2010 Honda Accord Brakes Problems

ABS System suddenly failed. Cost of repair exceeds $3,000, largely due to huge cost of the part itself which can only be purchased from Honda.

E brake failed three times since owning car in 8 years. Rear left brake rotor stuck brake pads burning replaced 4 times in 8 years Is this much recurrence dangerous?

SIGNIFICANT REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AFTER ONLY 20,000 MILES. FRONT BRAKE PADS STILL HAVEN'T WORN 1/4 PERCENT. REAR PASSENGER BREAK WEAR INDICATOR ALARMING ALREADY. REAR DRIVER SIDE VERY LOW TOO.

I BOUGHT USED HONDA ACCORD IN 2015. AFTER THAT, I SPENT 2 TIMES TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS IN AROUND 30,000 MILES AND 1 TIME I SPENT FOR ROTOR. I EMAILED HONDA ABOUT IT AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND IT'S ABOUT ALMOST 8 YEARS BUT WHENEVER THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE PADS THEY SUPPOSE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM.NOW I HAVE A QUESTION OF KEEPING OR SELLING THE CAR & IF I HAVE TO SELL THE CAR ( IF I AM SELLING IT NOBODY WILL BUY IT OR I HAVE TO TELL THAT PERSON THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ) ANOTHER QUESTION IS HONDA IS MAKING A MISTAKE I ALSO READ ABOUT A LAWSUIT REGARDING THAT AND THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT BUT NOW ALL THE USERS HAVE TO PAY AROUND $80 -$100 FOR EVERY 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES. I ALSO SENT EMAIL TO HONDA THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE ABOUT THE BRAKES I AM READY TO OUT THE CAR. OR JUST ACCEPT THAT HONDA HAD MADE CHEAP TECHNOLOGY IN THE PAST, SO IN FUTURE, I WOULD RATHER GO FOR TOYOTA. THE INCIDENT DIDN'T HAPPEN SUDDENLY AND MY MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED ME LAST YEAR THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM AND NOW I AM ABOUT TO SPEND MONEY FOR THE THIRD TIME AND I FINALLY DECIDED TO SEARCH THE REASON FOR THAT.

INBOARD PASSENGER REAR BRAKE PAD JAMMED AND PREMATURELY WORN; DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE PADS OK. CALIPERS OK. . DEALER HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR BRAKE SETS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE. DEALER BLAMED "CORROSION"; I BLAME A HONDA DESIGN DEFECT IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEM.

CAR WAS BOUGHT 2 YEARS OLD, BREAKS STARTED TO MAKE A SCRATCHING NOISE IN 2014 AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SUCKED US IN AND MADE US PAY OVER $1,000 FOR NEW BREAKS, ROTORS, CALIPERS ETC. APRIL 2016 THE CAR WAS STARTED ONE MORNING, IMMEDIATELY THE NOISE I HEARD IN 2014 I HEARD AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE. THE NOISE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BREAKS, ROTORS, CALIPERS ETC. THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD IN 2014. THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THESE HONDA'S HAVING A BREAK ISSUE, WONDERING WHY MY DEALER DID NOT MENTION THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT SPED UP TO AVOID A CRASH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, WHICH BUMPED UP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NORMAL POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, A SCREECHING NOISE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME A LEFT TURN WAS INTENDED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY ROTORS BRAKES AND CALIPERS 4 TIMES SINCE LAST AUGUST. I JUST CHANGED THE ROTORS AND BRAKES FOR THE 3RD ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY ARE GRINDING AGAIN. I WENT OUT FOR LUNCH AND WHEN I GET BACK TO WORK I HEAR A GRINDING. I GET TO WORK AND LOOK AND ITS ON THE ROTOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MIND YOU IN OCTOBER ON A ROAD TRIP THE CALIPER MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE ROTOR. COST ME $850 TO FIX! THIS IS RIDICULOUS

DURING A RECENT INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES BARELY PASSED AND WOULD ONLY LAST APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 3,000 MILES. I HAVE 17,000 MILES ON MY HONDA! I INHERITED THIS CAR LAST YEAR FROM MY UNCLE WHO PASSED. HE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2010 AND PUT LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 YEARS. I HEARD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OF CERTAIN YEARS ON ACCORDS, INCLUDING THE ONE I HAVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD FIX THIS AS A COURTESY TO OWNERS BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS. IN 2015, THIS IS NO LONGER AN OPTION. AT NO POINT HAS HONDA RECALLED THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH PUTTING SUCH CHEAP PRODUCTS ON A VEHICLE THAT COSTS MORE THAN 30K? THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL FIGHT THIS AND MAKE SUCH A BIG STINK UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARED. AT NO POINT SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE BRAKES AT 17,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSURD. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT?

IN 2012 (25KMI - TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE) REQUIRED BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT. 2015 (55K MI REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF REAR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT AND NON-STOP SQUEAKING. TWO MONTHS LATER, AGAIN, EXCESSIVE HEAT (TOO HOT TO TOUCH RIM). TOOK BACK TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE CALIPERS. *TR

SINCE CHANGING THE BRAKES AT 55000 MILES...I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. ROTORS WERE FINE BUT I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN 3 TIMES FOR WOBBLING IN THE FRONT ...THEY HAVE MACHINED THE ROTORS CHANGED BREAK PADS...DONE EVERYTHING AND IT CONTINUES TO WOBBLE....CHECKED TIE RODS? EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE AND STILL HAVING ISSUES....THEY CLAIM THE BRAKES ARE GETTING HOT....WELL THAT IS A BUNCH OF BULL AS I HAVE LIVED IN AZ WITH HONDAS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE...THIS IS MY 4TH BRAND NEW ONE.....NEVER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. *TR

