2009 HONDA ACCORD Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken for an alignment. While performing the alignment, the parking brake activated independently. After the service was completed, the contact disengaged the parking brake and noticed that the vehicle seemed a bit more difficult than normal to steer. The contact pulled over, stopped, and became aware that the rear rotors were overheated and turning red. The contact stated that the parking brake was still activated even though the instrument panel had indicated that the parking brake was disengaged. The contact turned off the vehicle until the vehicle had cooled off and then returned home with the vehicle. Once the contact was home and the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the parking brake was still engaged even after disengaging the parking brake. The contact stated that the brakes were still overheated. The contact also noticed that the brake pads had started to fracture from the overheating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

Mileage: 128,000

VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSUMING OIL SINCE PURCHASED WITH 9,500 MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO FOULED SPARK PLUGS. FOULED SPARK PLUGS TRIGGERED "CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE" CODE AND EXTREMELY POOR PERFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE CAR EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT CYLINDER MISFIRE ISSUES. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATES ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. IF THE CONSUMER IS NOT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE IS USING OIL, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THE ENGINE TO SEIZE CAUSING COSTLY REPAIRS OR TO LOSE POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER IS NOW PERFORMING HONDA OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ACCORDING TO HONDA, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. THIS BURNED OIL IS BEING RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS EVIDENCED BY THE BLACK CARBON ON THE TAIL PIPES. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A LEADING CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD DEEM OIL CONSUMPTION IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AS NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE OUT OF 12 THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED THAT CONSUMED OIL. EVEN VEHICLES WITH OVER 200,000 MILES DID NOT CONSUME OIL. I PURCHASED A HONDA SO THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RELIABILITY OR BREAK DOWNS FOR MANY YEARS. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY WITH CHECKING THE OIL EVERY WEEK AS TO NOT GET LOW OR RUN OUT. SAME VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST HONDA OVER THE PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES.

MY '09 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING BRAKE NOISES AT UNDER 20K MILES. UPON TAKING IN THE FIRST TIME AT 22K MILES I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACING ALREADY. AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING (BECAUSE BRAKES AREN'T USUALLY A WARRANTY ITEM, AND THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT) THEY DID REPAIR AND REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. 1 YEAR LATER I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SHIMMY WHEN BRAKING ON THE FREEWAY OR ESPECIALLY ON A HILL, AND WAS TOLD THEN THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE NOW MAGICALLY "WARPED". I DEALT WITH IT FOR A WHILE, BUT THEN RECENTLY BEGAN HEARING THE METAL ON METAL SOUND OF THE REAR PADS GOING OUT AGAIN. SURE ENOUGH, UPON TAKING TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, IT DOES IN FACT NOW NEED REAR PADS AGAIN AT 46K MILES, AS WELL AS FRONT ROTOR RESURFACING....WHICH NOW I'M ALSO TOLD YOU CAN'T USE THE FRONT PADS ANYMORE WHEN YOU RESURFACE THE ROTORS. SO ESSENTIALLY, I'M REPLACING BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES(REAR BRAKES FOR THE SECOND TIME), AND RESURFACING FOR THE SECOND TIME AT ONLY 46K MILES. NATURALLY, THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT PEOPLE DON'T CARE AND WON'T COVER ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A WELL KNOWN HONDA DEFECT. SORRY HONDA, BUT YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER WHO HAS OWNED 4 HONDAS UP TO THIS POINT. *TR

HONDA SEEMS READY TO WASH THEIR HANDS OF THE SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR ROTOR REPLACEMENT, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER INDICATED. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $337. NOT HAPPY AND THE SECOND PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ON A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM (FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WENT AND WERE REPLACED BY HONDA AT ABOUT 20,000 MI).

TO FIND OUT THAT MONTH EARLIER I HAD AN ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP EVEN WITH TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT MY BRAKES LOCKED UP DUE TO MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF THE ONBOARD BRAKING SYSTEM. I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR. THE PARTS ON THE CAR WERE DEFECTIVE.

