2014 Honda Odyssey Brakes Problems

Engine surge when appying brake. This has occurred approximately 6 times in 2024 and happens when applying brakes when coming to a stop. Please note previous reports regarding engine surge when braking.

AFTER GETTING A CAR WASH FROM AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH, WHILE DRIVING TO A PARKING STALL TO VACUUM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT INTO THE PARKING STALL AND BRAKING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REV'D, ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE OVER A PARKING CURB BLOCK AND INTO A POLE AT THE CAR WASH. THE RESULTING COLLISION HAPPENED ACROSS THE SPAN OF HALF A PARKING SPACE AND KNOCKED THE VEHICLE BACKWARDS A COUPLE FEET AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE POLE. THE COLLISION TRIGGERED BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS AND RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE OF THE CAR WASH.

THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL. ROUGH AND DELAYED SHIFTS. MY CAR MINIVAN ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT.

AT 26608 MILES FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED. HONDA DEALER DID THIS AT 'NO CHARGE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY.' ROTORS VIBRATED AGAIN AT 50000 MILES AND WERE REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY WITH NON HONDA PARTS. NOW AGAIN AT 70000 MILES THE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE. BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AS WELL WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH SO MANY OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.

WE HAVE HAD ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH OUR ROTORS. THEY HAD TO BE MACHINED AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES AND REPLACE AFTER 30,000 MILES. WE REPLACED THEM WITH HIGH END NAPA ROTORS SINCE WE DID NOT TRUST HONDA ROTORS AND HONDA REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. NOW AT 54,000 MILES, THE BRAKES ARE SHIMMYING AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONCORD HONDA (1461 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (855) 679-6829) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AND UPGRADED FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKE ROTORS - DO I REALLY NEED TO GO INTO DETAIL? 54,000 MILES AND FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE AND NOW THE REAR NEED IT AS WELL. SEVERE SHIMMYING/VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAUSES INCONSISTENT REACTION FORCES BETWEEN THE TIRE AND ROAD SURFACE THAT COULD CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE RESPONSE! DOES A CHILD NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? DOES ANYONE READ THESE COMPLAINTS? IS HONDA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? HOW HAS THE NHTSA NOT PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS? COME GET MY VAN AND TRY IT OUT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,858.

FRONT BRAKE ROTOS HAD TO BE TURNED AT LESS THAN 20K MILES. AT 36K I HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. VIOLENT SHAKING BETWEEN 60-75 HR WHEN BRAKING. NORMAL CITY DRIVING. HEAD TO DEALER ON 22 NOV

THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BREAKS. WE ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON THE CAR. WE LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WE DON'T DRIVE FAST ANYWHERE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH HONDA HAS HAD BAD ROTORS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART ON THEIR TIME. SINCE THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE ROTOR, WHICH HAS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THE NEED TO CHANGE THE ROTORS AFTER 30K MILES. THIS ISSUES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR DRIVING STYLE BUT WITH OUR FAULT FART. I GUESS HONDA WILL WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE REPLACING THIS. THIS WILL BE OUR LAST HONDA.

WHEN DRIVING OVER 100 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM HONDA KNOWS THIS AS THEY HAVE A NEW ROTOR THAT IS VENTED (SEE BULLETIN A14-00080) THAT FITS FROM 2011 TO 2014 ODYSSEY I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A DANGEROUS THING BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THE CAR

THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE FAULTY AND BECOME EASILY WARPED, CAUSING SEVERE SHAKING WHEN BRAKING, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT GENERALLY OVERALL. THE HONDA DEALER ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT COVER THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. OUR VAN HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, AND THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED AROUND 20,000 MILES. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND THEY OFFERED TO "RESURFACE" THE ROTORS FOR $170 OR REPLACE WITH "UPDATED ROTORS" FOR $562 BUT DECLINED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY (WE EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY). I EMAILED THE DEALER WITH MY CONCERNS, AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE FORWARDED TO MANAGEMENT. I CALLED HONDA AS WELL TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, AND THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE WOULD FORWARD OUR CONCERNS TO ENGINEERING.

