Front brakes and rotors had to be replaced because they warped really early. Back brakes and rotors had to be replaced also because of noise sounding like scrapping.
2018 Honda Accord brakes complaints
Page 6 of 10: complaints 131 to 160 of 260, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving on I-65 at 70mph (my cruise was set along with acc and lkas). System worked with no issues for ~200 miles. When this happened, the car in front of me slowed down, and my car started slowing down as well. Out of the blue, as I got closer, I got this error in my dash, collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer. It took a second for me to realize that my car was no longer slowing down. Fortunately I still had enough distance to press on my brakes before hitting the back of the car in front of me.
Rear brake pads are wearing out way faster than the front. Seems it is some type of manufacturing defect. I found out many other owners of this model have the same issue and was informed if enough people file this complaint, they may offer a remedy or recall to correct this issue.
The ads breaking error comes on and the car won't start- this is the 3rd time and is a constant problem for this year- the steering wheel locks up this is very dangerous. This has happened moving and stationary. Honda says it is a simple error my car has less that 30k miles n this is a constant issue
The 2018 accords have a system called "brake hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The brake hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the brake hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the brake system is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the collision mitigation system delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the brake hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later honda models, honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance.

Car will apply brakes for no reason,, was driving at high speeds with nothing in front of me and brakes will apply on the highway and car would stop.
Passenger rear brake pad on caliper side is worn to wear indicator. All other pads front and rear are normal. Caliper appears to be faulty as it was locked into position against rotor and only that pad was worn
The brake rotors corrode prematurely. The vehicle was purchased in january 2018 and the rotors were replaced in november 2019 with 18,000 miles of use. The replacement rotors - genuine honda installed by dealer - are corroding and will need to be replaced. Mileage is now 23,000. The vehicle is kept in a garage.

On two occasions when parked and in accessory mode for a few minutes all dashboard and exterior lights began flashing wildly and brake system failure warning appeared. On both occasions the engine would not start. After exiting the car and returning later, the car started as normal.
A few months I started have a problem withe the my car .I let my car for short time like less than one hour with the emergency lights on ..but the engine was off (the car was stationary). So when I was about to leave from the place where I were I star the engine and it didn't work and all the light go on like crazy and 3 message showed on the screen that said it was safety to drive and there's a problem with the break system problem , anti-break system problem and tire pressure monitor system. So I called the dealer and they told me that maybe it was something wrong with the battery so they told to turn off and turn the engine on again and they told me that he drives it for a certain time and all the lights on the dash go out and since maybe it was because of the high temperatures we had. But it was like that I mean the car is still running "good" but I'm not fell safety .I already took the the dealer where I bought and first time they didn't do anything because all the light go out so they said they didn't found anything so the second time the happened the same thing I recorded a video and photos so I show them an the way the star doing a full check of everything so they didn't found any thing and still appears those 3 message a when I star the engine not all the time but they didn't fixed anything and they don't want to change for r another car ..I dont know what to do
On 10/29/2020, while changing lanes, the vehicle abruptly cut the power and slammed the brakes, while flashing "brake" on the instrument panel. There were no vehicle in close proximity in the lane in to which the change was performed. The radar sensor on the vehicle has previously cause a number of issues and this was an extreme case of the cmbs (collision mitigation brake system) reacting improperly. The vehicle deceleration was abrupt to the point of potentially causing the incoming traffic in the new lane impacting the vehicle from behind. Honda's representatives had sworn last winter, when the radar sensor had malfunctioned to the point of causing a catastrophic failure that cascaded to several of the vehicle's safety systems that "issues would not happen again." that was a lie. Currently, there is a class action lawsuit against honda related to the safety system in the cr-v models: https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2020/honda-cr-v-sensing-lawsuit-suvs-suddenly-stop.shtml considering that the similar radar sensors are used in the pilot, odyssey, accord and the cr-vs, an investigation and a recall should be launched for the majority of honda model produced since 2016. Again, the system has malfunctioned a number of times, with honda failing to address the issue properly upon several complaints and visits to a dealer.
This is the third time driving and had the vehicle automatic brakes come on and stop it self. Each time 1 month apart. August 24th 2020 took into mislin honda in modesto because rear brakes were also making noise. Found out right rear inner pad was completely worn. Mentioned also the auto breaking issue and was told it was a due to the known brake caliper issue. Caliper and brake pad were replaced and was told sensors were reset and should fix auto braking problem. Returned a month later because of rear brake noise again was told brakes were lubed and rotors resurfaced. Tonight again while driving going 40mph no cars in sight vehicle brake message came on and brakes slammed on causing our dog to go flying inside of car. Car is at 35950 miles 2018 and close to being out of warranty feels very unsafe to drive
Grinding of rear brakes when driving. Took to dealer and they determined 1 of 4 rear inner brake pads was worn. Researched online and found several other complaints in 2020 for the same issue. Dealer treated symptom by replacing worn pad
2018 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to unintended vehicle rollaway. *ld the consumer stated while the vehicle was off and in park it began to roll away backwards almost striking the driver.
Every time I try to disengage the parking break it shows a warning that the brake systems is failing.

