| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On the fifth year of usage, my honda accord 2001 v6 ex 4-door sedan started producing a loud pop/click when applying pressure on the brake pedal. after taking the car to the dealership twice, they managed to determine the cause - a couple of parts around the pedal need to be replaced (about $200, i have the list from them) with labor charge for about $250 more, total comes to about $450. the dealer claims the problem is cosmetic and doesn't affect the normal vehicle braking. i truly hope so, i haven't performed the repair yet. this problem looks very much like the issue described at nhtsa item number 10013655 (service bulletin number 11012004). i believe honda should stand behind their product, state this is a recall and perform the repairs of such issues for free. currently it's extremely challenging to even convince the dealership that there's a problem, in addition they charge you a large amount of money for only diagnosing the problem. *jb |
