| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a new 2005 honda odyssey lx in september 2004. i have experienced multiple incidents in which the brakes make a very loud grinding noise with normal braking that seems to be coming from the front brakes. the sound and feel is like there is metal grinding metal from the steering wheel. when the grinding occurs, braking power is minimal. the grinding occurs more frequently in city driving after using the brakes more often. its almost like they heat up and get sticky??? the scarcity experience was coming down a hill to a red light at 15 mph, my family within, coming to a major road, and the feeling of the van not stopping scared me to death. the grinding issue has resulted in loss of braking ability but no loss of control. as i have found here, i am part of a growing complaint from other new odyssey owners who have complained and experienced this same problem. do not know if this matters or not, when this occurs, i can go and cool the brakes with water and the sensation will diminish at least for a little while. it seems to be getting more common as time is continuing. i have brought this issue to my dealer, but they always just say that they did not hear anything. same ole same ole....*nm |
