I took my car into the dealership regarding a strange noise to find out that my rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced. This totally took me by surprise since my car only has 19,897 miles and only has had the car for 16 months. When i stated to the service tech that "seems very early to be replacing rear brakes" he stated that on this model that is what they are seeing since this model car is heavier. I think…

Premature rear brake failure at only 25,000 miles. Sticking rear calipers causing excessive wear on brakes and decreased fuel mileage. Engine cooling fan causes headlights to dim at night every 30-40 seconds causing a major safety and visibility concern. Dealer refused to fix either problem under warranty. *tr

Was planning a long drive two days b/4 i heard a squealing. Had it checked by dealer who told me the rear brakes were worn out. What? After only 16,000 miles? There's only two times new rear brakes should wear out in that amount of time: never and never ever! Three thousand of those miles were highway on a previous trip to florida and back. Dealer could not explain it. Said the car was engineered new for 2008.…

My 2008 honda accord needs rear brakes replaced. I was told at 18000 miles that i will need brakes next oil change. Now at 25000 miles noise is unbelievable. Never before on any new car that owned did i need rear brakes replaced at such low mileage of mostly highway miles. Reading through all the complaints about brakes i am shocked that there is no recall at this time. I hope that nhtsa is working for the people…

2008 honda accord premature rear brake wear-out at 17,000 miles. Called honda of america and was told brake noise was a normal feature. Told rep that if she wished me to remain civil she needed to stop the garbage. She opened a case number and told me to take to dealer. Took to dealer who replaced rear pads and resurfaced rotors as "goodwill repair" - good for them! But this ridiculously fast - and widespread (do a…

After 15,000 miles of majority highway miles the oem rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord ex-l 4 door v6 were completely worn out. The brakes were worn only on the inside pad. The outside pad looked almost brand new. Honda informed me that this is normal wear and tear, but i have never seen rear brakes fail after 150000 miles on any vehicle before. The original cost for repair would have been $190, but the service…

Interior rear brake pads wearing out extremely prematurely. Front brake pads and rear outside pads are all fine. Likely problem is in the rear brake caliper piston. Honda states that the brake pads are a wear and tear item and not covered. However, uneven brake pad wear is indicative of a mechanical issue and, in the case of brakes, a major safety concern. *tr

Heard metal grinding noises; assumed it was the brakes. I took it in to honda for an inspection. I was told the rear brakes needed to be replaced. Brakes should not have to be replaced after one yr four months - especially rear only. Front brakes should go first on front wheel drive. Was told it was designed that way. Owned two other accords in past. Brakes last two - three years. We should be informed of this…

Bought my 2008 accord in october 2007. Shortly after buying i noticed the brakes squeaked upon stopping especially in rain and cold. I never had it looked at, because to be honest the brakes worked and i didn't want the headache of taking the car in to be looked at. Then at roughly 23,500 miles i started hearing a high pitched noise and upon braking it would feel like sand was grinding in my brakes. It came and went…
