    I purchased a 2008 honda accord exl automatic v6 in september 2007. On nov 14, 2008 the dealership informs me that the rear brakes are worn down to the rotors and need to be replaced at 29-30,000 miles. Never have i replaced breaks this soon on a new vehicle.

    2008 honda accord rear brakes wearing pre maturely. The rear brake pads are wearing completely out around 20k to 30k miles. The inner brake pads seem to wear 80% more than the outer brake pads. Could become a safety issue for some. *tr

    Vehicle brakes wear extremely fast. 6 months into normal use, and the pads and rotors are of poor quality. New, and squealing after 1 month of use. Pressure on pedal must be used more as the breaks wear. *tr

From my own personal experience and others…

    I would like to suggest that nhtsa investigate the braking system on the 2008 honda accord and other models with the same braking system. Brakes seem to be experiencing premature wear and rotors are becoming warped at 30,000 miles or much sooner. Hundreds of other 2008 honda accord owners have complained of the same problem on car related forums. I realize that brakes are typically a wear and tear thing, but the…

Their '08, '09, and '10 models have defective brakes. Honda canada admits it. Honda usa has yet to issue a recall. Do a google search for "honda accord brake problem". Or check out this website:…
