I believe the 2001 Honda Accord LX, 4 cyl has problems with the brake system. I bought car new in November 2000 and have changed the rotors 3 times, and the brake pads 5 times. I just had new rotors and pads put on last summer, and when the Honda dealership was checking my car for another problem, they discovered that the new rotors were warped and the pads wore out. I am wondering if the entire braking system is not working properly, which causes the front pads and rotors to wear down prematurely. The back drums have been replaced one time. It seems that for some reason when I use the brakes the front brakes are doing all the work. Nobody can figure out why.

Front brakes failed prematurely since ownership of this vehicle February, 2001. Front brake replaced as "good will" by Honda at 18618 miles because they did not feel this was to early. This is my third Honda, and I have never gotten less than 35,000 miles usage of front brakes. Brakes failed again at 40522 miles, this time paid for replacement of pads and rotors resurfaced. Now at 53554 miles brake pads gone again.

Rear brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced two times (in november2002 at 22,000 miles and then in June 2003 at 38,000...current mileage 39,000). I realized there was a problem because of a loud squealing and grinding noise coming from the rear of vehicle and parking brake light remained lit. Brakes have not completely failed.....yet.

My father is an owner of a 2001 Honda Accord ex V6 sedan. The car was purchased in July 2001 and has recently exceeded its warranty mileage of 36,000 miles. Two weeks ago, as my father was replacing the rear break pads, he noticed the linkage connecting the rear sway bar to the left rear wheel assembly was broken at the weld points. This broken linkage had caused the inside break pad to wear at much greater rate than the outside pad. My uncle is also an owner of a 2001 Honda Accord V6 sedan and upon hearing of the broken sway bar in my father??S car, he inspected the rear sway bar in his Accord and found that the same linkages were broken on both sides. His broken linkages also caused the same pattern of uneven brake wear in his car.

Brakes pads prematurely (in my opinion) wore out on all four wheels. This is our third new Accord, but never this problem.
