Right now I'm not sure we are going to make it home. There is a hell of a noise coming out of the rear brake area. I'm hoping it is a rock in the brakes but I am afraid it may be a wheel bearing. I'm trying to get in to the local Honda dealer but they are booked until Monday. I am going tomorrow to beg and plead.

Had a rear wheel bearing go out on me at the Dragon one year.... spent the day at Airport Honda getting it fixed.... Denny & Sharon went with us...

Car problems are never any fun!

The Honda dealer claims it is not a bearing. There is a worn/stuck/loose brake pad that is making the noise. They said I should have no problem getting home.

They didn't have the pads in stock plus there was no charge! I had 4 mechanics looking at it! Most had never seen one on the lift.
