Our honda has less than 15,000 miles when i took it in for an oil change and was told that rear brakes had only 2% left on them. I was told i would need to pay for the brakes since they were not covered under warranty. I refused to pay for the brakes and honda came back with an offer to pay 75% of the cost. Since brakes are a safety issue i felt i had no choice but to pay the 25%. Another customer was replacing his…

My 2008 honda accord has the rear brakes failing after 16,000 miles. After doing some research i realized that honda is ignoring a systematic problem that requires a recall. This is a serious safety issue if thousands of 2008 hondas have brakes that fail every 15,000 miles.

Rear brake rotors warped prematurely at only 9104 miles, causing the vehicle to shake violently and making it difficult to come to a safe stop. Rotors were not replaced by honda, but resurfaced instead. They also did not replace the pads. These repairs occurred on 07-23-2009. Rear brake pads will also need to be replaced soon, as noted by the extremely rapid wear that is occurring (current mileage 13,320). *tr

The rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord are wearing out far faster than seems reasonable. The first time they wore out was at approximately 14,000 miles while this second instance has happened at about 26,000 miles. The brakes start making a very loud metallic grinding noise and reduced braking power with almost no warning. Honda's solution to this problem is to simply say it's normal brake wear on the vehicle and…

I purchased my honda 2008 accord lx 4dr/4cyl in january of 2009. While driving it after 17,000miles i had odd brake noises from the rear of the car. When i took it to the dealership they told me my rear brake pads had worn to nothing. This is an alarming rate for rear brake pads. On all other cars i've owned i haven't had rear brake pads wear out before 40,000 miles. I had to have these replaced again at 32,000…

Rear disc brakes on a 2008 accord exl v6 have worn out at only 19,328 miles. Inner pads on each side of axle are dramatically thinner than the outer pad, possibly indicating a proportioning problem. Rear discs should not wear out so quickly and there appears to be numerous 08 and 09 accord owners with similar complaints about the rear braking system needing repair/replacement on a very frequent basis. Complaints to…

2008 honda accord w/ 36,000 miles. Noise from rear brake pad wear indicators. Rear brakes pads were wore down to wear indicator on one side of each rear disc with very little wear on opposite pad, "very uneven brake wear". Honda of greeley in colorado did brake pad replacement with no corrections or mentions of a problem with uneven brake wear. Front rotors at the same time had to be resurfaced due to warp, however…

2008 honda accord. During normal service by selling dealer at 9,300 miles was notified that the rear brake pads need to be replaced. Was told this was a problem with "this model". Was not charged for this repair as was deemed a warranty issue. Dealer has checked to be sure there has not been a re-design of pads- and there has not been. A check on consumer reports web site under the forum for honda shows this is a…

Today when i had the car serviced by honda dealer, was advised that the rear brakes needed replacement at 19,000 miles. The majority of my driving, at least 80% is highway with very little stop and go. I have been driving for 40+ years and i never had this problem. My last car, a toyota camry, di not replace rear brakes until 90,000 miles. Honda claims this is normal wear. *tr

My front brakes were worn down to 7 mm out of 8mm! My rear pads were worn down to 1 mm of surface pad! They were basically gone! The red line for rear brake…

I bought a 2008 honda accord on november 30, 2007. My brakes started squealing shortly after. Squeaky brakes do not indicate a defect so i waited until my first oil change at 8k miles but the squeaking did not go away. I complained to the service rep who said they visually inspected the brakes and everything looked fine. They suggested it would go away. At 12k miles and my second oil change, i had the same…

The rear inside brake pads on my 2008 honda accord, which has 23k miles, are severely worn and had to be immediately replaced. The rear outside brake pads, however, show normal wear for the car's mileage. An internet search of this problem indicated thousands of similar complaints affecting 2008 to present honda accords and represents a safety hazard that could lead to serious injury or death. *cn

2008 honda accord ex. Rear brakes worn at 21,000 miles. Logic prevents me from believing this is reasonable or customary. All miles are open road highway miles. Owner does not know brakes are worn until there is a metal grinding sound..by that time brake pads need to be cut lessening life of rotors. Dealership and company refuses to acknowledge unusual/premature wear and remedy issue. *tr
