| Air Brake problems |
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Element. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10v098000 (services brakes, air). After the repairs, the malfunction indicator light and the check engine light began to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the error codes were removed from the system. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not experiencing any other failures. The warning lights continued to illuminate. The contact felt that the recall repairs were responsible for the subsequent failures. The failure mileage was 58,000 and the current mileage was 58,380.
Premature failure of rear passenger disc brake at 22000 miles. Loud grinding noise noticed coming from rear passenger wheel. Brought to dealer immediately. Rear passenger rotor and both rear pads needed to be replaced, front brakes fine upon inspection. After arguing with the service department got the repair bill down from $505 to $65. Upon further research, I feel that the dealer just treated the symptom and not the cause of the problem and this is likely to occur again. Not sure if this is related to the recent braking recall for Honda Elements and oddysseys or not, but just wanted to make a record of my experience for those who may have had to cover the full cost of their repair.
