TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY I COULD NOT STOP I PRESSED THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING STOPPED ONLY BY HITTING OUR AIR CONDITIONER AVOIDING OUR HOME. THERE WAS STILL BRAKE FLUID BUT THINKING IT WAS THE CYLINDER, NO INDICATION OR LIGHT CAME ON THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2016 Honda Odyssey verdict →
