What owners say
Loud whining noises coming from the rear wheels when the brakes were applied, caused us to have the local honda dealer check the brakes. The rear brake pads were very badly worn through. The car is driven at highway speed approximately 50% of the time, meaning the brakes would not have excessive use. The dealer told us that the type of driving we do and how we drive caused the problem. We have since learned that honda has had two class action law suits about this problem, here is the united states and canada. The settlement does not benefit us since the car was purchased new in july 2009. We have also learned that many drivers must repeatedly replace these brake pads. Since this is a serious safety issue, honda should be held accountable now and in the future.
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.
Brakes making a noise, turned rotors and replaced pads, problem returned in jan.10, rotors turned again, honda said faulty pads was the clause replaced once more, call had less then 4,000 miles on it first time, approx.7000 second, I think rotors should not be milled over once and then rotors replaced ,they will not hear of that. Strange whine coming from bottom right side of transmission or engine, honda claimed service bulletin call for oil pump to be replaced, which they change, no change in the sound plus now there is a leak from where they made repair.
2009 honda accord 4 cyl 1) car whines at 1300 rpms. Very annoying. Honda says that all of them whine and that it is normal. It sounds like a very cheap car instead of a high end honda accord. 2) at low sped and I make a sharp turn, the power steering pulsates. Honda garage said it has a single belt system and that they all persistent like that and it is normal.
Brand new honda accord sedan v6 cylinder automatic transmission. Less than two weeks old, rear brakes howl madly, vibration when braking on firm stops. Dealer turned the rotor-out of round .12mm. Results better for now, but....I wonder how long it will last. Honda has reputation of poor brake system apparently.

- What is wrong
- Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 accord, 2007-2010 cr-v, and 2005-2008 element passenger cars manufactured from july 1, 2004, through september 3, 2010. The outer race of the secondary shaft bearing may be broken during certain driving styles. A broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the malfunction indicator light to turn on, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing within the transmission.
- Risk
- This could result in a short circuit causing the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces of the outer race or ball bearing from the secondary shaft may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the park position. Engine stall and unexpected vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash or personal injury to persons within the path of a rolling vehicle.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners and dealers will update the automatic transmission control module software free of charge. The safety recall began on august 27, 2011. Owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
