I was in a parking lot going less than 5 miles an hour and was turning right into a parking space. my foot was on the brake, but the car lurched forward and accelerated over the cement chock block, hitting a pole in front of the store.
We purchased this vehicle brand new. overall it has been excellent, but it does have one horrible safety flaw. the brakes heat up and warp on even a small hill and cause the steering to shake terribly when breaking. the dealer will fix the problem, for a premium of course, and you are good to go for several months. then it comes right back. this is a known problem, and i'm really surprised that honda hasn't been forced to do a recall since they won't do one on their own. they call it "wear and tear". yeah, right. it's so common that the dealer specifically asks about it every time we come in for an oil change or whatever. "any issues with shaking during breaking?" sorry, but you will never get me to believe that this is a normal question every time a car comes in for service. we've paid for the "repairs" a few times, but i can't afford to keep paying for the same parts over and over again. so now i just answer yes, but that it's not shaking enough to pay for the temporary repairs again. ...
Pulsation/shaking of the steering wheel and brake pedal to the point of feeling like going to lose control of the vehicle when braking at speeds higher than 45 - 55 mph. have had to have rotors resurfaced twice to take care of the problem (1st in 2015 at 24,177 miles but under warranty, 2nd in 2017 at $204 and the problem came back again at 51,542). now being told to resurface them once more or replace front brakes and pads for $668 and if replaced will be with the new design of the rotors allows for more air flow. if there is a new design, then obviously honda knows that there was a problem with the old design and should have done a recall. in researching the issues online (carscomplaints.com, repairpal.com) many other people seem to have the same complaint. i've never had to had rotors resurfaced so many times.

Before my car reached the 20,000 mile age the car starts to shake when hitting the brakes when decelerating at 50-30 mph speed. asked the dealership if they can check what is wrong. they said the brakes are fine. i thought it was a wheel balance issue but the car is new. not until i read all of the complaints about this car. now my car is 57,000 miles old and will need the rotor and pads replaced. outside mechanic charging me $450 for rotor replacement, pads and labor.
My brakes vibrate when slowing down on the freeway, occasionally while driving on surface streets when slowing down for lights. i first noticed this several months after purchase. i took the van in asked for the brakes to be checked. the vibrating stopped for several weeks then started back up. i returned to the dealership and they checked the tires. it stopped again for several weeks then started back up again. i took the van in and asked for the rotors to be turned. that again helped for a few weeks and the vibrating returned. it is frustrating and scary to feel the vibration in my steering wheel and if i brake hard to feel the van pull to the right. i have explained this problem to the service technician but there seems to be nothing they can do to fix this problem. i complain about it but cannot afford to continue to take it in and get no satisfactory repairs. at one point i came home and aired up my tires and that seemed to help for about 3 months. then the vibration is back again. ...

Original owner of 2013 honda odyssey, noticed significant steering wheel vibration at 35k miles while going down or at highway speeds while slowing down unexpectedly. it made me grab the steering wheel harder to try to steady the wheels so we don't drive off the cliff. i believe it poses a danger as it creates a situation where such steering wheel vibration and tires vibration can cause a dangerous situation in which the control over vehicle could be lost along with lives of those in the car. i have just replaced the tires, which was not the cause of the vibration. the car is in good standing as all recommended services were completed timely. when contacted the local honda dealer, they said that rotors needs to be resurfaced. but as i am reading on this site and others, this could be an endless and expensive recurrent service. this vehicle is designed to be a family vehicle, therefore it shouldn't be a standard when rotors come out of functionality as soon as vehicle is out of factory.
My front brake rotors were unsafely shuddering at 31,000 miles and i had them repaired on 6/29/2016. now, they are shuddering again at 44,341, on 6/7/2017. there are many similar complaints easily found on the internet were drivers, similar to me, are alarmed by a seeming unsafe and defective overall brake system on the 2013 honda odyssey, and similar year models. the shuddering can be severe when braking between 50 to 70 mph. there are many other cases similar to mine where people are repairing them and then the unsafe shuddering reoccurs again in just a few thousand miles. the van has been adult drive for its entire history, with 4 small children and adults as occupants.
I was inside the vehicle at the back seat, vehicle was stationary on park, and foot break was on. i was on my sister in laws driveway which is slightly inclined, i was waiting for my husband who went inside the house, however i decided to follow him. i went out of the vehicle, and went to open the driver's side door to reach the key and turn off the vehicle; unfortunately, when i turned off the engine, the vehicle starts rolling, i was knocked down by the opened door and fell on the driveway, with my left leg/ more on the ankle area was run over by the front wheel. these resulted with severe bruise on my ankle, and huge bump on my head. there was no witness, however there was a car that passed and i i asked for help, the driver called by husband who is inside the house, also a neighbor came to help and called 911. by husband looked inside the vehicle which slide towards the front neighbors driveway, the vehicle stopped, still on "p" mode and foot break is still on. the vehicle on p and ...

Rotars warp prematurely. my vehicle has 124,000 miles on it and around every 25,000 or so the front rotars have symptoms of being warpied. then the brakes and rotars need replacing.
When pulling out of my driveway, my brakes would not engage. it was simply as if they were not there.
While driving in the mountains of colorado while on vacation our steering wheel was violently shaking and vibrating while braking downhill. this was very scary for our family from illinois to experience. we scheduled immediate repairs at the shop nearest us on 6/22/2015 with 36,206 miles on our honda odyssey. we had new rotors on front and rear replaced and front brakes $685. unfortunately, while on a road trip to see family in michigan we again experienced shaking of the steering wheel upon braking. on 12/2/2016 57,428 miles we again had to pay for rear rotors and brakes. we have never experienced the frequency of repairs (we trust our repair guy) in any of our other vehicles (fords and chevys). our van is usually driven around town with kid's activities. expressway and high speed driving is limited. this is our first honda. then on 12/10/2016 with 57,569 miles the engine light and vsa (vehicle stability assist) light stays on. turns out spark plugs 1 and 2 fouling..i'm seeing there are complaints here about these same issues. i contacted honda regarding the spark plugs and they said there is an extension to cover this ...
