Rear brake pads wore out prematurely due to electric parking brake malfunction. Three different service writers at the Honda dealership acknowledged this as a known issue and stated they-??ve seen it multiple times on this model. Honda refuses to acknowledge the issue and take responsibility. Front brakes show no signs of premature wear and are still in good -??safe-?? condition. Mechanic at non-Honda service center agreed rear brakes wore out long before they should have and in a manner not related to normal wear and tear.

My rear brakes were reported to have been worn out and needing replacement when I last had my oil changed 12/3/2021 at the Honda dealership. I had them resurfaced this summer when taking my vehicle in for the previous oil change and routine maintenance. After reviewing several online posts and videos, I discovered several other Honda Accord owners reporting that their back brakes are wearing out much earlier than anticipated. This makes me think there is an underlying issue and defect in the braking system.

Rear breaks went from being in great conditions to totally work out to the point it was metal on metal. Went to the Honda dealership and they said the roters were rusted and corroded which caused the break pads to disappear. They stated it-??s a known issue with the 2018 Honda Accord but there is no recall at the time.

My brakes are very sensitive. Every time you brake it brakes hard. When I brake at 50 mph the steering wheel and brakes vibrate. I never had a car with this problem and I have had Honda's my whole life and never had this problem. I don't know if its because of the new electronic braking system but it sucks. This will be my last time buying a Honda due to this horrible braking problem. Every time I notify Honda service they tell me that's how the braking system is. Well its HORRIBLE. Got me looking like I am break checking somebody and making me seem like I can't brake or drive good. Honda really needs to fix this problem.

The brakes grab hard. The pedal goes down a little and then the brakes seem to lock up. We bought the car with 2 miles on it the same day it was delivered to the dealership. Immediately it was apparent there was a problem. They told us to drive it a while and it would go away. It has not. 2 weeks later I told them again. We have told them about the problem 4 times and they say no one else has complained with that problem. It has almost 35,000 miles on it and they say it will cost me to fix it, assuming they can find out what the problem is. H E L P !!!!

I have had issues with my rear brakes for a long time. I have changed my rear brakes twice since I had the car. Today all my warning lights in the dashboard turned on and won't turn off. I have no clue as to what's going on. Also the rear taillights had a broken seal where moisture collects in the taillights. The brakes in this car was the worst I have ever experienced. The car vibrates while braking and there is a vibration in the brake pedal as well despite having recently changed the brakes. The warning lights are a new problem and a complete electrical failure. The current mileage is 62,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the brakes activated independently. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to his destination. The contact called Honda of milford (767 bridgeport ave, milford, ct 06460, (203) 877-2888) and made the dealer aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The rear passenger brake pad is worn to nothing. All other pads are fine. I have 22,000 miles on my Honda. Dealership said it was rusted because I live at the beach. If that is true then would there not be problems with all 4. I heard scraping sounds before. The low tire pressure warning has been on. While driving my car, the electronic panel read I needed to pull over immediately and call roadside assistance. The tire pressure was fine.

Automatic sensor braking comes on while driving, there are no other cars around or object. While driving the brakes come on and the warning light on the dashboard, there are no cars in front of me or to the side. The car jerks as the brakes are automatically applied, while my foot is on the gas pedal. Then the brake is released, the whole event takes seconds. In fact it has happened when there has been no cars in sight. It has happened mostly on local roads going 45-50 miles, but has occured on a highway going around 65 mph. Purchased car in 2018, starting happening in 2019 and continues untill today. When I told Honda service, they said maybe the sensor for the braking system was dirty. I am concerned an accident will happen, if the brakes go on and there is no car in front but a car in back, its unsafe.

2018 Honda Accord- purchase car in Sept 2018, in November 2019 inching forward to see clearly to make a left turn, oncoming car to my right, stepped on the brakes and nothing, no brakes and lots of warnings on the dash. Panicked but was able to steer the car out of harms way and push ignition to stop. Happened again in December 2019, same scenario as above. Honda repaired brake booster. Occurred again in September 2020 at freeway speeds, changing lanes about to exit freeway in rush hour traffic, Honda replaced brake booster. Occurred again February 2021 on the streets. Car currently at Honda. Fluid leaking into the brake master cylinder. Honda about to replace brake booster and what they call a collector. No confidence in this car. Honda will not consider a buy back.

When I went to the Honda dealer in 2019 to change my oil, they have said that my rear brake pads need to be replaced even though I have had the vehicle for a couple of months. It was very bizarre to me as the car is fwd and the engine is in the front, thus making more stress on the front brake pads instead of the rear brake pads. Other Honda Accord 2018-2020 owners have complained of this same issue and I hope it can be resolved as it seems that the rear brake pads wear off too fast. The car was stationary at the time of notice.

Front brakes and rotors had to be replaced because they warped really early. Back brakes and rotors had to be replaced also because of noise sounding like scrapping.