WE OWN A 2009 ACCORD WITH 24,000 MILES. AT OUR FIRST OIL CHANGE, MY HUSBAND ASKED THE HONDA ANNAPOLIS DEALER ABOUT A CARD WE HAD RECEIVED REGARDING A BRAKE PAD CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. THE DEALER SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT; IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT FOR FREE. OUR BRAKES ARE NOW MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND THE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY HUSBAND STOPPED IN AND TALKED TO THE SAME PERSON IN THE DEALERSHIP, [XXX], WHO SAID THE REPAIR WOULD COST $230, AND WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED THROUGH THE CLASS-ACTION. HE DID NOT MENTION THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT IS $150 AT BEST. SO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN MISINFORMATION BY THIS HONDA DEALERSHIP. I CALLED HONDA ANNAPOLIS AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], WHOSE ATTITUDE IS BEST SUMMED UP BY HIS STATEMENT, "I DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED." HE SAID THAT THE CUSTOMERS AND LAWYERS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM BY BRINGING A LAWSUIT. HE ALSO STATED, "WE DON'T MAKE THE CARS HERE," AND SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE. ALTHOUGH MY HUSBAND HAD JUST SPOKEN TO [XXX] IN PERSON, WHO THEN SPOKE TO [XXX], HE ACTED AS THOUGH HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I SEE THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PADS ALSO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY AND CAUSE OTHER DAMAGE. WHAT A DISGRACE. I CONTACTED THE CLASS-ACTION LAW FIRMS AND GOT A CALL FROM SOMEONE AT GIBBS. SHE SAID IT HAS TO BE AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT PART IN ORDER TO BE REIMBURSED; THE PART COSTS $66 AND WITH LABOR THE CHARGE SHOULD BE AROUND $150. I ASKED HOW IT IS THAT HONDA CAN CHARGE $230; SHE SAID THEY CAN'T MONITOR THAT. GOOD BUSINESS SENSE, AS WELL AS COMMON DECENCY, DICTATES THAT HONDA CAUSED THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD PAY IN FULL TO RESOLVE IT. HONDA DEALERS SHOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS, AT NO CHARGE TO CONSUMERS, AND APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT THEMSELVES. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR DEALERS TO GIVE CUSTOMERS FALSE INFORMATION AND MAKE US JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GET REIMBURSED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF

I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. AT AROUND 25000 MILES I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEELS. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR TOLD ME MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I STATED THERE MUST BE SOME DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR BRAKES BECAUSE THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING THAT SOON AND THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND CHARGED ME THE FULL PRICE OF MORE THAN $250 FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY ADMITTED THE NEW BRAKE PADS WERE "A LONGER LASTING MATERIAL". I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WELL-DOCUMENTED DEFICIENCY IN 2008-2009 ACCORD BRAKES AT THE TIME AND THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION THE ISSUE NOR OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS. *TR

EVEN THOUGH HONDA WILL GIVE ME UP TO $150 BACK. I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND PAY FOR THE FULL PRICE. ALSO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IF THERE BRAKES ARE BAD!!!

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN GRINDING INTO THE REAR ROTORS. THERE WERE 31,480 MILES ON THE CAR AS I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE COST FOR NEW REAR PADS, ROTORS, AND LABOR WAS $522. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONLY PAYS OUT $150.

PADS WERE ALSO REPLACED WITH MERELY 7000 MILES. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF BRAKE PADS FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I FIND THAT TO BE ABSURD, TYPICALLY BRAKE PADS WILL LAST 20K-30K MILES. THERE APPEARS TO BE A FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE PADS, IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, OR PERHAPS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS VEHICLE WEIGHT, CAUSING THE ROTOR TO OVER TEMP AND WARP IF NOT CAPABLE TO DISSIPATE THE EXCESS HEAT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN EXTREMELY NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PRIMARILY HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A HARD BRAKING EVENT TO THAT POINT THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FAILURE. *TR

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.

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. *TR

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.

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...

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 NHTSA 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. *TR

