I have a 2008 honda accord that has premature brake ware. I have 34,000 miles on the vehicle and i have needed to replace the rear brake pads twice and the rotors once! This is completely unacceptable. I have owned several cars in my life, and have never seen a brake system designed so poorly. I have found online that honda knows of this issue, but they are refusing to implement a fix and recall this model, which…

2008 honda accord 30,000 miles and needs a rear brake system change for the second time. I already changed the rear brake system at 17000 miles at 15 months of purchase and now after 7 more months the honda asked me to change my rear brakes again. *tr

I started to hear squeaking at around 14k miles, at which point i found it suspicious and researched multiple similar occurrences online. I also received a letter from honda advising of the "potential" safety issue, which also recommended to have the brakes inspected. I made an appointment with the dealership, and asked if there would be a charge for this inspection/replacement, and they said that if the root of the…

I own a 2008 honda accord and in feb. 2009 i had 15,000 miles on the car and the rear brakes replaced by honda at a cost of $86.55 which was about half the price of the repair. In feb. 2010 at 30,000 miles the rear brakes were down to the sensors and they had to be replace again. I have owned a 1999 and have a 2007 honda accord and never replace the rear brakes until they had ar lease 45,000 miles on the car. There…

The rear brakes wearing out significantly at low mileage. Perhaps in the abs/traction control/stability control system; tweaked the rear brakes to engage earlier/harder than normal. I think american honda motor was trying to eliminate some front end nose dive when you applied the brakes. Bottom line, rear brakes are wearing out at an excessive rate. *tr

On a 2008 honda accord brakes started to squeak at 24,000 miles (highway miles), took it to a honda dealer and they said that rear brakes are worn and need to be replaced. Asked why the brakes wore out with so little miles and they said it was due to the weight of the vehicle and that the brakes are a "soft pad". Rear brakes were replaced and rotors were cut. I paid for the cost of replacing the brakes. *tr

Premature wearing of rear brake pads in 2008 honda accord - down to 30 percent as 12,500. With others it has happened with less mileage. Safety concern - risk of brake failure had to replace pads at my own cost - should be covered and problem corrected by honda due to design flaw and safety issue! *tr

The rear outside brake pads, however, show normal wear for the car's mileage. An internet search of this problem indicated thousands of similar complaints affecting 2008 honda accords and represents a safety hazard that could lead to serious injury or death. *tr

Bought a 2008 honda accord new in june '08. Rear brakes wore out after 25000 mi. I thought front pads were supposed to wear first but it seems, not. Very odd since 90% of my driving is interstate and my last car went 80k+ mi before my first brake job. Went on line and it seems many people are having the same issue. I hope nobody gets hurt here. *tr

2008 honda accord - premature brake ware. At 23,000 the brakes began to squeal.. I took it to kuni honda on arapahoe rd. - they said they were well below tolerance.. I didn't believe them because it only had 23k on it. I picked it up from them, with no repair, and took it to just brakes for the second opinion. They confirmed the need for the brake repair. I had them do it. I am now in negotiations with honda…

I have encountered premature rear brake pad wear after 21500 miles on a 2008 honda accord v6 ex-l sedan. I purchased replacement pads for the front brakes, but was totally shocked when i found the front brake pads showing little to no wear. A quick check of the rear pads revealed the brakes completely worn down! We have never left the parking brake on the car, when in motion. I am 44 years old and have never…

I purchased a brand new 08 honda accord ex-l in march 08. Around 10k miles i started noticing during light braking the brakes would squeak. I figured the pads were just braking in and that the brake dust was causing the noise. After washing and waxing my accord i inspected and checked the brake calibers, pads and shims to see what caused the noise. I noticed that the rear brake pads had little to no pad remaining. I…

I experienced the known issue of premature brake wear with the 2008-2009 accords. I heard a horrible grinding sound so i took my car in to the shop. They said i my rear brake pads were bad. So i googled the problem and found out it is a known issue and that it is going to keep occurring every 12-15,000 miles. Apparently honda switched the rear brakes to use smaller (and apparently undersized) rotors & that's why the…
