Weird sound when braking...

Sometimes when I brake, my car makes a sound very similar to the sound of the ABS charging when you first start going after turning on the car.

This has only happened a couple times, but it really concerns me since it sounds so much like the ABS charge. It usually happens when I'm going slow and braking to a full stop, or nearly a full stop.

Anyone had this issue or an idea about what it is..?

well it might be that your pads need changing. I know on my 1st gen that there is a sensor that gives off a sound from my brake to tell me that it is time for a change. take it in to the dealer and have them check it out...that's about the easiest way to figure out what happened.

I've had brakes go out before so I know what that sounds like, plus I only have 9,000 miles on my car..

Well it sounds like you just need new brake pads. Take it to Acura and it should be under warrenty.
