On july 16th I left my 2009 honda accord in to my trusted mechanic for my annual new york state safety inspection with instructions to fix anything he finds wrong in order to meet the requirements, so when I returned from out of town, I could pick it up and it would be legal and safe. I was quite surprised to find that the rear brakes were worn to the point where new pads were needed for it to pass, which he replaced as directed. Since it only has 23,400 miles on it, a lot of that highway driving, I called honda and found that there is a class action lawsuit for this very problem, although I was never notified. When I looked on the suggested website, accordsettlement.com, I read where you had to have had the brakes replaced with honda brake pads in order to receive compensation for the premature wear, although I cannot imagine anyone wanting to replace with another bad set of pads and have this reoccur. Somehow, someone should direct other accords (08 & 09) to this website so that they can be sure to know the conditions that must be met to satisfy honda's requirements for such compensation.
2009 Honda Accord brakes complaints

2009 honda accord- the car had 200 miles on it and the cvb boot with all the brake fluid broke making the car unsafe to drive. Had to argue to dealer to get it fixed. The car now has 11,900 miles and the brakes squeal, took to the dealer informed half of the rear brakes are gone and that the squealing canbe from the weather. This was suppose to be a new car. There is a class action suit against honda due to the brakes wearing out prematurely but the consumer has to pay first to have them repaired . Someone needs to look into the safety of honda accord braking system for 2008 and 2009 models.
It is unbelievable. Own a new 2009 accord, rear brake pads gone after 15,000 miles. I am told by the dealership I need to change every 10,000 miles to be safe, this is unconscionable and fraudulent. Where has honda quality control gone?
I purchased a 2009 honda accord on october 27th, 2010 at 227 miles. I have not had an issues until this month when my brakes began to ware prematurely at only 11k miles. I had revived a class action letter informing me of this but see it as a clear safety violation on honda's part one as they had know there was an issue with this type of model and two as they refuse to perform work and replace the item with issues under warranty. I find it irresponsible that honda is making me pay for repairs when they know its there design flaw.
2009 honda accord. Consumer states vehicle has major defects in the rear brakes *tgw the consumer stated the front brakes pulsated when traveling on a hill in his area. The dealer replaced the front brake pads.
2009 honda accord. Consumer states a problem with the ABS and squealing fan belt *tgw the consumer stated he encountered a vehicle attempting to cross two lanes of traffic abruptly and without warning. He narrowly avoided a collision, but in the process his vehicle went in a right hand skid with the tires screeching. It became apparent that the anti-lock brakes did not function, no pulsating occurred as he had experienced in previously owned vehicles. The dealer stated the belt was squealing due to it getting wet from the rain.
2009 honda accords have been recognized to wear prematurely because of caliper pins that were installed incorrectly at the factory. Honda has a court hearing on this and you can see more info on www.accordsettlement.com. The consumer who purchased or leased one of these cars will be reimbursed $100 - $150 to replace the pads, but the general price to do this at the authorized honda service centers is sometimes double that. The consumer is being ripped off, and the federal safety agency should step in and rectify this.
2009 honda accord coupe v6 - front brakes were replaced at approx 12,000 due to defective parts. Rear brakes need to be replaced at approx. 19,000 miles. Honda is refusing to provide any warranty repair and refuses to acknowledge a problem with its brakes.
2009 honda accord completely worn out rear brake system. It was purchased just over a year ago with 20,000 miles on it. I do mostly highway driving and this is premature. Rear brakes must be replaced.
I had my 2009 honda accord in for service and was told the rear brakes needed replacement. I have only 25,000 mile on it. It was not covered by the warranty, but I was told there is a class action lawsuit pending against honda. This is a major safety issue and a recall should be made.
Intermittent scraping sound from rear of 2009 accord lx-p <20,000 mi. Increased frequency over time. Took to the dealer where purchased who replaced both rear brake pads (old parts not available) and resurfaced both rear rotors for a cost of $250 - declaired not covered by warranty. Internet research and notification of a class action lawsuit for this rear brake failure indicates this is a common problem for specific honda and accura models. I contend that honda is aware of this problem since they have devised (but not delivered to dealers as yet) a replacement set of brake pads. Also this is indeed a safety problem since both rear brake pads were at zero pad life remaining and rotors were damaged per the dealer service techs. That means to me that my accord had only 1/2 the designed braking ability which was engineered for this car - making the car unsafe in any emergency braking situation.
