Honda Element 2008 began experiencing soft pedal when applying brakes, 2 lights came on vsa and ABS!. I continued to drive that particular day and when I tuned off engine and turned it back on lights disappeared for a smal amount of time. Brakes felt as though I would be unable to stop because of such play in them. I was driving on highway for approx 15 miles and also city driving for about 10 miles.

I pressed door unlock button. The unlock button rose up, but door remained locked. I tried this a few times more. Then I tried my remote several times by pressing the lock and unlock buttons several times. The only way I could unlock the door was by opening the window, and using the handle to open the door.
