You didn't tell us __it's the *second* time__.

I was going to suggest you've got a stuck slider. It seems to be common
on Hondas, even from NEW.

You need a brake job from SOMEBODY WHO CARES, who will slip them all
apart and lube everything with the correct grease, since you'll just
have to do it prematurely again, or worse, you'll shred one side of your
rotor before the wear indicator starts screaming.

Look at the valuable resources at www.tegger.com for more about Honda
brake jobs.

It's another Honda ripoff scheme. I've had my car for 14 years now, it's got 136,000 miles, and
I've never cleaned the fuel injectors and never had any problems. You're being lied to by Honda.

Spaz, That's not a (true) logical statement.

The Original Poster is being lied to by a _ Honda Dealership _ that is
trying to make extra money off him by selling him something he probably
doesn't need. Honda didn't tell the franchisee to sell that 'service' to
the OP..

You're painting with a very wide brush.

Not a ripoff by Honda but by the individual dealer. Honda policy is against
most flush type services and has issued warnings up to and including
franchise removal to repetitive and flagrant ignoring of their warning.
