#183 of 243 Re: 2007 ODY ELX GRINDING NOISE FRONT BRAKES [mlangjahr] by tuckoffshore Apr 07, 2009 (6:16 am)
Replying to: mlangjahr (Apr 02, 2009 5:54 am) I own a 2007 EX-L. On 3 occasions while traveling at a constant spd of 55-60mph, the van downshifts suddenly and quickly decels to less than 25mph. 1st occurrence was around 40,000 mi. Dlrshp has no clue but advised that we replace transm fluid (no big deal). Now we are beyond pwr train warranty and it did it again. One of the times I noticed that the vehicle stabilty assistance (VSA) light came on. Be forwarned. I worry I soon will be faced with replacing a transm! Even worse, I worry this could put my family at risk!

Replying to: tuckoffshore (Apr 07, 2009 6:16 am) I thought the Pilot has it, and now the Odyssey also. It is a big complaint in Pilot forum ... check this out... 78 posts in this thread http://www.hondapilot.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16923 Replies to this message: mlangjahr (Apr 09, 2009 7:22 am)

#187 of 243 Soft Brake fixed by smily Apr 15, 2009 (4:42 pm)
I took my wife's 2007 Odyssey to a nearby dealer and had them fixsed the soft brake. I brought a copy of SB so that service manager couldn't say "it is typical Honda brake!" Dealer replaced the ABS modulator assembly and sure enough now the brake works much better. I still believe Toyota Sienna's brake is better than Odyssey's. Honda's brake just doesn't have enough power to stop the heavy body. Anyway, the pedal feeling is much better for sure. Thanks to Edmund Forum.

#189 of 243 Soft Brakes by hob1 Apr 16, 2009 (8:37 am)
Had an email and a discussion with an engineer from NHTSA who is investigating the soft brakes on the Honda Odyssey. I had submitted a report back in July when Honda told me that my soft squishy brakes on my new vehicle were normal (2008 EXL). I had the TSB performed in mid-january and I was very happy with the results. Everything still feels very normal 2 months later...so I am very happy with the repair. Just thought that i would bring everyone up to date. I gave the engineer a copy of the TSB and the link to this site and the Odyforum so that he can see the concerns of others. Also will send him a copy my repair information. If you are having this problem I would recommend the TSB, but also reporting it to NHTSA. This is a safety issue and should be addressed quickly by Honda. Replies to this message: float1322 (Apr 17, 2009 5:26 pm) sonofknud (Apr 17, 2009 6:57 pm)

Replying to: hob1 (Apr 16, 2009 8:37 am) Supposedly I had the module replaced last december UNDER THE SAME TSB!! It was better but still not like it shoul be. The problem is now comming back!! I wonder if they replaced it with the TSB part???? Only 3 months of usage?? How would I know?? What will this NHTSA do?? This is crazy!! Replies to this message: sonofknud (Apr 17, 2009 6:57 pm)

Replying to: float1322 (Apr 17, 2009 5:26 pm) If it is getting worse keep bringing it back in to the dealer. They replaced my ABS module at least 3 times and the did not fix the issue. In the end the lemon law might work in your favor (it was a pain but it worked). You might want to educate yourself on the lemon law for your state.

Replying to: tuckoffshore (Apr 07, 2009 5:50 am) My rotors were turned down even though it may not have been needed. Replaced the original brake pads with the Akebono Ceramics. No more noise. My wife is happy that no one stares at her when she is applying brakes at low speed. The brake pads that were removed had over 60,000 miles and they had plenty more pad. Very likely they could have lasted have another 40,000 miles. However, those super hard brake pads sounded like they were grinding up the rotors. They had to go.
