problem #2

Accord LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,937 miles

Brake pedal went to floor, took to dealer, master cylinder was leaking and was replaced. Seemed a little too soon (34K) miles. Out of warranty, but was replaced at no charge, making me think that I may not be only one with this problem ??

problem #1

Accord EX 3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

On return from a trip, my wife noticed that the pedal was nearly going to the floor and the pedal was very soft. The car used to grab after an inch of pedal. At 21,000 miles we had the car in for service and the dealer wouldn't give it back to us without replacing the master cylinder. Its acting like it did back then. The car was in the shop for an oil change at 31,000 miles and they replaced the rear rotors and pads. Now this soft pedal again. I took it in for the next oil change and told the dealer that the master cylinder was gone again. Two mechanics looked at it and said they couldn't find the "squeak" in the brakes. Try again boys, notice the pedal goes to the fire wall? No problem they said. Take it home, or we can do the $550 36,000 mile check up where we might find a problem with the calipers. Gee, no thanks..... I think I'll be installing a master cylinder myself and move on. NHSTA should know about his by the end of it.
