2012 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

AFTER 12K MILES MY VEHICLES BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WARPED DESPITE NO BRAKE ABUSE OR ABNORMAL DRIVING. HIGH SPEED STOPPED IS AFFECTED BY LACK OF STABILITY. REVIEWING NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS, ONLINE PUBLICATIONS ETC I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR HAS EXTREMELY HIGH RATES OF SEVERE BRAKE WARPAGE WITH NORMAL USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT CHANGED THEIR BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIAL TO COUNTER ACT THE ISSUE.

JUDDER AND VIBRATES AND MAKES BUZZING SOUND CONSTANTLY BUT INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER AND HONDA STATE THIS IS IN RELATION TO THE ECO FEATURE. RESEARCH BY ME INDICATES EITHER TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR REAR MOTOR MOUNT NEEDS REPLACING. IT SEEMS THE ISSUE IS WORSENING AS I WAS TOLD BY MY HONDA SERVICE TECH THAT IT WILL GET WORSE THE MORE MILES DRIVEN. PRESENTLY HAS 40K MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR LOST POWER ON OPEN HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO HONDA SERVICE...(UNRELATED) TO VIBRATION ISSUE. DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND THAT TOOK CARE OF POWER ISSUE. *TR
