Premature brake wear rear pads.
2009 Honda Accord brakes complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 236, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When making a hard braking stop from as slow as 35 MPH an hour the front of the car dips so badly front of the touches the ground making the occupants lurch forward.
Grinding or squealing sounds while braking is applied. Brake pads was 100% (totally) worn out and there's metal to metal grinding contact at the (passengers) right rear wheel rotor, but the left side back brake shoes was 80% worn out. The front wheels brake shoes was still 80% thick.
Sudden screeching of rear brakes and short after grinding noise when breaking. Took car to get brakes checked and had to replace brake pads due to calipers sticking and making interior pads wear out completely while exterior pads where still good. Rotors worn to or below minimum specifications. Will have to replace both rear rotors and calipers. I have never had to replace rotors or calipers on any car, not even with 86k miles on them and on this 2009 honda accord ex-l I have to replace them at 46,413 miles? This is not good! Honda should pay for all expenses and parts. Lowest quote to replace with oem is approximately $750.00 what would the cost be if I would of not hear the noise and check the brakes?
Rear brake issues at 31,000 and 61,000 front brakes required repair at 61,000 tires not turning.
I brought my car into honda today for service and they tell me that I need rear brakes. I was a part of the class action suit two years ago to this day when I had to have my rear brakes replaced with a "new improved" pad. I had 16,527 miles then and now I have 35,859 and they need to be replaced again. These are rear brake pads and should last much more that 17,000 miles. Due this issue, my rotors were damaged by these "new and improved" brakes and have to be replaced, again. I feel that this is something that honda should cover and not sure if anyone else out there has had a similar issue. Two sets of rear brakes before 36000 is unacceptable.
Service person says I need rear brake pads replaced and the rotors cut. I complained that the wear was too premature and should be a subject of manufacturer's recall and should be free of charge. After talking to two other personnel at the findlay honda henderson I got the same response. It must be my driving habits that I brake hard. Of course I know I don't. The other guy says it's normal wear. I've had several cars and the normal wear is beyond 60k miles. I'll never buy honda ever again and will volunteer to all not to buy honda cars. I'll also put a sign on my rear windshield of the poor quality of the brakes. Cost of brake job-$200. Mileage 32586.
There was grinding noise for couples days on and off. Vehicle was dropped at local dealer and rear brake had to be replaced. Vehicle mileage was only at 22k miles. Considering that accord is fwd, I was wondering why rear brake worn out much faster than typical life time of brake pads.
Rear brakes are completely gone and I only have 25,000 miles in my 2009 honda accord.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 35 MPH and approached a traffic stop, as the brakes were applied a loud screeching noise emitted continuously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where both rear brake pads were replaced. In addition, the rear rotors were resurfaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 24,914. Updated 10/16/12
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda accord. The contact stated hat while driving approximately 40 MPH and engaging the brake pedal, a metal to metal noise was heard from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer twice for the defect where both rear brake pads were replaced each time. In addition, the rear rotors were replaced once. The failure recurred after the repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000. Updated 10/10/12
I went to have my car serviced at the honda dealership and was told that my rear brakes measured at 3mm and they needed to replace the pads and resurface the rotors. I was also told that this should not have happened on a vehicle with this amount of miles,although the dealership says that this is a defect they say it is out of their hands and will do nothing about it.
Started hearing rear brake squeaking. Mentioned to dealer when getting an oil change and was told I needed the rear brakes replaced at 20,493 miles. I was given an excuse that this could be due to my driving habits. The front brakes should go first, so I did some research and found that a class-action lawsuit has been approved to cover $150 of the repair which I do not feel is adequate. It appears to be an engineer design error on the 2008, 2009 and some 2010 honda accords. I believe there should be a recall and they should fix the problem due to their own error. We pay big bucks to these car companies and they need to be held accountable when they cut corners or their engineers screw up.
Noticed that rear brakes started making a high pitch squealing noise. Took it in and had the rotors cleaned and they said brakes were fine and it was a defect on honda cars that the brakes tend to squeal. The cleaning did not help as it still makes a high pitch squealing noise.
