| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased brand new odyssey july'07. from date of purchase we noticed the brakes performed below par. the brakes required much force be applied as well as a longer stopping distance be accommodated. at first the dealer commented that our vehicle did not have a problem, however, a test drive showed that if one depressed the brake pedal while the car is at rest it gave way until it eventually made contact with the floor. after this the dealer insisted that i leave with a rental while they looked at the problem, sept '07. they kept the vehicle for two days. upon returning the vehicle their comments were "we have improved the master cylinder, however, this is temporary and i should allow for a further inspection at my next oil change". the vehicle is still not right. when driving the vehicle in heavy traffic and bad weather it does not inspire confidence, one feels as though one is driving a lemon. now there is an additional fault. the computer flashes a warning (erratic) "check petrol cap"... this warning appearing after having covered 320mls with still ample fuel in the tank. no apparent logic can be attached to the reason of the warning. the warning disappears after the engine is turned off, the petrol cap is opened and then closed again and, the engine restarted. *tr |
