Brakes are soft and pedal sometimes goes close to the floor with engine on regardless of being in motion or stopped. Took truck in for repair at Honda dealer they thought it serious enough to replace the master cylinder after several attempts at bleeding them. Brakes are still soft but Honda now claims that they are fine.

While driving , applied brake and pedal went to the floor car would not stop! replaced brake master cylinder (typical repair) this did not fix issue. Im am told the the abs modulator caused this failure. The master cylinder is understandably a dangerous failure point however I have never heard of an abs modulator causing this issue which can be deadly . The car only has 90k miles which also is an issue as this is not a typical failure. I was able to avoid a collision but im wondering if this should be looked into closer and if there are others that have had this problem but did not recognize the failure point since the part is not suppose to fail in this manner .

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.
