2012 Honda Pilot brake issues Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Brake Repair Help Dbennion9 New User Nov 29, 2017, 7:13 AM Post #1 of 3 (1781 views) 2012 Honda Pilot brake issues Sign In I purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot in Late April of this year. It was a Honda certified car and upon purchase I was given a list of literally hundreds of checks that had been done on the car. I drove the car for about 6 weeks on the tweedy at moderate speeds 65 mph or so. Six weeks after purchase, I drove out of state and got to higher speeds 75-80 mph. I noticed significant shimmy when applying brakes at higher speeds. I was out of town for nearly four months, and I am taking the car to the dealership today. Do I have a legitimate argument that the repair ought to be covered under certified warranty? I also bought an extended warranty at significant expense. My understanding is that rotors last from 30k to 70k miles, and the car had 42k miles on it when I purchased it. Shouldn't their inspection have included a drive at highway speeds to test the brake system. Signed frustrated in Phoenix.

They are then just that much thinner and braking is incredibly HEAT which warps rotors in this case bet fronts as they do 70% of the work and just hotter in AZ plus higher speed use they couldn't take it. They can be checked for "run-out" or see blue on some that have sustained excessive heat. When found see what your possible coverage is if any but suspect you will need to totally redo the front brakes (w new rotors) a strong educated guess with that history, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 29, 2017, 7:59 AM Post #3 of 3 (1766 views) Re: 2012 Honda Pilot brake issues Sign In The only way that would have been found is either by using a dial indicator on each rotor to measure runout but I expect a tech on flat rate would never take that much time to do that. Driving it at those speeds in the highway would have also disclosed the problem but I'm sure the shop would have restrictions against driving a customer's car that fast also so Yes, I think you have a legitimate claim to replace the rotors at no cost. Don't let them simply resurface them as the problem will return even sooner after removing more metal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
