Sudden, loud grinding sound coming from rear disc brakes. At same time, SRS indicator light came on. Contacted Acura dealer, clair Acura of walpole MA, unable to service for at least a week, didn't appear concerned about safety issues. Took car to tire/break specialist who immediatley diagnosed total brake failure, calipers were locked frozen. Called Acura dealer, still unconcerned, knew nothing about other vehicles with similar problems. Had car repaired immediatley by break specialist - replaced calipers, rotors, brake fluid, complete brake package.
