2010 Honda Civic Brakes Problems

MY BRAKES WILL BE STUCK (I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKE) WHEN I SUDDENLY PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDLY. I HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA ONCE I DID ONLINE SURVEY. TODAY, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT APPLY BRAKE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE STREET. THE BRAKE WORKS FINE AFTER THE ACCIDENT IF I PRESS THE PEDAL SLOWLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEAKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY 3,300 MILES. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,435.

I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND I HAD TO CHANGE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND NOW I NEED TO CHANGE MY FRONT DISC AND BRAKES AGAIN! I ALSO HAVE MACHINE TURNED THE ROTORS ONCE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE RECENTLY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHEN I NEED TO USE MY BRAKES, THE CAR WOBBLES AND SHAKES. I WAS TOLD BY AN AUTO MECHANIC THAT IT'S MY FRONT ROTORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 58,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING! MY SON HAS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC AND HE ONLY HAD TO CHANGE HIS BRAKES ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR NEW!! I UNDERSTAND THERE'S LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 CIVIC'S BRAKES AND THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL THAT HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS! I DO NOT HAVE A JOB AND THIS IS COSTING ME UNNESSESARY EXPENSE THAT I CAN'T AFFORD!

LIKE I KEEP READING...I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY CIVIC MULTIPLE TIMES TOO. THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA, BUT I HAVE HAD VW, TOYOTA/SCION AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH MY BRAKES, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT DUE TO MY DRIVING ABILITIES. IF I KNEW ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL BRAKE EXPENSE THAT I WOULD INCUR, I WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED A HONDA PRODUCT.

SINCE PURCHASING MY CIVIC IN 2013, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES TWICE, ONCE IN JANUARY, 2014 AND AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING AND SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING OVER A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC VERY MUCH, MOSTLY HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND SO TWICE IN 3 YEARS IS AT LEAST ONCE TOO MUCH AND IF YOU FIGURE THAT IS IT ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, EVEN TWICE IS TOO MANY.

AS MENTIONED BY OTHER OWNERS, I HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES IN -25000 MILES WHERE AS A FORMER HONDA ACCORD OWNER, I REPLACED THE BRAKES EVERY -55-60K. THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THE 2010 BRAKE SYSTEM IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE I TOOK THE CAR -25000 MILES TO THE WESTMINSTER HONDA WORLD AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN CATCH IT! MOREOVER NOT EVEN WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD!

I HAVE HAD MANY AUTOMOBILES OVER MY ALMOST 60 YEARS OF DRIVING. I DO NOT REMEMBER HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT LESS THEN 35,000 MILES OF USE, & HAVE GONE AS MUCH AS 60,000 BEFORE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. MY CURRENT HONDA CIVIC 2010 NOW NEEDS BRAKES AT 16, 000 MILES SOMETHING IS RADICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR AS MANUFACTURED TO MAKE THIS EARLY REPLACEMENT NECESSARY.

BRAKES NEED TO CHANGED AROUND 10 K MILES EACH TIME. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE ON THE BRAKES AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHY I NEED TOO CHANGE IT SO OFTEN. PER OTHER CIVIC USERS, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT MADE THE BRAKE WEAR SO QUICKLY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE BRAKES SO WEAR QUICKLY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALL.

THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED IN THE FRONT AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000. A DAY AFTER THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED, AT A DEALERSHIP, THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAL VERY LOAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY SANDED THE BREAKS LIGHTLY AND PUT STOP SQUEAK ON. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AFTER EACH INCIDENT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE BREAKS TEND TO MAKE THIS EAR SPLITTING SOUND ON DECLINE AND AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. HOT OR COLD DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME WHEN BREAKING. THE CAR IS USED 50%/50% FOR CITY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. 40% OF WHICH IS TRAFFIC. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM TO STOP. ALSO SUN VISOR NO LONGER WILL STAY UP. ANNOYING.

MY BRAKES MAKE A WHISTLING RIMING LOUD SOUND. SOUNDS LIKE A BELT. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HONDA I HAD ANOTHER CIVIC FOR 15YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS PLEASE FIX. *TR

EVERY 9,000 TO 10,000 MILES REAR BRAKE PADS WORN OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING ROTORS TO LOCK UP WITHOUT WARNING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE OCCURRED ON ALMOST ALL 2010 HONDA CIVIC. IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 30,000 MILES IN COMPARE TO OTHER MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH HONDA AND FIND A REMEDY FOR THE FIX. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC, WITHIN A MONTH AFTER PUTTING 5,000 ON MY HONDA CIVIC I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, BRAKES ARE FAULTY, IVE WENT THRU 2 BRAKE JOBS WITHIN A YEAR AND ONLY 12,000 MILES.......NEED TO RECALL THE BRAKES. *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR. HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PAD AT 24,022 MILES. *TR