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. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I WAS LOOKING INTO A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OF MINE AND STUMBLED ACROSS AN ISSUE MANY IF NOT ALL 08' AND 09' ACCORD OWNERS ARE FACING. COUNTLESS CONSUMERS REPORT DEFECTS WITH THE REAR BRAKES. MOSTLY THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 12,000 MILES. DEALERSHIPS ARE TELLING THE CONSUMER THIS IS THE NORMAL WEAR PERIOD FOR THE REAR BRAKES. THIS OF COURSE IS NOT TRUE, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE THE ONES THAT USUALLY GO FIRST AT AROUND 50,000 DEPENDING ON DRIVING, CONDITIONS, ETC. I LEARNED HONDA IS USING SOFT SMALL ORGANIC PADS. FURTHERMORE I'VE LEARNED OF THE DEALERSHIPS UNWILLINGNESS TO COVER THE COST OF THE PADS AND LABOR FROM STATE TO STATE. THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MY ACCORD CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT. THOUGH I HAVE NOT YET EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM EVERYONE ELSE HAS, I KNOW IT IS COMING. IT MAY SEEM ODD FOR SOMEONE TO REPORT A PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET, HOWEVER THE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE REGARDING THIS MATTER WILL NO DOUBT SAVE LIVES. AS A POLICE OFFICER IN TEXAS, I SEE THE GRIM REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLES ARE DRIVEN BEYOND THEIR MEANS OR WHEN THE VITAL SYSTEMS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE DEFECTIVE. IF THESE PADS CAN'T HANDLE "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" THEY CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING POWER DURING A HARMFUL EVENT. WE ALL CARE ABOUT SAFETY AND OUR FAMILIES WELFARE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. OUR SAFETY SHOULD NEVER BE COMPROMISED OVER THE GAIN OR LOSS OF A DOLLAR. LETS FIX THIS NOW, NOT AFTER A MAJOR INCIDENT. SOMEONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE DECIDE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT EXISTED ALL ALONG. THANK YOU. *TR

REAR BRAKES ARE HAVING TO REPLACED AT 16,000-20,000 MILES, CALLED HONDA DEALER THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS ,THE ENGINEERS PUT REAR BRAKES THAT ARE TOO SMALL ON THE CAR. HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM AND ARE LOGGING COMPLAINTS AT THIS TIME. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE A 6 CYLINDER AND THAT IT IS A HEAVIER CAR THEN THE 4 CYLINDER VERSION. *TR

Mileage: 26,000

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. *TR

Mileage: 300

BRAKES HAVE SQUEAKED SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE HAVE MADE AN ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR APPOINTMENT TO FIX BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SQUEAK WILL COME BACK THAT MORE THAN HALF THE 2009 HONDAS DO THAT AND THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S DO IT THAT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES SHE COULD HEAR A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE AFTER EACH STOP. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 17000.

Mileage: 17,000

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD'S REAR BRAKES WENT AFTER ONLY 20,000 MILES. I ONLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF JUDDERING AND SQUEAKING. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD, TRIM LEVEL EX, ENGINE V6 WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM. AT REGULAR SERVICE, DEALER ADVISED REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAD, AT THAT TIME, 16,354 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DETERIORATION IS FOUR TIMES MORE THAN FRONT BRAKE PADS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON ALL 2008 AND 2009 HONDA ACCORDS BUT HAS NEVER NOTIFIED INDIVIDUAL OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM. DEALERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY HONDA TO OFFER OWNERS A PARTIAL REFUND ON BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENTS. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER WOULD AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS EVERY 15,000 MILES OR LESS. HONDA CONTINUES TO SELL THESE CARS NEW WITHOUT ADVISING THE POTENTIAL BUYER THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM. I FEEL HONDA IS ATTEMPTING TO HIDE THE PROBLEM TO AVOID A RECALL AND TO LESSEN THEIR FINANCIAL LIABILITY. RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO ACCEPT LIABILITY. I CONSIDER SUCH PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR EXPOSES THE OWNER TO POTENTIAL BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

WITHING A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD 2009, IN GERMANTOWN, MD, IN DECEMBER 2008... IT STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING SOUND IN MY BRAKES. EVERYTIME I GO GET IT CHECKED, THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. THEN AS SOON AS I DRIVE AWAY, THE NOISE IS STILL THERE... WHAT THE '!@#$% IS THIS? I JUST GOT THIS BRAND NEW CAR... AND STARTED TO MAKE NOISE... THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN... NOW, THE YEAR IS ENDING...

HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW HONDA SHOULD HAVE THE SOLUTION BY NOW. PROBLEM IS MOSTLY EXPERIENCE ON A STOP AND GO. *TR

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAD 18,000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I BEGAN HEARING A METALLIC SOUNDING NOISE. II TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN TO THE SENSORS. FOR 240 DOLLARS THEY REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES. HONDA PAID HALF AFTER I COMPLAINED. I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS. SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH THE REAR BRAKES ON THE HONDA AND HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD LX 2009. IT MAKES A TREMENDOUS NOISE ON THE BRAKES AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT. I SEE A LONG LIST OF DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING GETTING HELP FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION. I WONDER HOW CAN I GET HELP TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT I AM NOT GETTING A HONDA AGAIN. *TR

