Loud screeching noise coming from passenger side rear brakes. Screeching continued to get louder so i brought it into honda expecting the issue to be covered by the warranty. I was informed by the service technician that the rear brake pads needed replacing and the sensor was worn out. He said he has been replacing lots of pads on the new accords and that they seem to be prematurely wearing out. After searching the…

I purchased a 2008 honda accord a year ago. With less than 30k miles i was faced with replacing the rotors and brake pads, costing a total of $400. I'm the mother of 4, so safety is paramount. My prior car was a 2003 honda civic in retrospect, workmanship was far superior to the accord. When i notified my local honda dealer i was bounced between sales and service. If i were to rate them on customer satisfaction,…

2008 honda 4 cyl. Accord ex - premature brake wear. Had to replace rear pads/rotors after only 25k miles, which were all highway miles. Previously owned a 2000 accord, with exact same driving pattern and only replaced every 70k miles. At this rate, i would be spending an additional $3-4k in brake maintenance to get 250k miles! This needs a recall and/or reimbursement for the life of the vehicle. *tr

2008 honda accord with 17000 miles. When braking, the car shakes violently, even more dangerous when roads are wet.

My 2008 accord's rear inner brakes wore prematurely and inconsistently with the rear outer brakes. Inspections of the outer brakes by the dealer service technician led them to assume that the inner brakes were sound, when they were not. While driving at a high rate of speed the car began making a horrible screeching sound and caused me to weave through traffic to get to the side of the road. The dealers service…

The brakes on my car started squealing at 16,000 miles. Honda said the rear brake pads were worn down completely. In checking the web it appears to be a common problem with the rear brakes. This is a potential safety issue since nobody expects their rear brake pads to be worn down in 15 to 20k miles. *tr

My brakes on 2008 honda accord are worn to the metal. All my driving is highway miles, 130 per day to work and back, all highway, no stop and go. Gas mileage was not what it should be prior to brakes wearing down. Now that brakepads are worn down gas mileage is better than sticker on car when purchased. Seems like the calipers are squeezing the living life out of the brake pads, wearing them out. Bad caliper design.…