IT STARTED AS A SCRAPING NOISE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WHEEL, ON THE FOURTH DAY THE NOISE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY LOUD, SCRAPING SOUND EVEN THOUGH MY SPEED WAS UNDER THE LIMIT. I TOOK MY CAR TO NTB FOR REPAIR AND WAS SHOCKED! REPLACED DISC BRAKE PADS,BRAKE SHOES,TWO ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THE ONE LOOKED SMOOTH THEY BOTH HSD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TODAY, 9/24/2014, I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 46,147 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THE CAR VERY CAREFULLY AND WE DON'T LIVE IN A MOUNTAIN AREA. FIRST TIME WE CHANGED THE BRAKES WAS AT 10,000 MILES. I CHOSE HONDA CIVIC BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS HONDAS I HAD, AND NONE OF THE PREVIOUS HONDA HAD BRAKES ISSUES LIKE OUR 2010 CIVIC. I HAD A 2008 CIVIC WHICH I LEASED AT THAT TIME, AND I EXITED THE LEASE AT 36,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ONCE! I FEEL THAT MY 2010 CIVIC HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT SAID THEY HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS AHEAD AND ADMIT OF THEIR FAULTY BRAKE PADS AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THANK YOU! *TR

VEHICLE HAS GRINDING NOISE. BROUGHT TO HONDA (NORM REEVES HONDA/HUNTINGTON BEACH) DEALERSHIP. FOUND THAT LEFT FRONT SENSOR BROKE OFF . ISSUE: WHY WOULD A BRAKE PAD EARLY WARNING DEVICE (SENSOR BREAK OFF). LEFT SIDE BROKE COMPLETELY, THE RIGHT SIDE WAS HALF BROKE. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED. IT ALSO CAUSED EXTRA COST BY CAUSING ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,365.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE GONE AT APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR AN ISSUE. NEW FRONT BRAKES WERE INSTALLED. THEN AS OF JUNE 2014, WITH ONLY 23K MILES ON THIS SET I AGAIN HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. NO SQUEALING TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I'M VERY NERVOUS NOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF THE BRAKES ARE GOING. I DEEM THIS TO BE AN EXTREME HAZARD AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE. *TR

BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION WELL. I HAVE TO PUSH IT HARD TO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO STOP EVEN WHEN THE SPEED IS VERY LOW. I ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITION IS ON, BRAKE WORKS WORSE. I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE A SELF-ACCELERATION PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITION IS ON. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 6 MONTHS STARTED BRAKE PROBLEMS. CAR DOESN'T COME TO COMPLETE STOP IF DON'T PRESS IT VERY VERY HARD. WHEN I TOOK CAR TO DEALER, HE SAYS GOOD AND WORKING FINE. I TOOK CAR TO MORE THAN 10 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. BUT I CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I APPLY BRAKES HARD. *TT

HERE WE ARE AGAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS WITH ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN BRAKES. HAVE SPEND OVER 1800 DOLLARS ON PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. CAR STILL WEARING OUT BRAKES IN UNDER 10K. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. COUNTLESS FOLKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THE BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIALS. *TR

HAD REPAIRS TO BRAKES AND ROTORS RESURFACED AFTER BEING TOLD TWO DAYS PRIOR BRAKES WERE FINE. SINCE THEN PARKING BRAKE LOCKS UP DURING COLD WEATHER UNABLE TO USE. *TR

AS A PRECAUTION, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXPECTING SOME PAD WEAR AT THIS MILEAGE BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. MY VERY TRUSTED MECHANIC SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PADS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON NEXT OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY PADS HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS - A $650 REPAIR ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. THE MOST TROUBLING THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO "CRICKETING" OF THE BRAKE PADS AT ANY TIME! AND NO OTHER TYPICAL BREAK WEAR FUNCTION ISSUES. NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW, ASIDE FROM A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WHY THE NHTSA IS ALLOWING HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE IS COMPLETELY BEYOND COMPREHENSION. *TR

PREMATURE WORM BRAKES. ITS A NEW CAR WITH NEW BRAKES. AFTER BARELY 5000 MILES I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. *TR

I WENT FOR MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES NEED REPLACEMENTS. BRAKES WORN OUT AT VERY LOW MILEAGE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND HEARD THE FIRST DREADFUL, SQUEALING ALERT OF MY WEARING BRAKE PADS. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASKED WHAT MIGHT BE GOING ON AS I WAS A FIRST TIME VEHICLE OWNER. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE SURLY WORN OUT AND BLAMED ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING HABITS, OR I WAS RACING. AT THIS POINT I BEGAN TO LAUGH IN DISBELIEF. THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN SO THEY CAN INSPECT THE PADS. I WENT IN AND WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR THEY TOLD ME MY BRAKES HAD BEEN CHANGED AND I WOULD NOT BE PAYING ANYTHING SINCE THEY WERE CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. NOT TOO LONG AFTER, THE SAME SQUEALING NOISE BEGAN AND THIS TIME AROUND I KNEW THE DRILL. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES MANY TIMES, ABOUT 5 TO BE EXACT, AND ONLY AT 60K MILES. NOT TO MENTION, IM BEGINNING TO WORRY A BIT BECAUSE MY BRAKES SINCE THE RECENTLY LAST TIME I CHANGED MY PADS, THE RESPONSE IN BRAKING HAS BEEN VERY BAD. I DO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SOMETIMES. ESPECIALLY FOR MY SIBLINGS' SAFETY WHEN I RIDE THEM TO SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS THAT ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS I AM. *TR

