1 Abs Brake Fail problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2009

This incident involved failure of the braking system on my 2008 Honda Accord with no annunciation or warning that there was any problem with the braking system. Fortunately, I was traveling at slow speeds with very little traffic. I had driven about a mile and a half and had multiple stops for traffic lights and/or stop signs with no indication that there was any problem with the braking system. I had just accelerated after leaving a traffic light and was traveling 25 ? 30 mph. I attempted to slow to make a right turn into a gas station parking lot. At the point of braking, I observed absolutely no slowing in response to applying brake pressure. There was little resistance on the brake pedal and I continued to depress the pedal. Still with no slowing in response to braking, I used the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. After safely stopping, I attempted to better characterize the braking problem. I was able to repeatedly reproduce the failure, however did confirm that if the brake had been fully depressed and then a very quick pump to the brake, excessive and dramatic pressure was temporarily available. I phoned my husband for assistance and he was able to carefully drive the vehicle, using the emergency brake only to lynwood Honda for investigation and servicing. We have been advised by lynwood Honda that the abs modulator had failed, however, there were not faults recorded in the vehicle?s computer which is why no dashboard indication occurred. They also indicated that this was the second such case reported on the 2008 Accord. I personally attempted to call Honda of America customer service and was not satisfied with the explanation and / or action they were able to advice me they were taking as a result of this incident. Note that the vehicle has been maintained According to Honda's recommended schedule and has been done exclusively by the lynwood Honda service department.
