    I have a 2003 Accord sedan 4 cyl. The brakes are feeling a little funky
    right now (spongy and a little lower pedal). I remember seeing something in
    this group about issues with the front brakes on these.

    Any info would be great. I have 6.2K miles......

  2. I had mine done at 30,000k. The rotors were warped and the pads worn
    out. They covered it under warranty.

  3. You are lucky--your warranty is still in effect. Take it to the dealer and
    have them fix the problem before the warranty runs out.

    the bulletin cover brake judder, it calls for machining the rotors
    and installing a newer material brake pad.

    Why post? Get it in the shop. If you don't like your dealers work or
    answers, then call the Regional Manager. Honda is a real stickler on
    customer satisfaction.

    I know. Just getting the ammunition before I went in. I just had an issue
    with my 2002 Grand Cherokee with the front brakes. Found a TSB for the
    issue. When I referenced it by number, they were pretty agreable about
    replacing the rotors, pads and calipers on the spot.

    Unfortunately, in their infinite wisdom, Honda has decided not to publicly
    announce TSBs. I guess not telling anyone and letting the owners guess
    involves less work. I think they started this in 2000. I think unless
    someone getting sued, chances are you won't see a TSB anytime soon. You
    could get lucky at www.alldata.com

    They have this on brakes.

    great! a how to on re-surfacing rotors! been out since 2000, they
    just re-issue it every year. there is actually a tsb directed at the
    03 models.
    most of the brake problem cars i've seen have one thing in common.
    a worn spot on the floor mat where someone has beeen 2 footing it.

    My 2002 Grand Cherokee had a major issue. They ended up replacing the
    rotors, pads and calipers. It seems the calipers were not releasing all the
    way causing the rotors to overheat and warp. Brakes were shot at 8K. The
    pedal was like mush.

    Since their TSB covers 1999-2003, I have wonder why it is not a recall.
