Roof moulding prematurely wearing out/damage. Allowing water to seep into seams into headliner near a-beams of passenger and driver side. Water also dripped from headliner and stained it, potentially distracting driver from road. Side airbags potentially exposed to water. Problem was discovered after car was left outside during rain storm allowing water to pool on roof.

Significant rear brake pad wear after only 20,000 miles. Front brake pads still haven't worn 1/4 percent. Rear passenger break wear indicator alarming already. Rear driver side very low too.

Inboard passenger rear brake pad jammed and prematurely worn; driver side rear brake pads ok. Calipers ok. . Dealer had to replace both rear brake sets and resurface the rotors at my expense. Dealer blamed "corrosion"; I blame a honda design defect in their braking system.

In late may 2014 I had the brakes (pads/rotors) replaced on my 2010 honda accord, 2 months later in august, I had brake problems again, - rotors were warped again, managed to get them covered under warranty, - 2 months later 10/31 more brake issues so took them to the dealer (so no after market parts), rotors warped, recommended replacement of rotors and pads, - done, 2 months later in december 2014 back to the dealer (now I've pad for them 2x in 6 months)- replaced the front rotors because they were warped, now, 2 months later in february - back to the dealer again for the 3rd time (1s 2 were not a dealer). This time they were warped, but not as bad - so they machined the rotors because this time I went early, when I first stated noticing it. No one figures out why... So, in total, my brakes have been worked on 5 times in 8 months. The dealer said they had a honda corporate rep take the car for a ride, they were advised there was not a brake problem. But that ride was not till after they machined the rotors, of course there would be no problem - this totally has no logic to even have that done! How many times do I have to have them replaced - under warranty or not, and how much time and money do I have to waste, and before someone tries to figure out why the car is going thru brakes- maybe getting in an accident? In addition to these ongoing brake issue, I've already had to have the 3 pistons rebuilt (under a recall , but I had to fight with the misfire problem for 4 months before they would do anything) and the steering rack replaced (thank god I had 100 miles left on my extended warranty).

Rear brake pads and rotors worn out. Front brake pads had approximately 70 percent wear remaining. Contacted honda customer care and this car was not included, per VIN number, recall for hondas with pre-mature brake pad wear on the rear.

Rear brake pads wear down fast, they require a change at least twice before the front brake pads wear down. Pads show uneven wear, it maybe a caliper defect.

Vehicle driven about 18,000 miles and rear brake pads wore out much faster than usual. Honda service says they are 2mm where fronts are 8mm. Faulty rear pads wearing out faster on the inside (pistons sticking) this inspection done in honda orlando and honda america insists that brake pads are fine despite the rear, where there is least weight wears out faster than front, where the most weight is ! I am not the only one complaining about it. Make sure yo get your brakes inspected before you buy any honda's cause they are not helpful at all. If this is happening to you, you are on your own. I made multiple calls to different service centers and honda america. They just simply don't care. They got great customer service until you buy a vehicle form them. Once you have a problem (even on a honda certified vehicle) you are on your own. Make sure you do not buy honda breaks if you replace them with your budget cause you will keep replacing them soon again. Clearly there is a problem and honda america has been ignoring it. I tried to explain on the phone again after talking to honda service. I passed the information to honda america. They are like; your vehicle is certified but we are not going to replace your brake pads. Never heard of a rear brake pads go our before the front.

1. I believe the rear brake system on 2010 accord has a design flaw that causes the inboard rear brake pads to wear unevenly and to wear faster than the outboard pads. 2. The rear brake pads have had to be replaced twice since I purchased this vehicle new, on october 7, 2009: the first replacement was on september 2, 2011 at 36,365 miles and the second replacement was on march 12, 2013 at 67,699 miles. 3. March 12, 2013 pad replacement. The inboard pads on both sides are worn down far more than the outboard pads. Also, the inboard pads are worn unevenly: one of the inboard pads has 2 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 3 mm left on the other end, the other inboard pad has 1 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 2 mm of pad left on the other end. The outboard pads are worn evenly and both have 5-6 mm of pad remaining. 4. This is just not right! Both inboard and outboard should wear evenly and at the same rate and give more than 31,000 36,000 miles of useful service. 5. I believe there is a design flaw with the caliper and/or the caliper mechanism and the embedded parking brake mechanism. Perhaps the design of the parking brake mechanism sometimes allows it to not release properly? My fear is that this design flaw will cause the rear brakes to malfunction while driving. 6. Genuine honda parts were installed with both rear brake pad replacements and the front brake pad replacement. This vehicle has a normal mix of highway and town driving and very little stop-n-go city driving. Neither my wife nor I ride the brakes. I believe normal wear, considering our driving habits, for the rear brakes is 50,000-60,000 miles.

At around 25k miles, my honda accord began making loud screeching noises. After taking it to the repair shop, they said that my rear brakes were gone and needed to be replaced. This is completely ridiculous for the mileage I have driven. I did some research and found that many other people are having the same exact issue with premature wear in their rear brakes. In fact, there was a honda settlement for '08-'09 accords (and a few '10s) where they gave partial reimbursements for brake replacements. However, honda refuses to admit any wrongdoing and claims that this issue has been resolved in all vehicles thereafter. This is obviously a lie and they need to take responsibility for this continuing design failure. They need to pay for brake pad replacements and/or truly offer a fix for what causes the premature wear.

At 42k miles, brake wear indicator began to indicate premature wear on left rear wheel. I know this was a problem with 2008-2009 and some 2010 models, figured it should have been fixed when I received mine.
