1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2021

Under normal driving conditions, I have had my calipers and rotors changed 6 times. I have been told it's a Honda Civic design issue. That being said on numerous accounts coming off an interstate or many stops in the city my car will not stop no matter what. The emergency brake has to be pulled. It is worse when people are in the car. The brakes heat up so much that I can't do anything.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2016

I had a total hub failure. Luckily I was only going about 9mph in a parking lot making a slight turn when the failure occurred. I had to have the mechanic replace the knuckle, hub, bearing, caliper and bracket along with abs sensor. If I would've been on the freeway it would've been really bad. The car has 95k miles and maintenances regularly.