CAR HAS 53,000 MILES ON AND WHILE DRIVING IN SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND IS WORSENS WITH INCREASED SPEEDS. THIS SHAKES MY ENTIRE BODY, STEERING COLUMN AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE WHEEL. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK PADS AND HAD ROTORS TURNED AROUND 23K. ALL WORK DONE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A FAMILY TRIP TO OUR LOCAL MOUNTAINS, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ELEVATION CHANGE FROM BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL IN HIGHLAND, CALIFORNIA IS APPROXIMATELY 5400 FEET. I WAS NOT "RIDING" THE BRAKES NOR WAS I SPEEDING. I ONLY APPLIED THEM TO APPROPRIATELY SLOW THE VEHICLE IN CURVES. I WAS CONCERNED ENOUGH THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFECTIVELY SLOW THE VEHICLE, OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE, THAT I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS AND SAW NOTHING VISUALLY. WHEN RESUMING DOWN THE HILL, THE SHUTTERING WAS MUCH BETTER FOR A COUPLE OF CURVES AND THEN CONTINUED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HILL, UNTIL THEY WERE MORE STRAIGHTAWAYS AND I NEEDED THE BRAKES LESS. THE SHUTTERING DIMINISHED UPON LESS USE/COOLING. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKE ROTORS IS EXTREMELY COMMON ON MY HONDA VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE REDESIGN INCLUDES ROTOR VENTS TO HELP KEEP THE ROTORS COOL. I FEEL THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTORS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA THROUGH A RECALL.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 AT LESS THEN 20,000 MILES I GOT GOT A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN BREAKING TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ALL THEY DID WAS RESURFACE THE ROTORS. NOW AT 33,000 THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT IS NORMAL BRAKE WEAR. AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 YRS HOW OR WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL IS HONDA USING FOR THEIR ROTORS NEVER HAPPENED ON ANY PAST CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT GOING TO HAPPEN. COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN ROAD IS DANGEROUS LOOK INTO THIS.

MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 SHAKES WHEN I BRAKE ON SPEED 40 MILES THAT DANGEROUS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, HONDA NEED TO RECALL SAFETY FOR THAT PROBLEM.

LIKE SO MANY OTHER ODYSSEYS, THE BRAKES VIBRATE AND SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER HEAVY BRAKING SUCH AS STOPPING AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. HONDA HAS COME UP WITH NEW PART #, BUT THEY SAY NOT COVERED ON OUR VEHICLE. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE ROTORS & PADS AT 22000 MILES.

AT 20,000 MILES, BRAKING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS STARTED TO CAUSE SHUDDERING AND JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 27,960 MILES, AND WERE TOLD THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION AND SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE (THEY SHOW CLEAR SIGNS OF HEAT DAMAGE). THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND HONDA HAS ALREADY DISCONTINUED THE OLD ROTOR, AND A NEW ROTOR IS AVAILABLE, PART # 45251-TK8-A02. YET, HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE OUR DEFECTIVE ROTORS, MAKING OUR VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. REFINISHING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL QUICKLY OVERHEAT AGAIN, AND HONDA OBVIOUSLY JUST HOPES THIS HAPPENS AFTER OUR WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE (2 YEARS), AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY, AND THE SAFETY OF OUR BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS.

THE BRAKES ON OUR 2014 ODYSSEY STARTED VIBRATING SLIGHTLY WHEN APPLIED AT 20,000 MILES. SLOWLY THE VIBRATION HAS INCREASED WITH TIME AND IS NOW VERY APPARENT AT 28K. OUR DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETEN ON THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THA THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED. HOWEVER, WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVERS AND HVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES. ALSO, WHEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING ISSUE THAT HONDA APPEARS TO BE AVOIDING. AND SIMPLY PUT, TRUEING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HASTEN A REACURRANCE! TO SAY THE LEAST, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH OUR FIRST ODYSSEY!

AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES, OUR ODYSSEY STARTED TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
