Rear brake pads wore out at 25910 miles.

Rear brakes failed at 21,000 miles. We purchased the car new and have very low mileage. The rear brakes needed to be completely replaced.
- Freehold, NJ, USA
Shoddy rear brakes. Purchased certified pre owned, and rear brakes were replaced through certification process at approx. 45,000 miles. 10/22/12 rear brakes, rotors and passenger rear caliper replaced at 62,000 miles. Rear brakes, rotors and caliper should have lasted many more miles. Front brakes fine.

I took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation and was told the rear brake pads needed to be replace. I found out that a lawsuit was settled in 2010 and people were informed of this. We never received any notice and when I contacted my local Honda dealer I was told there was nothing they could do about because there wasn't a recall notice. When I contacted corporate I was directed to the law firms website that informed me it was to late to file a claim. What can I do about this? thank you.

The brake pads are gone very rapidly on 56000miles only. Honda service centre is asking them to replace at my own cost I have Honda care plan as well but no luck. Brake pad should go as longer as 70,000 miles.

We had to have the brakes repaired again. We purchased the vehicle as a certified pre-owned Honda. We replaced the brakes last October 2011. 15,000 miles later, we had to replace them again? we took our Honda Accord to a Honda dealer in ft. Worth (frank kent Honda) for a recall repair and they said we needed new brakes. We took the Honda to just brakes in ft. Worth and the manager said our Honda has a caliper and brake problem associated with 2009 Honda Accord. The caliper causes the brakes to not "disengage" causing "friction" thus wearing the brakes down way too quickly"???? really?? this is news to us? nothing was said when we bought the Honda in January 2011. From huggins Honda in ft. Worth.? nothing was mentioned by frank kent Honda when they said we needed new brake pads? now I have read an article explaining a law suit over the brakes? why are Honda owners not being told or warned about this??"

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact was reversing from a residential driveway when the rear brake began exhibiting a very loud scraping metal noise. The vehicle was taken to a personal mechanic for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the rear brakes would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 21,627.

If you are driving at any speed over 40 mph and begin to stop; the steering wheel vibrates and the front end has a knocking sound. Taking the car in for service multiple times and having this issue noted. I have been told on three different occasion that my rotors are wrapped and need to be turned down. Having the rotors turn, soon as I left the lot. The issue still remained. The most offensive remarks made by a Honda service rep. Is" I have poor driving habits." Thinking I was going crazy, I asked a total stranger at my local supermarket driving a 2008 Accord. They told me they also have been experiencing the same issue with the car and Honda's service dept. I have been dealing with this headache for now 71000 miles, and now refuse to purchase another Honda ever. They probably could not give the car to me for free.
