Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. The contact stated that the rear brakes had to be replaced four times within two years. The second time the brakes were replaced, the contact was advised by the dealer that the previous brake pads were inferior.

I have a 2008 honda accord with 28,000 miles on it. With such low mileage, i had to replace to rear brake pads. The dealer tried to tell me it was my driving, which i knew it wasn't. I found an internet site that lists complaints, and just from the one website, there were 85 complaints about premature rear brake pad failure on this car. It is a known honda defect! I called american honda and they said the company…

At 15,580 miles the rear brake pads on my 2008 honda accord exl v-6 sedan were worn down and needed to be replaced. The front pads are fine. I have driven various other vehicles and have never had to replace the brake pads after so short of a mileage. The service consultant at my honda dealer showed my the pad and they are very small. I was informed by my honda dealer that the pads are too small and they are wearing…

2008 honda accord, 4 door, v6 - premature brake wear. The rear brake pads on my car are now needing replacement at only 12,500 miles. I have called american honda and they say this is only a maintenance item and not currently a recall or warranty repair item. With brake pads wearing this quickly people will not be able or willing to pay for replacement/repair on a timely basis. This will lead to these cars being on…

Most of my driving is highway miles. At 29500 the rear brakes needed to be replaced already. The vehicle was not even 1 year old and the rear brakes go out first. Usually on my most cars front or rear wheel drive cars, the front brakes tend to go out faster than the rear brakes. After doing research it turns out, i am not the only problem with this issue on this car. Turns out as well the dealerships know of this…

I only have 19000 miles on my car and i already need new brake pads. I talked to honda and it is not covered under warranty. Also, i talked to another mechanic for a second opinion and he showed me the brake pads and rotors. The rotors were fine but the brake pads were almost completely gone. The inside pads were thinner then the outer pads which leads me to believe that there is a defect in my brakes. Also the…

The rear brakes of my 2008 honda accord have worn out prematurely. (32230 miles) the dealership stated it is normal for this car because the rear brake pads are built very small and thin. After checking the internet, it seems that the normal wear is between 20000 and 30000 miles. The average american driver simply can not believe that the problem they are having, such as noise and vibrations is due to rear brake…

The brakes on my 2008 honda accord lx had to be replaced at 13,000 and again at 25,000 miles. This is crazy and i believe this is a defect. At anywhere from $160. To 250. Each time - it's a total rip off and deceitful. *tr

Premature rear brake pad wear on 2008 honda accord exl v6. Multiple websites stating that this is a common problem some stating that honda corp. Is aware but is not willing to do anything about it. I had to replace rear brakes @ 25,000 miles which are 90 percent freeway miles. This is not acceptable. I recommend you do a google search to see how many people are affected by this problem. *tr

I have a 2008 honda accord and have only drive 15000 miles (mostly highway) and now i have to replace the brakes due to a manufacturing defect made by honda. The corporate office is aware of the problem and is "looking into it" but by the time they get finished with their investigation i will probably have spent one thousand dollars on brake maintenance. I hope your agency can look into this matter and pressure…

2008 honda accord 4cyl sedan rear brake pads wearing out in 18,000 miles. The dealership came up with some poor reasons including my driving skill level as to the reason why. Not covered by warranty and honda replacement brake shoes are not available except at dealership. I found a website called auto beef where at least 55 others had similar experiences. Seems like they changed the rear brake design to a flawed one…

Took car in for oil change at 20,718 was told my rear brakes need to be replaced. Service manager told us this was not under warranty and i was responsible for the brake cost. This seems to be a problem with the 08 accord. Honda needs to address the issue, brakes should not need replaced this soon. *tr

Premature rear brake wear out on 2008 honda accord. Occurs on most 08 accords at 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Consequence: some people would not replace because it would be totally unexpected to have the wear at low mileages. Accidents have resulted. *tr

2008 honda accord, started making horrible scraping noise after just 15k miles. Went to dealer for service and was told that the new 08 accords have alloy wheels and coupled with the salt in the air from living near the beach causes the noise. Come to find out the rear brake pads were metal to metal and cost 287.01 to be replaced at my expense. I complained that the brakes should not be going out this soon and was…

I own a 2008 honda accord with a little over 13,000 miles on it. The rear brakes are completely worn down and need to be replaced. I've done some research on the internet and have found that this is a huge issue with this particular car. Honda needs to recall this, because it is an obvious defect in design that my local dealer refuses to fix under warranty. I have yet to call honda, but from what everybody else has…

I have a 2008 honda accord with 33,140 miles on it, predominantly highway miles. The brakes started grinding. After an inspection, i'm told that all my brake pads and rotor are completely worn and all need to be replaced. This unacceptable. Brake pads and rotor should not wear out after 33,000 miles. While honda admits there is a problem, they will do nothing about it. *tr
