1. Vibration when braking
Often with Hondas, a common problem reported is vibration in the brakes. This can be caused by the brake rotors. It may cause a shaking, vibrating, rattling noise and often can be felt in the vehicle. Rotors will need to be looked at by a mechanic to see if they need to be replaced or if they can be fixed. If they’re worn too thin they may need replacement. Contact Hansma to book your appointment today.
2. Fluid overheating
The Odyssey had a major issue of the transmission fluid overheating. Because of this overheating issue, the internal components would not get enough cooling and this causes the transmission to fail, a common problem in a number of Hondas. If you are looking to have your transmission repaired contact Hansma today.
3. Power door lock failure
