MY FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE AND HAD TWICE AS MUCH PAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM COMPARED TO THE REAR PADS. THE COST WOULD BE $249- TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS.

NO INJURIES BUT VERY SCARY. *TT

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. *TR

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.

Mileage: 22,633

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. *TR

Mileage: 30,000

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).*TR

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. *TR

Mileage: 28,600

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. *TR

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. *KB

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. *TR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. SEVERAL TIMES THE BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND AND SQUEALED LOUDLY. I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD V-6. IN JUNE I HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I USED THE BRAKES. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND ONLY HAVE ~25K MILES ON IT. THE MILEAGE IS 90% HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE MILES AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED OTHER THAN POOR MATERIAL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.. *TR

TOOK MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD INTO PRIORITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA TO HAVE THE ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION DONE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR THERE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW TO HAVE ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES DONE. AT 30,000 MILES, I AM BEING TOLD I NEED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE ALMOST METAL-TO-METAL AND THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD REIMBURSE ME UP TO 150.00 OF THE REPAIR COST WHICH WAS CLOSE TO 200.00. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ONLY BE TOLD BY THEM THAT MY VIN# IS NOT COVERED AND IT WAS ONLY VERY FEW 2010 ACCORDS THAT WERE AFFECTED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, THEY SIMPLY JUST APOLOGIZED THAT THEY HAD GIVEN ME WRONG INFORMATION, ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR REAR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT IN 30,000 MILES (WHICH I KNOW IS NOT CORRECT), AND SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. REALLY....THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA I HAVE PURCHASED, BUT I AM MIGHTY AFRAID IT WILL BE MY LAST AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HONDA ASAP. WHAT IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING IS I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 30,600

AT 28,000 MILES THE REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED, ROTORS CUT TO THE COST OF $314.59. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON MARCH 29, 2010 BRAND NEW. JOHN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MIDDLETOWN HONDA TELLS ME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE PERFECT AND THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES- REALLY. I DRIVE HIGHWAY MILES TO AND FROM WORK, NO EXCESSIVE BRAKING SO NOT IT IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON REAR BRAKES. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY OTHER NEW CARS - NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO GET FROM JOHN WAS THE 800 NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE "THOUGHT" HE HAD HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THOUGHT, REALLY HMMM. IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING, OVER 40 YEARS, NEVER HAVE I HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE ANY OF MY CARS NOR HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHOW THE NONCHALANT ATTITUDE TOWARDS A CUSTOMER. REPEAT BUSINESS, I DON'T THINK SO. *TR

I OWN A 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONE YEAR. THE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 18,000 MILES. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION ON YESTERDAY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR BRAKES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS EVERY SINCE 1989 AND PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR HAS NEVER OCCURRED WITH ANY OF THE HONDA THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOUR BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN A CAR. ALSO, THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY FRONT BUMPER. IT IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR BY SNAPS. THESE SNAPS BREAK AND THE BUMPER STARTS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT IT TO THEIR BODY SHOP BUT THE BUMPER IS STILL TRY TO SEPARATE FROM THE CAR. IF THE BUMPER COMES OFF IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS SOLD A 2010 HONDA ACCORD LAST YEAR AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS ON MY REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY. I WAS THEN TOLD BY HONDA AMERICA THAT THESE ARE 'WEAR' PARTS THAT THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT BRAKES ARE WEAR PARTS BUT 'NOT AT 20,000 MILES'. IF IT IS OK FOR HONDA TO SELL BRAKING SYSTEMS THAT NEED THIS KIND OF ATTENTION SO EARLY IN LIFE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WARN CUSTOMERS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *TT

2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS FOUND BY DEALER TO HAVE "NO REAR BRAKES" TODAY DURING A SERVICE VISIT.

AS A RESULT, THE REAR PADS ARE WORN TO NOTHING PER THE DEALER WHILE THE FRONT PADS ARE HARDLY WORN AT ALL.
