I searched but didn't see a reference on forum about this. The USDOT/NHTSA has launched a defect inquiry into the mushy brake problem around 13 May 2009. This may be why dealers are now trying to pretend the mushy brake issue doesn't exist. Anyone that needs a little more proof for their dealers to belly up to the parts counter might want to print out this info to take with:

www.Safercar.gov is the easy to remember main link address.
But I found this info from do a search from this page:

If you HAD a problem or currently HAVE a problem do us all a favor & enter your complaint (from the main page) about it. Currently if you search for defects from the above search page, you won't find anything but the Odyssey listed, but the ELEMENT is on the inquiry as a PEER vehicle with similar problems.
I've only put 75 miles on my E since I got it a month ago (2nd owner) & I've noticed the mushy brake thing so know this fight is probably in my future.
Hope this may help someone

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