IN LATE MAY 2014 I HAD THE BRAKES (PADS/ROTORS) REPLACED ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, 2 MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AGAIN, - ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN, MANAGED TO GET THEM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, - 2 MONTHS LATER 10/31 MORE BRAKE ISSUES SO TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER (SO NO AFTER MARKET PARTS), ROTORS WARPED, RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS, - DONE, 2 MONTHS LATER IN DECEMBER 2014 BACK TO THE DEALER (NOW I'VE PAD FOR THEM 2X IN 6 MONTHS)- REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED, NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY - BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME (1S 2 WERE NOT A DEALER). THIS TIME THEY WERE WARPED, BUT NOT AS BAD - SO THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THIS TIME I WENT EARLY, WHEN I FIRST STATED NOTICING IT. NO ONE FIGURES OUT WHY... SO, IN TOTAL, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD A HONDA CORPORATE REP TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE, THEY WERE ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. BUT THAT RIDE WAS NOT TILL AFTER THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS, OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM - THIS TOTALLY HAS NO LOGIC TO EVEN HAVE THAT DONE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED - UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY DO I HAVE TO WASTE, AND BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR IS GOING THRU BRAKES- MAYBE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT? IN ADDITION TO THESE ONGOING BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE 3 PISTONS REBUILT (UNDER A RECALL , BUT I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE MISFIRE PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING) AND THE STEERING RACK REPLACED (THANK GOD I HAD 100 MILES LEFT ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY). *TR

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING, 9 DEGREES TO BE EXACT. I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I MAKE IT 50 FEET AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO FAIL. IM PUMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A STAND STILL. I HIT THE BRAKES A SECOND AND THIRD TIME I GLIMPSE DOWN WONDERING WHY IS THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING I CONTINUE STOMPING ONTO THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO SCREAM IN REALIZATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I COLLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A STAND STILL. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WAS NOT EVEN A FULL 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME I COULD NOT COMPREHEND HOW MY BRAKES JUST FAILED AFTER I REPEATEDLY PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS. I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THANK GOD I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ONE CROSSING. THE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR I COLLIDED INTO WERE ALSO FINE. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT HONOLULU, HI, HONDA PFLUGER (NOW PACIFIC HONDA). WITH THE PROPER MAINTENANCE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMING SATISFACTORILY UNTIL NOW. ONLY MINOR DEFECTS WERE NOTED, SUCH AS BATTERY REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE 3-YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. ON 01/08/15, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN AUSTIN, TX, BECAUSE, FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A WHILE, THE BREAKS WILL NOT WORK WHEN BACKING UP: THE PEDDLE GOES ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND STICKS, WILL NOT GO BACK NOR DOWN, AND THE HAND BREAK HAD TO BE PULLED UP TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED, WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE AT HOWDY HONDA. THE NEXT DAY, THE MAINTENANCE CONSULTANT INFORMED US THAT THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER, AND THAT A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PART WOULD BE NECESSARY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $946.00, PLUS TAXES, BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE VEHICLE?S WARRANTY. ON THE HONDA WARRANTY BOOKLET, THE AFOREMENTIONED PART IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF NON-COVERED PARTS (PAGE 9); THE MALFUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER USE OF OUR CAR: WE HAVE NEVER USED IT FOR BUSINESS OR UNUSUAL SPORT OR OTHER ACTIVITIES; THE MASTER CYLINDER IS THE ORIGINAL PART INSTALLED BY HONDA; AND NO THIRD-PARTY TECHNICIAN HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT. THE DEFECT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER IS VERY UNUSUAL; ALMOST ANY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 31,409 MILES SHOWS THIS KIND OF ISSUE. HENCE, WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION IS A CASE OF A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE. FURTHERMORE, THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PART MALFUNCTION REPRESENTS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH POTENTIAL PERSONAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGES AGAINST US AND THIRD PARTIES. THE CAR IS INOPERATIVE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *TR

- SUDDEN SCRAPPING NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. - SLOWLY DROVE VEHICLE TO LOCAL SPECIALIZED BRAKE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY. - REAR RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER FAILURE WHICH QUICKLY WORE DOWN PADS AND ROTORS. - LEFT REAR WAS ALSO BEYOND LIMITS. - CORRECTIVE ACTION - REPLACED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR BRAKE PADS, SHIMS, ROTORS, CALIPERS AND BRAKE FLUID. - FRONT BRAKES FINE. - UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH BOTH 2008 AND 2009 HONDA REAR BRAKES, SUBJECT 2010 VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER, 2009. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WORN OUT. FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD APPROXIMATELY 70 PERCENT WEAR REMAINING. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND THIS CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED, PER VIN NUMBER, RECALL FOR HONDAS WITH PRE-MATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR ON THE REAR. *TR

TOOK CAR FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER ONLY 38,856 MILES. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE IN 2010 HONDA BRAKE RECALL SETTLEMENT. I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WORN TO END OF USEFUL LIFE AFTER ONLY 38697 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE PEDAL WAS RESISTANT TO BEING DEPRESSED, WHICH WAS A RECURRING FAILURE WHEN THERE WAS SNOW OR EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE AND DECLINED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,901. UPDATED 7/14/14*CN UPDATED 07/18/2014 *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD NEW 2/2010. I'VE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS & GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS DESPITE WHAT HONDA RECOMMENDS. AFTER HEARING A MILD GRINDING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME DIRT/PEBBLE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MI. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES W/ OTHER HONDA CUSTOMERS. I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BELIEVED THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THE HONDA BRAKE PADS. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE 80% LIFE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY PREVIOUS CARS W/ MILEAGE UNDER 55,000. I STARTED MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AFTERWARDS & FOUND THE 2010 HONDA CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE REAR BRAKES ON SPECIFIC YRS OF THE HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR BRAKES. HONDA ACCORD BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST UP TO 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIR DEADLINE & ELIGIBILITY INCLUDED BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH HONDA BRAKE PADS & INSTALLATION OF THOSE BRAKE PADS WITHIN 3 YRS OF WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST SOLD. I'VE OWNED MY ACCORD FOR 4 YRS & I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET PADS. SINCE I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO WRITE HONDA OR GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT, I OPTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE W/ OTHER CONSUMERS, RATHER THEN REMAIN SILENT & FRUSTRATED. I DOUBT I'LL MAKE ANY PROGRESS W/ CONTACTING HONDA. I TRULY ENJOY MY HONDA ACCORD & ITS PERFORMANCE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED W/ HONDA & THEIR LACK OF COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION & RESOLVING AN INFERIOR PART ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS NOTED W/ ALL THE ONLINE CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION. HONDA HAS FORCED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, REFUSING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A COSTLY, EXTREMELY, PREMATURE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. *TR

REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AT 22000 MILES, NOW AT 27000 MILES HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS. *TR

AT 25844 MILES, REAR BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. AT 69098 REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS FREQUENCY OF WEAR AND REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE'VE BEEN DRIVING HONDAS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKES HAD WORN PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL. IF IT IS UNDER 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST DRIVEN AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE. I AM NOW LOOKING AT REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND CHECK VALVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR WILL STOP OR NOT WHEN I AM DRIVING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, HONDA HAD RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR. SEVERAL PEOPLE IN FORUMS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES. PERHAPS YET ANOTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER FOR. *TR

REAR BRAKES STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR WAS VIBRATING WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. NOTICED BRAKING REDUCTION. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES. *TR

I FOUND THAT HONDA ACCORD HAS RECALLS. I GOT MY OIL CHANGE IN APRIL/MAY - 2013 FOR MY HONDA ACCORD AND HONDA DEALER FOUND EVERYTHING GOOD AND BRAKES WERE CLOSE TO 8 (ON THE BRAKE MEASURING SCALE) ON ALL THE WHEELS. IN JUST 2 MONTHS, THE REAR BRAKE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND THEN I CAME ACROSS THE HONDA ACCORD BRAKE RECALL ISSUE. NOW I HAVE GOT THE REPAIR DONE AND SENT THE DETAILS TO HONDA. HONDA IS DENYING THE REIMBURSEMENT SAYING THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL IN THE RECALL CATEGORY (THEY HAVE SELECTED SOME VINS WHICH MEETS THOSE CONDITIONS). MY QUESTION IS HOW HONDA CAN DECIDE WHICH VINS HAVE THE PROBLEMS AND WHICH DOES NOT HAVE UNTIL PEOPLE REPORT THEM. ANYWAY, I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA ABOUT NOT REIMBURSING THIS REPAIR COST. *TR

THE REAR BRAKE STARTED MAKING NOISE. WHEN I CHECKED AT THE REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKE REPLACED. THE TOTAL COST I WAS TOLD WAS $ 305.66. THE CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY DRIVEN - 26500 MILES THAT TOO UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, MOSTLY ON HIGHWAYS.

I HAD TIRES ROTATED AT 36K MILES AND FIRESTONE ADVISED ME OF IRREGULAR WEAR ON MY RIGHT REAR BRAKES. THE BRAKE PAD RUBS CONSTANTLY BASED ON A CALIPER AND ROTOR MALFUNCTION. I VERIFIED RECALLS PERTAINING TO MY HONDA AND FOUND NO RELEVANT INFORMATION; HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THERE IS A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH PREMATURE AND IRREGULAR WEAR. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY BRAKE COMPONENTS LEADING TO UNWARRANTED SAFETY VULNERABILITIES AND EXCESSIVE CONSUMER EXPENSES. *TR

WHILE PUTING REAR WHEELS ON LOCK,AND THEN ROTATING TIRES BY HAND,MAKES SOUND OF TWO METALS TOUCHING WITH EACH OTHERS,THIS EXPERIMENT MADE BY ME WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT RAPIDLY,THEN I REPLACED BRAKE PADS IN FIRE STONE, BUT PROBLEM REMAINED THE SAME,I VISITED FIRE STINE AGAIN,THEY SAID THAT IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THEN I FOUND OUT FROM VARIOUS ON LINE SOURSES THAT CERTAIN HONDA ACCORDS MADE DURING 2007 TO 2010 HAVE SAME DEFECT FROM FACTORY,LOOKS LIKE BRAKE ASSEMBLY LINE FROM SUPPLIER IS DEFECTIVE DURING CERTAIN PERIOD .IN SHORT REAR BRAKE PADS ALWAYS REMAINS TOUCHING WITH BRAKE PLATES WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PAD,NOT TOO MUCH BUT LITTLE BIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES HAD WORN PREMATURELY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 18,000.

THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN @22,004 MILES WHILE FRONT PADS ARE GREAT (8MMS). I'M A OLD, GOOD DRIVER AND NEVER REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE PADS FIRST. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY DEFECT. I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! HONDA NEEDS FIX THE BACK BRAKES! *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR BRAKE PADS. *SMD DURING A STATE INSPECTION, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE PADS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY.

REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN FAST, THEY REQUIRE A CHANGE AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN. PADS SHOW UNEVEN WEAR, IT MAYBE A CALIPER DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE DRIVEN ABOUT 18,000 MILES AND REAR BRAKE PADS WORE OUT MUCH FASTER THAN USUAL. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THEY ARE 2MM WHERE FRONTS ARE 8MM. FAULTY REAR PADS WEARING OUT FASTER ON THE INSIDE (PISTONS STICKING) THIS INSPECTION DONE IN HONDA ORLANDO AND HONDA AMERICA INSISTS THAT BRAKE PADS ARE FINE DESPITE THE REAR, WHERE THERE IS LEAST WEIGHT WEARS OUT FASTER THAN FRONT, WHERE THE MOST WEIGHT IS ! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. MAKE SURE YO GET YOUR BRAKES INSPECTED BEFORE YOU BUY ANY HONDA'S CAUSE THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. I MADE MULTIPLE CALLS TO DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTERS AND HONDA AMERICA. THEY JUST SIMPLY DON'T CARE. THEY GOT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE UNTIL YOU BUY A VEHICLE FORM THEM. ONCE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM (EVEN ON A HONDA CERTIFIED VEHICLE) YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT BUY HONDA BREAKS IF YOU REPLACE THEM WITH YOUR BUDGET CAUSE YOU WILL KEEP REPLACING THEM SOON AGAIN. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA AMERICA HAS BEEN IGNORING IT. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN ON THE PHONE AGAIN AFTER TALKING TO HONDA SERVICE. I PASSED THE INFORMATION TO HONDA AMERICA. THEY ARE LIKE; YOUR VEHICLE IS CERTIFIED BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE YOUR BRAKE PADS. NEVER HEARD OF A REAR BRAKE PADS GO OUR BEFORE THE FRONT. *TR