I TOOK MY BRAND NEW 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX INTO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AT 12,700 MILES AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS ARE FAILING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 18,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ACCORD'S AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR HONDA MOTOR CORP. TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE REAR BRAKE PAD PREMATURE FAILURES IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MANY 2008 TO 2010 HONDA ACCORD'S ON THE ROAD ARE OPERATING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I IMPLORE THE NHTSA TO FORCE HONDA MOTOR CORP. TO RECALL AND REPAIR ALL 2008 TO 2010 ACCORD'S WHICH IS THE RESPONSIBLE AND REASONABLE COURSE OF ACTION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. *TR

Mileage: 12,700

2008 HONDA ACCORD, BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING AFTER NOISES STARTED COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES, ROTORS SHOT, DRUMS NEEDED REPLACING, PADS GONE. ALL THIS HAPPENED AT 26210 MILES FOR A TOTAL OF $547.86. THE BRAKES WILL NEED REPLACING EVERY 20,000 MILES AS ADVISED BY THE HONDA DEALER. HONDA CLAIMS IT IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM - BULL - BRAKES ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM, HOW CAN HONDA ADVERTISE THEY HAVE A SAFE CAR AND HAVE BRAKES FAILING ON OVER 500 COMPLAINTS FILED TO DATE. THESE IDIOTS ARE PROTECTING THEIR STOCKHOLDERS AND RISKING THE COMMON PERSON. NTSB NEEDS TO GET A PAIR AND START INVESTIGATING HONDA'S LIES. EVERYONE WHO OWNS A HONDA ACCORD SHOULD START A MASSIVE COMPLAINT SYSTEM TO GET HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE COUNT, NOT STOCKHOLDERS. HONDA USE TO BE A GREAT CAR - THIS ONE IS A PILE OF CRAP SO THEIR STOCKHOLDERS CAN GET MORE MONEY. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, FORD STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, MAYBE HONDA SHOULD FIND OUT OF AMERICANS TAKE CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I JUST PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX IN MAY 2009. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK 3 TIMES TO COMPLAIN OF THE BRAKES SQUEALING.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD, PURCHASED AT "COURTESY PALM HARBOR HONDA" STARTED SQUEALING BADLY AT 19,000 MILES. I HAVE NOTICED FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THAT THE CAR SEEMED TO ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN MORE THAN NORMAL WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS -- AS IF THE BRAKES WERE NOT FULLY RELEASED. I'VE ALSO NOTICED REDUCED FUEL EFFICIENCY. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING BADLY, AS IF THE PADS WERE FULLY WORN. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE THE BRAKE PADS AT 19K MILES, SO I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER TODAY. TURNS OUT THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN AND IT IS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION THAT THE CAUSE IS MY STYLE OF DRIVING -- NOT A DEFECTIVE HONDA PROBLEM. AFTER TELLING HIM THAT I DRIVE WITH ONLY ONE FOOT (I DON'T HOLD MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE DRIVING), HE STATED THAT ACCORDS ARE BUILT WITH AUTOBAHN QUALITY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE BRAKE PARTS THAT ARE REALLY SOFT FOR ENHANCED BRAKING ABILITY. I TOLD HIM THAT I HARDLY FEEL THAT THIS BASE-MODEL ACCORD WOULD BE CONSIDERED A "HIGH PERFORMANCE" VEHICLE. NEVERTHELESS, THE "SOFT / HIGH-QUALITY PADS" AND MY DRIVING STYLE WAS HIS REASON (ACCORDING TO HIM) FOR THE PREMATURE WEARING OF THE BRAKES. I'VE OWNED 15+ CARS IN MY LIFE TIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN IN LESS THAN 40,000 MILES - ESPECIALLY REAR BRAKES! I TOLD THE TECH THAT AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS. HE SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED AND HE COULDN'T OFFER ME ANY RELIEF WITHOUT HONDA CORP'S. BLESSING. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THE PADS WERE NICE AND EVENLY WARN. I CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS MYSELF AND FOUND THE OPPOSITE TO BE TRUE - THE INNER PAD WAS WAY MORE WORN OUT THAN THE OUTER - INDICATION A BRAKE SYSTEM DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 2009 HONDA ACCORD WITH 30,000 MILES. IT IS A 4 CYLINDER FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. THE REAR BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE WORN DOWN AND NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA USA AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2008 AND 2009 ACCORDS. THE COMPANY CLAIMS THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE BRAKES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, AND YET ACCORD OWNERS HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED NOR HAS A RECALL BEEN ISSUED. *TR

