| After investing $900 in non-wear brake component replacement since 2007 (calipers, rotors), the car began to require ever-increasing pedal effort to slow & stop. dealer replaced brake fluid per maintenance schedule, restoring previous performance. 07november2011, pedal effort problem returned, worse than ever. $390 to replace master cylinder and problem was not corrected. 12dec2011 (84,000miles), $590 was my half (honda split cost with me) to replace abs modulator- a known problem with this model according to the dealer. this is an otherwise wonderful car but has enough siblings on the road to present a credible threat to public safety. additionally, the @$1900 i've spent so far on brake system hardware does not include regular wear items (pads, fluid, misc) which are normal replacement cost items. i believe honda should recall this model, inspect/replace brake components to ensure public safety, and reimburse owners who have already done the right thing in replacing defective parts that should not have ever been on the road in the first place. | |||