Its very unusual this happen to a rear rotor and brakes .usually front first but yes this is just a note to all 20's honda to be aware of buying this type of car. Please help every one so consumer are be protected to these ripoff. Thank you be safe out there.
2018 accord randomly and automatically brakes hard when no obvious hazard is around. The acc will turn off and error is displayed saying see your dealer. When the car is turned off it resets and acc is running again. I am getting very nervous driving this car on highways.
On at least 3 occasions while driving on a city street the the automatic brake system kicks on and will violently stop the car in the middle of the road. Each time there has been no vehicle in front of me or even near me that would cause this to occur. Additionally, each time I was not going any faster than 45-50 mile per hour. The last time this happened the car behind me nearly rear-ended me but avoided an accident by quickly shifting over to the next lane. This action of course caused a potential road rage exchange because the driver had no idea my car had malfunctioned.
Most recently,I was dropping off a friend. With my car running and in park. The dash board lit up with many warnings lka,mitigation, the brake defective.(see dealer immediately) I could not drive the car. The next morning (sunday) back to normal. L monday morning I'm at the honda dealer, counting two other electrical problemsthis makes the third time they have told me they can not find codes or replicate the problem come get it. I told them I was tired of driving a dangerous and unreliable car. I bought for 40000.dec21,2017,it has223?? Miles and g.m. Offered me21800. For car(without taxes)
Rear breaks wear out only after 14,000 miles. Purchased car brand new and rear breaks did not last more than 14,000 miles. I am very gentle driver and expect to rear breaks to last at least 24,000 or more.
While driving down the highway my car just brakes. It doesn't come to a complete stop but it is dangerous. If I don't put on my turn signal before I start to change lanes it will brake. It doesn't do it all the time but it has started doing it more frequently.
It does it own braking at night when its getting dark or when .im going through a green light stopplng me from a speed of 45 to down to 20-25 in a splint second almost getting me rear -ended the dash board will light up brake -brake in red an car shakes its happend 3 times maybe more took it to dealership they found nothing wrong went on car complaint site an theres tons of people having this same problem im only leasing this car im finding its more of a deathtrap
Only the rear brake pads have completely depleted without any of the other ones being close to depleting. Rotor is now grinding on metal backing plate of pad. Car has been in normal use for 70,000 mi.
This car almost killed me on highway while driving 70 miles/h it decided to tap breaks by itself(slow down) the gas pedal would not respond it was not any car in front of me.I took it to a dealer they restarted the system said everything it's fine now but did not fixed the problem the same day I had the same issue with it.I don't feel safe driving in it.
I was driving on express way on 7/5/19 early morning. The car shake and slow down all of the sudden. I would be killed if there's a car behine me. I pulled to the curb, and try to restart the car and go, but it keeps shakung in the beginning. So I called honda for tow truck, that a leased car. But later I tried again, it seems the car could go, so I drove home. Check engine light was on for few days, and the transmission couldn't shift smoothly since then. Looks like a lemon. Only 9000 miles on the car. I have more pictures about the problem but the system won't allow me to upload more than 5
On january 4th while traveling home my accord was set in cruise control and out of the blue hit the brakes on it's own with no one around me. I brushed it off but about 20 miles or so down the road it did it again except thus te was next to a diesel and not only did brake on its on it also responded as if I was out my lane and began to to turn my car into the diesel I was able to keep the car from crashing and the the cruise control went out and I began to get a message the there was an issue with the braking mechanism. I was worried about driving the remainder of of my trip but I was an hour and half away from home so traveled on home check my brakes constantly. This experience has my wife and I rattled. I took my car in on the 6th to topeka honda and explained what happened and that the car tried to kill me and my wife by trying to run us into a diesel truck and how it was braking on its own and the took and looked at it . The dealership called me back a stated"there was some gunk on your censor and that cause this to happen and they cleaned it off it was fine" but if the censor is on the front off the csr and gunk makes it not work surely this will happen again. I no longer feel safe nor will I allow my wife to operate this vehicle.
