| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Grinding, pulsating hard to stop brakes at 8500 miles. honda stated not a safety issue. issue got worse and finally after 13 attempts through 2 dealers and their customer relations line, i filed with the better business bureau. it was deemed in the arbitration hearing that these brakes were indeed a safety issue. poor brake pads which caused warped rotors are dangerous. vehicle does not stop timely. someone will get killed. honda is well aware that there is a problem with the braking system on the 2005 and 2006 odyssey (my parents have a 2006). when i first reported in april 05, honda said they new of the problem, but continued to sell dangerous vehicles. supposedly as of march 06 they have the new pads. it should be mandated that they notify every 05 & 06 odyssey owner and advise them of the potential problem. please make honda do this because they won't on their own. according to honda's own website "honda genuine brake pads your honda's ability to brake properly and reliably is obviously of the utmost importance for the safety of you and your passengers." they advertise that the vehicle is the safest, but it is a dangerous family vehicle. does a family have to die before honda does the right thing? *nm |
