Reason 1: Worn out brake pads, most cars have brake wear indicators meaning you have to replace these pads asap

The shim is loose if this is the problem can you buy just the shim-
6/8/2010 HouseCallAutoMaybe the rotor splash shield is rubbing on the rotor. Did you use Honda OE pads? Maybe the rotors were not machined properly. You should have replaced the rotors as they are usually not worth the machining costs when new rotors can be under $50. Maybe the stainless steel caliper hardware is loose or rubbing.

What causes the front brakes to lock up even if I had changed the brake lines.Gustavus Morante - 1991 Honda Civic - Brakes - 6/3/2010-

6/3/2010 HouseCallAutoI have seen the cause be the pushrod adjustment between the master cylinder and the booster. You could try placing one washer under the mounting ears of the master cylinder to move the master outward slightly as a test and see if it alleviates the brake lock. If it does help, remove the washers and shorten the pushrod an amount equal to the washer thickness. The pushrod is adjustable on most cars. -

Brake lights stay on constantly and will not turn off even if the car is turned off.Dan - 1995 Honda Civic - Brakes - 6/3/2010-
6/3/2010 joseu213I had that same problem. Check the pedals and make sure that the top of the pedal actually pushes the stop light switch all the way back. The previous owner installed the wrong switch (too small) and instead of changing it back he just added a plastic pad to fill the gap. When i bought it the pad was pretty old and it would fall down. The switch works perfectly so instead of changing i just screwed in a screw with a big head where the pad used to be.Now i have no problem with it. -
