My rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord are shot after 25,000 miles. I had to get the brake pads replaced and rotors fixed at a cost of $276. This seems very premature for a new car. I have never experienced this in any new car that i have owned. This needs to be fixed by honda but they just say it is "not covered by warranty". Please help!!! *tr

2008 honda accord - went in for regular maintenance at 16,000 miles. Rear brake pads at 2mm and was told they needed to be replaced. This is a front wheel drive car, the brakes were not making any noise or indication they were worn out. Being charged by honda dealership $300 to replace. This seems to be a defect on the braking system by honda, why would rear brakes wear out so fast compared to front? *tr

I have a 2008 honda accord ex sedan with automatic transmission. The rear disc brake pads wore out before 28,000 miles & had to be replaced. The honda dealer stated that this is a common problem with many accords & at this time honda has no information when or if a redesign of the rear pads is being considered. This is not a warranty covered issue & owners pay full cost to replace the pads. The servicing honda…

2008 honda accord lx-p purchased in august, 2008 now requires complete brake pad replacement after only 20,026 miles on the rear brakes. Strange that rear brakes would require replacement on a front-wheel drive car after so few miles. After researching online, thousands of people are seeing the same exact issue. Some only after 6,000 miles. *tr

2008 honda accord has chronic rear brake issues. I have approximately 31,000 miles on a 2008 accord and my rear brakes have needed replacement twice. I have not had to replace the front brakes. Honda says that this is normal wear and tear, but i disagree. There are numerous complaints online about the same issue. I think that honda should issue a recall for this part of the car. It is a safety issue. Most people are…

I purchased a 2008 honda accord in february 2008 and so far i have gone through 2 sets of rear brake pads in 28,000 miles. All the while my brakes continue to make noise (squeak and grind). I have had the car at the dealership 4 times over the last year trying to remedy this problem with no cure. The dealer insists that this kind of brake wear is "normal" for this car and the rear brakes need to be replaced every…

Premature brake wear on 2008 honda accord. Had them replaced by own mechanic and found out months later honda was aware of the problem. Contacted them in 1 day they agreed to reimburse us in full. They said honda was working to see how to correct the problem but would not to a recall because they do not consider it a safety issue. They said for now honda will continue to replace up to 3 years unlimited miles. *tr

Rear brake pads on 2000-2009 honda accord wear out within 1 year or so -- 18 months in our case. Usually rear brake pads last for many years. This is a serious potential safety hazard. Honda has received many complaints about this, but is still refusing to admit any problem through a tsb or recall. I don't think anyone is expecting to have their brakes be completely gone that fast. My wife had a near miss accident…

I am the owner of a 2008 honda accord 4-door lx-p sedan (automatic transmission), which was purchased in january of 2008. Beginning in december of 2008, i detected an intermittent noise which can best be described as the sound of air moving through a straw when applying the brakes, which was sustained through subsequent acceleration until repeated application and release of the brakes caused the noise to cease. It…

Premature brake wear on honda accord 2008 models. These new cars require expensive brake repairs (new rotors and brakes) as frequently as every 15k miles. Please see all the complaints at: http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2008/brakes/premature_brake_wear.shtml this is dangerous because there are so many other people who may not know that their rear brakes are failing so soon after purchasing a new car.…

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change and was informed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The contact inspected the old rear brake discs and learned that the abs in the newer hondas will place more wear on the rear brakes because they have thinner pads. He would not have known about this had he not gone to the dealer. Therefore, he believes…

Audi brake warning at 30000 miles, brought vehicle following day to dealer service dept. Service dept found it necessary to resurface to rotors and replaced pads. Considering front brakes have 15000 miles left on them this should not have happened to the rear brakes. I consider this a manufacturer design flaw and should be recalled. Warranty refused to pay for this procedure. What will happen in another 30000 miles…

I have had my 2008 accord ex-l w/navi in for brake service five times. 27,042 miles. I believe this problem is very wide spread based on the number of complaints on line. It's possible there are many vehicles out there with bad brakes due to owners having no idea there is a problem with their brakes so soon in the life of the car. First incident was in the first week of ownership. Dealer had to replace rear rotors…

Took my new 2008 honda accord coupe ex-l v6 to my local honda dealership service department in early 2009 to investigate why my brakes consistently squeal extremely loudly at only ~15,000 miles, and they told me they didn't know, couldn't reproduce the problem, and even told me my brake pads were in excellent condition. I took the car back to another dealership a few months later for the same problem and they told…