1. I BELIEVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON 2010 ACCORD HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES THE INBOARD REAR BRAKE PADS TO WEAR UNEVENLY AND TO WEAR FASTER THAN THE OUTBOARD PADS. 2. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, ON OCTOBER 7, 2009: THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2011 AT 36,365 MILES AND THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS ON MARCH 12, 2013 AT 67,699 MILES. 3. MARCH 12, 2013 PAD REPLACEMENT. THE INBOARD PADS ON BOTH SIDES ARE WORN DOWN FAR MORE THAN THE OUTBOARD PADS. ALSO, THE INBOARD PADS ARE WORN UNEVENLY: ONE OF THE INBOARD PADS HAS 2 MM LEFT ON THE END NEAR THE BREAK PAD WEAR INDICATOR & 3 MM LEFT ON THE OTHER END, THE OTHER INBOARD PAD HAS 1 MM LEFT ON THE END NEAR THE BREAK PAD WEAR INDICATOR & 2 MM OF PAD LEFT ON THE OTHER END. THE OUTBOARD PADS ARE WORN EVENLY AND BOTH HAVE 5-6 MM OF PAD REMAINING. 4. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT! BOTH INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SHOULD WEAR EVENLY AND AT THE SAME RATE AND GIVE MORE THAN 31,000 36,000 MILES OF USEFUL SERVICE. 5. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CALIPER AND/OR THE CALIPER MECHANISM AND THE EMBEDDED PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM. PERHAPS THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM SOMETIMES ALLOWS IT TO NOT RELEASE PROPERLY? MY FEAR IS THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW WILL CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. 6. GENUINE HONDA PARTS WERE INSTALLED WITH BOTH REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENTS AND THE FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS A NORMAL MIX OF HIGHWAY AND TOWN DRIVING AND VERY LITTLE STOP-N-GO CITY DRIVING. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I RIDE THE BRAKES. I BELIEVE NORMAL WEAR, CONSIDERING OUR DRIVING HABITS, FOR THE REAR BRAKES IS 50,000-60,000 MILES.

THE REAR BRAKES PREMATURELY WEAR OUT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES TWICE. FIRST AT 23000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 53000 MILES. *TR

THE REAR BRAKEPADS ON HONDA ACCORD 2010 WEAR OFF AT 45,000 MILES. I'VE HAD HONDA CIVIC BEFORE AND NO SUCH ISSUE. THE ACCORD HAS POORLY MADE BRAKEPADS AND ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALERS -- THE PADS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 70,000 MILES. VERY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA -- THEY SETTLED A BRAKEPAD LAWSUIT FOR 2008 AND 2009 MODEL BUT DID NOT FIX THE 2010 MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH TWICE BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,146. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,562.

REAR BRAKES DIAGNOSED BY HONDA AS "REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION" DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. THIS WITH ONLY 21810 MILES. HONDA CLAIMS WEAR IS AT THE "LOW END OF AVERAGE." I FEEL WEAR IS EXTREMELY PREMATURE. HONDA CLAIMS NO MECHANICAL MANFUNCTION CONTRIBUTED TO THE WEAR AND REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE HAS A NORMAL MIX OF HIGHWAY AND TOWN DRIVING WITH VERY LITTLE CITY DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES BECAME WORN PREMATURELY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,169.

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE BRAKES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED FIVE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION, AND THE DEALER STATED BRAKES WERE CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR. IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO THE CONSUMER, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. HONDA DENIED THE CONSUMER'S REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, DUE TO THE CLAIM WAS POSTMARKED AFTER THE CLAIM FILING DEADLINE OF EITHER NOVEMBER 29, 2010 OR 90 DAYS AFTER THE LISTED DATE OF THE REPAIR, WHICHEVER WAS LATER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. ALSO, THERE WAS A SHARP METAL OBJECT STICKING OUT FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. *JB

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR AND FAILURE. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE MAKES A NOISE AS IF THE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SURFACES SCRATCHING EACH OTHER. NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. BOTH BAKE PADS UNTIL 70000 MILES(GENERALLY THIS IS THE LIFE FOR BRAKE PADS) AND THE RELATED WEAR CAUSED BY WORN OUT BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES ON NEW 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THIS SEEMS VERY PREMATURE FOR A NEW CAR. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE EARLIER CLASS ACTION, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2010. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL CARS IF REAR BRAKES FAIL AT 20,000+ MILES. *TR

AT AROUND 25K MILES, MY HONDA ACCORD BEGAN MAKING LOUD SCREECHING NOISES. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKES WERE GONE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FOR THE MILEAGE I HAVE DRIVEN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH PREMATURE WEAR IN THEIR REAR BRAKES. IN FACT, THERE WAS A HONDA SETTLEMENT FOR '08-'09 ACCORDS (AND A FEW '10S) WHERE THEY GAVE PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENTS FOR BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT ANY WRONGDOING AND CLAIMS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED IN ALL VEHICLES THEREAFTER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A LIE AND THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CONTINUING DESIGN FAILURE. THEY NEED TO PAY FOR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENTS AND/OR TRULY OFFER A FIX FOR WHAT CAUSES THE PREMATURE WEAR. *TR

WENT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE AT 25000 MILES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED REAR BRAKES REPLACED AND FLUSHED. $200 FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENT AND $170 FOR THE FLUSH. SEEMS VERY EARLY TO HAVE THIS SERVICE DONE. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS NOT COVERED. *TR

BOUGHT MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6 EXL NEW. AT 45,000 MILES THE CAR EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHUDDERING OF THE WHOLE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SPEED OF 70MPH WHILE ON A TRIP. THIS WAS OCCURRING WHETHER THE BRAKES WERE VERY LIGHTLY APPLIED OR MORE FIRMLY APPLIED. A REPAIR SHOP SAID THE REAR ROTORS AND REAR BRAKES WERE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND IT REDUCED THE SYMPTOMS BY ABOUT 90%. NOW LAST WEEK ON ANOTHER TRIP, THE CAR BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT HAD PRIOR TO THE 45000 MILE REPAIR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE ORIGINATING HONDA DEALER ON JULY 5TH TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE OVER THE PHONE SPECULATION BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR IS "IT'S THE FRONT ROTORS". THESE ARE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS BUT MORE IMPORTANT, THE CONDITION IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. FEW THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BRAKES! *TR

