Since January I have stepped on ther brake pedal at lease 6 times and the pedal has gone almost to the floor. I release the pedal and it came back up to the original position. The dealer did brake maintenance on the front. Said the pads were sticking. Recomended new pads and rotors. I okayed new pads and rotors be done. They also did maintenance onthe rear axle brakes. Yesterday the brake pedal went down to the floor 2 times in 5 minutes. This was all done at the dealership. This morning I dropped the 2014 Honda Ridgeline at an independent auto shop to see if they can solve this problem.

While driving, applied brake and pedal went to the floor car would not stop! replaced brake master cylinder (typical repair) this did not fix issue. Im am told the the ABS modulator caused this failure. The master cylinder is understandably a dangerous failure point however I have never heard of an ABS modulator causing this issue which can be deadly. The car only has 90K miles which also is an issue as this is not a typical failure. I was able to avoid a collision but im wondering if this should be looked into closer and if there are others that have had this problem but did not recognize the failure point since the part is not suppose to fail in this manner.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that as he drove various speeds, the emergency brake warning light illuminated, the warning bell sounded and the brakes emitted a strong burning odor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure where the battery cable was reset several times but to no avail. The emergency brake warning light continued to illuminate and the brakes emitted a burning odor. The failure mileage was 3,000. The current mileage was 3,500.
