October 2001 CrashInjury

Rotors resurfaced and master cylinder replace at 20,000 miles, rotors resurfaced again at 32,000, now need to be replaced and master cylinder going out again. Honda refuses to fix because warranty has expired. Blamed everything from me, to tire rotations, to getting the rotors wet. Will be filing a lemon law suit. Rotors and master cylinders do not wear out 3 times in 42,000 unless there is a defect. I don't ride my brakes and I don't even rotate my tires so those causes are nill.
