I went to Honda dealership for routine maintenance on car. The mechanic came out and told me my rear brakes were nearly worn out and needed to be replaced. The car had 20,959 actual miles on these brakes. I had them replaced at my expense even though I felt this was highly unusual. Now my front rotors are giving me problems at 23,000 miles. The car jerks when the brakes are applied at highway speeds. I called Honda.....was told they hadn't had any problems or complaints, but I see same problem posted on this site.

: the contact stated the front of vehicle vibrates anytime the brakes are applied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rotors were turned three times during the first 17,000 miles of ownership. At 17,000 miles the front rotors were replaced and rear rotors were turned. The problem returned, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer today for the same problem and it was determined the rotors need to be replaced again. Each time the vehicle was inspected it was determined the rotors were worn, but the brake pads never showed any excessive wear. Updated 3/9/2006 -

2004 Honda Accord ex V6 : when braking from 50+ mph especially downhill causes the whole car to shudder. The car has 14000 miles on it. Dealer says the rotors are warped and it is my driving pattern. I had other Honda's which never had to have their rotors replaced until 100K miles at least. There is a technical service bulletin for defective brake pad material for 2003's Accord but a lot of 2004/2005 owners are complaining on the message boards (edmunds.com) as well. This is a major safety issue since you lose car control while braking. NHTSA should definitely investigate this issue.