The rear brakes of my honda accord 2009 began making a terrible scraping noise. Honda claimed I had left the parking brake on while I drove it. I had never used the parking brake. I had driven 20,000 highway miles on the vehicle. I do not think I wore out the rear brakes. It was repaired 5/24/2010. The following day, I rec.'d a notice of a class action suit against honda for rear brakes. Why is honda not repairing the brakes for free?
I was coming out of my driveway. I hit my brakes and my car would not stop. I hit a parked car across the street.
Upon leasing a 2009 honda accord I noticed an audible squeaking sound emitted by both rear brakes. This sound is clearly heard when brakes are applied and vehicle's speed is below 25 miles per hour. I returned to dealer and was reassured that this was normal for new brakes on honda accords and that over time the sound would stop. At this point, the car was at less than 1,000 miles. I currently have 22,000 miles on the car and I was informed that the rear brakes are worn to 2 mms. Similarly front brakes are prematurely worn and are measured at 6 mms. After researching the issue online I have found thousands of other customers who are experiencing an identical problem with the 2008-2009 honda accord braking system. Honda is offering a replacement of rear brakes, but cannot guarantee whether this will solve the issue.
Premature brake wear.
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 honda accord. Upon taking the vehicle in for routine service, the contact was informed that his rear brakes needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle had been experiencing recurring brake issues since the purchase. The vehicle experienced increased stopping distance and also wobbled when the brakes were applied. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure and current mileages were approximately 20,000.
Rear brake pads worn out at 24,000 miles while front pads are fine. Service bulletin 09-096 proves honda is aware of the problem but insists on charging me for replacement pads pending the class action lawsuit settlement.
I needed to change the rear brake pad of my 2009 honda accord which only has 20,000 miles. The front brake pad was fine. Clearly this is a defective design or manufacturing fault. Honda needs to recall the car to fix the brake problem.
Purchased a 2009 honda accord full loaded. After 18 thousand miles, I needed to change the rear brakes. According to dealer it was a defect on the pads and that is why I ran with the problem. I saw online all the complaints on the same issue and is incredible, I believe the 2008 and 21009 should be recall on all brakes since it looks like people are changing their brakes every 7-8 month and honda is not doing anything about fixing the problem. I had to pay for my brakes and had such a big problem addressing it to the manager at honda mission valley, he keeps saying that is no the dealers problem, but once I send him the link with all the problems people have on their brakes, he said nothing else. I am concern on my family and my self safety. How many times would I have to change in a year my brakes. Is that something normal? I don't think so. Please let people know the problem that all hondas are having right now. Something needs to be done. Is not fair that we pay thousands of dollars and before 1 year old of purchasing the car, now I am having problems with brakes, accessories inside the car and tire pressure. One of my tires leak tat I have to put air every month. I am very disappointed on how honda handles the issue. I trusted their opinion and what do I get a piece of crap. This will be the last time I will purchase a honda, I have had the worse experience. I will love for someone to really investigate the problem on the rear brakes , on why they ran out so quickly .
My fiance' purchased a 2009 honda accord ex 4 door sedan. She complained about a month ago that she started hearing a high pitched squeal coming from the rear. She had about 19k miles on it so I was bewildered what it could be saying it can't be brakes so it must be a bearing problem. I took it to the dealer, where he reported I needed brakes. He said "honda admits they might have an engineering problem with the brakes with premature failure, but won't admit it." service rep stated that the pads especially in the rear are far too small to handle the weight of the car so they wear especially faster than other vehicles. He stated they did a modification by adding a steel sensor so the owner knows when they are getting low. He wouldn't admit that before the modification, there were no sensors on the brakes people would be metal to metal and not know it because of the extremely low miles of wear. Online reports put brake failures for this model starting from 2008 anywhere from 14k to 21k. See your own site here: http://www.lemonlawclaims.com/honda%20accord%20brake%20problem.htm question is: in acknowledgement of toyota's current safety issues, when are you going to call honda front and center to address their cavalier attitude to this issue? Honda's catatonic movement addressing this issue implies they are more concerned with revenue for repairs than safety for it's owners. This is going on now for 2 model years! When I left the dealer, I still heard a squeal when I hit the brakes. I went back and took the technician who did the brakes for a test drive. He said I needed the front's replaced too. That is over $400 for brakes and the car is only 1 year old. Once again, honda is more concerned over repair revenue than passenger safety. How many people have died from brake failure in late model hondas? Fyi: there was another woman waiting in the dealer lounge with me... Her 2009 accord had 19k miles and she was told she needed brakes on all 4 wheels.