CUSTOMER STATED SQUEEL NOISE HEARD FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA, BEST HEARD WHEN SWERVING BACK AND FORTH VERIFIED BY HONDA TECHNICIAN ON ROAD TEST. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS, RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS & LUBED CALIPER SLIDE PINS FOR A TOTAL OF OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $261.48. SECOND INCIDENT, AGAIN THE METALLIC GRINDING SOUND HEARD FROM THE FRONT END AT 19,344 MILES ON 6/9/12. TECHNICIAN FOUND FRONT BRAKES PADS WORN OUT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AT ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $265.32. THIRD INCIDENT, AGAIN THE METALLIC GRINDING SOUND HEARD FROM THE FRONT END AT 30,906 MILES ON 8/10/13. TECHNICIAN FOUND FRONT BRAKES PADS WORN OUT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AT ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $528.25! PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT SINCE PURCHASE THE CIVIC HAS UNDERGONE 3 TIMES REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR RESURFACING, I.E., AN AVERAGE YEARLY OCCURENCE WHICH CUSTOMER THINKS IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE LAST SERVICE HAVING THE MOST EXHORBITANT CHARGE FOR THE SAME SERVICE. *TR

THE BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. I NOTICED A PROBLEM, AND BROUGHT IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOT ONLY THAT I NEED NEW PADS BUT I NEED NEW ROTORS AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THESE COMPONENTS WORE OUT THIS FAST, ESPECIALLY THE ROTORS. *TR

CAR BRAKES MAKES SQUEALING NOISE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED.CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I REMOVED BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND DISCOVER BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE WORN TO THE METAL NOW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT,I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND OWNED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT CARS OVER THE YEARS,THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT WEAR OUT BRAKES THIS FAST,MOST OF THE CARS I HAVE OWNED LASTED A MINIMUM OF 45,000 MILES SOME LASTED TO ABOUT 90,000 MILES,BY THE WAY I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLES IN FACT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I DRIVE LIKE A OLD LADY. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY SAFETY RECALL,SOME PEOPLE WITH NO MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE MIGHT CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS CAR AND GET THEMSELVES INTO A HORRIBLE SITUATION SOONER OR LATER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, SHE HEARD THE BRAKES SQUEAL AS SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

EXPERIENCED LOUD, GRINDING, NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHILE DRIVING- (NOISE-NOT CONSISTENT). TOOK CIVIC TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSTIC CAME OUT TO BE: BAD BRAKES!! THIS WAS A HUGE SHOCK AND PRICEY SURPRISE!! NOT ONLY DID THE BRAKES WEAR OUT PREMATURELY (IN MINE AND OTHERS OPINIONS) BUT THE DEALER HAD THE AUDACITY TO OVERCHARGE ME. EMBARRASSED TO SAY I PAID: THERE SPECIAL $210. AS AN NAVE 1ST TIME BUYER, I OVERPAID. THE DEALERSHIP TECH WOMAN RIPPED ME OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I THOUGHT HONDAS ARE RELIABLE AND ECONOMICALLY INEXPENSIVE TO REPAIR VEHICLES. *TR

FRONT BRAKES AT 3MM AFTER 17,000 MILES. STRONGLY RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE, A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND CONSUMERS PAYING OUT OF POCKET. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

I KEPT HEARING SQUEELING NOISE ON MY BRAKES SO AFTER TAKING IT IN TO HONDA THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 8000 MI ON IT AT AROUND 18000 IS WHEN I KEPT HEARING NOISES THEN WENT AWAY. NOW AT 22000 MI I BROUGHT IT INTO HONDA TO CHECK IT OUT AS OTHER PLACES SAID BRAKES WERE FINE. (MAYBE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE AS THEY KNEW IT WAS A HONDA ISSUE?) I THINK THIS IS PREMATURE WEARING OUT OF MY BRAKES AS BRAKES SHOULD LAST APPROX. 30000 MI NOT ONLY 10000-11000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I PAID FOR NEW BRAKES AND KEPT THE OLD PARTS. I'VE READ HONDA HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON EARLIER MODELS AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED TO MY YEAR HONDA CIVIC 2010. *TR

BOUGHT CAR WITH 63835 MILES AND AT 65000 MILES CAR NEEDED BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTOR REPLACE CAUSE OF BAD WEAR , THEY WERE REPLACE AND NOW AT 73000 MILES I NEED BRAKE PADS AGAIN , BRAKES ON THESE CAR IS THE WORST EVER. *TR

BRAKES MAKING SCREECHING NOISE, ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AT 34,000 HIGHWAY MILES AND NOW 20,000 MILES LATER BRAKES ARE NOT BRAKING PROPERLY , SCREECHING AND CALIPER LEAKING AND BRAKE SENSOR HAS BROKEN OFF. I'VE BEEN A HONDA OWNER ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. DONT EXPECT ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE HELP FROM CORPORATE I WAS BRUSHED OFF. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, I NOTICED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE TWO METAL DISCS RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS HEARING. THEY LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE MACHINED AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED. I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED THAT AT 22,000 MILES, THIS WOULD NEED TO BE DONE. LUCKILY SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THE DEALERSHIP PAID THE COST OF THE JOB WHICH WAS AROUND $200. THIS HAS ME CONCERNED FOR FUTURE USE OF MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HIGHWAY DRIVING. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AFTER 17000 MILES, *TR

