Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When braking the vehicle shakes and the brakes vibrate to the point that the vehicle feels unsafe. This has been a continual problem. Brakes have been inspected and we are told that the rotors are warped and need to be replaced. This has been done three times and now, at 96,000 miles we are being told that the brakes/rotors need to be redone again. I wrote to honda in 2017 and never received a reply. The honda dealer says it is not a safety issue. Supposedly a newer version of rotor was issued and installed the last time, but the problem is back. From a driver's perspective this is a safety issue and honda should make it right. Their brake components are undersized or not engineered properly for the size of the vehicle. The vibration is not felt anytime that the brakes are applied, but more significantly with higher speeds and quicker stops. |
