Well the BBB has specific time frames to respond so that keep the process moving. I am guessing it will depend on the situation. If you can settle with Honda or do you need to go to court? Once Honda decided to replace the vehicle it still took months for them to get the paper work going.

I am taking my Ody in for the soft brake TSB (Reference Post #160). Can someone tell me where the VSA module is located in the car and how I can identify it?
Thanks!

I took my 2007 Ody in for soft brake response. They confirmed the issue and ordered the required modulator per TSB 07-045. I took the van back a few days later for the fix. The brakes now respond much better. At this point I would say that the TSB fix resolved the issue.

Is this TSB covered under warranty?
Thanks!

Yes, it was covered under warranty. Likely covered as a 'good-will' fix outside of warranty.

Please upgrade to ceramic brakes made by Akebono,it has cured the odyssey brake noise {front}. The OEM pad may never wear out, very high metallic content.
The price is the same.

Took our 2007Ody into the deal last Friday for the grinding noise and low pedel/squichy brakes. Was told we needed new front brakes even though we only have 30,000 miles on the car. I told the service writer that I have 57,000 on my 07 Ridgeline and it still has plenty of front brake pad but to no eval, we got the front brakes done. $200 for pad and turing the rotors.
Why drivng off the lot, the brakes still made the grinding sound and the low pedel/squichy brakes were still there. I turned right around and drove back the the service bay. The service writer said they'd check it out. The service writer calls me and says they measured the brake pedel travel against another Ody and it was the same and I should come pick up the car.
After I received the call I got on line and found this site and downloaded the TSB. They've odered the parts and the "fix" will be done to our car tomorrow. Frankly, this is BS that you as a consumer have to go find out this stuff and tell the dealer how to fix the cars they represent!

Yeah it is whole lots of baloney that we consumers have to find out how and teach them how to fix it and these dealers charges are expensive if no warranty to back it up.

I own a 2007 Ody EX-L. At low speeds when applying light to medium brake pressure I get a similar grinding/squeal from my brakes. Seems to come from frnt and rear. It started around 35-40,00 mi. I removed wheels and brakes and I have plenty of pad left - not even close to be worn out. Also, rotors show no sign of uneven wear. Honda Dlrshp says the rotors may be warped or worn and need to be turned down. Tomorrow I will do this and replace the brakes. I will post my results. This type of problem infuriates me. I am a loyal Honda owner - 98 CRV(182K mi), 94 Accord (345k mi). The Accord will not last forever so I am considering a Ford Fusion!

Stop using the OEM pad-they'll never wear out-use the AKEBONO ceramic same price range.Don't need to cut the rotors unless you are pulsating.
you have an accord with 345k and you'd consider a "FORD" ?!?!?!?!
