"Brake" Cluster light problem.
That's the same exact thing that's been happening to me 5 lug. I've refilled the brake reservoir twice already this year and it's happening again. My friend suspects that there has to be a faulty brake cylinder, where else can those fluids have gone. The first time it happened I sent it to the dealers and came back with a reason of "Low and Dirty fluid" and $141.00 for just that, OUCH. I went ahead and drained it and fill it back. A couple months later it started acting up again. So I figure it can't be dirty so my friend filled it up. And now its back to that dillemma again. Where da hell are the fluids going! I'm afraid to bring it back to the dealers. There has to be some recall with this stuff. I know that I've encounter this same problem @ superhonda.com site but no one has ever mention of any recalls. uurgh!

Blurr: That's certainly NOT a recall. Brake parts are wear items and will eventually wear out. This shouldn't be news to any car owner. If the fluid is leaking, you should be able to track it easily. Check where the master cylinder mounts to the booster and look for leakage. Brake fluid will destroy paint so if this has been leaking awhile, it'll be obvious. Then take off the wheels (after putting the car on jack stands of course) and check the brake lines. Fluid is also stored in the caliper so check the caliper too (seals can tear/wear). If you are noticing this after are out of brake pad material than it's likely just from the brake pads being worn down. If it's just leaking out and needing a full refill every few months than it's likely leaking. Just buy and replace everything that you find wrong. If the car is under warranty and you find a problem you can see if they'll replace it since failure at <50k shouldn't be horribly common. Otherwise, you'll have to do it yourself or pay a mechanic to fix it.
