Brakes wear out and develop hot spots. Had to replace either brake pads or rotors often. Honda doesn't admit it as their problem and making me pay for each of these incidents costing me a fortune. Unfortunately, my VIN is not on the settlement reached. Each time I go to dealer with brake problems, he re-surfaces rotors causing additional wear.
2010 Honda Accord brakes complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 131, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased my 2010 honda accord in oct 2010; I brought my car back to dealer 3 times for the same problem, excessive vibration during braking. Dealer re-surfaced the first 2 times, replaced rotor the third time. However, after 7k miles, the problem came back again.
Multiple times I will press on my brakes and my car will attempt to accelerate. I have to completely press my brakes in to get the car to decrease in speed but it will sound like it is stalling and make a rumbling sound. I had the recall done. It seemed to work for a short period of time (3 mths) and now it's back to doing the same thing. I went to the dealership today to only find out now I need to get my brakes replaced at a little less than 35k on my car and the front brakes have no wear. I also was told that the recall was not for that.
Investigated a scraping sound coming from right rear wheel found brake pads worn down to bare backing,examined front pads and found them to be still in like new condition.
Rear brake pads worn right into the rotors. Stopping distance longer than usual.vehicle struck curb before I was able to stop it.
Had to replace rear brakes at 21,837 miles costing $212.81. My VIN not part of settlement but there is obviously still an issue with honda brakes. Would like to be informed of any investigations or lawsuits. I am seeing many complaints on this site with no defect investigations?
Brake pads at 23,700 miles completely worn and needed to be replaced along with rotors.
I had just dropped my child off at school and was in line to leave the school parking lot. I was very slowly moving forward as cars would leave. I was moving slowly when all of a sudden my car quickly accelerated and would not stop regardless of me hitting the brakes. I ended up hitting the car in front of me. This all happened so fast. No injuries but very scary.
Rear brakes on 2010 honda accord are almost "metal on metal". This should not take place with a car that is less than 2 years old with only 17,500 miles.
I took my car for a regular service at the dch academy honda and the service dealer told me that I need to replace rear brakes. It was very surprising that at 22k miles the rear brakes have gone. He told me about the complaint filed for the 2008-2009 and some 2010 models. I filed the complaint and found out that my VIN is not eligible for a reimbursement. I believe they should consider all the 2010 models. I dont know what is the criteria honda has to indentify faulty brakes. Clearly, honda has flaw in keeping track of thier inventory or they are not willing to acknoloege cusoter complains and act on the informaiton.
When I took the car for servicing to the open road honda (rt 1s) in nj, they told me that the wear and tear on the rear brake pad is heavy and it needs to be replaced. I drove the car mostly highways during my previous job for most of the miles and I didn't even apply much brakes and now the dealer is saying that the rear brake pad is gone and it needs to be replaced. However the front pad is as good as new. How can it be. I came to know that there is a class action suit with honda on this subject, but it seems they're covering only a certain few VIN number, this is total absurdity, if the braking system is failing for any / all models of honda, it should be considered.
I went to a local sears automotive service center after I'd heard squeaking coming from the rear of my vehicle. A co-worker told me it sounded like a problem with my brakes and that I should have them checked. The mechanic showed me the brake pads that came from the rear brakes of my car--there was no padding left! Another mechanic advised me that he'd seen a lot of hondas come in a similar condition--front brake pads showing some wear and rear brake pads with almost no padding remaining. He advised me to call honda and ask about recalls. I called the local honda dealership and was advised to visit this website: www.accordsettlement.com. I called for assistance because it didn't appear that my VIN was included. I contacted [xxx] llp, who said they couldn't assist me because my car was not affected by the class action lawsuit. I think that this braking issue should be further investigated--it appears that it affects more than just the first nine 2010 models produced (as [xxx]claims), as I'm experiencing similar problems to other accord owners. Brakes are a very component of one's vehicle! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. The contact stated that he could hear a grinding noise coming from the rear brakes when braking at approximately 5 MPH. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
The rear brakes on my honda accord have worn out prematurely. After just over a year of owning my car I already need to replace the rear brake pads. The honda dealer did not seem surprised when I brought my car in with this problem and then after some searching I found the class action lawsuit that was settled on the 2008 accords for the same problem: http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/daily-news/100408-honda-settles-lawsuit-over-accord-brakes/. Honda is clearly aware of this issue, and they should be held responsible for it, and fix this problem. I am very disappointed that I will be having to take my car in for new brake pads 2 to 3 times more often than any other car I could have bought. I chose honda for its reliability and now I am being let down.
