Abnormal brake wear: I bought this certified, one-year-old dealer demo in january with approx. 10,000 miles on it. Between then and a service appointment in late april, I put another 8,500 mostly highway miles on the car. At the service appointment I was told that I needed to replace the rear brakes as they were on the verge of failure. I was also told such excessive wear was common in this model as well as the honda accord. I have never had to replace breaks at 18,500 miles, much less after 8,500. I was shrugged off by the service department and basically instructed that my best option was to purchase a lifetime warranty on the pads to help off-set the costs of constantly replacing them (this way I'm only out time and labor) due to a braking system that the dealership admitted had a design flaw but that they somehow couldn't fix. I don't understand why honda/acura is allowed to blow off repairing a defect in a safety component as critical as the braking system.
2009 acura tsx. Brakes and rotors had to be replaced at 23,000 miles. No warning from dealer of potential class action or its results when calling to make an appointment. Price acura, dover de. Gave me a three week window so I went to meineke, replaced for $412. Dealer refuses to reimburse. Acura refuses to admit a defect. There are two other 2009, 2010 acura tsx's in our family and they weren't notified either.
1. Excessive brake pad wear was noted on inboard side of rear brakes during routine service (at 21,000 miles). 2. Pads were replaced by dealer.
I have a 2009 acura tsx. At 17k miles the dealership said there was 7 mm left of rear brake pads. At 23k the brakes started to squeal. Dealer said 3mm left and needed replacement. When left, the squealing was gone. At 26k they state there is 00mm left. The dealership will not correct the problem. No break pad should wear out in this short amount of time.
Brakes on acura 2009 tsx wearing more frequently that they should. My acura began to make noise 2 days ago. It seemed like it was coming from the drivers side wheel, but I couldn't tell if it was front or back. I dropped it off at the dealership at 7:00 am this morning and told them to call me after they identified the problem and before they made any repairs. They said they recommend brake pads being changed every 15,000 miles. I have never had to do that for any vehicle I've owned (I am on my 3rd acura and never had this issue with the 2 tls I had). They said they would cover the front, but I needed to pay for the back. Approx. $350 for the work and materials.
I purchased my acura tsx 2009 in june 2009. I currently have 25,000 miles, almost all of which are highway miles. Just before 20,000 miles the rear brakes began to squeak. I brought the car to the dealer and sure enough the front brakes are totally fine and the rear breaks need to be replaced immediately, for $241. (as a side note: I contacted honda of america who claims to know nothing about the lawsuit honda has agreed to settle over exactly this problem, "unreasonable wear due to defective design that caused excessive force to be applied to the vehicle's rear wheels."
Rear brake pads were worn out and needed to be replaced at 16k miles on my new acura tsx 2009 car.
I have a 2009 acura tsx, the brakes keep prematurely wearing out and having to replace them ever 12-15k miles, I am already on my second set of brakes for the rear, dealership states that this is normal wear and tear on vehicle and I disagree, canada put out a service bulletin about their rear brakes and replace the pad and calipers. Accords in the same year have the same problem, premature brake wear. Inside wears faster than outside as well. This is an unnecessary expense and annoying.
Rear brakes on a 2009 acura tsx have worn early, well before the front brakes have worn down. Front brakes are at 70+% life, while the rears are already worn to within 1mm.
Normal driving, rear brakes worn out prematurely. Oe brakes worn out at 13600 miles, replacement brakes are currently being replaced at 35300 miles (I am currently at the dealer). Rear brakes are wearing out on the inside pads. Possible caliper issue. Front brakes are wearing normally. Recall has been issued for canadian models of this car, us models are yet to be recalled for this same issue. Honda accords have similar premature wear issue. Honda is yet to acknowledge the issue formally even though a complaint has been made. So far I have spent $250 (first time) and $200(second time) to get rear brakes replaced under 35000 miles. History of car: bought tsx in october 2008 (2009 model), first set of pads replaced in april 2009. Second set in march 2010.
Rotors on front brakes on 2009 acura, have been worn out the back brakes. Dealer fixed back brakes but the front brakes are worn out dealer keeps saying waiting for recall because other acura's are having saying problem. Now the front brake are completing out but they won't do nothing of the problem.
I bought an acura 2009 tsx (tech pkg) in august 2008. Within the first month I had the brakes squealing,terrible noise. Took it to the dealer, who said it is normal with front brakes. I have suffered with the problem everyday for 1.5 years. When I went back to the dealer few days ago, they said there is excessive wear on the front pads. The car has 14,000 miles as of march 2010. They replaced the brakes per the new service bulletin related to squeaking brakes. Windshield molding came loose for no apparent reason, dealer fixed it as warranty service. There is excessive glare on the navigation system, makes it dangerous while driving. Not sure if there is a fix for this.
