Takata recall, the srs light signal is on the whole time whenever the car is moving, it wont go away. And the car breaks isnt breaking fast when brake pads are being press down all the way instead it breaks slow to stop. Also hood needs to be slam hard in order to close.
Consumer states he was told by a mechanic that his brakes are not fitting tight to the caliber, which causes his brakes to make a noise in shafting before it can make a stop. He was also told that there is no fix for it. Ts it has been advised that when the vehicle is cold the front brake pads become loose causing the brake pads to shift/noisy while coming to a stop.
Consumert states while driving had extened stopping. Dealer notified said pads wore down. Nlm.
Lt front brake has knock noise coming from it when either backing or going foward. This is intermittent. Both Honda corp. And dealership says this is normal noise and quite a few of these 2001 Honda Civic's have this problem. They say it is due to the fact that after some disc pad wear the clearance between the caliper piston and the pad is increased so that is where the noise is coming from. I am worried about binding of the pad or the pad cracking due to the constant hammer of the piston into the disc brake pad. Please look into this as I feel this is a time bomb waiting to go off. Thank you.