AT 15000 MILES MY CARS FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTARS ARE WORN OUT, I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA FOR MY 15000 MILE SERVICE, WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO INSPECT BRAKES, YET NO MENTION OF BRAKE ISSUES WERE BROUGHT UP. TWO WEEKS LATER MY BRAKES WERE BAD. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME DEFECT IN THERE HONDA CIVICS. I AM HOPEFUL THAT HONDA DOES A RECALL, TO PROTECT THERE NAME, BECAUSE I WAS ORIGINALLY VERY HAPPY TO HAVE A HONDA, NOW I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEW, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES TWICE, FIRST AT 8,044 MILES AND JUST RECENTLY AGAIN AT 15,770 MILES. IT IS APPARENT THIS MODEL HAS A PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR THAT HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS. *TR

NEEDED NEW BRAKE PADS AT 18,645 MILES DURING THREE YEAR LEASE. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER BRAKE PADS LIKE OTHER CAR MAKERS. BRAKE PADS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT SO QUICK. I DO NOT HAVE 245 DOLLARS FOR EVERY 18 THOUSAND MILES OR LESS TO CHANGE THE BRAKES EVERY 2 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED A CHEVY AND FORD,BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NEEDED NEW BRAKE PADS AT 40K MILES PLUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACE THE BRAKES TWICE AND AT MY OIL CHANGE TODAY THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IN 2 1/2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AND HONDA HAS ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC THAT I LEASED IN MAY OF 2010. IT IS NOW JANUARY 3, 2013 AND I HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES ALREADY. THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WEARING TOO IMMATURELY. *TR

BRAKES WEAR OUT TOO FAST: 1ST TIME WAS AT 15000 MILES AND NOT\W NEED AGAIN AT 32000 MILES. I GOOGLED WEBSITE AND FOUND MANY HAS SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR'S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE MAKER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES MY BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. DIAGNOSIS CAME FROM LOUD SCREECHING AND WHISTLING NOISE FROM FRONT DRIVERS-SIDE TIRES. HAD NO CONSISTENCY WITH SPEED OR BRAKING - SOMETIMES IT WHISTLED WHILE GOING FAST, SOMETIMES WHILE SLOW, SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING, SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING. I TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND USE THIS CAR VERY INFREQUENTLY. I AM DISGUSTED BY HAVING TO CHANGE BRAKE PADS AT 25,000 MILES - THE MAJORITY OF WHICH IS DISTANCE DRIVING TO FAMILY OUT OF TOWN. *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WORN OUT 17000 MILES ON FRONT BRAKES LESS THAN TWO YEARS SINCE THE CIVIC WAS BOUGHT. PAID $287.00 AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO REIMBURSE FEES. *TR

SQUEALING NOISE COMES AND GOES. MONTHS LATER IT RETURNED AND LASTED FOR LONGER INTERVALS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. ALL DRIVING IS DONE LOCALLY. HAVE BEEN A LONG-TIME OWNER OF HONDAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A "USUAL" ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A POORLY MADE VEHICLE. *TR

ON OUR NEW HONDA CIVIC, OUR FRONT BRAKES WENT OUT AT 15,900 MILES. OF COURSE, THE SERVICE REPS TRIED TO BLAME THE "HARD DRIVING" WHICH WAS THEIR ASSUMPTION. THEY DID REPLACE THEM, BUT NOW AT 29,000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE OUT AGAIN. CLEARLY, HONDA IS USING EITHER POOR QUALITY PADS OR THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. WE ARE TAKING IT IN AGAIN, BUT DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE THAT THEY'LL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2010 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL. MY CAR WAS SERVICED AT 18,800 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT MY BRAKES HAD TO BE CHANGED. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 6,400 MILES ON IT. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE FACT THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES INTO DRIVING THE CAR. BRAKES ARE MEANT TO LAST ABOUT 30,000 MILES BEFORE BEING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA DOES NOT LET THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS KNOW THAT THEY HAVE FAULTY BRAKES THAT THEY WEAR OUT QUICKER. NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO COVER THE COSTS OF EARLY BRAKE CHANGES. *TR

MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC DX WITH JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH BRAKE PADS EVERY 10-15,000 MILES. THIS IS ENTIRELY TOO FREQUENT, AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS GRINDING AND HAVING ISSUES NOW AS WELL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS THIS NEW, AND THE BRAKES SHOULD BE LASTING MUCH LONGER. EVEN A HEAVY BREAKER DOES NOT GO THROUGH BRAKE PADS THIS FREQUENTLY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY HONDA TO SEE THAT THE COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE BRAKING SYSTEM SATISFACTORILY REFLECT THE QUALITY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND BUILD THAT HONDA REPRESENTS TO ITS CUSTOMERS. THE DOT SHOULD PRESSURE HONDA TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THESE ISSUES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PREVALENCE AND THE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED BY CONSUMERS ALREADY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE BRAKES EMITTED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND ALL OF THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,600. UPDATED 10/11/12*LJ UPDATED 10/15/2012 *JS

