The anti-lock braking system has permanently failed and the pump runs constantly making a clicking noise. I had problems with the ABS system was still under warranty and nothing was ever done about it. The dealer told me to pump the brakes really hard to get the ABS light to go off and usually it worked, but now I am told the ABS system has completely failed and needs replacement. I have contacted acura customer service and the dealer but they will not do anything about it. There have been 4 technical service bulletins about the ABS system on this car. Please help!!

What owners say
The problem with the ABS system in this car began occurring when the car was still under warranty. We have written documentation stating that. Now, the ABS system is failing and makes a constant noise even though we have had it flushed and looked at by the dealer. On february 3, 2000, my husband luis aguilar sent a letter to acura explaining our complaint and even though we got a questionnaire asking how our complaint was handled we never got a response from acura.
