Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2005 Honda Accord

I've owned my 4-dr. , 6-cyl. Ex model since purchasing it from a Honda parts dept. Employee in Jan. , 2007 with 24k miles on the engine. It has performed generally very well until it developed a safety-related, brake system problem that has gotten progressively worse since it first occurred-- namely, that the brake pedal has become progressively soft when applied, and recently has to be applied strenuously all the way to the floor to get even a minimal stopping response. When the problem first occurred, I began regularly checking the brake fluid level in my master cylinder. Only occasionally did the cylinder require some minimal, additional brake fluid--akin to a normal maintenance amount. Keeping my fluid to a maximum-level has not resolved the problem. This past March (2015), I requested my well-rated, independent mechanic to diagnose the problem. He first identified the same 3 earlier Honda service bulletins that I had (going all the way back to 2007) that addressed this brake problem, wherein Honda was mostly implicating a faulty abs (control) module as the cause of the problem (note: I've never received a safety recall svc. Bulletin from Honda for this problem). My mechanic estimated that replacing my abs module would cost over $2000, but that even then there would be no guarantee that my problem would be resolved. So, until I could decide what action to take, I had him do a front brake job to "buy" whatever extra stopping-power I could . . . Which turned out to be minimal-to-none! not only does my problem remain, but it is getting rapidly worse . . . To the point that I'm reluctant make long, highway-speed trips, and am driving super-defensively so as to be able to stop the car in any kind of risky situation. I plan to appeal to the Honda America hierarchy, starting with my local dealership.

After investing $900 in non-wear brake component replacement since 2007 (calipers, rotors), the car began to require ever-increasing pedal effort to slow & stop. Dealer replaced brake fluid per maintenance schedule, restoring previous performance. 07november2011, pedal effort problem returned, worse than ever. $390 to replace master cylinder and problem was not corrected. 12dec2011 (84,000miles), $590 was "my half" (Honda split cost with me) to replace abs modulator- a known problem with this model According to the dealer. This is an otherwise wonderful car but has enough siblings on the road to present a credible threat to public safety. Additionally, the @$1900 I've spent so far on brake system hardware does not include regular wear items (pads, fluid, misc) which are normal replacement cost items. I believe Honda should recall this model, inspect/replace brake components to ensure public safety, and reimburse owners who have already done the right thing in replacing defective parts that should not have ever been on the road in the first place.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. While depressing the brake pedal in an attempt to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, the brakes exhibited signs of failure and fell into the floor board. The brake pedal did not return to the idle position. The dealer performed a diagnostic test and stated that the brake master cylinder was damaged. The vehicle was repaired. One month later, the vehicle exhibited the exact same failure. The failure mileage was 58,000 and the current mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.
