS AND CHEVYS). OUR VAN IS USUALLY DRIVEN AROUND TOWN WITH KID'S ACTIVITIES. EXPRESSWAY AND HIGH SPEED DRIVING IS LIMITED. THIS IS OUR FIRST HONDA. THEN ON 12/10/2016 WITH 57,569 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) LIGHT STAYS ON. TURNS OUT SPARK PLUGS 1 AND 2 FOULING..I'M SEEING THERE ARE COMPLAINTS HERE ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. I CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THE SPARK PLUGS AND THEY SAID THERE IS AN EXTENSION TO COVER THIS IF I WENT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE AND IT WORKS OUT, REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE AND WE WANT TO BE SAFE!

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING WHEN HITTING BRAKE ON HIGHWAY. MY CAR MILEAGE IS 36642. THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT'S FRONT ROTORS ISSUE BEFORE CHECKING. I GUESS IT'S COMMON FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. I ALSO GOT THE 2ND OPINION FROM THE WHEELWORKS SHOP AND THEY SAID "THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE HEAT RINGS", BUT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS BOTH ARE "8MM"(GREEN MEANING GOOD CONDITION).

BRAKES VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY WHEN APPLIED AND WHEN AT LEGAL SPEEDS OF 60 OR 70 VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES HARD TO CONTROL. I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID HONDA WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DISCS AND HE COULD ONLY TURN THEM THE STOP THE VIBRATION. THIS WAS DONE AT AROUND 16,000 MILES, BUT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AND A FEW THOUSAND MILES THE VIBRATION BEGAN TO REAPPEAR AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. FROM TALKING TO MECHANICS THAT WORK ON THESE VEHICLES AND SEARCHING THE WEB IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DISC DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE HEAT FROM BRAKING TO DISSIPATE THUS WARPING THE DISC. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE DISCS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED ONES TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. IF MYSELF OR MY WIFE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE UNCONTROLLABLE AND COULD CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT.

WE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL 1 YEAR AGO (7/18/16). WE IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, AND ALSO BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES ABOUT 4 MONTHS OUT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T WORK. WE ASKED THEM TO CONSIDER THE ROTORS AS THE ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE RELUCTANT SINCE THEY WERE JUST RESURFACED THEM BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, THEY DID AGREE, AND ALL FOUR ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD US OUR 8 MONTH OLD TIRES HAD WEAR BEYOND THE NORMAL AMOUNT, AND SUGGESTED IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY THE VIBRATION PROBLEMS. WE'RE GETTING ANOTHER SET OF TIRES FROM THE DEALER, BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT WE WILL SOON BE HAVING TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS AGAIN BASED ON THE HISTORY I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN OF HERE, AND OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. WE FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE ROTORS ON THE 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY. THERE IS CERTAINLY ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROBLEM.

MY ODYSSEY IS 19,600 MILES. I'M EXPERIENCING VIBRATIONS IN BRAKE PADDLE, ACCELERATOR PADDLE AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING AND WHILE ACCELERATING BETWEEN 35-40 MILES. TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO SERVICE CENTER, THEY WRAP ROTORS. SO, BRAKING VIBRATIONS ARE GONE, BUT ACCELERATOR VIBRATION IS ON. HONDA SERVICE CENTER CANNOT RESOLVE IT AS VIBRATION IS NOT HEAVY. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. I REQUEST YOU TO HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE FOR ME AND ALL OWNERS FOR ONCE AND ALL.

WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (FOR EXAMPLE, USING AN EXIT RAMP) THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. ALSO EXPERIENCED RHYTHMIC LURCHING WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. AVERAGE DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND I WOULD SAY I'M A GENTLE DRIVER. THE DEALER MACHINED THE ROTORS AT ABOUT 24K MILES, WHICH TEMPORARILY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. NOW AT 38K MILES, THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING. SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAULTY.

FROM READING FORUMS AND BLOGS ON THIS PARTICULAR ODYSSEY YEAR AND EXPERIENCING FIRST HAND, I'M JUST IN DISBELIEF THAT HONDA WON'T RECALL THIS SITUATION! THE VAN ONLY HAS 21000 MILES ON IT (BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED) AND I'M HOPING THAT WHEN I CALL HONDA THEY'LL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN PLAIN SIGHT! BREAKING WHEN COMING DOWN A STEEP GRADE OF HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY GETTING A VIOLENT SHAKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND FEELING THE TIRES SKIP AND BOUNCE...HOW CAN THAT NOT BE A RECALL ISSUE?! ESPECIALLY HAVING FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE! I'M GOING TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE (LIKE OTHERS HAVE) AND VOICE IT OUT TOO. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SITUATION AND STAND BY THEIR QUALITY AND NAME. THEY DO HAVE THE BEST VANS, BELIEVE ME I'VE HAD 4DIFFERENT MAKES, BUT TO READ AND EXPERIENCE THE BREAKING ISSUE AND HONDA NOT RECALLING IT...THAT'S NOT RIGHT ESPECIALLY IF FAMILIES LIVES ARE AT HAND! HONDA, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING!
