After starting engine, instrument cluster indicated problems and brake pedal was inoperative. Shutting down engine and restarting restored normal condition. Reported condition to dealer and left vehicle for testing. It was returned to me after they could not find anything wrong. The same thing happened to me again 2 hours later, so I called the dealer and had them tow the van back to their lot. They kept it for a week, but still did not find the problem. They did tell me other customers had been reporting this problem with vehicles built in al (similar VIN) and they were investigating it. I was instructed to continue driving the vehicle unless I could "consisently reproduce the failure". the service tickets for both visits do not mention the brake failures I reported. They are calling it a "bulb check". I called the national Honda customer service line and they agreed with the dealer. I am very concerned about these vehicles because I believe this problem could cause the brakes to fail when the vehicle is in motion.

The car pulls to the left when I apply the brakes. This is the second time I have taken it in to the dealer. They denied that there was a problem until I went out on a test drive with the technician.

On 4/12/02 - {"normal, non-severe braking conditions"}: was not raining. Didn't drive through water, mud, or oil. Wasn't driving off-road, down mountains, or down any hill. Wasn't riding brake, or doing 1800 braking maneuvers. --- drove 1 mile, in town. Parked for about 20 minutes. Drove 1/10 mile, in town. --- applied brakes normally. {"other than return spring, with no resistance pedal went to floor with zero deceleration"}: {pedal was not hard, was not soft. It traveled with no resistance, no pressure, moved freely.} {pedal didn't go a little farther than normal. It went completely to floor.} {brakes did not lock, did not brake slowly. It was zero deceleration, no braking, no slowing.} --- released pedal. Braked hard to avoid hitting another vehicle. Came to quick stop. Has not reoccurred.
