Description of the problem | When i was checking the air pressure in my tires, i noticed that the front passenger side brake caliper was cracked at the mounting point. Dealer inspected it and found that the brake pads were also worn at an angle - obviously due to broken caliper. Upon reassembly they concluded that the hub was bent as well but they could not determine if one caused the other or how they were related but speculated that the front wheel impacted to an extent that it bent the hub and/or caliper inspite of any evidence of damage to any front end parts, body parts, or wheel. I proposed that the hub was out of spec upon delivery and that after 11,000 miles stresses on the caliper caused it to break, however they disagreed and were unwilling to call the honda area service manager. Cost of repair was initially quoted at around $800. Final cost over $1000. |
