| Description of the problem | My wife's sister is the original owner of the car. She could no longer drive so we purchased the car from her in about june of 2015. It had 11,000 miles on it at the time. We noticed that the break pedal started going almost all the way to the floor and took it in for repair to frontier honda in colorado where we lived at the time. This was repeated a number of times as the pedal continued to start going near the floor a short time after the repair attempt. They could not determine what was wrong and we ended up paying for the troubleshooting multiple times. We moved to ohio in june of 2018 and in october for 2018 we took it into matt castrucci's auto mall of dayton (honda 937-434-4723) where again we had to pay for troubleshooting. It had 66,278 miles on it at the time. Each time we took it in the troubleshooting included a bleed of and inspection of the break system and each time the pedal would go back to normal range of motion. After a period of time, especially in cold weather, the pedal would go down closer to the floor. The latest time we took it in to matts honda dealership they determined the anomaly is due to a defective part within the abs portion of the break system which would cost over $2000 to repair. Matt called and mentioned that he was informed that some cars got equipped with the defective part. After matt checked with his regional representative he called to inform us that honda will not take care of the problem due to the age of the vehicle. If it had less miles on it they would but at some time the owner needs to take responsibility of the repairs. The pedal would start going near the floor after the car sat un-driven especially when cold out. The car is still not repaired. The break pedal is still going almost to where it is touching the floor, and my wife will be in danger because of the defective part. |