I HAVE HAD A VERY TROUBLING AND DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED FROM RICK ROUSH HONDA (MEDINA OHIO) IN JULY OF 2010. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO WORK OUT A SOLUTION THROUGH THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD BY THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANGER THAT THE HONDA ZONE MANAGER HAS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. WE WERE EXPECTING A NORMAL $25.00 - $30.00 OIL CHANGE. IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE WHEN THE TOTAL COST FOR THE SERVICES CAME TO $515.32. A) MAINTENANCE MINDER CODE ?B? SERVICE $82.27. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THIS SERVICE AS IT MAKES GOOD COMMON SENSE. B) REPLACED ENGINE AND CABIN (HEPAA) AIR FILTERS PER MAINTENANCE MINDER CODE ?2? CODE. $66.55. AGAIN NO ISSUE. C) REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS $323.02. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE AN ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTION CHECKLIST; REAR PADS FROZEN IN PINCHES? CAUSED THE ROTORS TO OVERHEAT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED TO A VEHICLE WITH 30,000 MILES. REAR BRAKES SHOULD LAST 60,000? 70,000 MILES. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THIS PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR IS A BRAKING SYSTEM DEFECTIVE THE SAME AS OR SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE IN THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED IN LATE 2010. HAVE OR WILL OTHER 2010 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM? HAS HONDA ORCHESTRATED A COVER UP TO AVOID THE BAD PRESS AND A COSTLY RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS? I EXPECT A REIMBURSEMENT FROM HONDA FOR THE $323.02 CHARGE INCLUDING THE SALES TAX. THAT WILL BE A TOTAL OF $344.02 ($323.02 + TAX OF $21.00. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES, ROTORS AND THE FRONT CALIPERS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD GIVE THE CONTACT A DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 28,422. UPDATED 07/13/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE CASE WAS SETTLED AND HONDA WAS MAILING A CHECK FOR $150. UPDATED 07/18/12

AT 42K MILES, BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR BEGAN TO INDICATE PREMATURE WEAR ON LEFT REAR WHEEL. I KNOW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2009 AND SOME 2010 MODELS, FIGURED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN I RECEIVED MINE. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH, HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR OF THE REAR BRAKES IN MY MODEL YEAR ACCORD, HOWEVER I LEARNED THAT THEY RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN RESPONSE TO OWNER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT AS OF APRIL 24, 2012, THE DATE OF MY LAST SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN THAT MY REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY HAD ONLY 2 MM OF BRAKE PAD LEFT ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT PADS HAD 7 MM OF BRAKE PAD REMAINING ON THEM. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THERE WAS A REASON FOR WHY REAR BRAKE PADS WOULD WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE TO WHICH I WAS GIVEN THE ANSWER THAT MOST AUTOMOBILES NOWADAYS HAVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM PROVIDING MORE OF THE STOPPING POWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS. I NEED NOT GO INTO MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, NOR MY PERSONAL OPINION IN THIS MATTER. HOWEVER, THE REASON I AM LODGING THIS COMPLAINT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW BRAKING SYSTEMS WORK IN AUTOMOBILES. HENCE, I THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO APPRISE YOUR INSTITUTION TO THIS ISSUE SO AS TO POINT OUT WHAT MAY BE A MATERIAL DEFECT IN MY AUTOMOBILE, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS AS I WOULD PRESUME. FOR THE RECORD, I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, HAVE HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES, AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY OUT OF THE ORDINARY DRIVING CONDITIONS. *JS

I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, THE DEALER SAID MY REAR BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE AND HAD TWICE AS MUCH PAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM COMPARED TO THE REAR PADS. THE COST WOULD BE $249- TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

HEARD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND TOLD NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKES IN THIS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND HAD TO PAY $185.00. *JS

THE REAR BRAKES ARE WORN IN UNDER 10,000 MILES. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKES. BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR MADE SCRAPING SOUND FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL. INSPECTED BRAKES AND FOUND RIGHT REAR INNER BRAKE PAD WORN DOWN. LEFT REAR BRAKES ALSO WORN BUT NOT YET TO WEAR INDICATOR. ONLY 26,995 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF INCIDENT. EXAMINED FRONT PADS AND FOUND THEM TO BE IN NEAR LIKE NEW CONDITION AT 9/32 INCHES THICKNESS. *TR

BRAKES WEAR OUT AND DEVELOP HOT SPOTS. HAD TO REPLACE EITHER BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS OFTEN. HONDA DOESN'T ADMIT IT AS THEIR PROBLEM AND MAKING ME PAY FOR EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS COSTING ME A FORTUNE. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN IS NOT ON THE SETTLEMENT REACHED. EACH TIME I GO TO DEALER WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS, HE RE-SURFACES ROTORS CAUSING ADDITIONAL WEAR. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN OCT 2010; I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, EXCESSIVE VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. DEALER RE-SURFACED THE FIRST 2 TIMES, REPLACED ROTOR THE THIRD TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER 7K MILES, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES I WILL PRESS ON MY BRAKES AND MY CAR WILL ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY PRESS MY BRAKES IN TO GET THE CAR TO DECREASE IN SPEED BUT IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT IS STALLING AND MAKE A RUMBLING SOUND. I HAD THE RECALL DONE. IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (3 MTHS) AND NOW IT'S BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO ONLY FIND OUT NOW I NEED TO GET MY BRAKES REPLACED AT A LITTLE LESS THAN 35K ON MY CAR AND THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE NO WEAR. I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR THAT. *TR

INVESTIGATED A SCRAPING SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL FOUND BRAKE PADS WORN DOWN TO BARE BACKING,EXAMINED FRONT PADS AND FOUND THEM TO BE STILL IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. *JS

REAR BRAKE PADS WORN RIGHT INTO THE ROTORS. STOPPING DISTANCE LONGER THAN USUAL.VEHICLE STRUCK CURB BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AT 21,837 MILES COSTING $212.81. MY VIN NOT PART OF SETTLEMENT BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY STILL AN ISSUE WITH HONDA BRAKES. WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR LAWSUITS. I AM SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NO DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS? *TR

