Brake Disc Pads Problems of Honda Element

I have a 2010 Honda Element SC and it has a very sponge like break peddle. (happens stoped or driving)it will go to the floor if it is pressed hard enough. The break fluid has been replaced along with all break pads and the problem still accurs. All work was done by dealership.

The abs brake system has always had a nice firm pedal pressure. Recently when coming to a stop I noticed the pedal to feel spongy, soft and travel close to the floor. I checked fluids etc. And all seem normal. Still have adequate pad thickness on all pads. This problem with the soft, spongy pedal seems to be consistent now. Checked the internet and see this seems to be a problem on 2007 and 2008 Elements. Believe it might also be showing up on other years also. We also have a 2004 Element and the pedal pressure is as the 2003 used to be. The 2003 is an ex 2wd auto and the 2004 is an ex auto awd model.

Spongy brake pedal goes almost to floor. Have new rotors & pads and just had the system flushed and bled. No change in operation. Still spongy and travel almost to floor. Symptoms have existed for years.

Bought 2008 Honda Element new in Dec. 2009. At about 5000mi. (8mo. ) brakes became increasingly mushy and pedal soft. Eventually brakes did not engage until about an inch off floor. Dealer confirmed and replaced brake module. Within a week they were bad again. Dealer rebled brakes said rear pads were worn excessively and unevenly, rotors showed signs of excessive heat, they replaced pads. Solid when picked up, lasted less than a week. Now car has periods of a few hundred miles of solid braking, then periods of soft, fading braking with wild swings of rpms from the vacuum boost. Have had six close calls during these periods.

Premature right rear brake wear (out boad 2. 9mm inboard tapered from 6mm)requiring resurfacing and new pads at approx 22,500 miles. Left rear out/inboard expected nominal 6mm.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Element. The contact stated that the braking system is poor on his vehicle. The brakes only work for the front wheels. The contact has taken the vehicle to several dealers and they have changed the rear brake pads, front brake pads, and the master brake pump. However, the failure persists. The vehicle was taken to a brake shop and was told that the cause of failure was the electronic power brake system. The current and failure mileages were 4,700. Updated 02-01-08 updated 02/01/08.

Brakes on 2003 Honda Element. When having my car serviced recently they said my brake pads needed to be replaced because one of the pads had stuck and worn down to the point of slightly damaging the rotor. The brakes were adjusted on a previous service call by another dealership. This service probably occurred around 20,000 miles. The dealership even admitted that for some reason the one stuck after that service had been done. I feel that Honda should have paid for this repair as obviously either the technician didn't adjust the brakes properly or the equipment failed to perform properly.

My rear brakes went at 29,000 miles and then again at 50,000 miles. Honda replaced the rotors and pads under warranty at 29,000 miles. I brought the Element back several times after complaining about the brakes and they blamed it on dirt buildup. At 50,000 miles the rear brakes went again. This time they weren't going to cover it but after complaining they covered the rotors and I had to pay for the pads and labor. I don't go off road or travel on dirt roads. I had my brakes checked a couple of times when I had my tires rotated. I have recently found out that my friend who also owns an Element had his rear brakes replaced at 18,000. I believe there is a problem with the rear brake system. My front brakes are still the originals.
