I spoke with the dealer service dept., they said it was normal. I feel that it is a safety problem & will keep on them about it contact Honda. possibly a mastercylinder or caliper problem? part of the time I can "pump" the pedal (push it a second or third time) & get fuller pedal. on first push it feels like only partial braking, on second or third it feels more like all four brakes are working. I have had it for a year now & it hasn't gotten any better but I only have about 5000 miles on it.
Update from Feb 17, 2020: dealership replaced the mastercylinder, pedal does not go to the floor now but still have to "pump the brakes " to get solid pedal (for the last 20.000 miles) & they did bleed the brakes when replacing the mastercylinder. saw they had problems with odesseys & called honda, no satisfaction.
