In owners' own words
The car will not stop unless the driver exert a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. The car was brought into the dealership on multiple occasions. The dealership changed the master cylinder and stated that is the characteristic of the car for the remaining visits. Honda posted a fix on january 14, 2009 on service bulletin 07-045. The fix should be a recall because it reduces the stopping distance of the vehicle. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 15,000 miles
2007 Odyssey lx had been driven for 40 minutes when we came to a red light and braked as normal. The vehicle did not stop until halfway through the intersection. Fortunately, there was no accident. This vehicle has had soft brakes for a while so I have adjusted my braking, giving it a long run to stop, but this time even that wasn't enough. The Honda dealer told us that the braking system is working fine! Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 24,900 miles
