Bought 2007 Honda Odyssey in December of 2007 and there was a problem with the brakes 2 weeks after the purchase. Initially, when the brake pedal is pressed, the vehicle would vibrate. I went to dealer to get it fixed; the rotors were adjusted which solved that problem, but 2 months later, a new problem started new problem started where the brakes were too soft and therefore had to be pushed to the floor completely for the vehicle to stop. They had done some temporary fix which meant that we had go to the dealer every 2 months, then after 3 visits they have replaced the VSA Modulator. Again after 2 months, the same problem started again, so we went to the dealer again; this time replaced VSA Modulator with Master cylinder (just 2 weeks back). And again I see the problem.
If anyone can suggest what I should do?

I bought 2007 Honda Odyssey in 12/2006. Loves the engine feel and ride, but after 500miles or so, I noticed its brake was really soft/mushy. The symptom got worse and the near-by dealer replaced the master cylinder under warranty. It improved the brake feeling little but not much. It requires a strong foot to stop this heavy car. Also, when applying brake on a corner, ABS kicks in and it si truly scary. Dealer says they found no issues with the system. Honda should do something about brake ASAP or lawsuits are foreseeable.

The brake is very soft/mushy, takes a lot of force to stop the car. This could be dangerous. We might rear end someone some day. Honda better respond to situation or else there could be lawsuit in the future.

Odyssey 3.5L
We bought this vehicle new. Since the time of purchase the brake pedal became softer and softer.
One night while exiting an expressway, I pressed the brake pedal to slow the car down because the cars in front were coming to a stop. The pedal was soft and continued to go down while slowing the car in a disproportional amount. At some point the brakes decided not to stop the car and let the car go. I had to pump the brake and swerve around the car stopped in front of me.
This was really scary and not what I expected from a Honda.
If you have had this problem or even just the soft brake pedal please report it to the National Highway Safety Commission. Honda needs someone to help them fix this very dangerous problem.
