Brakes on a 2008 Accord coupe wore out in the rear much earlier than expected. I found them to need replacing at 27,500 miles. Brake pads were worn down and needed replaced. They are too small for the size and weight of this vehicle. This is a safety hazard that is being ignored by Honda.

I had my rear brakes replaced on my 2008 Honda Accord at 34000 highway miles because they were worn beyond the sensor which I never heard. I never replaced the rear brakes on my last car even after 1400,00 miles and I read on line that this is a big problem on 2008 and 2009 Honda. Honda told me the rears wear faster than the fronts now and their mechanic said he often replaces them at 15,000 miles.

The braking system of Honda Accord 2008 is wearing out faster and is risking the drivers who are unaware of it. The rear braking system is the issue and Honda has not taken any decision regarding this.

This involves continuous brake rotor problems with my 2008 Honda Accord ex 6 cylinder car. At 42600 miles I complained to Honda about a grinding noise when making turns. They replaced the rear pads/shoes and machined the rotors. At 61200 miles I complained to Honda about scraping and clunking noises when backing up. They replaced the front pads and had to machine the front rotors because of warping. At 64200 miles I complained to Honda about the same clunking noise when going in reverse and a thumping sound when braking. The tech found a right rear caliper bolt was loose. He retorqued the bolts. I'm seeing so many complaints online about the '08 Accord brakes and I'm concerned this problem is going to keep occurring. I've never needed to have my rotors worked on in any car I've owned.

I had to replace my rear brake pads at just under 23,000 miles. They were worn extremely unevenly on the inside only. The outside pad was not worn at all. Now at just under 45,000 miles, they are in need of replacement again. Same problem -- worn on the inside only. The mechanic that I go to told me that he suspects that there is something wrong with the calipers. It is unusual to see absolutely no wear on the outer brake pad and all the wear on the inner pad. The first time I had them replaced, I went to the dealer and was told that is how Honda redesigned the braking system in the 2008 Accord. I purchased a Honda because of it's amazing reputation for reliability and am very disappointed that the brakes not working properly is not being fully investigated by Honda.

On 2008,2009 and potentially 2010 Honda Accord, braking distances are may longer due to the overloading of the rear brakes. This overloading of the rear brakes causes premature wearout (18,000 to 27,000 miles) of the rear brakes. Due to a failure to balance the loads in the brake system, front brakes may not performing their proper braking function. This is causing the rear brakes to carry additional braking loads and wear out sooner.

The rear calipers on a 2008 Honda Accord seized up and caused premature destruction of the brake pads and damaged rotors.. this has rendered the car unsafe according to a service tech of my own and the dealership. The caliper repair will be covered under warranty but Honda will not cover the cost of the damaged brakes and rotors. This problem occurred with less than 30,000 miles.

Honda Accord (2008) rear brakes are worn to the sensor at 16,000 miles. No warning.

I only have 9000 miles on my 2008 Accord and my mechanic told me with in 2000 miles I will need the rear brakes replaced. I noticed I am not the only Honda owner with this problem and that there are hundreds of complaints of rear brakes with premature wear. Does some one have to be injured or killed before something is done. Please some one has to step up to the plate and fix this serious problem with the Honda Accord because the Honda co. Sure is not going too.

I have had my 2008 Honda Accord exl for a little bit over a year. About one month ago, I heard my car making some screeching noise. It was not persistent but it was enough to make me feel embarrassed to drive my car. About 2 weeks ago the screeching noise became such a problem B/C 95% of the time I'm driving both rear brakes seem to be making the noise. It sounds like someone is running a metal wire along a metal sheet and it seems like the brakes slip every once in awhile. I recently googled the issue and its to be a fairly common thing. I just called and made an appointment with the dealership to have them look at it. I also told them about the thousands of complaints I have read online and told them that I will not pay for any charges that occur. They acknowledged a brake problem for all 2008/2009 Honda Accord and said they should be resolving the issue 12/22/09 and that I should hold off until then and that it is not a safety issue.

Premature wear on bake brakes of 2008 Honda Accord. Full replacement of back brakes at 23,000 miles.

- Alexandria, VA, USA

I own a 2008 Honda Accord. It started to make some noise in the front right side. I took it to a mechanic and he told me that it wasn't my front brakes and advise me to take it to the dealer, I did. Much to my surprise they told me that I needed back brakes. I was shocked I only had 12,787 miles on my car, rear brakes generally don't go before the front ones and not especially at this low miles. I concern that it the brakes are wearing out this soon they have to be defective and I'm concern that someone is going to get hurt. Lets not wait till someone dies before doing this recall. As a consumer I didn't by this car so that I can continue to pay Honda for repairs every year. I was told by the manager of service that I was going to need brakes every 12,000 miles. This is unfair and I feel that Honda should be responsible to repair this problem that they are fully aware of.
