Vehicle shakes violently when applying brakes. Warped rotors time after time. Replacement last a few months. Way to many people are having this issue with this particular vehicle. Please look into this! I truly feel there is a design flaw.

When driving over 100 miles the front brake rotors warp causing a safety problem honda knows this as they have a new rotor that is vented (see bulletin a14-00080) that fits from 2011 to 2014 odyssey I think they should be recalled as it is a dangerous thing brakes are the most important thing on the car

Front rotors warped after 12000 miles. Complaints to honda dealer. Told this is normal. No replacement offered. This is a safety issue and a recall should be initiated.

Brake rotors warped with very few (20k or less) miles. Dealer stated it was not covered under warranty. Every report I found online stated that resurfaced rotors ended up warping again in a short amount of time. I have found that honda has recently changed out the rotors they use to try and combat this problem, though, never formally issuing a recall or notice to everyone that has been hit by this issue.

The car has been shaking (steering wheel specifically) when braking. This has been going on for about 5000 miles but I didn't realize it was an issue. Upon review it was found front brake pads are 80% and back are 50% but front rotors are warped. Dealer is not covering as 'under warranty' saying that warped rotors are driver wear. Everything I'm reading online says that this is happening to a lot of 2011-2014 odysseys and that there are mixed results on dealers covering under warranty. I do not drive aggressively and do not drive mountains/hills. I've had 5 honda's including one other odyssey we drove for 9 years and never had this problem. I'm also reading it has been shown to happen repeatedly at low mileage rates. I will add another claim if this happens again.

The honda odyssey has terrible brake shimmying, especially under a little more load/higher speeds or down hills. There are a large number of complaints about this exact problem and that the under-sized rotors warp extremely easily. Honda does not cover this under warranty and even the repair rep knew it was a known issue. Honda knows about the issue, it affects all recent years of the odyssey yet nothing is done about it. I believe it's a safety issue.
