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???

QUITE OFTEN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR WHEN MOVING SLOWLY, I.E. AT AN INTERSECTION, OR WHEN STOPPED. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN INITIATING A TURN, FROM A STOP OR SLOW ROLL. THE HESITATION IS UNNERVING! IT CAN LAST A HALF-SECOND, WHICH IS A LONG TIME WHEN CARS ARE APPROACHING. IT MAY BE THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE, OR THE TRANSMISSION. SEEMS THE ENGINE IS NOT BEING TOLD TO INCREASE POWER IN REAL TIME. THE DEALER, OF COURSE, WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT CAN BE DUPLICATED, WHICH IS HARD TO DO IN A SHORT TEST DRIVE WITH A TECHNICIAN. THEY WANT $106.00 FOR EVERY TIME I TRY. I AM SURE HONDA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION, BUT THEY PUT IT ON THE DEALER, SO NO ACTION IS TAKEN. THANK YOU HONDA FOR RUINING OUR FAITH IN YOUR PRODUCT!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 41 IN ACWORTH, GA, WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR, AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP." IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING EXPLODED, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I THEN HEARD THE SOUND OF WIND, THINKING ONE OF MY KIDS ROLLED DOWN ONE OF THE WINDOWS, BUT I CHECKED THEM ALL AND THEY HAD NOT. I OPENED THE SHADE COVER FOR THE SUNROOF, TO FIND A HUGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, AND THE REST OF THE GLASS SPIDER WEBBED/SHATTERED. I QUICKLY CLOSED IT AND GOT HOME TO FURTHER INSPECT. WE WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAPPENED, BUT SPENT $800 HAVING IT REPAIRED (AND THAT WAS WITH A USED SUNROOF).
