    Last week i heard a rubbing/scraping noise coming from the right rear of my 2009 honda accord. Today i took it to the dealers and had to have the right rear caliper replaced, new brake pads and new rotors. This vehicle is well taken care of and is garage kept. I do not understand why i needed new brakes and rotors as my car has approximately 22,000 miles on it. I am extremely upset by this.

    I am the original owner of my honda accord, and use my car primarily for pleasure driving on weekends and holidays. Recently, i took my car to my local service station for an oil change and safety check, and was informed that the rear disc brakes were completely worn and needed replacement, whereas the front disc brake linings were fine. This information came as a surprise because rear are generally last more than…

    From the beginning upon taking delivery of the vehicle, the rear brake calipers were not releasing properly. We noticed a burning smell once after driving, but no warning lights were on. We also noticed the emergency brake was not always releasing, as per the warning light. At a routine oil service it was determined that right rear caliper was not full disengaging. The entire rear brake assembly had to be cleaned…

    I was driving my 2009 accord on my snow covered street and the vehicle stability (vsa) light flashed on, as it should, when the vehicle loses traction. However, the light stayed on and the abs and brake lights both appeared as well and all 3 stayed lit. At first, i thought they would reset, but after a few days, they did not. The vsa and anti-lock brake functions were no longer working. My car was brought to a local…

    The rear brakes began making a grinding and humming sound. After taking it to a dealership i was told that they needed to be replaced at a cost of 348.00 dollars. They failed about 40000 miles before the warrantied distance of 70000 miles. I later found a class action settlement (browne vs honda) in which it was detailed that honda was to pay 150 dollars for the parts and 125 dollars for the labor. I was never…

    Loud whining noises coming from the rear wheels when the brakes were applied, caused us to have the local honda dealer check the brakes. The rear brake pads were very badly worn through. The car is driven at highway speed approximately 50% of the time, meaning the brakes would not have excessive use. The dealer told us that the type of driving we do and how we drive caused the problem. We have since learned that…

    Honda has a real problem here...they tried to fix it with ceramic brake pads..what that did is make more heat for a undersized brake system. In my case this heat caused the rear calipers to to stick. In as little as 10 miles i could not touch the wheel.. If i had driven another 15+ miles i believe fire would have started..right below the gas fill cap...not good... So not only are my rear calipers cooked, rotors…

    Honda has a rear brake problem with this car. Replacing the pads does not correct this problem. In my case the rear calipers stuck. The wheel was too hot to touch...the wheel...this after only 8 miles to home from work. Honda went to a ceramic rear pad which only added heat to a rear brake system that does not fit that car....the next problem will be rear hub assemblies failing because of over heating...i believe…
