Brakes had to be changed at 11,000 miles. Honda said it was normal "wear and tear." brake light came on at 24,000 miles, followed by a crashing shrill sound the day after. Extremely loud, shrill sound with acceleration. Had to get car towed today following incident. This is a safety and quality concern and honda refuses to take responsibility for their defective vehicles. *tr

Premature brake wear on 2008 honda accord. Brought my car (34,000 miles) to my mechanic for an oil change and tire rotation and was told my rear brakes were down to medal. I do primarily long distance driving. Considering there are so many complaints on this and honda is offering a $125.00 rebate back for premature break wear, shouldn't there be a recall? This is a safety hazard. *tr

Experienced shaking when stopping at approximately 33,000 miles and was told that the front and rear rotors needed to be turned. It appears that something is faulty with the braking system and…

I was told my rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord have worn down and need to be replaced soon. I have had the car for slightly less than 2 years and only have 23,342 miles on it. I purchased a new car form honda so this was not a used car. Given the low amount of miles over this time period these brake pads have worn out faster than they should have especially since i have put much less than 15,000 miles per year on…

My 2008 accord ex has abnormal brake wear. At about 25,000 miles, we had to replace the rear brake pads. The wear was extremely uneven, and one side of the brake was worn before the other. The brakes wear out every time at about 25,000 miles, and the sensors go off much too early, at about 15,000 miles. To correct the failure, we replaced the rear brake pads, but it does not fix the abnormal wear. The brakes are…

Rear brakes were replaced after 20,000 on 2008 honda accord. Honda service indicated that 2008 model year change modified when rear brakes engage at stopping. 2008 accords engage the rear brakes a fraction of second prior to front brakes preventing front dipping. This was done without enlarging the caliper/pad/rotor dimensions/capacity. *tr
