This is a known issue with the Acuras. The master cylinder
simply needs to be replaced. Do NOT go the the dealer. Get one
off eBay ( where I did ) for around $80.00, then have it
installed by a small local auto shop. The whole thing was less
than $150.00. The Aura dealer wanted $225.00 for labor +
parts. Yeah, right...and monkeys might fly out of my butt.