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LIKE EVERY DAY. BUT EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE I HEARD THE SOUND (METALLIC). I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER. AFTER INSPECTION THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ROTOR WAS DETERIORATED AND THE FRONT PAD IS DAMAGED. I HAVE TO DO THE SERVICING AND ITS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. SO HONDA WILL NOT PAY ANYTHING! I PAID $289.26 FROM MY POCKET TO DO THE ROTOR RESURFACING AND REPLACE TWO FRONT BRAKE PAD OF MY NEW HONDA CIVIC. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? I HAVE THE RECEIPT WITH ME. AFTER SERVICING I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THIS TIME THE SERVICE ADVISER DID THE B*** S*** WITH ME. I TOLD HIM TO DRIVE MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING MY CAR HE UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. SO HE TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN AND AFTER 10 MINUTES HE CAME BACK TO ME. HE TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE SCREW WAS BROKEN, THEY REPLACED IT. I WAS SHOCKED!!! I TOLD THEM THAT THEY MISGUIDED ME AND IT COST ME AROUND 300 BUCKS. BUT THE SERVICE ADVISER REFUSED TO AGREE THE TRUTH...THIS IS CRAZY. WHY DO THEY REPLACE MY NEW CIVIC BRAKE FRONT PAD AND ALSO DO THE RESURFACING OF THE ROTOR??...IS THIS CALLED SERVICE...I WANT MY MONEY BACK...FIRST QUESTION IS WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THE RESURFACING OF ROTOR FOR ONLY 18K MILEAGE CAR?? AND SECOND QUESTION IS..IF IT WAS DONE BY MISTAKE..THEN WHY THEY TOOK MY MONEY!!THIS IS ALL CRAZY. *JS

AT 18,000 MILES THE 2010 CIVIC EX BEGAN TO "GROWL" STARTING AT 57MPH. THE RIGHT REAL WHEEL WAS ALSO MUCH HOTTER THAN THE OTHER THREE WHEELS AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE EACH WEEK, TO THE POINT I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE STUCK, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE "SLIDES", AND THAT THEY "ADJUSTED" THEM. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT BOTH BACK TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE "CORDS WERE TORN". AFTER PAYING THE DEALER OVER $360 FOR TIRES AND ADJUSTMENTS, I M FINDING THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS RANDOMLY GET VERY HOT AND SMELL HOT, TO THE POINT OTHERS CAN SMELL IT AS WELL. WHILE THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA REP, THEY SAY THAT THERE ARE NO KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH HONDA CIVIC BRAKES. WHICH SEEMS ODD WHEN THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST HONDA FOR CIVIC BRAKE ISSUES. I AM WRITING THIS NOTE TO YOU SO OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS CAN BE MADE AWARE. I HAVE OWNED 3 CIVICS AND 1 PILOT AND NOT HAD ISSUES UNTIL PURCHASING THIS BRAND NEW 2010 CIVIC EX IN FEBRUARY OF 2010. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN WINTERS, AND ONLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE OF STICKING BRAKE CALIPERS, AND CORRECT IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2010 CIVIC, ONLY 15,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD CARS PRIOR TO THIS ONE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS! *TR

PURCHASED CAR NEW FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP. FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 15000 ALONG WITH A FAULTY CALIPER, THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN IN APPROXIMATELY 30000 MILES (6 MONTHS LATER). NOW THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS COMPLETELY OFF AT JUST AROUND JUST OVER 34000 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF CALIFORNIA. DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE VERY WELL COULD BE A LINK BETWEEN THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AND THE BRAKES. *JS

NEED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS - TOTALLY DESTROYED WITH ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING AND LESS MILEAGE THAN ANY OTHER CAR EVER OWNED. $466.57 WITH NO WARRANTY. LUDICROUS THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR AT THIS MILEAGE. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH NO WARNING. *TR

PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO ENGAGES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO MOVE WHEN ONLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. IF YOU PRESS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T OCCUR HOWEVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC YOU ALWAYS DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY PRESSING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

