2004 Acura MDX Brakes Problems |
I have an used 2004 Acura MDX. One month ago my brakes strating to “froze” on. They didn’t lock up but when I released the accelerator my car came to an immediate stop. The brakes
became very stiff during this situation happened. About a week ago this
problem happened again. I had to push the pedal to the floor to stop.
If I pumped the brakes they would work good but not for long and the
stopping force became worse. It is definitely not safe to drive. I am
hoping that someone may have an idea what this could be and tell me if
it is something I might be able to fix myself.
Answer: I’m affraid that your acura front brake calipers have frozen. Take of the top of the brake fluid
bottle. Remove the calipers and, using a ‘G’ or ‘C’ clamp push both the
pistons back into the calipers. Remove the rubber boot and thoroughly
clean the inside of the caliper. Replace the caliper and bleed (if needed) the system.
