Brakes are too soft/mushy. Brakes don't work properly most of the time. It takes increasing pressure to stop vehicle. Sometimes the vehicle lurches forward after it stops which causes you to be out in intersections, past stop signs and possibly hit another vehicle. On Friday June 6, 08 the brakes failed again, this time at 60-65 mph. Another vehicle driving too fast swerving in & out of traffic pulled in front of me that required me to brake in order to avoid another accident. When pressure applied the vehicle did not slow down until brake pedal nearly touched the floor. W/ some great defensive driving an accident was avoided. A recent test drive by the dealership and they were unable to recreate the brakes problem. Upon taking the keys back, I had to depress the brake pedal nearly to the floor in order to shift into drive. I put the vehicle in park and returned to the service mgr to have him go on a test drive w/ me. He refused. I asked him 4X's to please test drive it with me driving. He said that he drove the vehicle, the district somebody drove the vehicle as well as a technician. He again stated nothing wrong w/ brakes. I left the dealership with the following information : 10dpsm/sm drove vehicle testing brakes. Competed panic stops at 40 mph, 20 mph. Brakes operated as designed. Tech drove vehicle while testing brakes and pedal stiffness. Panic stops at 10, 20, 30, 40 & 45 mph. Swerve side to side to test vsa as well. All systems operate as designed. I want to note that only 11.5 miles were put on the van during their "test" of it.they did not test it under my normal driving conditions. I don't feel the vehicle was adequately test driven. The brakes will work off an on, but the longer it is driven and the more the brakes are used during that drive, the less reliable they become. Honda refuses to acknowledge that there may be problems with the brakes on their 2007 model vans despite all the info sent to them from the nhsta site.

2007 Honda LX brake pedal is soft and variable when applied. Sometimes it 'brakes' near the top of the pedal, sometimes in the middle of the push of the pedal, and has on several occasions gone inexplicably to within 1/2 inch of the floor.

While parking at daycare, turn into parking spot, brakes fail. Brakes are pumped to the floor 5 times before hitting a large boulder causing major damage to suspension and frame. Also, airbags did not deploy, yet seatbelt locked in place. Dealer is doing repair since there is potential safety issue with the brakes. However after 55 days, still waiting for return of vehicle. Turns out computer regulating airbags failed as well. 2 defects that if the brakes had failed just 3 minutes sooner would no doubt have been a fatal accident on an interstate highway.
