problem #2

Apr 232012

Pilot 6-cyl

  • 1,780 miles
Traveling at low or at highway speeds the brake pedal has excessive travel and causes an excessively long delayed stop. Also, when coming to a stop and waiting with the brake pressed for several minutes, I.e., 3-5 minutes at a red light or longer time at a railroad stop, the brake paddle will slowly start traveling to the floor. Have to pump the brake to bring it back up, then, the problem keeps repeating. Several trips to the dealer trying to resolve the issue. They bled the brake system and contacted Honda's main technical department, they claimed this was normal operation and compare it to other Pilot's. not an acceptable answer. There should be a recall.