I LEASED OUR BRAND NEW 2010 HONDA CIVIC ON 05/31/2010. PRIMARILY I USED THE VEHICLE TO COMMUTE FROM/TO WORK. I AM A VERY RESPONSIBLE DRIVER AND TOOK A GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE CHANGING OIL REGULARLY, CHECK LIQUIDS, ETC. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DRY DAY ON 07/28/2011 IN THE LEFT LANE WITH AVERAGE SPEED 40 MPH, THE TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE BRAKES FAILED (DID NOT WORK). I HEARD A METAL SOUND AND PUSHED A PEDAL STRONGER. I THINK THE VEHICLE PROBABLY DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. I TURNED LEFT TO A SHOULDER IN ATTEMPT TO STOP A VEHICLE AND AVOID A DIRECT COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I BELIEVE I COULD GET MUCH WORSE INJURIES IF I HAD NOT DONE THIS TURN. DRIVING IN A SHOULDER I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR'S TRAJECTORY AND STOP IT IN A SHOULDER, BUT MY CAR FISHTAILED OUT OF CONTROL, CONSISTENTLY DEVIATING TO THE LEFT WHERE CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER WAS AND DID NOT STOP. VERY LOUD NOISE WAS COMING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME SINCE I APPLIED BRAKES, WHICH PROVE THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. I CONSTANTLY TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN IT UNTIL MY CAR COLLIDED IN TO THE VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE. A RESULT OF THIS WAS A FOUR CAR ACCIDENT AND EIGHT BODY INJURIES INCLUDING MYSELF. AND THE WORST PART WAS MY INSURANCE COMPANY CONSIDER IT TO BE MY FAULT!!! I CALLED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES ASKING THEM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR BRAKES INSPECTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. AND IT MOST LIKELY WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE MORE ACCIDENTS/INJURIES IN THE FUTURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT A CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THEY ADVISED ME TO HIRE A TOW TRUCK $150 ON MY OWN EXPENSE AND BRING A CAR THERE AND HAVE PAID CHECKUP, WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING BETWEEN $500 AND $2,000. MY CAR WAS 18K MILES WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. BE CAREFUL WITH THAT CAR!!! *JS

I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK JAN OF 2011 NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS AND 11,000 MILES MY BRAKE PADS WERE DONE. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD MY DRIVING WAS THE ISSUE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS NOTHING BUT BULL FROM HONDA. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ONCE AGAIN NOT EVEN ANOTHER 11,000 MY BRAKE PADS ARE DONE AGAIN, THIS TIME I REPLACE THEM MYSELF AND NOTICE THAT BOTH INSIDE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT MORE THEN THE OUTSIDE. THE PADS ARE WEARING OUT UNEVEN THAT'S NOT NORMAL. HONDA SHOULD WARRANTY PADS AND PISTONS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

- PREMATURE BRAKE WARE 40 THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR AND THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE CHANGED THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME, CHECKED IN FEB 14, 2012 AND DEEMED FINE. - REAR WHEEL WOBBLE - PASSENGER WINDOW GLASS SHAKES WHEN WINDOW DOWN - DOOR UNLOCK MAKES SCREECHING NOISE WHEN UNLOCKED - CAR WHINES WHEN STARTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC LX THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN AUG 2010. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES WHEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND. I CONTACTED HONDA METRO IN JERSEY CITY, NJ. THEY STATED THAT IT IS THE MANNER IN WHICH I DRIVE MY CAR. I DISPUTED THIS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL OVER THE PHONE BC TO CHANGE THE BRAKES AT ONLY 15K MILES IS COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF. I ENDED UP HAVING MY FATHER GO TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED ANYWAY BY THEM. THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKES WERE DIRTY AND NEEDED A CLEANING. WELL SOON AFTER THAT MY BRAKES STARTED DOING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY SPRAYED IT WITH NOISE DAMPENING SPRAY. ANYWAY, I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. BEFORE SOMEONE DIES CAN YOU PLEASE PUSH THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY DO NOTHING!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN A SQUEALING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE BRAKES AFTER BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

PURCHASED THIS CIVIC IN JUNE 2010 AND JUST PUT THE SECOND SET OF PADS ON THIS WEEK. FIRST SET AT 21,000. 19,000 MILES AND ONLY 9 MONTHS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING BETWEEN REPLACEMENT PADS. UNEVEN PREMATURE WEAR ON THE LEFT INNER PAD INDICATING THAT THE PADS ARE REMAINING IN CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. ALSO EXPERIENCING A BURNING SMELL. RIGHT SIDE PADS ARE ALMOST NEW. PERSONAL MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPER AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME. I DID AND IT "WAS NORMAL WEAR". HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SO MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 5TH HONDA AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN AS DISAPPOINTED. THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR. FRONT BRAKES EXHIBITED SQUEALING AFTER 15,000 MILES. REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR BRAKE PADS WAS REQUIRED: APPROXIMATELY 1/16 TH INCH WAS REMAINING ON EACH OF THE OEM BRAKE PADS. *JS

HONDA CIVIC LX 2010. FEW DAYS AGO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THAT'S VERY STRANGE CONSIDERING MY CAR HAS ONLY 20,100 MILES. IN ADDITION, I AM A PERSON WHO TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR (OIL CHANGE, TIRES, FLUIDS, EVERYTHING) AND MOREOVER IF THE VEHICLE IS LEASED. UNFORTUNATELY BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAID FOR THEM. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM BRAMAN HONDA TO PROVE WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! EVERY 3 MONTHS I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR TO THE DEALER WITH SOME NEW PROBLEMS AND PAY BETWEEN $150-350!! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT WE (THE CONSUMERS) SHOULDN'T BEING PAYING FOR! DO SOMETHING!! *TR

I HEARD A SQUEALING METAL ON METAL NOISE ON MY HONDA CIVIC, AND SO TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT SERVICED - THE MECHANIC WHO HELPED ME TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY BE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DISCOVERED THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING --- AT 19,800 MILES. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER THE "WEAR AND TEAR" CLAUSE OF THE WARRANTY --- BUT THE BRAKES FAILED AT 19,800 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE COLD HEARTED, THE OPERATOR WAS CLEARLY IN INDIA AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE - I WILL NEVER OWN A HONDA AGAIN. *TR

