I am a first time buyer of a honda automobile. I purchased my honda for the reliability and quality reputation that they were to possess. I first noticed a loud scrapping noise coming from the rear of my car at 37,000 miles. I asked fellow automotive manufacturing employees what they thought it could be. The response was always it can't be the pads because of the low mileage. I took the car to the dealership. The…

I,like many others, have had issues with the rear brakes on my 2008 honda accord. I first had the brakes replaced at 23k and again at 41k. And, because i could not afford it last week, i must take the car back to get one of my rotors completely replaced (the others were able to be resurfaced). Apparently sometimes between 23k and 41k my brakes wore bad enough to cause an indention on my rotor. This is strange to me…

I own a 2008 honda accord with 24k miles on it. I took it to my dealer because i heard a metal grinding noise from the rear passenger wheel. The dealer notified me that the rear brakes on my vehicle had less than 2mm of brake pad remaining which i validated with a visual inspection. My front brakes had just over 8mm of brake pads remaining (normal wear). It is clear that this is a manufacturers default in either the…

While driving my vehicle it would make a loud screeching sound, the faster you drive the louder it would sound. It is very embarrassing on the highway, let alone when you drive very slow around your neighborhood to look for parking, the sound is alot lower but yet embarrassing and annoying. I never thought my brakes would need to be replaced with only a year and a half with the vehicle and i never thought my rear…

The rear brake pads fail prematurely, causing a safety issue and loss of braking power. I've almost had several accidents as a result of not being able to brake properly. I've had the rear brakes replaced several times, each time as a result of lost braking power and substantial increase in stopping distance, including at intersections where my vehicle was almost in the way of opposing traffic. The odometer at the…

I have a 2008 honda accord lx with only 17,800 mi. I heard my brakes squeal and brought it in to the honda dealership for inspection. I was informed my rear brake pads were worn and needed to be replaced. That is absurd since 90% of my driving is on the highway. This needs to be looked into because honda should not be producing a car that needs brake replacement every 18k. *tr

I took my 2008 honda accord into the dealer for routine maintenance at 22k miles. I later received a call that the front brakes were fine at about 8mm, but the rear brakes are under 3mm and that they fall outside the maryland requirement and thus need to be replaced. For most of the past year the brakes have squeaked. Somewhere between 10k and 14k miles they resurfaced the brake rotors at no cost to remove the…

Rear brakes have worn severely and prematurely. Once at 20,000 miles and the second at 40,000 miles. Both times the brakes were close to total failure. Brakes had to be totally replaced twice. Driving was under normal conditions and there were no indications of wear or failure until the end. This is a very common occurrence with this model car ('08 honda accord). *tr

This wear in the rear brakes is excessive and required replacement, but was not covered under warranty. A rear brake…

Took my 2008 honda accord (15,039 miles) to be serviced for the second time since i purchased the car. I was told that the rear brakes were worn and needed to be replaced at a cost over $200 "for a one year old car, how are the front brakes!?" i was told that the front brakes seemed to be fine. I expressed to them that this was crazy and that there is definitely something wrong here. I asked if there were any…

The rear brakes on 2008 honda accord coupe wear out twice as fast as the front. That means the rear brakes apply more pressure to stop than the front. This, in my opinion is a safety issue. *tr

Brand new honda accord 2008 needs brakes at 16,000 miles, my wife and my kids i feel they are not safe, if at 16,000 miles the brakes need to be changed, i don't know what other issues i may face later on. I think there is something wrong with the brake system, and as we know that brake system is safety number 1 in cars. *tr