BRAKE PADS AT 23,700 MILES COMPLETELY WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH ROTORS. *TR

I HAD JUST DROPPED MY CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL AND WAS IN LINE TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. I WAS VERY SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD AS CARS WOULD LEAVE. I WAS MOVING SLOWLY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP REGARDLESS OF ME HITTING THE BRAKES. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ALL HAPPENED SO FAST. NO INJURIES BUT VERY SCARY. *TT

REAR BRAKES ON 2010 HONDA ACCORD ARE ALMOST "METAL ON METAL". THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITH A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 17,500 MILES. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR FOR A REGULAR SERVICE AT THE DCH ACADEMY HONDA AND THE SERVICE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES. IT WAS VERY SURPRISING THAT AT 22K MILES THE REAR BRAKES HAVE GONE. HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE COMPLAINT FILED FOR THE 2008-2009 AND SOME 2010 MODELS. I FILED THE COMPLAINT AND FOUND OUT THAT MY VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD CONSIDER ALL THE 2010 MODELS. I DONT KNOW WHAT IS THE CRITERIA HONDA HAS TO INDENTIFY FAULTY BRAKES. CLEARLY, HONDA HAS FLAW IN KEEPING TRACK OF THIER INVENTORY OR THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ACKNOLOEGE CUSOTER COMPLAINS AND ACT ON THE INFORMAITON.

WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICING TO THE OPEN ROAD HONDA (RT 1S) IN NJ, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE REAR BRAKE PAD IS HEAVY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DROVE THE CAR MOSTLY HIGHWAYS DURING MY PREVIOUS JOB FOR MOST OF THE MILES AND I DIDN'T EVEN APPLY MUCH BRAKES AND NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE REAR BRAKE PAD IS GONE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER THE FRONT PAD IS AS GOOD AS NEW. HOW CAN IT BE. I CAME TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH HONDA ON THIS SUBJECT, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE COVERING ONLY A CERTAIN FEW VIN NUMBER, THIS IS TOTAL ABSURDITY, IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING FOR ANY / ALL MODELS OF HONDA, IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. *TR

I WENT TO A LOCAL SEARS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE CENTER AFTER I'D HEARD SQUEAKING COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. A CO-WORKER TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE THEM CHECKED. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BRAKE PADS THAT CAME FROM THE REAR BRAKES OF MY CAR--THERE WAS NO PADDING LEFT! ANOTHER MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT HE'D SEEN A LOT OF HONDAS COME IN A SIMILAR CONDITION--FRONT BRAKE PADS SHOWING SOME WEAR AND REAR BRAKE PADS WITH ALMOST NO PADDING REMAINING. HE ADVISED ME TO CALL HONDA AND ASK ABOUT RECALLS. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO VISIT THIS WEBSITE: WWW.ACCORDSETTLEMENT.COM. I CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT MY VIN WAS INCLUDED. I CONTACTED [XXX] LLP, WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T ASSIST ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I THINK THAT THIS BRAKING ISSUE SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED--IT APPEARS THAT IT AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST THE FIRST NINE 2010 MODELS PRODUCED (AS [XXX]CLAIMS), AS I'M EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO OTHER ACCORD OWNERS. BRAKES ARE A VERY COMPONENT OF ONE'S VEHICLE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD HEAR A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN BRAKING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

THE REAR BRAKES ON MY HONDA ACCORD HAVE WORN OUT PREMATURELY. AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR OF OWNING MY CAR I ALREADY NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE HONDA DEALER DID NOT SEEM SURPRISED WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THEN AFTER SOME SEARCHING I FOUND THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTLED ON THE 2008 ACCORDS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTP://USNEWS.RANKINGSANDREVIEWS.COM/CARS-TRUCKS/DAILY-NEWS/100408-HONDA-SETTLES-LAWSUIT-OVER-ACCORD-BRAKES/. HONDA IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I WILL BE HAVING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR NEW BRAKE PADS 2 TO 3 TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN ANY OTHER CAR I COULD HAVE BOUGHT. I CHOSE HONDA FOR ITS RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM BEING LET DOWN. *TR

REAR PADS WORN AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED BUT MY CAR NOT INCLUDED. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PERHAPS THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN HONDA WILL ADMIT TO. *TR

NEEDED REAR BRAKES AT 21,189 MILES. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR BRAKES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR, EXCESSIVE NOISE. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH BRAKES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FIVE TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES AS WELL AS A BURNING TYPE ODOR COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, A VIBRATION WAS FELT COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS A LOUD NOISE, GRINDING AND RUBBING. *JB

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES BRAKE FAILURE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VSA LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPERS AND THE BRAKES. ALSO, THERE WAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 13,900 MILES. *TT

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEAR AND I PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AT ONLY 22,837 MILES. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND SETTLEMENT FOR THE 2008 AND 2009 MODEL YEARS (AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF VINS FOR THE 2010 MODEL YEAR WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MINE). I THOUGHT THAT HONDA HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT IMPROVED PADS WERE BEING INSTALLED BUT APPARENTLY NOT SINCE THE 2010 MODEL YEAR STILL SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *KB

MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN FOR INSPECTION WITH ~16,000 MILES. I WAS JUST TOLD BY HONDA THAT I NEED NEW REAR BRAKES. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $210 TO HAVE THE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES FAILED TWICE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND A HALF. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE ORIGINALLY REPLACED AT 11,000 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED EVERY SIX MONTHS AFTERWARD. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD YET TO NEED REPLACING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

WENT INTO MY HONDA DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY REAR BRAKES IN MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WERE SHOT AT 14,805 MILES. NEVER IN MY ENTIRE DRIVING CAREER HAVE I EVER EXPERIENCED THIS AND I AM 65 YEARS OLD. EVIDENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND CONSUMERS HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. WAITING FOR A CALL FROM HONDA AND WILL BE CHECKING INTO THIS FURTHER. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA REGARDING THIS. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS WORE OUT ON NEW 2010 ACCORD AT 25,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPAIR THEM WOULD BE REIMBURSED, HOWEVER, WHEN I SUBMITTED MY CLAIM, I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH UP AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REIMBURSE ME. 2008-2009 AND SOME 2010 ACCORDS ARE INCLUDED IN HONDA SETTLEMENT FOR FAULTY REAR BRAKE PADS....I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ALL 2010 ACCORDS AS THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. REAR BRAKE PADS SHOULD NOT GO OUT AT 25,000 MILES. PATHETIC HONDA. WE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

