Air Brake Antilock problem #1

Several months after buying our car in December of 2002, we noticed a clunking sound when we used the brakes when going forward. We were told this was normal and occurred after having just backed up. It was a transfer of the brakes from back to front. I had the service tech look at them and was told it was not a safety issues and Honda would not address it. I have since talked to several Honda owners who have never had this problem. Additionally, my brakes are getting worse and make the sound even if I don't back up first.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem #2

Front disc brake rotors warped from normal use, low mileage (21,000 miles) causing excessive vibration and potential loss of vechicle stability and control when braking.
