Description of the problem | Brakes with soft pedal and front noise. Problem was first taken to the dealership on 02-02-08. Through research from contacts at honda i found out that they are having a problem with a proportioning valve or abs modulator. The flaw is allowing air to get into the brake lines causing soft pedal and decreased performance. It appears that most of the air in the lines is affecting the rear brakes performance. I'm experiencing very hot front brakes and i feel this is causing glazing and the noise. I first noticed the problem around the 4,000 mile range. Honda has a technical bulletin in their system with instructions for bleeding the system in an attempt to correct the problem. They are also recommending the replacement of this valve/unit also. In my case, i'm still experiencing a problem with soft brake pedal and front brake noise. I have filed a 'lemon law" claim for my vehicle with the bbb and honda. I can provide copies of these technical bulletins upon request. I have also done a "google" search for honda brake problems and i have found numerous others with the same exact issues on the postings i found. |
