I purchased my 2007 Honda Odyssey new and it know has 36K Miles. Currently, when the brakes are applied at slow speeds, I hear a squeaking noise coming from the rear. The dealer has looked at the minivan three times and can't find anything wrong. They are telling me that all 2005 and later Odysseys all have the problem of loud brakes. I'm having a hard time believing them since the problem just started to occur and it appears to get worse. Has other Odyssey owners experience this problem? It's a great minivan, but this braking noise has me the to the point of trading it in for a Sienna.

I bought my Odyssey 1/2008. At 10,000 one of my rear rotors warped after I drove the car on longest trip at one time which was about 100 miles. There was alot of traffic so I was on the brakes alot. That evening I drove the car again and noticed the vibration in the rear. I have a little mechanical experience so I knew what the problem was. I brought the car to the dealer who informed me that they only warrantied the brakes for 7000 miles and that the car would need rotors resurfaced and pads. The pads still had plenty of life left so I didn't need new ones I just wanted the rotor fixed. They told me that this was a normal wear part and I would have to pay for the repair. My warranty doesn't say anything about 7000 miles on the brakes but does say that they will replace a defective part. I think this guy was just giving me the standard line of BS. Should they be covering this as a defective part? I don't think rotors should be warping at 10,000 miles regardless of driving conditions. My wife, who drives this car, also told me that the brake pedal felt much softer than it used to. In reading threds here I've realized that I am certainly not alone with these problems. Thanks to post #160 I downloaded the "Service Bulletin" that applies to this problem. I didn't pay the dealer to fix my rear rotor problem until I did a little research first. I am new to this forum and have found it to be incredibly helpful. Any comments or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: sonofknud (Sep 17, 2008 12:11 pm) My 06 honda odyssey also makes squealing noise when you brake lightly. I took it to the dealer 5x and it didn't get fixed. I filed for lemon-law complaint at the BBB. I was wondering how long the process takes to replace you vehicle...Thanks!
