I have encountered premature rear brake pad wear after 21500 miles on a 2008 honda accord v6 ex-l sedan. I purchased replacement pads for the front brakes, but was totally shocked when I found the front brake pads showing little to no wear. A quick check of the rear pads revealed the brakes completely worn down! We have never left the parking brake on the car, when in motion. I am 44 years old and have never witnessed a car wearing its rear pads before the front ones and especially when the fronts look new. Also, I am wondering how this excessive brake wear has been affecting our gas mileage, as we have yet to achieve honda's mpg ratings even when running with cruise control on only 4 cylinders (eco mode one v6 ex-l). There are hundreds of complaints against honda for the 08-09 accord rear braking system and honda and their dealerships are blaming the owners for improper driving habits. Girard gibbs llp and co-counsel filed a class action lawsuit in september 2009 against honda, related to the rear braking systems in the 2008-2009 honda accord vehicles. The class action lawsuit against honda seeks certification of a nationwide class on behalf of owners and leasees of 2008-2009 honda accord vehicles. The case is pending in the united states district court for the central district of california before judge morrow. Also, apparently honda of america has been aware of this issue as the new safety design that comes standard with the car (vehicle stability assist, traction control, anti-lock, etc) has had an unanticipated affect on the life of the rear brake pads. At this point honda should be issuing a recall on all 2008-2009 accords to correct this issue.
