Please contact me so I may mail or fax the long history of defects on this vehicle. Currently I wish to address the unsafe brakes on this vehicle. Thank you
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, brake pedal goes down slowly to the floorboard, and vehicle is still moving. Two 0-rings in master cylinder have been replaced but pedal still goes down.
First time problem occured, brakes making groaning noise and also experienced brake fading. Dealer replaced brake pads. Repeat of problem at 13,500 miles; identical symptoms. Lots of brake dust. Brake system may be inadequate for the weight of vehicle, or brake pad material too soft.
Whenever vehicle hit bump sounds like sliding door is ajar. The brakes sound like tractor trailer. Took to dealer & mechanic changed the lining on brakes.
At 1500 miles loud squeaking noise was coming from front wheels. Dealer notified and repaired both rotors/replaced both pads. Later on, brought vehicle in for routine oil change, and asked them to check the brakes. Dealer found cracks in pads, ,which were replaced. Later on, reoccurring squeaking noise was coming again from driver's side front wheel. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter.
Brakes failed. Pedal went to floor 3 times. Emergency brake stopped the van. Rumbling/vibration sound proceeded the failure by a few minutes. Cause of the failure remains unexplained. Dealer service found no physical problem or computer event to document the incident.
Vehicle purchased new with six miles on odometer. At approximately 2100 miles, we noted a screeching noise and decreased braking. We took the vehicle to the selling dealer, immke honda northwest -- this dealer put "molykote" on the disks or pads, returning the vehicle to us representing that the problem was corrected. At 3,000 miles, we noted increased metal-on-metal noise and significantly decreased braking. Another dealer replaced both front disks and one front pad, indicating that all were bad. This is reported due to danger of reduced braking and the occurrence at less than 3,000 miles (normal use).
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, in which after the impact, the vehicle caught on fire this occurred due a cracked brake fluid reservoir which leaked. Please give any further details.
