I think there is a problem with the brakes on my 1999 Honda Civic. Under heavey braking the rear wheels lock up while the front does not. This has happened about 5 times since I bought the car new. When it happens the rear end of the car fishtails wildly and does cause the car to into an uncontrolable spin. I had mentioned this to the dealer who had said it is normal because of weight transfer to the front under heavy braking. ( the preportioning valve is there to balance the brake line pressure between the bakes so they are equalize pressure as needed?) this also happens on ice cover roads or slipery road under normal braking, the back wheels lock up before the front causing the backen to fishtail. I have not had a reportable accident because of it, but it could cause an accident if this continues.
