While driving on the freeway with my two children, the two front wheel bearings of my 2007 honda odyssey broke! Although I was able to continue to the side of the road, the car was not in any shape to continue. *tr I took my honda to the original dealer, herb chambers honda in seekonk massachusetts. At that time, they mentioned that a broken wheel bearing is extremely dangerous and we should not be driving the vehicle. The technician said that the wheel could lock up or come completely dislodged from the frame. In addition, he assured me that my driving did not cause the break and that is a clear defect in the product. Still, because the car had 61,622 miles, I was charged 700.00 to fix the bearings. I am asking nets officials to investigate honda for the wheel bearing failures on all honda odyssey minivans for the following reasons: thousands if not, millions effected - according to thousands of honda owners on the internet who have experienced the same issue, the wheel bearings break anywhere from 1200k (just off the lot) to 75k. Safety ' when you continue driving a vehicle with bad bearings, the symptoms will worsen and safety risks increase. The steering wheel will become harder to control. If this happens, navigating and steering will be difficult. A wheel will become loose and move around in the wheel arch, causing damage to hub and brakes. If the wheel remains unstable, it will eventually detach from the vehicle while you are driving. Abs issues - wheel bearings contain sensors that send a signal to the anti-lock braking system (ABS) when the tires spin or skid. Continuing to drive a vehicle with bad bearings can cause its ABS system to fail. When bearings are faulty, the ABS signal light usually appears on the dash indicating the disablement of the ABS system. This generally does not cause any interruptions in regular braking; however, it will suspend the ABS system's aid in emergency situations or while braking on wet or slippery surfaces.

This problem was first observed by the vehicle owner on 11/27/2009, however, the driver was able to stop in time on that date, and the vehicle then functioned normally until the collision that occurred on 11/30/2009. 3. Immediately after the accident on 11/30/2009, the vehicle owner reported that the vehicle brakes had failed to the auto insurance carrier, and took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnosis. Upon arriving at the dealership, the service representative acknowledge that honda was aware of the braking issue, and even though the vehicle was out of warranty, they offered to cover the repair at 90% and instructed the owner to collect the remaining 10% of the cost directly from honda. The dealership diagnosis was that the ABS module was leaking air into the brake system. All other braking components were operational. The dealership replaced the ABS module, and bled the brake system to remedy the problem. The old parts were disposed of by the dealership prior to insurance carrier being aware of issue. Service records indicate that the vehicle owner had vehicle braking system maintenance completed on 8/19/2009 at the same dealership.

My 2007 honda odyssey has twice had the following problem. Both times it was in conditions where the anti-lock brakes were (presumably) engaged: once coming to stop on a very wet street in rain, and the second on a very snowy, poor traction street. Both times I was braking harder than usual while decelerating to come up to a stop sign/light and the ABS engaged. The initial slowing was fine, no slipping, but as I decelerated through about 3-5 MPH, the brakes refused to work. I pressed the pedal harder but the brakes would no longer engage. I was moving very slowly, but unable to stop (and this was not due to road surface, it was due to the brakes refusing to engage). The first time I narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me. The second time I just continued forward halfway through the intersection. I am a commercial pilot and it felt like the antilock brakes had released, and then refused to re-engage. I tried pumping them as well. No response. The pedal still had braking feel, just no brake engagement. Perhaps the ABS should cut out below 2 MPH or some preset number and this did not happen? Anyway, in those conditions, you need to be able to stop...even if you're traveling extremely slowly, being unable to stop the vehicle from entering the intersection through the red light is very dangerous.

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: master cylinderReported October 22, 2010 · 471,820 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 odyssey and acura rl vehicles. Brake fluid containing polymers is used that acts as a lubricant for certain brake system components. If replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston. If this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.
Risk
A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and overtime a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during december 2010. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

Service brakes, airReported March 16, 2010 · 412,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Honda has notified the federal safety agency of a defect in certain model year 2007 and 2008 odyssey and element passenger vehicles manufactured between july 28, 2006 and august 21, 2008. Air can enter the vsa modular pump during an initial self-check process that occurs shortly after each time the engine is started. It is possible for enough air to enter the system to result in a brake pedal that feels soft or lower to the floor.
Risk
If the owner does not have any brake service or maintenance performed over a period of months or years, the system can continue to accumulate enough air to affect braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Honda will notify owner and honda dealers will repair the vsa modulator by removing any existing air in the brake system then apply sealant and caps to prevent air from entering the brake system free of charge. The safety recall began on may 3, 2010. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
