I noticed the problem about a year ago and contacted the Honda Dealer, South Bay Honda. They said to bring it in and they would fix the problem for $250. The problem only occurs when you are going fast, over 70 mph, and you put on the brakes. Since this does not happen often we have not had it repaired. I also believe it should be repaired under the warranty, but the dealer has refused. They even hung up on me when I made the suggestion. Great way to respond!

Brakes wear out prematurely. I get a shimmy when applying braking at speed. Honda says its because I live on a hill. but my 01 odyssey never had this problem. They did a courtesy grind of the rotors and it was okay for about a week. then problem returned. No accidents from shimmy buy jezz.. its a Honda. What gives? They must know about this problem... step up Honda!!!

Service manager instantly knew the issue when we described it to him.

Searched for TSB, but could find none. Certain he had seen a few other Pilots or Odyssees with the same issue - low mileage and warped rotors.
