Immediately after the accident on 11/30/2009, the vehicle owner reported that the vehicle brakes had failed to the auto insurance carrier, and took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnosis. Upon arriving at the dealership, the service representative acknowledge that honda was aware of the braking issue, and even though the vehicle was out of warranty, they offered to cover the repair at 90% and instructed the owner to collect the remaining 10% of the cost directly from honda. The dealership diagnosis was that the abs module was leaking air into the brake system. All other braking components were operational. The dealership replaced the abs module, and bled the brake system to remedy the problem. The old parts were disposed of by the dealership prior to insurance carrier being aware of issue. Service records indicate that the vehicle owner had vehicle braking system maintenance completed on 8/19/2009 at the same dealership. |
