2012 Honda Odyssey brakes problems

Filed Nov 23, 2022 · Brakes · SC

My break petal went soft - as in goes all the way to the floor - it has been looked at by 2 different mechanics - no warning lights, no sounds, just all of a sudden no breaks - it has all new break pads, master cylinder, rotors, etc… the break petal is as soft as can be. I can not stop suddenly.

My 2012 Honda Odyssey brake suddenly failed today. I felt the brake paddle was very soft and had to push all the way to the floor and the vehicle would slowly stop. I had to push very fast repeatedly to feel enough pressure on the paddle to stop the vehicle quickly. There is no indications on the instrument panel indicating the failure at all. My car is maintained regularly.

Without warning the breaks will not work. You have to push them all the way down and it sometimes lurches forward after breaking. I’ve had it looked at and they can find nothing wrong. This is a serious problem and needs recalled.

My wife's 2012 odyssey touring was parked on the ramp to our garage, with the emergency brake on. I released the brake and applied slight pressure to the accelerator with the car in reverse gear: it lurched backward and the brake could not stop it, though a neighbor's garage did. When I drove it forward to park it the car sped forward thirty feet or so before it obeyed the brake. The garage will need a new door -- at least -- but the car suffered minor damage, except that the taillights will not go off.

I have had to replace the brakes on my 2012 honda odyssey multiple times. The brakes vibrate excessively when the brakes are applied at normal highway speeds. This occurs frequently when I am driving down long hills or mountains. The vehicle is hard to control and the vehicle's steering wheel shakes excessively and is hard for my wife to control. I thought I may have had a unique problem but have read that many other have the same problem. In fact hnda has state that the disc design does not allow for the heat from braking to dissipate thus warping the disc. Honda considered it as maintenance issue and part of the braking system, but that is not true. Request assistnace in making this a recall issue for this critical safety issue!

When braking at high speeds or going down hill get vibration through steering wheel making it hard to control vehicle, literally shakes whole car

Have vibration up thru steering column. Problem originally became noticeable inside of 10,000 miles. By 36,000 miles shaking was severe when braking hard at high speed especially going downhill, but also noticeable, at lower in city driving speeds, when braking and after the brakes have been used and heated up. At 36,773 miles the dealer turned the rotors which eliminated the vibration for a time. But much like the condition when the car was new, the vibration, over time and use, has returned and is once again severe. This is caused by faulty design of the brake rotors which when heated up from use warp causing uneven wear of the brake pads which over time causes the vibration when braking. Honda covered half the cost for the repair at 36,773 miles. Doubt they'll do anything this time when I take the car in again for repair at 73,000 miles. Owners should not get stuck with costly repairs due to faulty design and/or manufacturing. This is a problem that has been prevalent of other model year odysseys and pilots.
