2008 HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKES. *TR
ODI 10293058
Service Brakes, Hydraulic
On 2008,2009 and potentially 2010 honda accords , braking distances are may longer due to the overloading of the rear brakes. This overloading of the rear brakes causes premature wearout (18,000 to 27,000 miles) of the rear brakes. Due to a failure to balance the loads in the brake system, front brakes may not performing their proper braking function. This is causing the rear brakes to carry additional braking loads…

The rear calipers on a 2008 honda accord seized up and caused premature destruction of the brake pads and damaged rotors.. This has rendered the car unsafe according to a service tech of my own and the dealership. The caliper repair will be covered under warranty but honda will not cover the cost of the damaged brakes and rotors. This problem occurred with less than 30,000 miles. *tr

I own a 2008 honda accord. It started to make some noise in the front right side. I took it to a mechanic and he told me that it wasn't my front brakes and advise me to take it to the dealer, i did. Much to my surprise they told me that i needed back brakes. I was shocked i only had 12,787 miles on my car, rear brakes generally don't go before the front ones and not especially at this low miles. I concern that it…

Had to have brakes replaced at roughly 22,000 miles. The brakes started squeaking around 15,000 miles. Had the car checked and was told that the car needed rear brake pads. I was told that this is a design flaw of the 2008 honda accord. Very dissatisfied with honda. *tr

Premature wearing rear brakes. Brakes have been replaced twice on my 2008 honda accord, once in march of 2009 and once in october 2009. Each set of brakes lasted only approximately 16,000 miles, which were mostly highway miles. Honda says they are aware of the problem but refuse to remedy the situation. *tr

At 22,000 miles our 2008 honda accord, v6 needed new rear brake pads. Honda u.s.a. Was contacted by my wife and she was told this is normal wear. At this rate we will need to replace these brakes 4 more times before the vehicle reaches 100,000 miles. The dealer replaced the pads for $300 since they too claim this is normal wear and not covered under the 36,000 mile warranty. The majority of the 22,000 miles were…

Had to replace front brake pads and turn rotors at 30,000 miles of highway driving. Just replaced rear brake pads and rotors at 60,000 miles with inside pad worn to metal and scraping rotors yet outside pads were virtually untouched. Been driving 50,000 highway miles for years and never had to replace front brake pads before 60,000 miles or rear pads sooner than 100,000 miles. Showed uneven wear on rear pads and…

2008 honda accord with 21110 miles began squealing loudly from the rear wheels. Honda dealer informed me that the rear brake pads needed replacing. No warranty coverage or reimbursement was offered. Front pads were still at 50% wear. Rear pads should last twice as long as front pads and certainly longer than 21k miles. *tr

Brakes for 2008 honda accord down to "squealers" with no notice at just over 24,000 miles. Internet search found many, many complaints regarding this issue. Took vehicle to local car dealer (honda east, cincinnati, oh). They are aware of problem but will not resolve/replace the defective brake pads unless person does all service work with them - even though car was purchased from them. Car remains parked until local…

Considerable brake damage after 26k, had to replace drums, calipers,rotors and shoes to the tune of $546.00. 7k later, the brakes are down 25%, they were installed by a honda dealer who said tough luck, its a friction item, not covered under any warranty by honda. Looks like we have to have new brakes every 15-20k and its at our expense. Time for honda to step forward or for honda to learn from toyota mistakes,…

Premature wear of rear brake pads. The inner brake pad was completely worn out at 28,000 miles. The outer rear brake pad was not worn. This is a defect that honda designed wrong. The rear pads should wear out evenly. *tr

I have an '08 honda accord ex and due to the poor design and part quality honda uses for their rear-brakes i have to change the brake pads on the car with only 17,500 miles on it. At 15-20k mile life on brake pads is subpar quality and design of the system. This should be looked to protect consumers from speeding extra maintenance dollars on a poor decision/design by honda auto. *tr

We have a 2008 accord ex-l v-6 with 20,000 miles and premature rear brake failure. Rear brakes were wore down to the sensors. The dealer said, yes the brakes wear out quickly, but they are not covered. I understand the part as a wear item, but it is also a safety related item. The average customer can, and should expect the brakes to at least last until the honda specified inspection period which is the "service b".…

Told the rear brakes need replacement, the service tech stated " this is a common problem on the accord, we can have the brake service completed for you in 45 minutes". I stated "if this is a common problem i would gladly have the brake…
