2008 honda accord according to repair records has had the front brakes repaired twice since i bought the car 7 months ago. Being told all 4 rotors are warped but it is not a safety issue.

It appears that the 2008 honda accord was equipped with defective/wrong fitting rear brakes. My accord was no exception. When your rear brakes are worn out at 15000 miles and they go before the front ones do, something is definitely wrong. Honda will not accept any type of responsibilty. I only hope/pray that no one is injured or killed because of their defective product. *tt

I felt this was…

I have a 2008 honda accord ex-l. The brakes vibrate roughly when used and shake the entire car when stopping, this should not be a problem with a car with so few miles on it. It seams that the brakes have something wrong with them or they are wearing down way too quickly. *tr
