1 Brake Master Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2003

Hi. I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with a "sinking brake" problem. I am being told that the problem is normal per a "1995" Honda service news. The brake pedal moves towards the floor when the van is stopped and feels like a faulty master cylinder. Honda of America has been unresponsive to my concerns. I am told it is common yet no mention is made in the handbook and the repairman at the local dealer where I bought the van had no immediate knowledge of the problem. My biggest concern is that since a brake pedal that sinks is a sign of a failing master cylinder, when do I (or my wife who is the primary driver)get concerned. If we treat the sinking brake pedal as normal and the master cylinder does fail, we could be involved in a rearend accident. Why has not Honda engineered this problem out since 1995? please get Honda of America to answer my concerns. Sincerely, charles b. Hendrix.