TODAY, MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE - 26000 MILES. AT FIRST I WAS SHOCKED. NOW, I AM DEEPLY DISTURBED BECAUSE TODAY, I LEARNED OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA REGARDING BRAKE ISSUES IN 2008, 2009 AND 2010 HONDA CIVICS. SERVICE REP AT HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR INDICATED THAT BRAKES HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON HONDA ACCORDS IN THE PAST, SO MUCH SO, THAT HONDA DID COME OUT WITH AN IMPROVED BRAKE PAD FOR THE ACCORD. I UNDERSTAND THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAD BEEN INITIATED DUE TO THE ACCORD PROBLEM AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH RESPECT TO THE CIVIC. HONDA IS FACED WITH A VERY SERIOUS, WIDESPREAD SAFETY PROBLEM ON 2010 CIVICS DUE TO PROBLEMATIC BRAKES. LET'S HOPE THEY STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS. OUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THEIR INTEGRITY. *TR

HONDA CIVIC 2010 WAS PURCHASED NEW. AT THE INITIAL SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE VEHICLE HAD 9,000 MILES. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE CHECKED AT THE REQUEST OF THE OWNER. THE ROTORS WERE FOUND TO BE IN VERY POOR CONDITION AS WERE THE PADS. THE ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND SERVICE APPOINTMENT, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FRONT BRAKES GRABBING, AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD 18,000 MILES. THIS WAS IN DECEMBER, 2011. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER AT WHICH TIME THE FRONT PADS WERE FOUND TO BE IN VERY POOR CONDITION, AND WERE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC THAT I PURCHASE IN OCT OF 2009 THAT IS GOING THROUGH BRAKES PREMATURELY. THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THE CIVIC'S BRAKING SYSTEM. ON NOVEMBER 30TH ON 2010, I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA IN TORRANCE, CA BECAUSE MY BREAKS WERE SQUEAKING. I WAS CERTAIN THAT AFTER ONLY 13 MONTHS AND 12,457 MILES THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT AND THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE COST OF ANY REPAIRS. WRONG. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS AND THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE THE PADS WERE WORN EVENLY AND IT APPEARED TO BE "NORMAL" WEAR AND TEAR. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAVE HAD HONDA'S FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BREAK PADS BEFORE 25,000-30,000 MILES. HE SIMPLY SHOOK HIS HEAD AND GENTLY INSINUATED THAT IT MAY BE DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS OR THE FACT THAT I LIVE ON A HILL. I PAID THEM $196.59 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. ON OCTOBER 31ST 2011, I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA AGAIN FOR A PROBLEM I HAD BEEN HAVING WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCKS (LUCKILY, THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). WHEN THE REP CAME OUT TO UPDATE ME ON THE STATUS, HE INFORMED ME THAT I HAD VERY LITTLE LEFT TO MY BRAKE PADS. I WAS SHOCKED AND OF COURSE LOOKED AT THE MAN LIKE HE HAD FOUR HEADS. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS ONLY A YEAR AND LESS THAN 11,000 MILES (10,993 MILES TO BE EXACT) SINCE I LAST HAD THE PADS REPLACED. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS MET WITH THE SYMPATHY OF A REP SHAKING HIS HEAD AND A "SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS" COMMENT. I HAVE ALWAYS SWORN BY HONDA VEHICLES, BUT IF I HAVE TO LAY OUT 200 BUCKS FOR NEW BRAKE PADS EVERY 11,000 MILES, I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE IN THE FUTURE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL AND MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *TR

BOUGHT 2010 HONDA CIVC IN THE EARLY PART OF 2010. AT THE END OF THE 2010I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES (OVER $ 200.00). IT IS NOW THE END OF 2011 AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AGAIN. MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 35000 MILES ON IT AND IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. I CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THE BRAKES I BOUGHT IN 2010 WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKES. *TR

THE BRAKES PULL AND MAKE TREMENDOUS NOISE WHEN STOPPING SHORT AND THEY PULL AND MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THEY RUMBLE, SCREECH, AND SKID. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS STICKING. THE CAR IS GETTING 17 TO 20 MILES TO THE GALLON ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAYS WITHOUT THE AIR-CONDITIONING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND HONDA SAYS ALL THE CARS DO IT, SO IT ISN'T A LEMON. THE HONDA CIVIC I TEST DROVE DID NOT DO IT. ALSO, THERE WAS SOME BENT METAL UNDERNEATH THE CAR TOWARD THE CENTER. THE CAR HAD 11 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED WHEN UNLOADING IT FROM THE TRAILER. THE SALESMAN WORKED HARD TO SELL ME THIS PARTICULAR CAR. IT FRIGHTENS ME AND IT FRIGHTENS MY PARENTS WHEN WE DRIVE IN IT. I DO NOT THINK IT IS SAFE AND I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. *TR

