I was trying to trying to stop my 2007 Honda Odyssey very quickly to avoid hitting the car in front of me and hit the brakes only to have nothing happen. The car wouldn't stop until it hit the car in front - the pedal was to the floor. I had previously talked with Honda about the brake pads and researched online and discovered "squishy" brake problems, but no solutions. After the accident I talked with Honda who was just releasing a safety recall for low/soft brake pedal : "air may enter the modulator due to improper sealing material of the vsa modulator control unit". they bled brakes using special procedure and installed (2) modulator sealing caps over the two (2) plugs on the sides of the vsa modulator-control unit to correct per bulletin 1030A5 (element).6 & 4130A5 (Odyssey).7.

2007 Odyssey with soft brakes. The recall fix was done in summer 2010. About late November 2010 early December 2010, I noticed the brakes felt soft again. On 12/13/2010, I took car into Honda dealership for a rotation/oil change and to check the brakes. Again, there was air in the brake line. The same problem again that the recall solution was supposed to fix. Supposedly it was fixed this time. I drove it home, about 6 miles, and parked it for about 5 minutes. My wife got in the vehicle and drove about 1 mile when she called saying the brakes were randomly going from really soft to her not being able to press the brake pedal an inch. She immediately parked the car and was scared to death. Ultimately, we had it towed back to the same Honda dealership. Prior to the tow, the vsa light and vsa indicator stayed on and then went off. All this info was provided to "mike" at the Honda dealership...immediately...and I mean immediately...Honda agreed to pay the tow, fix the problem and provide me a rental. The car is to be fixed on 12/14/2010. This is not good. Honda corporate.....are you listening....you have a serious problem...you know it....fix it before you end up in court paying millions in miserable comfort to relatives of lost loved ones...by the way my wife and kids are in that vehicle everyday...get my point?

On July 12, 2010, I took our 2007 Honda Odyssey) mel rapton Honda for the brake recall requested by Honda America. I was called at 12:20 P.M. by your service department and advised that the vehicle was ready to be picked up. At 2:00 P.M., I arrived, picked up the vehicle and proceeded to maita Toyota to pick up my husband where he was having our Toyota serviced. As I approached the very first stop light at fulton and the entrance to I-80, I applied the brakes and with my foot pressed completely to the floor and the vehicle did not stop. I ran the stop light, and was very fortunate that I did not hit anyone. At the second light I came upon at auburn and fulton was green and I made a right hand turn into the Toyota dealership where I once again could not stop the vehicle and hit the concrete parking barrier, scratching the front right bumper. I promptly called my husband and informed him I thought something was wrong with the vehicle, but was not sure what to do since my assumption was the brakes were fully inspected and functional prior to me leaving mel rapton Honda. I called back to mel rapton service department, leaving a message for the service advisor anthony motley that something was not right with my brakes. The service advisor called me back asking that I drive the car back to mel rapton, even though I stated I believed that I had no functional brakes beyond the emergency brake. I cauiously drove the vehicle back, I had to apply the emergency brakes twice in order stop the vehicle and avoid running any more red lights or hitting other vehicles. I was shocked that your service advisor suggested that I drive the vehicle back to the dealership when there was some problem with the braking system. The vsa modulator light came on as I drove the vehicle back. They said they "repaired" the vsa and brakes, but never the damage to the front of the vehicle, mel rapton refuses to respond to requests for repairs and Honda America isn't helping.