CAR HAD REAR 2MM AND 7.5MM FRONT. SEND MY LETTER TO GET REFUND FROM HONDA. BUT HONDA CLAIM THE VIN ON MY CAR WAS NOT DEFECTIVE SO THEY DO NOT PAY FOR MY BRAKES. SEND A SECOND LETTER STILL WAITING FOR HONDA TO REPLY. *KB

AT 18,000 MILES THE CAR REAR BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES FOR AWHILE THE PROBLEM WOULD DISAPPEAR BUT THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE SQUEAKING NOISE CONTINUES AS I DRIVE AND DOESN'T GO AWAY THIS AFTERNOON SEPT. 2, 2010 I HAVE APPOINTMENT TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

HONDA ACCORD LS 2010 BRAKES OUT OF NOWHERE STARTED TO MAKE HISSING SOUND. PULLED CAR OVER TO DETERMINE REASON AND DETERMINED IT ONLY MADE SOUND WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON IT AND THEREFORE WAS SHOCKED BY SOUND. HONDA HAS CREATED A PREMATURE BRAKE ISSUE AND MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE . *TR

AT 18,000 MILES THE CAR BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK BUT AFTER A FEW MILES IT STOPPED SQUEAKING. AT 19,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAKS AND IT THEN CONTINUED TO SQUEAK EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. ON 8/20 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES DONE AT PEPBOYS AND THEY TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES HAD GONE THROUGH THE PAD AND WAS TEARING INTO THE ROTOR. MY ACCORD ONLY HAS ~25,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE. *TR

REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 19000 MILES. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IS EXPECTED FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. *KB

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. SEVERAL TIMES THE BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND AND SQUEALED LOUDLY. I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD V-6. IN JUNE I HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I USED THE BRAKES. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND ONLY HAVE ~25K MILES ON IT. THE MILEAGE IS 90% HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE MILES AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED OTHER THAN POOR MATERIAL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.. *TR

TOOK MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD INTO PRIORITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA TO HAVE THE ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION DONE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR THERE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW TO HAVE ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES DONE. AT 30,000 MILES, I AM BEING TOLD I NEED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE ALMOST METAL-TO-METAL AND THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD REIMBURSE ME UP TO 150.00 OF THE REPAIR COST WHICH WAS CLOSE TO 200.00. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ONLY BE TOLD BY THEM THAT MY VIN# IS NOT COVERED AND IT WAS ONLY VERY FEW 2010 ACCORDS THAT WERE AFFECTED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, THEY SIMPLY JUST APOLOGIZED THAT THEY HAD GIVEN ME WRONG INFORMATION, ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR REAR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT IN 30,000 MILES (WHICH I KNOW IS NOT CORRECT), AND SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. REALLY....THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA I HAVE PURCHASED, BUT I AM MIGHTY AFRAID IT WILL BE MY LAST AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HONDA ASAP. WHAT IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING IS I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

AT 28,000 MILES THE REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED, ROTORS CUT TO THE COST OF $314.59. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON MARCH 29, 2010 BRAND NEW. JOHN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MIDDLETOWN HONDA TELLS ME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE PERFECT AND THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES- REALLY. I DRIVE HIGHWAY MILES TO AND FROM WORK, NO EXCESSIVE BRAKING SO NOT IT IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON REAR BRAKES. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY OTHER NEW CARS - NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO GET FROM JOHN WAS THE 800 NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE "THOUGHT" HE HAD HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THOUGHT, REALLY HMMM. IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING, OVER 40 YEARS, NEVER HAVE I HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE ANY OF MY CARS NOR HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHOW THE NONCHALANT ATTITUDE TOWARDS A CUSTOMER. REPEAT BUSINESS, I DON'T THINK SO. *TR

I OWN A 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONE YEAR. THE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 18,000 MILES. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION ON YESTERDAY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR BRAKES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS EVERY SINCE 1989 AND PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR HAS NEVER OCCURRED WITH ANY OF THE HONDA THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOUR BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN A CAR. ALSO, THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY FRONT BUMPER. IT IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR BY SNAPS. THESE SNAPS BREAK AND THE BUMPER STARTS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT IT TO THEIR BODY SHOP BUT THE BUMPER IS STILL TRY TO SEPARATE FROM THE CAR. IF THE BUMPER COMES OFF IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS SOLD A 2010 HONDA ACCORD LAST YEAR AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS ON MY REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY. I WAS THEN TOLD BY HONDA AMERICA THAT THESE ARE 'WEAR' PARTS THAT THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT BRAKES ARE WEAR PARTS BUT 'NOT AT 20,000 MILES'. IF IT IS OK FOR HONDA TO SELL BRAKING SYSTEMS THAT NEED THIS KIND OF ATTENTION SO EARLY IN LIFE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WARN CUSTOMERS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *TT

2010 HONDA ACCORD -- REPAIR FACILITY NOTED EXCESSIVE WEAR TO REAR BRAKE PADS AT 24,000 MILES. 10% LIFE REMAINING. FRONT BRAKE AT MORE THAN 50% REMAINING LIFE. INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY STRESSED EXTREME CONCERN WITH WEAR. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO HONDA FACILITY. HONDA TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE WEAR WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE. ATTRIBUTED WEAR TO "EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS" EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT RESIDE ON A MOUNTAIN OR DO EXCESSIVE HARD BRAKING. HONDA UNWILLING TO ADDRESS BRAKE WEAR UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THERE TO BE A SEVERE DEFECT. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND IT HAS ONLY 19000 MILES ON IT YET THEY TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE SAME ISSUES BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. I ONLY REPLACED BRAKES 3 TIMES OVER NEARLY 160,000 MILES ON THE PREVIOUS ACCORD THAT I OWNED. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD METAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE WAS WORN. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PAD. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A REPORT AND ADVISED THAT HIM THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,490 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,050.

