SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC - ANTILOCK

 The abs control unit first failed at 12692 miles last april. the dealer stated that this was an intermittent failure and reset the codes. i was told that if the unit failed again it would be replaced. it failed last friday. the dealer does not stck the control unit and it takes 3-5 working days to order the part. the control unit is now giving intermittent failure signals as the car is driven. *ak

 Brake system is malfunctioning and engaging involuntarily. front end vibrates. also, left wheel gets hot and locks up. vehicle has a manual transmission and should roll back when the foot is taken off of brake pedal on an incline. instead, the vehicle does not move. dealer was notified and could not duplicate problem. *ak the vehicle would vibrate to the point where the consumer would have to pull off of the road, for a third time the vehicle would not duplicate the problem. the left front brake caliper and hose have been replaced. consumer does not know if the problem has been corrected. *scc

 Brakes are sticking and causing the car to vibrate and emit a low humming noise. when i put my foot under the brake pedal and pulled it up the noise went away. honda dealerships had'cut the rotors three times, which was not in any way normal! they told me they could not duplicate the problem so refused to fix it, but didn't the need to cut the rotors three times indicate a serious problem?*ak
