We purchased a 2012 honda odyssey on february 18, 2012 from spreen honda. we receive 3 free oil changes and tire rotations. the first oil change did not include a tire rotation, but the service department stated that the brakes were in great shape. the 2nd oil change included a tire rotation. this was approx. in june of 2012. after the tire rotation, we experienced some shaking at higher speeds when we applied the brakes. took the vehicle back to spreen honda and jim, the service manager stated the rotors were warped and it was from 'the heat'. he resurfaced them for free under the warranty. in june of 2013, we had both front and rear brakes replaced. the rotors were resurfaced as part of the brake installation. we replaced all four tires in march of 2014. this was the 2nd set of new tires for this van. an oil change and tire rotation was done by firestone on 5/3/2014. we experienced shaking when applying brakes, especially down hill. returned vehicle to firestone and talked to the manager. he did a brake inspection and stated the rotors were warped and they didn't have enough surface on them to resurface so they would need to be replaced. looked over my records for the toyota camry i traded in to see that there was not a history of misuse of brakes and the rotors were replaced after five years. called honda and spoke to their recall department who told me there were no recalls. received another call from honda who told me there was nothing he can do and noted the account. told him that i am looking further into this matter and will take it from there. called the service manager at spreen honda and have yet to receive a call back regarding this matter. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I have owned this car from when it was new. every 3000 miles the brakes and rotors have gone bad. they have been resurfaced and replaced by honda 2 times. each time the issue of vibration from the front and rear brakes recurred. i have since ran out of warranty (60k miles on the odo). at 50k i replaced the rotors and pads with aftermarket. those too have warped. the brakes for this vehicle are simply too small and overwhelmed or there is something else entirely wrong with these vans. i see almost half of the complaints are about this same issue, yet honda has done nothing to address it. honda quality of the past seems to be gone as all prior honda's were bullet proof. this one has been nothing but trouble. *tr
