Thread: Thank you for the TSB! Brake pedal feels fine!

Re: '05 brakes quote: Originally posted by Chris Thomas Amati5- Did you ever have your brakes or pedal feel/travel worked on? If so, did they do work as in the tsb for the 07-08? I feel my pedal soft compared to other cars I have, but this is my first Honda. Thanks-Chris No I didn't. But I did change the pads to EBC Supreme and fluid to Castro GT LMA which firms up the pedal noticeably.

Honda has a responsibility of produce a safe product, if they know about a fault with a product they produce, they need to step up and fix it. No dice. Got the "we drove it it and if feels fine", we have 20 years experience, etc. They even went so far as to claim to have bled the brakes but of course theres no...

quote: Originally posted by maxud I have a better suggestion. If the dealer refuses to fix the problem, dont waste your time and go to a different dealer. I went through this just last month with PS issue. No matter how many TSB's are there or what you think they should do, some dealers are just a*sholes and corporate Honda is no better, so don't bother complaining either. It is just not worth your time. The best way to strike back...

I just got mine fixed today. Thanks again to New Dad New Van and DVPatel for organizing the TSB! They didn't even look at the car when i showed them the TSB printout. They promptly ordered the parts, got it in a week and scheduled for the service. Now i feel much safer.

I echo that sediment (my thanks!), I took the TSB to the dealer, they did a quick test drive and confirmed the pedal was soft, and that it took more travel than normal to stop the vehicle. They had the new ABS modulator in stock, and after a manual brake bleed they had the vehicle back to me in the afternoon. I also had the TSB done for the...

"This tsb doesn't apply for 05, correct?" No. But This SB applied to Accords long before it was extended to 07-08 Odyssey. Maybe in the future. "Anyone knows what part they replaced?" CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the ABS/TCS or VSA modulator-control unit (modulator assembly). PARTS INFORMATION Modulator Assembly: 2003–04 Accord 2-Door M/T: P/N 57110-SDP-013, H/C 7541279 2003–04 Accord 2- and 4-Door A/T: P/N...

I have noticed that my brakes are soft. Unfortunately, my van is out of warranty (~ 40K miles). Has anyone had any luck with goodwill on this part. I looked it up online and the part is about $600.00.

My Van runs fine, brake pedal is firm. Question: is there a need to address this with the dealer? I rather have this fixed now than later.

quote: Originally posted by AndyCBR I never understood why a dealer would not want to do TSB work as they get paid under warranty from American Honda. The dealers actually get paid less for warranty work than what they get for customer-paid service/repair. So if the dealer has enough work coming in they can afford the luxury of denying warranty work. Just go to another dealer if time permits, it might be worth your while. It is also wise to...