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THE REAR BRAKES HAD WORN OUT UNEVENLY WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER LEARNED OF A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE BRAKE MATERIAL THAT WAS USED ON CERTAIN VEHICLES WHEN THEY WERE MANUFACTURED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JB

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH REAR BRAKES *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE REAR BRAKES ONLY HAD 15% LIFE WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES HAD 90% REMAINING. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE REAR BRAKES. *JB

I HAVE A 2010 4 DOOR HONDA ACCORD V6 EX. WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW MY REAR BRAKES SQUEAK INDICATING WORN BAKE PADS. THE REAR BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST AROUND 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE FEW 2010 VIN #S COVERED BY THE HONDA PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR SETTLEMENT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HOPE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TO EXPAND/EXTENT TO OTHER 2010 HONDA ACCORD AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT COVERED BY THE SETTLEMENT. THANKS *TR

I HAD A PERIODIC SERVICE CHECK ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD AT 15299 MILES, AND WAS TOLD I HAD 15% LEFT ON MY REAR BRAKES PADS. HOWEVER, I WAS ALSO TOLD MY FRONT BRAKES HAD 90% LEFT. SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, HE SAID THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL, EACH DRIVER IS DIFFERENT. HE SAID MY WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKES HAD EXPIRED. THIS MUCH WEAR ON REAR BRAKES SEEMS HIGHLY ABNORMAL. *TR

PREMATURE REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT FOR 2010 HONDA ACCORD. REAR PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 33,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NOT ON ORIGINAL CLASS SUIT SETTLEMENT. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE NEW UPGRADED REAR INNER BRAKES STILL IS PREMATURELY WEARING OUT AT AROUND 20K MILES. ALL OTHER BRAKE PADS INCLUDING THE REAR OUTER ONES ARE 90% THERE HOWEVER THE REAR INNER PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGER ISSUE THAN JUST BAD BRAKE PADS SINCE ALL OTHER PADS ARE FINE. I HAVE VERY CONCERNED THIS WILL CAUSE INSUFFICIENT BREAKING AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE SEVERELY WORN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WOULD WEAR PREMATURELY AND BELIEVED THE FAILURE TO BE A DEFECT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE EXHIBITING SIGNS OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,503.

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN AT 24,300 MILES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THEM FOR $300 AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON SOME 2010 ACCORDS BUT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 8/2010. *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR. *TR

PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WARE. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH SHOULD BE FIRST REPLACED AT ABOUT 70,000 HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 25,000 AT A COST OF ABOUT $175 DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN IN TTHAT THE BRAKES HAD EXCESS WARE BECAUSE THE BRAKING MECHANISM DIDN'T RELEASE AS THEY SHOULD. THE CAR IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AND MOST MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES WITH LITTLE BRAKING. I DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NEVER HAVE.

REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN UNEVENLY AT 8,000 MILES? INBOARD BRAKE PADS WORN DOWN TO < 1 MM WHERE THE INBOARD PADS WERE STILL AT 3.5 MM COSTING $ 220 BRAKE JOB. THIS WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE POWAY CALIFORNIAL HONDA SERVICE ADVISOR, SERVICE MANAGER AND SERVICE DIRECTOR WHO ALL STOOD BY THE INITIAL RESPONSE GIVEN "IT'S NORMAL". *TR

I OWN A 2010 ACCORD WITH 11000 MILES ON IT, 9 MONTHS OLD. THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WORN OUT AND THE DEALER WONT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL COST $199+TAX AND I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE SERVICE STATION FOR 3 DAYS FOR THE PART TO BE STOCKED. *TR

REAR BRAKES PREMATURELY WEARING OUT AFTER 18,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WAS MAKING A METALLIC "SQUEALING" SOUND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (AND, EVENTUALLY, AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES). I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (UNION PARK HONDA IN WILMINGTON DE) TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED "WITH AN UPDATED FACTORY PART". AFTERWARD I SAW THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2008-2009 HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKE WEAR AFTER AS LITTLE AS 15,000 MILES. MY 2010 ACCORD (WHICH WAS NOT ONE OF THE 2010'S INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT) HAD ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO OF NOTE IS THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE AT 1MM OF MATERIAL LEFT (OUT OF 10MM), WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES WERE AT 7MM (OUT OF 10MM), SO THIS WOULD NOT INDICATE WEAR DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 6 CYL. - BRAKE SCREECH, BRAKE SMELL AND SLIDING TO STOP (LIKE BRAKES ARE LOCKED). HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES - A DEFINITE LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION ON THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, AT 17,000 MILES REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE COMPLETELY WORN. BRAKE NEAR-FAILURE AND SMELL OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. 2 DEALERS "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA, WITH NO HELP THERE, EITHER. I AM SEEKING REDRESS VIA BBB AUTOLINE/CA LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

REAR BRAKES COMPLETELEY WORN OUT AT 16,500 MILES - MOSTLY HIGHWAY

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD SCREECH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED. WHEN HE DID ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A DELAYED STOPPING RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WRONG BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,349. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPACE AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED INTO TO THE OTHER END OF THE PARKING LOT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO TWO OTHER VEHICLES. A PASSENGER IN THE OTHER VEHICLE STATED THAT THEY SUFFERED A WHIP LASH INJURY. THE POLICE RESPONDED AND FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE AND WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. UPDATED 05/12/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE HAND BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 05/12/11

I TOOK MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD FOR A 15,000 MILE CHECK-UP AND THE DEALER FOUND EXCESSIVE WEAR ON MY REAR BRAKES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND SERVICE ROTORS ON AN OUT-OF -POCKET COST TO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD WITH 27,000 MILES AND AT THE DEALER TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AT A COST OF OVER $500. I HAVE ALWAYS GOT OVER 50,000 MILES FROM A SET OF BRAKES ON ALL OF THE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS THAT I HAVE OWNED. I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS FOUND BY DEALER TO HAVE "NO REAR BRAKES" TODAY DURING A SERVICE VISIT. PER THE DEALER, HONDA CHANGED THE BRAKE PROPORTIONING FOR THESE VEHICLES SO THAT ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE BRAKING IS DONE BY THE REAR WHEELS. AS A RESULT, THE REAR PADS ARE WORN TO NOTHING PER THE DEALER WHILE THE FRONT PADS ARE HARDLY WORN AT ALL.
