I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here and say he knows what hill assist is and there's something else going on at this point. If he was already moving, even the sliiiightest bit, hill assist wouldn't have activated. It only activates once you have depressed the brake pedal for over 1 second at a complete stop while on an incline. It's kinda fun to play around with and see how it behaves if you can find an empty hill.Wow the OP truly doesnāt know jack about these cars.
I am thrice now telling you itās a rock between your dust shield and rotor. If your pads were constantly dragging you would see more pad material on the rotor and it would turn blue. The brakes grabbing on the incline is the hill assist function. Your āloss in powerā is more than likely a bit of placebo / paranoia along with warmer temps.
Stop being lazy and do an inspection on your vehicle. Scan for DTC error codes. The electronics on this car are pretty sophisticated
fuckin spooky ghosts, man
I'd believe it. I work in the software side of this industry and see scummy things every single day because I have full, unfiltered access to every bit of data the GMs like hiding. Would you believe me if I told you one of our largest dealership groups' GMs is now having us search for and purge any customer notes that contain anything racist? Fuckers knew they were being so racist in the notes for years that they had to go and have us get rid of the evidence after all this BLM shit started. Of course they're in Texas, too.As far as Duval Honda and any other "Duval Dealers" Duval Ford, Duval Mazda, do not ever take a vehicle there or buy from them. My wife used to work there and the owner is a corrupt drug running pimp. He is the biggest piece of shit and treats the employees like trash. The dealerships themselves are a by product of there owner and the management he hires in. All they'll do is try to pull a quick one on anyone that they can and rip you off. The owner has been known to go to the vault/safe during the day and pull out stacks to wave around and the hot chick employees offering some chedder for pleasuring him. I know this sounds like a joke but it's all the truth. I lived in Jacksonville for 27 years (born and raised). I hope you pursue them if they really screwed you over. As far as your rotors they look normal to me but I'm not there to see how the car is driving and reacting. Hope you get it all worked out.
Shit, I didn't know that. Makes sense though. The more you knowAre your wheels scorching hot after a short drive with blue tinted rotors? That would tell you if you have any calipers/pads dragging as well as wheel bearing issues.
It sounds like it happens only when you slow down to a certain slow speed. That would point to something that is resonating.Here's a video for all you non believers. Watch this video. I told you I was delusional or crazy. This isn't normal you can CLEARLY hear it.
Anybody got some ideas so I can tell Honda how to fix it....
Man I'm pissed. This is a safety issue no doubt.

Can you point to an illustration or diagram where the spring pulls the pads away from the disc? My impression has always been that the spring presses radially inward toward the hub, in order to keep the pads securely seated in the caliper. It does prevent rattles and noise, which could explain the symptoms OP was having. I have never seen a brake caliper that pulls pads away from the disc because that would just introduce insane slack into the braking system.Just blew through the thread and have seen a lot of stuff talked about. As to the indications of the pads not clearing the rotors when the brakes are not engaged and adding drag... and I didnāt see it asked: are retainer springs installed? If they arenāt but the little hole to set them in the pads are there, adding them should ensure the pads move off the rotor by spring pressure once your off the brake and the caliper is no longer applying pressure to the pad.
if youāre not familiar with them... theyāre generally a W shaped spring that is attached to the inner and outer pad and are always applying force to push the pad away from the rotor. Might be a little hard to see with the wheels on.
Donāt have a CTR and havenāt done pads on this Si yet so Iām not sure of the design. Thereās a few different variants and they can look a little different. I did the Odysseyās brakes most recently and I recall that being a W or U shaped spring to spread. Thereās also little retainer pieces that fit into the caliper assembly the let it slide on that, if missing, can make some slop.It sounds like it happens only when you slow down to a certain slow speed.

Ah, thatās very interesting. I havenāt seen those type of springs before. Iām also amazed the Odyssey has 2 piston calipers. Having looked at the service manual, Iām pretty sure the brembos donāt have those and instead have some sheet metal retaining springs that just hold the pads in.Donāt have a CTR and havenāt done pads on this Si yet so Iām not sure of the design.

If you skip this video to around the 7 minute mark... youāll see the reinstall and how the retainer spring gets squeezed and goes in little holes on the outside of the pad and that spring tension from the U trying to open helps move the pad from the rotor. Making sure everything is nice and greased up... thereās little stainless clip-in channels the pad slides in and the slide pins of course make it all move smooth.
For their small size... they do put a decent amount of tension. Iāve had them shoot across the garage before when I had them slip trying to hook into the second padās hole. Entertaining.
At about 5000 lbs with a family of 5 in it... it needs all the help it can get. Iām running some Akebonos in it that do a decent job and the old J35 works to move it along but it always feels as heavy as it is to me.Ah, thatās very interesting.
