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

The brake rotors are faulty and become easily warped, causing severe shaking when braking, especially at higher speeds but generally overall. The Honda dealer admits this is a known problem but will not cover the issue under warranty. Our van has less than 50,000 miles, and the issue was first noticed around 20,000 miles. We've taken it to the dealer twice, and they offered to "resurface" the rotors for $170 or replace with "updated rotors" for $562 but declined to cover under warranty (we even purchased an extended warranty). I emailed the dealer with my concerns, and I was told they would be forwarded to management. I called Honda as well to register a complaint, and the Honda representative said she would forward our concerns to engineering.

While traveling home from a family trip to our local mountains, the steering wheel began to violently shutter while applying the brakes. The elevation change from big bear, California to the bottom of the hill in highland, California is approximately 5400 feet. I was not "riding" the brakes nor was I speeding. I only applied them to appropriately slow the vehicle in curves. I was concerned enough that I was not going to be able to affectively slow the vehicle, or control the vehicle, that I pulled over and inspected all four brake rotors and saw nothing visually. When resuming down the hill, the shuttering was much better for a couple of curves and then continued again. I was able to nurse the vehicle down the hill, until they were more straightaways and I needed the brakes less. The shuttering diminished upon less use/cooling. Upon researching this issue with my vehicle, I found that overheating of the brake rotors is extremely common on my Honda vehicle. I also learned that Honda is aware of the issue, so much so that they have redesigned the replacement rotors for my vehicle. The redesign includes rotor vents to help keep the rotors cool. I feel the design flaw of the original equipment rotors is a significant safety issue that should be addressed by Honda through a recall.

Like so many other Odyssey, the brakes vibrate and shake the steering wheel under heavy braking such as stopping at the bottom of a hill. Honda has come up with new part #, but they say not covered on our vehicle. Should not have to replace rotors & pads at 22000 miles.

- Mount Airy, MD, USA

Car has 53,000 miles on and while driving in speeds above 30 mph the steering wheel violently shakes and is worsens with increased speeds. This shakes my entire body, steering column and makes it difficult to control the wheel. I had already replaced both front and back pads and had rotors turned around 23K. All work done at Honda dealership

Honda Odyssey 2014 at less then 20,000 miles I got got a violent shake when breaking took it to the dealer and all they did was resurface the rotors. Now at 33,000 they are doing the same thing. Called Honda and they said that is normal brake wear. After driving for 40 yrs how or what type of material is Honda using for their rotors never happened on any past car with such low mileage. This is a major accident going to happen. Coming down a mountain road is dangerous look into this.

The steering wheel shakes when braking at highway speeds. This started at about 30,000 miles. I took the car to the dealer, and they immediately said I needed the brakes resurfaced before they even drove the car. This tells me they are aware of a recurring issue. At this point it was out of warranty at 38,000 miles because I had already purchased brand new tires thinking that was the problem. I had them align the tires that day, and the shaking did not go away. Honda needs to take responsibility and recall faulty brakes. They should not need costly repairs at this low mileage.

- Naples, FL, USA

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.

- Meadow Vista, CA, USA

At 20,000 miles, braking from freeway speeds started to cause shuddering and jerking of the steering wheel. We were able to live with it for a little while, but finally took it to the dealership at 27,960 miles, and were told the brake rotors were warped. The dealer resurfaced the rotors without our authorization and said they will not replace them, even though they are clearly defective (they show clear signs of heat damage). This is a common problem with this vehicle, and Honda has already discontinued the old rotor, and a new rotor is available, part # 45251-TK8-A02. Yet, Honda refuses to replace our defective rotors, making our vehicle dangerous and unsafe to drive. Refinishing the rotors will only temporarily fix the problem, but they will quickly overheat again, and Honda obviously just hopes this happens after our warranty expires. This is a relatively new vehicle (2 years), and still under warranty. We should not have to worry about the manufacturer refusing to honor their warranty, and the safety of our braking system due to defective parts.

