2008 rear brake pads gone at 21,500 miles, mostly highway driving. I called the dealer where i bought the car from and was told that 1. It's not covered under warranty and 2. Honda put smaller pads. I owned 6 new cars never had this problem, very disappointing with honda and if they don't fix this problem i'll never buy honda again.*tr

2008 honda accord lx, premature rear brake pad wear. The first time i had them replaced my car had 14,000 miles, just bought it 5 month ago. Second time was only 3 months later. Dealer states, "normal " the problem is that it's the same brake pad and only one side wears out. It is hard to believe that a new car needs brake pad replacements every three months. The front brakes are still good. *tr

My rear brakes were replaced today after only 21k of wear ( worn down to the metal indicators). I was handed the line just like everyone else who's had this problem that since honda changed over to 4 wheel disc brakes the rear brake pads are thinner and therefore wear faster (my front brakes hat 50% left!). I don't buy it. Why would honda, a manufacturer whose name is synonymous with "quality," make such an error in…

Defective rear brake pads. 2008 honda accord coupe exl with 12k miles. The car was bought in may 2008 and only has little over 12k miles on it and the rear brake pads already needs changing. I called the dealer where i bought the car from and was told that honda had bought on small pads in the back but there doesn't seem to be a fix in for the small pads and the brakes are not covered under warranty. I also did a…

My honda accord 08 steering wheel vibrates and shakes as when i press on the brake traveling 60+ miles on the freeway. Honda dealer told me that i should replace the brakes and i did but still has the same problem. I feel unsafe driving my car on the freeway. And replacing brakes when my car has only 20,000 miles does not make any sense to me. My steering wheel started to shake when the car had less than 10,000…

While driving on an interstate my car increased my normal braking so bad that the car completely stopped on a winter road, causing the cars behind me to almost hit me. I wasn't able to accelerate right away so i shut the engine off and back on, then i could release the brakes. It happened a second time 2 miles ahead. This was pretty annoying, scary and dangerous. The car is now at the shop, i'm waiting for the…

Honda accord 2008 sedan lx... There is a "metal grinding against metal" sound from the rear. Went to authorized dealership only to be told that the rear brake pads are gone. I purchased this car new in april 2008. It has done only 13k miles. The dealer admits that it's very early to have rear brake pads worn out. Looked online and found many consumers of 2008 accord facing the same issues. It's high time honda wakes…

Brakes on a 2008 accord coupe wore out in the rear much earlier than expected. I found them to need replacing at 27,500 miles. Brake pads were worn down and needed replaced. They are too small for the size and weight of this vehicle. This is a safety hazard that is being ignored by honda. *tr

Car purchased 11/21/08. On or about 12/10/08, brakes began to make a loud, squeaking, squealing noise, and began to fade, esp. Going around corners,uphill, and on parking garage surfaces. I am very concerned about them fading and having to release and re-brake from any speed. They are loud, getting louder, persistently loud and fading and very often, braking inadequately from all speeds ! Car has been in 4 times to…
