Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2006 Honda Ridgeline

I have recieved a recall notice . . . Something about defective air bags. . I refuse to take my vehicle to a dealer. . . The last recall that this vehicle had was the brake master cylinder . . . It was not done properly. . There is still air in the brake lines. . This causes a mushy brake pedal. . I also had a buell motorcyle. . . I received 9 recalls in a 2 week period. . . Out of the 4 recalls that I allowed the dealer to perform 1 failed on my why home { fuel tank vent} and another failed a week later { side stand saftey switch} . . Nothing was done about any of these issues.

Brake pedal has soft feel and requires multiple pumps to build up pressure. Have had brakes bled multiple times and had master cylinder replaced. After service brakes seem fine for a few days/weeks but eventually return to soft state. Sudden stopping situations or stopping on slippery surfaces will cause pedal to go immediately to floor and anti-lock system to engage. Sometimes antilock brakes will engage even if not on slippery or loose surface.

I have spent close to a $1000. 00 to try and fix a reoccurring soft brake issue with my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. After many countless hours at the multiple auto shops and Honda dealerships I decided to research further into this soft brake problem that I have. The biggest issue was that at one particular shop they changed out 5 brand new master cylinders to try and fix the issue. After extended hours online, it came to my attention that there was an issue with the Honda odyssey/element brake system as well. There was a recall on the vsa modulator with over 400,000 vehicles. I also found on other threads and blogs that other Honda Ridgelines are having the same issue. When I took it to the Honda dealership they told me it would cost $1500 to change out the vsa modulator but would not guarantee this would prevent the same issue from reoccurring in the future. I explained to the technician that it seems to be a defective part if its also happening to other Honda Ridgelines.

Master cylinder on vehicle gone out twice within a year.
