Rear brake pad wear which ruined the rotors at 21,000. I replaced and repaired the brakes only to have the same problem recur at 42,000 miles. I have not had to replace the front pads yet. This is clearly a safety issue although honda doesn't seem to agree nor have they fixed the quality of the pads. They continue to put the same defective pads on the cars. I cannot believe a recall has not been required. Toyota had…

Honda accord 2008 has a brake problem (rear) pads simply disintegrate at 28,000 miles. Call to manufacturer honda on the telephone the representative confirmed a class action law suit but did not offer any solution like honda to fix the problem. No action was deemed necessary as it was not safety related. From when did not able to stop your car become a non safety related problem. My other car is a toyota and they…

I was also told that the new brakes i had installed in may 2010 for would last for at least 80,000, i was paying for the improved brakes. Well close to 40,000 miles later the "new improved brakes" are causing the same…

2008 honda accord had rear brakes completely worn down to the sensor at 18,000 miles. Received information in mail from law firm that honda acknowledged issue in a class action lawsuit and will reimburse up to $150 in repair costs. This does not fix the safety issue of burning through a set of brake pads in under 20,000 miles as well as the repeated trips to the service department and inconvenience. Sounds like a…

I purchased a 2008 honda accord lx, 3.2l in august of 2008. It currently has 22676 miles and i had to replace the rear brakes last week. I began hearing a squeaking noise the week before and took the car to my local honda service center. They informed me that the rear brakes were completely worn. I questioned the brake wear because of the low miles on my vehicle and the fact that it is a front wheel drive car. Honda…

I bought my used 2008 honda accord ex in march 2010 when the mileage was 18000. In 2 months, at 23000, i started to hear screeching sounds coming out of the rear tires when i pressed the brakes. Slowly, this problem started to worsen and the noise started to become more louder and it was sounding as metal with metal. This happened both when car was traveling at 40-50 mph and also when braking. This occurs all the…

I own a 08 honda accord. When i put in reverse a horrible screeching noise started. It would continue when i would brake also. I took it to a local shop to look at it. I only have 30k miles so figured something minor. They said it was the rear brake pads! Front ones were never replaced and in good condition. 200.00 for new brake pads. Called the local honda dealer they said 250. I have done nothing further. *tr

My 2008 honda accord exl has 60,000 miles on it and i have just had to replace the rear brakes for the second time. Once at 35,000 once at 60,000. I have been told by three different honda managers that honda knows about this problem and refuses to do anything about it. The problem is that the design of the spring that is supposed to separate the pads after braking does not push the pads far enough to clear the…

I am an owner of a 2008 honda accord ex v6 with 26k miles. The rear brake pads on this vehicle wear prematurely. I contacted both the dealer and american honda corporation both of which told me that this was normal wear and tear and that in order to fix the brakes i would be responsible for the replacement cost. The cost itself is not my concern even though i did pay additional out of pocket expense to have the…

I have a 2008 honda accord w/ 23k miles on it. I've been told by boch honda that the rear brakes are 80% gone and honda will only pay half. Obviously, there is a safety problem and honda needs to address this problem and take full responsibility. Also the front disc brakes were replaced at 11k and 19k. Something is wrong. This is not normal. Please advise. Updated ivoq 05/26/10.*jb

Initial rear brake squealing after over night setting or use to parking lots, squeal would occur in reverse direction braking, as if brake was dragging. As time progressed a metal to metal sound was noted as if some metal part had come loose and would drag or rub in slight directional pressure changes. Applying brakes would temporarily silence , but would return when brakes were released. A slight pulling sensation…

Honda accord 2008 model shows premature brake wear out on rear brakes. My car is at 29,000 miles, and the brake pads are gone, even wearing out the metal. I heard some intermittent squeaking noise from a couple months back, but when i brought the car into service, they said they couldn't hear any sound (i couldn't too during the test drive) and it would be better to just leave the car alone then start disassembling…

The rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord are wearing out far faster than seems reasonable. Honda's solution to this problem is to simply say it's normal brake wear on the vehicle and then require that the rotors be turned and the brake pads be replaced, after charging an absurd diagnostic fee. *tr
