Honda Accord Brake Sinks
John’s question:
“I have a new Honda Accord. Rarely, but sometimes when I apply the brakes a little (maybe 1/4 of the way) the brake sinks a bit (maybe it wants to go 1/2 way). Is this normal in how the brakes work?”
Answer:
ABS braking systems can be notoriously weird when it comes to their pedal height. There are numerous valves and switches that are activated when braking, which can make the pedal change where it grabs a little here and a little there. I wouldn’t worry about it unless the pedal goes way down towards the floor and needs to be pumped back up again. That would show a serious problem that would need repairing.