I INFORMED THEM OF SQUEAKING BRAKES AT 7,500 MILES AND WAS ASSURED THIS IS NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR REAR BRAKES TO NEED REPLACEMENT ANYWHERE FROM 12,000 TO 18,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED IN A RECALL, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING AS OF YET BECAUSE IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND BASED ON INFORMATION FOUND ON THE WEB IT SEAMS MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS ON FORUMS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

THE DEALER SERVICE GUYS TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE WORN OUT AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I CROSS CHECKED WITH OTHER HONDA ACCORD BUYERS AND THEY ALL HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKE PADS. THIS WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALER SERVICE GUYS AND THEN THEY ACCEPTED THAT THEY HAD FEW THOUSAND COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE FROM NEW CAR OWNERS. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AS THE COMPANY HAD NOT YET SENT THEM ANY DIRECTIVE FOR SUCH. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $180.00 FOR REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT.

I BOUGHT A 2009 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES, THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED STARTED TO MAKE A SCREECHING SOUND. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE TO BE BROKEN IN BUT AFTER A 2000 MILES, I HAD THE SAME NOISE AND WAS GETTING LOUDER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SERVICE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THE FIX WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE PAD SHIMS AND GREASE. LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED MILES I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I TOLD THEM THAT SOMETHING HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PADS AT LEAST. THE SERIVCE ATTENDANT SAID THAT HONDA COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATION AND BASICALLY WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. HONDA COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE LAST THING I TOLD HONDA WAS THAT I JUST HAD TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY SAID YES. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT IS JOINED WITH OTHERS TO FORCE HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 4 TIMES AND HAVE CALLED IN REGARDS TO THEM FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE PADS. THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? THE HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IF I FIX THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. HONDA WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM UNLESS ITS RECALLED. MY LEFT SPEAKER AS WELL HAS SHORTED OUT. I WENT TO THE CAR AUDIO STORE AND HAD THE SPEAKER REPLACED WITH A NEW HONDA SPEAKER AND ONCE AGAIN IT SHORTED AT A HIGH VOLUME.

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EXL W/NAVI 4 CYLINDER. IT CURRENTLY HAS 6000 MILES AND I BOUGHT IT IN SEPTEMBER 2008. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3-4 TIMES ABOUT THE BRAKES SQUEALING. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES, NO MATTER THE SPEED OR USE. THEY FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS TOO NEW AND THEY HAD TO BREAK IN. THEN THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE COLD DUE TO THE WINTER WEATHER AND I NEEDED TO DRIVE 55-60 MPG AND SLAM ON THE BREAKS TO WARM UP. THEN IT WAS DUE TO NEW BRAKE PADS NOT BEING MADE LIKE THEY USED TO BE WHEN THEY USED ASBESTOS IN PADS. THEN IT WAS BECAUSE ALL THE RAIN HAD CAUSED A BUILD UP AND THEY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. EVERYTIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A BRAND NEW CAR'S BRAKES TO SQUEAL EVERYTIME THEY ARE APPLIED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE AND HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IS ARISING WITH HONDA ACCORDS 2008 MODEL, REAR BRAKE PADS. THEY TEND TO WORE OUT AFTER 15,000 MILES. I AM A OWNER OF 2008 HONDA ACCORD V6, AND AT FIRST I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME SINCE I FIGURED IT'S JUST RANDOM EVENTS BUT AFTER TODAY SEEING THAT RIGHT SIDE REAR BRAKES ARE ALMOST GONE AND THERE IS ONLY LITTLE BIT OF PAD LEFT ON RIGHT SIDE, I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD 2008 MODELS. I CONTACTED MY ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOTALLY ACTED LIKE THIS IS NOT COMMON AT ALL AND VERY RARE AND A CAR SHOULD HAVE ITS PADS REPLACED EVERY 15,000-25,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX-L ON APRIL 11, 2009 FROM HOFFMAN HONDA IN AVON CT. WITHIN THE FIRST 500 MILES, THE BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK LOUDLY. I TOLERATED IT, BARELY, UNTIL THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 3,000 MILES AT WHICH TIME I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE COULD NOT HEAR IT THOUGH IT WAS APPARENT THAT HE TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY CLEANING THE BRAKES PADS AND/OR ROTORS. IT'S BEEN 300 MILES SINCE THE FIRST SERVICE AND THEY ARE SQUEALING LOUDLY AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO NOT APPLY THE BRAKES CORRECTLY TO TRY TO QUIET THE DEAFENING NOISE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR IT. AS TO WHEN THERE WILL BE A RECALL, IT MAY BE NEXT YEAR, IF THERE IS ONE.
