Premature brake wear on 2008 honda accords. The brakes on my 2008 honda accord needed to be replaced at 17,000. Honda claims this is normal wear and tear; however, any seasoned driver knows brakes should last much longer. After some research on the internet, it appears that this is a common problem among 2008 and 2009 accords. Some are having to replace brakes at 9,000 miles. To me, this is a safety hazard. I had no…

The 2008 honda accord has a braking system that wears too quickly. I am already due to change the rear brake pads and i only have 18500 miles on my vehicle. My brother also had to change his brakes on his 08 accord and honda would not repair for free. Obviously this braking system is defected and not safe for the simple fact that no reasonable human being should have to replace brakes on their vehicle before…

I purchased a brand new 2008 honda accord ex 2.4l in may of 2008. Since then i have had numerous brake problems including early wear of the rear brake pads and warping of the rotors(starting at about 19,000 miles). My vehicle currently has 35,000 miles and under normal circumstances i do not believe that brake pads or rotors should deteriorate at such low miles. According to the 2008 honda accord rear brake pad…

There was not indication of the failure prior to failure. Failure of rear brakes and rotors occurred due to premature wear. I had to replace the rotors and pads, but calipers still sticking, meaning that i will be back shortly for another repair of rear brakes. Told by dealership that they are seeing tons of this problem on the 2008 and 2009 honda accords, some with as little as 9k miles. I was told that they…

I am a victim of premature rear brake pads and possible worn rotors. I first started experiencing a loud screeching noise coming from the rear brakes in the summer of 2009. I also heard that noise everytime i put the car in reverse and started reversing. I brought the car in for an oil change in october 2009 and advised them of the situation. They claimed they heard nothing and to wait for the next service to…

I have a 2008 honda accord. Was told by dealer rear brake pads needed to be replaced after 15,000 mile service. Cost me $200. Dealer says that it wouldn't cover the cost and there's nothing they could do and that i should complain to honda corporate. I have filed a report with honda. Totally unreasonable for a car's rear brakes to be replaced every 15,000 miles. *tr

Premature rear brake wear on my 2008 honda accord lx. Only 11,000 miles. This is not normal. Paid $250 just to get brakes replaced. Reported problem to honda and bbb but nothing has been done because they are saying that is normal wear and tear. However those brakes should at least last for another 20,000 miles before they need to be replaced. I found on the web many other consumers like me with the same problem.…

Our 2008 accord had 29,000 miles on it when the brakes began squealing. The honda dealer checked it and said we needed new rear brake pads and the rotors needed turning. I called honda america they, like the dealer, said it was a wear and tear item. I had an independent mechanic to replace the pads. He said the rotors did not need turning. My mechanic said he had never seen pads wear that quick. It must be a defect…

Premature brake wear on 2008 honda accord. At about 13,500 miles, dealer said rear brake pads needed replacement. I protested and they said i could go until brakes were squeaking. Had to have them replaced today at 19,653. There are many similar complaint on line. I think needing to replace pads every 20k miles indicates a product that warrants a recall. I've had hondas and other cars in the past with no similar…

I own a 2008 honda accord exl, the rear brake pads are already worn out and i am not even at 20k. I have brought it to a honda dealer who says that i am not the first person to report this problem. I find that this is completely unacceptable especially for the kind of car i bought, a honda, which is supposed to be a trustworthy, reliable car and owner's should not be forced with replacing brake pads every 20k.
