2008 honda accord brake rotors had to be resurfaced at 14,000 miles and again at 22,000 miles. Dealer and manufacturer are not willing to be responsible for this problem on a car that is mostly highway driving and requires comparatively little use of the brakes. Suspect poor quality metals in the rotors as every car or truck ever owned has lasted 60,000 + miles before requiring this work. *tr
