My wife had parked in a parking space with a very slight downward slope. There was another space ahead of her. She had been driving in a heavy rain. The car was operating normally. When she returned about 15 minutes later, the brake pedal felt hard. She started the engine and shifted into reverse. The car started coasting forward. The brakes remained hard and didn't stop the car. She stopped it by shifting to park,…

Brakes are overly sensitive, particularly during high idle when the engine is cold. It is not possible to apply the brakes quickly without the brake pedal feeling as though it's getting sucked down during a slight application. One must be very careful and start applying the brakes incredibly slowly before they wish to start stopping. Thus, it's not possible to stop quickly without the brakes being heavily applied…

I was stopped at a red light, a few cars behind, and then the traffic light turned green and the cars took off. After i just passed the intersection the first car made a sudden stop, and the cars after were able to stop also. I had enough time and room to stop the car itself with out crashing too, but the breaks did not stop when my foot was pressed all the way down on the petal. I was not going more than fifteen…

While driving in traffic, mainly at a stand still, the brake pedal will reach the bottom stop and not push anymore. The car has not yet ever failed to stop. Normal braking requires no effort whatsoever and there is no resistance felt. The pedal will normally fall to below that of the accelerator and on a manual transmission car, it makes heel/toe driving impossible. I have had the rotors both front and rear warp.…

The car makes a squealing / screeching noise while driving that appears to be coming from the rear brakes. I had the same problem on my 2001 accord 4cyl now it's happening again on my 2004. I'm afraid that i will have to go what i went through before where every other oil change i needed rear brake pads and resurfacing of my rotors, but if i wasn't so diligent about getting my vehicle serviced who knows, i probably…

2004 honda accord ex w/24,000 miles and in service one year. Excessive noise (squealing) coming from front and rear brakes. Front pads had minimal wear but there was a crack down the center of each front pad (four in all) service manager says this is normal wear and tear and the cracks were probably caused by heat (a crack in the pad is not normal wear and tear but a problem). As for the rear brakes, the rear pads…
