Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Owners report a delayed brake response where the pedal must be pushed nearly to the floor before the vehicle slows, sometimes leading to rear-end crashes.
  • Some describe the pedal feeling firm but the van continuing to slide forward at low speeds, resulting in impacts with the vehicle ahead.
  • Several report vibration or shimmying in the steering wheel and front end when braking at higher highway speeds.
  • Owners describe the traction control or ABS activating unexpectedly during turns at low speeds, which one owner linked to a yaw rate sensor also flagged in an earlier recall on older Odyssey models.
  • A few report the vehicle behaving abnormally during low-speed turns, requiring extra force on the brake pedal to stop.
