The pads showed relatively even wear thickness to my recollection… it’s been over a year since the last replacement. I’ll check Carmax, but it was purchased in Southern CA. THANK YOU! ---

> [@common\_sense\_answer](#): > > So, Honda should have issued a TSB for chronic brake shimmy that advises technicians to remove and discard any wheel covers and install cheap after-market brake pads? I don’t expect Honda, or any other manufacturer, to issue a TSB based on one person’s experience. I have no way of knowing whether the problem was caused by Honda, my driving habits, or some other factor. ---

Oregon’s rural interstate speed limit is 65 mph with trucks and vehicles towing trailers limited to 55 mph. Urban interstates are 55 or 60 mph. The highest exit speed I have seen posted is 50 mph. I wonder how long the yellow light is on that 75 mph traffic signal? ---

Not knowing what this left turn with light actually looks like here is what I would do if tailgating and having to stop quickly in a short space. I would stay in the right lane and turn right, find a safe place to turn around and the go through the intersection on a green light. The little cost of time and fuel means nothing compared to the possible accident. ---

I’m not sure that the OP’s definition of a hard stop is the same as mine. There are a number of off ramps here that fit the description of @hgkk1218’s situation and some with 70 mph speed limits that are generally ignored and I don’t consider any of them a hard stop. The highway department has guidelines for off ramps and as far as I know, none would involve a hard stop. In my opinion, OEM pads and an occasional hard stop, almost up to skidding or anti-lock kicking in, would solve their problem. ---

For what it’s worth… my wife drives a 2012 Odyssey. Has about 70K miles; we bought it used 2 years ago with maybe 40K miles. Just recently, on a trip, I noticed the steering wheel shaking up and down when braking at highways speeds. I knew it was the front rotors. We got them replaced (just the rotors; I replaced the brake pads a few months ago myself) for around $250. Problem solved. It brakes like a brand new van now. Good luck to you. ---

I hate to bash the profession, but it’s quite possible that all 3 of those places are assuming and all 3 are wrong. The brake shudder complaint generally leads to a warped rotors diagnosis even before the car is test driven or put on the rack. As a mechanic and after hearing a story of repeated warped rotors, what I would do is actually drag out a micrometer and dial indicator and measure a few things; meaning rotor runout and parallelism.