MY VEHICLE WASN'T EVEN A YEAR OLD AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED NEW BRAKES. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE BRAKES AND THE ROTOR. I WAS METAL TO METAL. OF COURSE I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PURCHASE BRAKES FOR MY NEW CAR. I ALSO MENTION TO THE MECHANIC HOW MY VEHICLE HESITATED ON OCCASION. NOTHING WAS EVER FOUND WITH THAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE FOR A FEW MOMENTS WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD UNTIL CRASHING INTO A RAVINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS CLASSIFIED AS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TECH AT HONDA SERVICE DEALER FOUND FRONT BRAKE-PAD WEAR AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT ($325 + TAX). I THINK IT IS PREMATURE FOR A 16K MILEAGE CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC IN 3/2010 (IT ONLY HAD 11 MILES). ABOUT 7-8 MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED THE CIVIC WAS MAKING WIERD BRAKING NOISES. IT WOULD COME AND GO. BUT IN 2/2011 (LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER MY PURCHASE) I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BRAKING. I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT MY BRAKES AS IT WAS GETTING WORSE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS AND MY LEFT ROTOR. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 9000 MILES ON IT!!! I PAID $400 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES!! I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING. 7 MONTHS LATER (9/2011) THE BRAKE IS AT IT AGAIN. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO SQEAKING SOUNDS TO WARN ME, THE CAR SUDDENLY SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS METAL RUBBING ON METAL AND MY CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE. AGAIN, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! I'VE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES PRIOR AND NEVER HAD ANY BREAK ISSUES. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO WORK? I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. PLUS, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL ME THE SAME THING AND CHARGE ME ANOTHER $400 WHEN IT'S CLEARLY NOT MY DOING BUT A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TT

CAR WAS MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING BROUGHT CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY STATE AT 7400 MILES FRONT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THEY SAY IT IS FROM AGGRESSIVE DRIVING THIS IS NUTS THEY WILL NO COVER REPLACEMENT OF PADS AND TELL ME IT IS FROM REAR BRAKES NOT BEING ADJUSTED. *TR

PREMATURE WEAROUT OF FRONT BRAKING PADS AND DISCS ON 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 22,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS PRIMARILY DRIVEN HIGHWAY MILES AND IS ONLY 12 MONTHS OLD JUST COMING OUT OF IT'S FIRST WINTER. THE RIGHT FRONT HAD A FULLY WORN OUT PAD AND A HALF WORN OUT PAD ALONG WITH HEAT DISTRESS ON THE RF ROTOR INDICATING CALIPER STICKING AND PAD NOT RETRACTING FROM ROTOR. LEFT FRONT PADS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY UNEVEN WEAR ON THE SAME PAD FROM FRONT TO BACK AGAIN INDICATING SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS STICKING. TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY COULD ONLY REPEAT THE WORD "BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY". I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND WEAR OUT. IF THEY DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND STICK, OVER HEAT AND DO NOT RETRACT IN THE FIRST YEAR, SOMETHING IS SIGNIFICANTLY WRONG IN THE DESIGN. GM AND FORD HAVE BEEN DESIGNING VERY GOOD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT LAST 40K 50K OR MORE MILES. WITH THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC, BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT UNEVEN PAD WEAR, A "BRAKE JOB" HAS TO BE PERFORMED AT EVERY THIRD OLD CHANGE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN THAT INVOLVES SAFETY AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND GIVEN A FIX. *TR

ON JANUARY 17, I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND VEHICLE INSPECTION DONE. MY BRAKES WERE AT 6MM. ON APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 15, I NOTICED A "METAL ON METAL" SOUND COMING FROM MY CAR. ON FEBRUARY 22 I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT'S A 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 21,000 MILES. I'VE OWNED IT FOR 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS- SO THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS AS THOUGH HONDA CORP NEEDS TO START LOOKING INTO THIS AS THIS SEEMS LIKE ITS BECOMING QUITE A COMMON OCCURANCE AND IT'S EXCESSIVE AND HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA- WHICH IS SAD BECAUSE HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CAR TO BUY IF YOU WANT TO AVOID REPAIRS AND BREAKDOWNS!!!!! (THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT THE HONDA- ITS HISTORY OF RELIABILITY AND STAMINA. WELL- THAT IS QUICKLY GOING OUT THE WINDOW UNLESS HONDA CORP DOES SOMETHING!) *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE SYSTEM WEAR AFTER ONLY 15,000 MI OF CONSERVATIVE CITY DRIVING IN THE SPAN OF 12 MONTHS. *TR

WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON MY CAR, MY BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED MY CAR TO NEED NEW BRAKES THIS EARLY, SO I ALMOST DIDN'T TAKE MY CAR IN WHEN IT WAS MAKING A NOISE. I INSPECTED MY CAR TO SEE IF SOMETHING AS STUCK IN THE TIRES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND AM SHOCKED TO FIND OUT MY BRAKES ARE ALREADY WORN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR HONDAS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A FOURTH TIME AND THE DEALER STATED THAT HE WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME WHICH CAUSED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE TWO PEDALS BEING SO CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,843. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 400. UPDATED 01/04/11*LJ THE CONSUMER BELIVED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPDATED 01/07/11

MY CAR FAILED TO STOP AND BUMPED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT IN FRONT OF ME AT SLOW SPEED ABOUT 3MPH. *TR
