Description of the problem | At 20,000 miles, braking from freeway speeds started to cause shuddering and jerking of the steering wheel. We were able to live with it for a little while, but finally took it to the dealership at 27,960 miles, and were told the brake rotors were warped. The dealer resurfaced the rotors without our authorization and said they will not replace them, even though they are clearly defective (they show clear signs of heat damage). This is a common problem with this vehicle, and honda has already discontinued the old rotor, and a new rotor is available, part # 45251-tk8-a02. Yet, honda refuses to replace our defective rotors, making our vehicle dangerous and unsafe to drive. Refinishing the rotors will only temporarily fix the problem, but they will quickly overheat again, and honda obviously just hopes this happens after our warranty expires. This is a relatively new vehicle (2 years), and still under warranty. We should not have to worry about the manufacturer refusing to honor their warranty, and the safety of our braking system due to defective parts. |
