    Pressing on the brakes in slippery conditions like snow causes the antilock brakes to lock up and the car to skid. This happens at all speeds- even as low as 15mph.

    Rear brakes started making a grinding noise when first time applied each morning. Slowly condition kept getting worse, but after no more than three applications of brakes, condition ceases for that day only to re appear the next day.

    Taken to lancaster, ca honda and they said front rotors have become warped/heated. Need to resurface rotors and clean and re-lube front brakes pads. Front brake pads at 7mm. Having under twenty thousand miles, was told this would cost me $120.00. I feel this has a defective braking system and should be taken care of by honda, not charged to the customer. *tr
