2006 Honda Odyssey

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT HEARD AN UNUSUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTACTS BRAKING ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AS THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY INTO THE FLOOR PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A FIVE YEAR SPAN AND HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY SOMETIME IN EARLY 2007. ON MARCH 12, 2010 WE HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS OF OUR BRAKES FOR THE 3RD TIME BECAUSE OF WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. RIGHT NOW THE ODYSSEY HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON IT. SO BASICALLY, WE HAVE HAD TO RESURFACE OUR BRAKES ROTORS ON AVERAGE EVERY 23,000 MILES. BEFORE WE DO EACH RESURFACING, THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER WITH BRAKING THAT OCCURS AT SPEEDS OVER 35MPH. WE HAVE HAD 6 DIFFERENT CARS IN OUR LIVES AND NONE OF THE CARS HAD TO HAVE THEIR ROTORS RESURFACED, EVER. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 MODELS WHEN HAVING MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. VERY LOW BRAKING POWER AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60 MPH. THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVING HABIT. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSPECTED AS GOOD CONDITION. HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS ON APPLICATION OF BRAKES EVERYTIME TO SLOW DOWN. TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN SLOPE. DRIVING DOWN SLOPE, THE BRAKES SQUEAL (METAL GRINDING OVER METAL). THIS INCIDENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES DOWNHILL WITH CONSTANT APPLICATION OF BRAKES. SHIFTED THE GEAR TO THE LOWEST, AND YET THERE IS NO BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OLD. DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE TO BE FINE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR THREE YEARS AND THE BRAKE PADS HAVE A SEVERE GRINDING NOISE ONCE THEY HEAT UP. THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE THE BRAKES TO GRIND IS TO PERFORM THREE OR FOUR SUCCESSIVE STOPS, LIGHT, HARD, MED, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. BOTTOM LINE, ONCE THE BRAKES GET HOT, THE GRINDING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE COOLED. THE DEALER NOTED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED/RESURFACED THE PADS AND ROTORS. ONE YEAR LATER AND THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE TENDS TO INCREASE WHEN THE GRINDING IS TAKING PLACE. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THE SOFTENING BRAKE PEDAL IN MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPD, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND HE HEARD A SCREECHING AND WINDING NOISE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FURTHERMORE, HE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING DOWN HILL AND TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. HE HAD NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO-DATE. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BEING REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY ROTOR BRAKES PROBLEMS! IN THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED MY ROTOR BRAKES AND PADS 2 TIMES! HONDA DID A COURTESY REPLACEMENT IN 2007 AFTER COMPLAINING TO THEM THAT THE BRAKES ARE MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS AND WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT JUST AFTER LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE ROTOR BRAKE IS WARPED. LAST OCT 2009, DURING SERVICE CHECK THEY SAID THE ROTOR BRAKE IS CRACKED/WARPED AGAIN AND WE NEED TO REPLACE IT AND THEY CANNOT COVER I HAD TO PAY. I USED THE VAN FOR WORK ( 8 MILES ONE -WAY). I COMPLAINED TO HONDA DCH OXNARD AND TOLD THEM THAT THE ROTOR BRAKE AND PADS WAS JUST REPLACED IN MID 2007 AND HOW A VAN THAT IS JUST USED FOR WORK COULD HAVE ITS ROTOR BRAKES FAIL IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THEY GAVE A LAME EXCUSE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A SOFT SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL, OFTEN GOING LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR WHILE BRAKING, ALLOWING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR TO BE DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BRAKE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RACING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE ODYSSEY TO LURCH FORWARD, AND COULD QUITE EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I IMMEDIATELY NOTED A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT ROLLED FORWARD WHILE THE BRAKE WAS SET BUT I FEEL IT MAY IF IT SAT LONG ENOUGH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED AS I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE CAUSE. BRAKE FLUID IS NOT LOW SO I ASSUME AIR HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN INTO THE BRAKE LINES. *TR