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 brakes on our 2014 Odyssey started vibrating slightly when applied at 20,000 miles. Slowly the vibration has increased with time and is now very apparent at 28K. Our dealer claims that there is no service bulleten on the issue and it appears tha the brake rotors are warped and need to be resurfaced. However, we are very cautious drivers and hve never encountered this problem with any of our numerous other vehicles. Also, when looking for information on the problem on the web, it appears that this has been a longstanding issue that Honda appears to be avoiding. And simply put, trueing the rotors will only temporarly correct the problem and hasten a reacurrance! to say the least, this has been a very disappointing experience with our first Odyssey!

- Panama City, FL, USA

Brakes started vibrating fairly violently when descending hills at 10,000 miles. Informed that the brake rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced. This is the 3rd Honda vehicle that we have had and have gotten over 100,000 miles on Pilot and CRV without this happening. Therefore it is not due to driving habits.

- Coopersburg, PA, USA

24,000 miles on our car and it is only 2 years old and we were told our front rotors were warped and needed to be machined. I had call the service dept. When we were under 20,000miles and was told the sqeaky noise was from the rain and the water getting onto the brake pads... ya ok. $120 + labor + taxes later and I was told it was due to my driving style.. which I do not "ride the brakes" nor do I "break hard". we have never had an issue like this with any other car. My husbands Chevy Malibu has over 100,000 miles on it and this is the second time we have had to have his brakes done. I am very frustrated with this and I think it should be under warranty or some sort of recall on the rotors.

- Kokomo, IN, USA

Our 2014 Honda Odyssey has 41,000 miles on it and we have had to have new brakes three times and rotors resurfaced twice. We just had to have a bent axle replaced. The new axle was also bent so a third one had to be installed.

- El Dorado Hills, CA, USA

Car vibrates and shakes on application of brakes. Have had to have brake rotors repaired or replaced on three different occasions started at 10,000 miles. It is not covered under warranty

- Grand Blanc, MI, USA

30K miles had to have my rotors resurfaced due to warping. This is my wife's car and she drives it like an old lady so I know it's not her driving style. Seems like this is a common complaint for this vehicle.

- Elmhurst, IL, USA

I was slowing down to perform three-point turn to park in garage. Slowly (<5mph) approaching end of first arc, I pressed the brakes to stop. It was snowing and slippery, and there was a slight skid of vehicle. I pressed harder on brakes to stop, which resulted in revving of the engine and crash of vehicle into wall/garage support. I looked down to confirm my foot was only contacting the brake pedal. I placed the vehicle in park to comprehend what had just occurred. I placed the vehicle in reverse to complete 2nd arc of three-point turn, and completed parking in the garage.

At 29,000 miles, March of 2015, rotors had to be re-surfaced. At that time mechanic stated they where having a lot of problems with Odyssey rotors as the rotor was too small for the weight of the Odyssey. Mechanic and serive writer stated that all it took to wrapp rotors was one semi-hard stop. Dealer re-surface rotor under warranty, but would not replace brake pads that had a groove in them from wrapped rotor. Now at 44,000 miles, Nov.3, 2015, rotors are wrapped again and need to be replaced. Dealer refuses to do anything about this problem. I believe this is a safety problem Honda should take care of by replacing rotors with a heavy duty rotor and new brake pads.

- Sun City Center, FL, USA

At roughly 35,000, I was told that the rotors were warped and needed resurfacing. I've owned multiple cars and never had a brake issue with such low mileage. Car shakes excessively upon breaking and could cause accident - it is worse at higher speeds. This seems to be an issue in many Honda and which could be responsible for accidents.

- Forest Hill, MD, USA

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Odyssey. While driving 30 mph changing from a paved to an unpaved lane, the brake pedal sank to the floor and the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The vehicle was shifted into park and turned off. After restarting the engine, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000.
