The dealership told me this was "normal" and they needed to be replaced, which i did. After doing some research, i find that i'm not alone. I've found hundreds of complaints of rear brake problems and i'd like to add my voice to the chorus. I drive mostly on the highway and…

It was not persistent but it was enough to make me feel embarrassed to drive my car. About 2 weeks ago the screeching noise became such a problem b/c 95% of the time i'm driving both rear brakes seem to be making the noise. It sounds like someone is running a metal wire along a metal…

My rear brakes wore out prematurely on my 2008 honda accord at around 18k miles. Honda needs to issue a recall on this, especially since the dealership has acknowledged the problem consistently exists. *tr

Premature brake wear on a 2008 honda accord lx. 25773 miles on car. I took it into the dealer for squealing sound.. They said it was brake pads worn on rear brakes, and a rear rotor needing replacement. They said it was not covered under warranty, even though admitting other people have complained about premature brake pad wear. I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. I paid $347 on repairs for…

Brakes in need of replacement after 19,000 miles. Service manager says he gets 2 or 3 calls/day on this issue and we are lucky the brakes lasted to 19k. Most only last 15-17k. Service manager (and countless others found online) have made honda aware, but no recall, no notification to consumers, no coverage under basic or extended warranties. If this was peeling paint, no problem. These are brakes that last…

Owner of honda accord lx 2008. At 15,000 miles i experienced odd back noise (tinny, airy sound). Dealer downplayed until test drive with me. Checked brakes and informed me all 4 back pads were worn to the metal. Replaced under warranty but i've since learned via internet that the rotors are too small so will probably have the same problem within a year. *tr