Rear pads worn at such low mileage. Class action suit was filed but my car not included. It should have been because there are a lot of owners who had the same problem. Perhaps the government should look into this. I think the problem is more than honda will admit to.
Needed rear brakes at 21,189 miles.
Premature wear brakes, both front and rear, excessive noise.
2010 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to issues with brakes *tgw the consumer stated the vehicle has been in the repair shop five times. The consumer stated there was a noise coming from the rear brakes as well as a burning type odor coming from the right rear of the vehicle. When the brake pedal was engaged, a vibration was felt coming from the rear of the vehicle as well as a loud noise, grinding and rubbing.
2010 honda accord. Consumer states brake failure *tgw the consumer stated the vsa light illuminated due to a problem with the calipers and the brakes. Also, there was a strange noise coming from the vehicle. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
The rear brake pads were worn down and had to be replaced after only 13,900 miles.
My 2010 honda accord experienced premature rear brake wear and I paid to have the brakes replaced at only 22,837 miles. There was a class action lawsuit and settlement for the 2008 and 2009 model years (and only a handful of vins for the 2010 model year which does not include mine). I thought that honda had fixed the problem and that improved pads were being installed but apparently not since the 2010 model year still seems to be experiencing this problem.
My car is currently in for inspection with ~16,000 miles. I was just told by honda that I need new rear brakes. It is going to cost me $210 to have the replaced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. The contact stated that the rear brakes failed twice in less than one year and a half. The rear brake pads were originally replaced at 11,000 miles and had to be replaced every six months afterward. The front brakes had yet to need replacing. The failure mileage was 11,000 and the current mileage was 21,000.
Went into my honda dealer for an oil change and tire rotation and was notified that my rear brakes in my 2010 honda accord were shot at 14,805 miles. Never in my entire driving career have I ever experienced this and I am 65 years old. Evidently there has been a problem and consumers have not been notified. Waiting for a call from honda and will be checking into this further. There is a class action lawsuit against honda regarding this.
Rear brake pads wore out on new 2010 accord at 25,000 miles. I was told that the cost to repair them would be reimbursed, however, when I submitted my claim, I was told my VIN number did not match up and they were not going to reimburse me. 2008-2009 and some 2010 accords are included in honda settlement for faulty rear brake pads....I think they should have included all 2010 accords as the problem has not been resolved. Rear brake pads should not go out at 25,000 miles. Pathetic honda. We will think twice before buying another honda.
Car had rear 2mm and 7.5mm front. Send my letter to get refund from honda. But honda claim the VIN on my car was not defective so they do not pay for my brakes. Send a second letter still waiting for honda to reply.
At 18,000 miles the car rear brakes started to squeak when applying the brakes for awhile the problem would disappear but the car would shudder when coming to a complete stop, now when I drive the squeaking noise continues as I drive and doesn't go away this afternoon sept. 2, 2010 I have appointment to fix this issue.
Honda accord ls 2010 brakes out of nowhere started to make hissing sound. Pulled car over to determine reason and determined it only made sound when pressing brake pedal. The car had less than 15000 miles on it and therefore was shocked by sound. Honda has created a premature brake issue and must be held accountable .
At 18,000 miles the car brakes started to squeak but after a few miles it stopped squeaking. At 19,000 miles my car started to shake a bit when I applied the breaks and it then continued to squeak every time I applied the brakes. On 8/20 I brought my vehicle in to have the brakes done at pepboys and they told me my rear brakes had gone through the pad and was tearing into the rotor. My accord only has ~25,000 miles on it and the front brakes are fine.
Rear brakes needed to be replaced at 19000 miles. Dealership told me that is expected for my make and model.
