The van I bought was on 3/28/2010, the brake pad was very soft, I had to press very deep down, I have been to the Honda dealer 3 times already for the same problems, but every time they found something wrong/broken, I had to pay out of my pocket. First was masterly cylinders has internal failure, , they replaced master cylinder on the date of 01/03/13, then they found air in brake fluid line and front rotors to be badly rusted, so they replaced front pads and machined front rotors on the date of 03/15/13, and then they found rear pads and rotors to be warped, they replaced the rear pads and rotors. Also the check engine light kept going on and off, I went to the dealer as well, this is they found code P0171 fuel system too lean, on the date of 05/28/13, and 06/14/13., I took my car there again today the dealer still holding my car. The automatic door sometime doesn't closed all the way.

I drive my van with my family every day and at freeway speed. When I need to brake the van starts shaking and the pedal pulse is very scary. I took it to john Eagle in houston, and they told me the pads still had 60% life left. If I can live with this until the van gets repairs on all the brakes, or replace everything. But Honda does not have warranty on the brakes. The van is new, not safe, and without warranty.
When braking at 60 mph or higher, the front end of the vehicle shimmies. The steering wheel shakes violently in my hands. Once the speed is below 60 mph, the shimmy stops. I took it to mcgrath Honda in Chicago and after an inspection I was told the front brakes were new and that the rear brakes needed replacement. They said their mechanic thought the shake was being caused by the rear brakes!! I agreed to let them repair the rear brakes. The problem still exists.I may have purchased rear brakes needlessly! I have looked on the internet and found several complaints that are like mine. I have also read that some owner's had the rotors replaced and they still have the problem. I am wondering as to the number of similar complaints that will cause the NHTSA to investigate this problem.