I am fortunate to be alive as my brakes were not working and I was coming off a ramp but driving in the speed limit...that is the key. There was nothing wrong with the brakes-but the "brake booster and master cylinder was leaking"a reliable mechanic did not detect anything-but I had the car towed to the dealership even though the brakes were now working fine. The mechanic at the first place said nothing was detected-there were no signs visual or electronic ( on the dashboard)of anything wrong. However the dealership said the master cylinder was leaking and damaged the brake booster. How was I to have known? There was no indication of this on the dash and no sign of anything. I am lucky to be alive because of the way I handled this situation. They are charging me a pretty penny and I feel I have a lemon. This is a product defect and could have killed many people.this is the first time but it could have been the last time as the car could have been totaled along with me.is this how one finds out about issues with brake boosters? I want my money back or I want a new car. I am very very uncomfortable driving this car now.
The brakes on my honda accord 2009 ex have squeaked from day one. After 27000 miles the squeaking was extremely loud and continuous. Repair costs > $385 for new pads and resurfacing of the rotors that are expected to correct the issue. The car is under warranty and honda refuses to fix the issue under warranty. Honda will provide $150 reimbursement that does not even cover half of the cost. It should be fixed under warranty at no cost to the owner.
Required premature replacement of rear brake pads with normal use. Rear brakes wore down to sensors after only 22,000 miles. Original front brake pads are still in very good condition.
I have rear brake pads that have worn out after just 19,000 miles driven.
Honda service department told me my brake pads needs to be replaced.I was told specially the rear pads down to 1-2 mm.total estimate was $610.00. I taught this was a joke or a scam at 19000 miles brake pads? Not the way I drive. I did not get it done but later I checked it myself and looks like it needs it.I have been driving over 40 years never replace brakes so soon. Shame on you honda.were these pads made out of cardboard?
I brought my 2009 honda accord in for a regular oil change and was told that my rear brakes need to be replaced. I only have 30,000 miles which a lot of these miles are highway miles. Never with any lease I have had in the past 18 years, did I ever have to replace brakes. The cars were returned within the 36,000 mile allowance. They were not honda leases, however, this was my first honda. Prior leases were cadillac and nissan vehicles.
My mileage is 34,505 I took my car to honda north , danvers they said to go to ins co geico to have repaired. No one wants to take responsibility please help me![xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2009 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to problems with vehicle brakes *tgw the rear rotors were resurfaced and the brake pads were replaced. The second time the consumer returned to the dealer, the problem had worsened. The brake pads and both rear calipers had to be replaced. The consumer stated due to a class action lawsuit concerning the rear brakes, she received half of her money back.
Brake premature wear causing brakes not to work properly,talk to dealer and they say I have brakes fixed and submit to honda and they might reimburse me for the repair is this honda's and the dealers way to make more money. That's why I think we should look at american made cars when we buy from now on . Nothing like the good old u.s.of a. Go ford.
This is the second honda accord that I have bought that had premature brake failure. The first honda accord 1996 had to have new rear brakes and pads at around 20,000 miles. This 2009 honda accord had premature brake failure at 21,085. This is not acceptable!! The bill was 409.24 + tax. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
On the 2009 honda accord at 28,691 the rear brake pads started to smell like a burning smell then it started to make a noise from the back of the car.I sat in the back seat on the way to the vets office when all this occured.I do not drive this car as its my wifes car,she said that she could not hear the noise from the front seat but could smell a wierd ordor.she sometimes carry our frist grandchild in the car and with this happening thank god nothing happened.please do something before the brakes catch fire or go out completely.the calipers I've heard are defective,they freeze up not allowing the inside brake pad release,I can understand this happening.honda knows the problem but to call a full out recall they want to hide this critical safety defect.
Rear brakes squeaks and worn out prematurely at 17,900 miles.
Premature brake wear on rear brakes of honda accord 2009 2.4 liter. Dealer inspection describes rear pads at 3mm. Front brakes ok. This is not normal. The federal safety agency please get honda to recall. Dealer wants 295.00 for rear brake job.
The rear inner brake pads wore down significantly while the rear outer pads had about 3-4mm left. This seemed to be a very premature wear compare to other vehicles I owned over the years.
Had to replace rear brake pads front fine, right rear completely worn down left fine.
Since the first incident I have had a clicking noise coming from the AC on the right side vent on my 2009 honda accord. It is october of 2011 and the dealer has now replaced the same blower motor 3 times. It alleviates the issue, only for it to return. The dealer has no other explanation. Also, I have replaced 2 door actuator motors. This car was bought in december of 2009 and it is october of 2011. I will not buy another honda due to having issues occur repeatedly and so soon after a new purchase. Obviously brakes have to be fixed again and again.