Complete rear disc brake failure on a honda accord 2009 with approximately 20,000 miles. Replaced rotors and brake pads by a firestone repair shop, as dealer was not open on a saturday.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 55 MPH and applying the brake, she could smell a burning odor and the vehicle was making an unusual noise. She confirmed the brake pedal would periodically stick to the floor board. The vehicle had been to the dealer twice for the failure. The dealer replaced the brakes on both occasions. The failure persisted. The approximate failure mileage was 300 and the approximate current mileage was 35,000.
Premature brake wear on 2009 honda accord v6. Brakes have squealed every time vehicle is driven (since about 5k miles). On 3/20/10 after routine service, I was told vehicle needed rear brakes (disks) at 19,203 k miles. I subsequently did checking on edmunds.com and it appears this is not an isolated incident. Also, I visited an acura dealer's service center to see if the acura tsx had similar issues - it does.
Brakes on front have been replace 2 times by turning rotors twice and second time pads replaced the fear is now there is a weakness in the rotors and they could fail during a panic stop,also there is a whine in power steering which honda of america admits to but claim they do not have a fix for,they say it is not a safety issue but have do they know that the power steering could cease working at any time since that the whining is not the normal sound of the accords up to late 08 and all the 09 accord 4 cyl.
2009 honda accord ex-l 4 cyl. Rear brakes worn at 18,000 miles.
Purchased 2009 honda accord in oct. 2008. At around 15k miles, the brakes staring squeaking and making loud noise in the rear brakes. I thought it was something loose back there and kept driving. Then around 24k miles the noise came back and was unbearable. Took to dealership complained brakes wore out too quickly. Said it was normal wear and tear and I had to replace brake pads and resurface rotors. Paid $130.00, dealer gave free pads, but made me pay to resurface rotors. Told me the front brakes will have to be replaced soon cause car shakes when braking, rotors need immediate resurfacing. If I didn't take in asap, this could of cause an accident due to me being out of town when problems starting to occur.
I own a 2009 honda accord . It was purchased around october 2008. On january 21, 2010, it was taken to our local honda dealer due to squealing brakes. The dealer reported that the rear brakes were worn and the pads needed to be replaced even though there is only 12,901 miles of use on the car. According to the dealer, this has been a common problem with 2008 and 2009 model accords because the rear brakes were reduced in size even though more of the car's braking power was shifted to the rear axle. The dealer stated that many recent honda accords were needing rear brake pads replaced within one year and in as few as 7000 miles of use. As a "goodwill" gesture, the dealer agreed to replace the brakes for free. I then contacted honda's corporate customer service center in torrance california and was informed that honda is aware of this issue, but does not consider it a safety matter and has not issued a service bulletin regarding this issue. I believe the matter is a safety issue as few drivers would assume that their rear brakes might need to be replaced annually or after as few as 10,000 miles of use or less. By way of comparison, my 2004 honda accord has over 92,000 miles and the brakes are still original. I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this issue promptly before a driver hits the brakes in a honda accord and discovers little or no brake power due to the unexpectedly few miles such brakes work before needing to be replaced.
Brakes squeal loudly on 2009 honda accord coupe (v6) since purchased new in september 2008. All four brake pads have been replaced and all four rotors have been shaved twice with no effect. Rear brakes are also wearing out prematurely, new pads are almost gone with less than 14,000 miles on car. Was told by the dealer service garage that honda is aware of the problem but they instructed dealer not to do any more repairs on the car. That was in 2008 and all through 2009 and no repair is in sight. Because of the constant squealing sound, there is absolutely no way to tell when brakes are worn out and they are clearly wearing out prematurely. This seems to me that this would have to constitute a safety issue.
Brakes on 2009 honda accord started periodic vibration at 5,000 miles. At 10,600 miles the rear pads were completely worn out and braking on a steep hill was compromised. An online search indicated that there are numerous complaints about the brakes on this auto.
