Re: cant stop
You guys' compaint is kinda typical of a couple of things.
Have you looked at the rotors in the rear? I don't know if Hondas have any problems, but GM 4Wdisc systems had a long-standing problem with siezed hardware in the rears, the back brakes were not doing a damn thing back there....easy to spot, because one or both sides of the rear rotors would have surface rust on the friction face, since the brake pads were not cleaning them off...
Also, I've run across some similat complaints on cars that were previously owned by older drivers (I know this because I did work for both the seller and buyers) who tend to make loooonnngggg drawn out stops...the bias is to the front brakes, when you brake like that, only the front apply...over time the rears will sieze, and the front is doing all the work, which is not too noticeable on FWD cars, until you really NEED to stop, then you get what you are describing, a nice solid but ineffective pedal...many times a lot of warpage of the front rotors occurs due to overworking and excess heat, and the rears will grind as they try to apply but only make light dragging contact with the rotors...
Some stuff to consider. See if that jives with what you have....
