Hi, I'm going to try my best to explain this as my father explained it to me. I don't know much about the mechanics of my Honda so I had to translate from my dad (who is my mechanic). Ask any questions if you need to!
I've had my 03 Honda Element for 5 years. Recently, I had an issue where I was driving and the brakes would get stuck. I didn't even need to press on the brake for the car to brake, and I couldn't get it out of the second gear. This will happen once the brakes warm up, so I am able to drive just fine for like, 5 or 6 miles before my brakes lock up.
Within the last week, the master cylinder was replaced as were the calipers and the brake pads. However, I am still having this issue. I ran into a post with someone having the same issue and their problem was they needed to replace the master cylinder. I haven't been able to find another post with the same problem I'm having. Since the master cylinder has been replaced and the issue persists, did we miss something? We think it may be a problem with the brake booster but did not want to spend additional money replacing something that may not need to be replaced.
I am curious as to if it is an easy fix that we may have missed and can take care of at home rather than taking it to fix at a Honda dealership. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this has been such a frustrating issue this past week.
Thank you!
