1 Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem of the 2019 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 11/26/2018

Started seeing this problem from day 1. This is a safety issue and it's an accident waiting to happen. You have to press on the brakes really hard to get any kind of decent stopping. Seems like the brake cylinder has no pressure or leaking. Brakes are too soft and the pedal goes all the way to the floor to get any decent braking. Even at the stop lights, you have to keep a very high pressure on the brake pedal to make sure the car doesn't start moving and slam into the car in front of you. Because you have to constantly apply a high pressure, I've developed sciatica nerve pain in my right leg. I've shown this to the local dealership but the usual answer is this is how it is. I have a Honda civic but the brakes are properly tightened on it and I've driven 10 hours without any fatigue to my sciatica, but on this car, 30 minutes driving starts aggravating my sciatica nerve. Honda . . . . Please fix this before it get out of hand. It will not get any better.
