Warped brake rotors. On this model Honda brakes are very bad, Honda wanted $1400 to replace and of course its their bad engineering that is the issue. It precisely is bad engineering on the rotor to warp so easily. Disc Rotors warp caused severe vibration during braking. New rotors beginning to show same early symptoms. What is it with Honda and poor brakes? |
