well i just took my car to the dealership again for the third time in 2 1/2 months for the damn brakes. i have gone thru 1 master cylinder and now they are gonna replace my calipers. hopefully this will do the trick. would hate to have to lemon law the car. since i have only had the car for 4 months

Yeah, the brakes are the weakest point on my ride as well. I doubt I will let Acura screw with them and just upgrade the rotors, brake pads and brake fluid myself. :) BTW, my rotors are warped already and I need to do something soon. :( Honda is not known for great brake setups. :banghead:

Clutch and Brakes are the weakest point in the CL9 ... IMO.

About brakes, now its kinda warm outside and my brakes are staring to squeek again (like last summer) when I drive slow (<20/35 km/h) and turn. This is something with the brakes cuz when I gently apply the brakes, the noise goes away. This is very annoying - it makes the car sound like a piece of junk...but only when I turn.

Any clues on what I could do to remedie this ? thanks

Wow, that's odd indeed. I love the brakes on my wife's TSX - smooth, easy to modulate, and with a great initial bite. I hope they last.
