I have read a few reviews '17 MDX that seem to contradict each other about brake fading. A friend of mine who is in tune to this says his '17 MDX experiences this on some down hill roads ...
Has anyone else experiance this ?
Curious

I regularly tow a 3000 lb. camper in hilly country and have no problem stopping with my '14 MDX. In contrast, my 2006 CRV feels like it's being pushed with a lighter trailer.

brake fade is the result of friction and the buildup of heat.
with that being said; be aware of the conditions ahead of you and adjust your speed accordingly. As noted by the poster above, he probably doesn't drive like a maniac while towing thus controlling his load

Right.. Thanks much. I am more concerned as I transverse hilly environments and was curious how well the brakes stand up as such....
