Failure Date: 05/22/1999

First time problem occured, brakes making groaning noise and also experienced brake fading. Dealer replaced brake pads. Repeat of problem at 13,500 miles; identical symptoms. Lots of brake dust. Brake system may be inadequate for the weight of vehicle, or brake pad material too soft.

3 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 04/08/1999

Vehicle purchased new with six miles on odometer. At approximately 2100 miles, we noted a screeching noise and decreased braking. We took the vehicle to the selling dealer, immke Honda northwest -- this dealer put "molykote" on the disks or pads, returning the vehicle to us representing that the problem was corrected. At 3,000 miles, we noted increased metal-on-metal noise and significantly decreased braking. Another dealer replaced both front disks and one front pad, indicating that all were bad. This is reported due to danger of reduced braking and the occurrence at less than 3,000 miles (normal use).
