Consumer Description

BRAKES ARE SOFT WHEN BREAKING. ALSO WHEN STOPPING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD THE BRAKES STARTS TO GRIND AND CLUNK CAUSING IT TO HAVE PROBLEMS STOPPING. THIS IS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH. IF I WHERE TO HAVE A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH MANY TIMES I DO I HAVE TO SWERVE SO I DO NOT HIT THEM. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. THE ROADS ARE CLEAR NO RAIN OR ANYTHING FOR IT TO HAVE SUCH BAD BREAKING. I CAN LITERALLY FEEL MY BRAKE PEDAL MOVING WHILE THE CLUNKING AND GRINDING IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR DOES ACTUALLY NOT SLOW DOWN. IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES PEDAL LOOSES ITS FUNCTION.
