At first thought new tires would fix since left front was badly worn on outside tread and need other new tires anyway. Tire dealer found bad bad left front bearing which dealer fixed under warranty even though 3k over 36k limit. Dealer would not cover turning down rotors to fix shake during heavy braking from 60mph. Even after new tires and turned rotors still get grinding sound. Shake during braking is reduced.

Even though I get Ford employee pricing on Windstar I would not touch. Had Mazda MPV before this and got rid at 65k miles during to engine trouble. Probably turn this in after 8 more months on lease and maybe get a Kia or Hyundai.

Our Honda Odyssey is great however ever since it was new we have experienced a grinding sound in our brakes on level surfaces and especially on hilly terrain. It is not like we "ride" the brakes either. It is NORMAL braking conditions and it only takes going down a few hills and it starts up. Even on level pavement it will occur if we make any repeated braking. Once again, it is not like I was standing on the brake pedal trying to lock up the brakes or something. I put my work car through ten times the abuse and the brakes don't do this at all. I have never had any car with brakes this sensitive!!!!, especially right out of the factory. I haven't taken it to the dealer expecting that they would just tell me that I am too hard on the brakes. However, I am going to take it in now that I have seen others with the same problem!

It took the Honda service guys multiple visits before they found the real problem and fixed it. When the brakes were applied between 10 and 36 mph, it made a wobbling rubbing sound, as if something was out of round. So 1st they resurfaced the rotors. This worked for 1 day. Next, they tried resurfacing again, this time very slowly to get it very flat. Still, the problem came back. Next, they gave me new rotors and pads. This worked for a few days. Finally, they replaced the "hub" and then the problem was actually solved for good. How in the world does a Hub get out of round?
