Problems with 2005 Honda CR-V SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Abs problem - sacred to drive when it snows i have a 2006 honda crv and honda accord. the problem is more prominent on the crv. when there is snow on the road, abs kicks in and the car does not stop when braking, even when the speed is only 10mph. this happens more if coming down a gradient. the gradient can be very little. this really scares me as i cannot do anything to prevent it. i never had such a problem with my 16 year old honda civic, which didn't have an abs system.. i do agree, that the owners manual says about this. but i don't understand, why the abs has to come online even at very low speeds. abs in effect only increases accidents. we were very lucky so far, that we never had a crash, but were very close to make an accident. *tr

I purchased new a honda crv in june, 2005. on august 15, 2007 with 24,064 miles the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $275.54 which being under warranty honda paid for. on february 16, 2009 with 39,477 miles again the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $342.12 which the dealership paid for as they knew i was very upset. i have called honda customer service about this each time and all they do is note it on my record. i feel that there has to be a problem somewhere that they aren't acknowledging or don't care to. granted i have had no out of pocket expenses but don't feel this should be happening. i feel honda's engineers need to look at this and if necessary change the whole system so i'm not changing rear brakes and rotors every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. i know of several other people who have the same vehicle and have had the same problem. *tr

Vsa diagnostic trouble code. vsa light comes on and off at will. sometimes the vsa light is preceded by a loud banging noise when braking and turning. car jerks and screeches. vsa light goes off when restarting car. dealership will only diagnose and work on under warranty if vsa light is on. after persistent visits to dealership, they were able to diagnose and order a part even though vsa light was off. *tr

On several occasions, my abs and vsa light would come on and you would hear the brake making rattling noise. then the light would shut off and it would be good for a couple of days or a few hours. the lights came on for the last time and stayed on. also the brake went all though way to the floor and it felt like the steering wasn't controllable. the car went to the dealership ct and they found out that it needed a new yaw sensor. since i have had it back fixed it has not happened since. i suggest that anyone who has these issues call your dealership and have them run the computer diag. test on the car. the service manager at the ct dealership said that some of the earlier '05's needed new modulars, to fix this problem... *nm

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. while driving 30 mph, the brake pedal extended to the floor when it was depressed. the vehicle stopped approximately 1 to 2 car lengths away from the original braking point. the failure has occurred four times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer three times, but they could not duplicate the failure. as of july 24, 2007, the failure still persists. the current mileage was 36,332 and failure mileage was 10.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda crv. the contact stated while driving at any speed and attempting to brake, the rear brake would lock, causing the calipers and rotors to overheat. the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who performed a diagnostic that was unable to locate the exact cause for the brake failure. the local mechanic replaced the rotors and brake pads several times but the failure was not corrected. the rear brake continued to lock when the brakes were applied. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.
