AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ON MINIVAN SAFETY, WE PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODDYSEY IN JANUARY OF 2005. WITHIN MONTHS, WE NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING HARD OR COMING TO A QUICK STOP. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS COMES AND GOES AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE STILL COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ATTEMPT TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ANOTHER BRAND (OUR SECOND CHOICE OF MINIVAN) WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR FIRST CHOICE.

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING MODEL IN AUGUST 2005. WITHIN DAYS, I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN MAKING A HARD STOP OR STOPPING ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH THE DEALER. INITIALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE FAULTY AND WOULD BE REPLACED. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. NEXT THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS GRAVEL IN THE PAD. THE LAST TIME I WENT IN, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I ASKED THEM HOW MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THEY HAD ON THIS ISSUE AND I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. THE MANAGER BECAME HOSTILE AND WAS EXTREMELY RUDE. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN, I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT MYSTERIOUSLY, THE BRAKES ARE BETTER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I FEEL AS IF I PAID $37,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE SAFE. HONDA MUST BE MADE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESOLVED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN AND BUY ANOTHER BRAND AS THE DEALER REFUSES TO HELP AND HAS RESORTED TO BEING DOWN RIGHT HOSTILE ABOUT THE SITUATION. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. NO WARNING SIGNAL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE FRONT WHEEL PADS WERE WORN OUT AND THE TWO FRONT ROTORS WERE MACHINED. AFTER 4000 MILES, THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE FRONT WHEELS BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT AND REPLACED THEM AGAIN. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND THE FRONT SHAKING WAS NOTICED NINE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OPENED A CASE WITH THE COMMITMENT OF CALLING BACK PROMPTLY WHICH HAS NOT HAPPENED.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT TO FILE ON THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX MODEL. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT WHENEVER WE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, THERE IS A LOUD CREAKING SOUND, A SOUND OF METAL CREAKING AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO SNAP. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER WE HAVE TO BRAKE SUDDENLY OR DO A HARD STOP. AND WHEN WE DO A HARD STOP, THE CREAKING SOUND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A SENSATION OF HESITATION COMING FROM THE BRAKES, AS IF THE BRAKES HAVE SKIPPED OR SLIPPED AND THEY HAD TO TIGHTEN AGAIN TO STOP. AS A RESULT, OUR BRAKING DISTANCE IS QUITE TIGHT AND WE HAVE TO GIVE OURSELVES EVEN GREATER DISTANCE TO BRAKE SAFELY. BUT IN HARD AND SUDDEN STOPS, WE DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY AND THUS FAR WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT WE HAVE NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. BUT WE HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND GONE TO SEVERAL DEALERS TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A VAN IN WHICH I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN ITS BRAKING SYSTEM. *JB
