2008 Honda Accord SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS HONDA ACCORD. AT 28,000 MILES, THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE PREMATURELY WORN OUT. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM DURING ANNUAL STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. THE INSPECTOR SAID THE REAR BRAKE PADS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD ACCORDING TO REPAIR RECORDS HAS HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPAIRED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 7 MONTHS AGO. BEING TOLD ALL 4 ROTORS ARE WARPED BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I ONLY NOTICED IT BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE SHIMMERING AND SHAKING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE FIX WAS TO REFINISH THE ROTORS, BUT AT SOME POINT THIS OPTION WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE BECAUSE OF THE SPECS OF THE ROTOR SO THEN I WILL BE FORCED INTO REPLACING THEM AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $150 A ROTOR. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANY PART OF A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO STOP YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS COMPLETELY WORN OUT. FRONT BRAKES PADS STILL@ 75% GOOD. THIS IS UNHEARD OF DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE BRAKING IS ON THE FRONT PADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DRUMS WERE WEARING PREMATURELY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,800.

MY HONDA REAR BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD DIFFICULTY STOPPING MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD. I HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED AT CRAMER HONDA OF VENICE ON 05/27/10. I WAS TOLD ABOUT HONDA BRAKE RECALL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE NEW BRAKES I HAD INSTALLED IN MAY 2010 FOR WOULD LAST FOR AT LEAST 80,000, I WAS PAYING FOR THE IMPROVED BRAKES. WELL CLOSE TO 40,000 MILES LATER THE "NEW IMPROVED BRAKES" ARE CAUSING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS, DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING. ON 3/14/12, I WAS TOLD BY THE BY THE HONDA SERVICE EMPLOYEE THAT WHEN HONDA REDESIGNED THEIR BRAKES, FOR A SMOOTHER STOP, THEY DID NOT REDESIGN THE BRAKE PAD, CAUSING THEM TO WEAR MUCH QUICKER AND CAUSING CONCERNS. I BOUGHT HONDA FOR SAFETY FOR MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. I FEEL THE 2008 HONDA ACCORD BRAKES STILL CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY AND LIABILITY CONCERN. HOW MANY OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE FACING THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS? *TR

REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR WHICH RUINED THE ROTORS AT 21,000. I REPLACED AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM RECUR AT 42,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS YET. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE ALTHOUGH HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO AGREE NOR HAVE THEY FIXED THE QUALITY OF THE PADS. THEY CONTINUE TO PUT THE SAME DEFECTIVE PADS ON THE CARS. I CANNOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN REQUIRED. TOYOTA HAD TO RECALL THEIR CARS WHEN THEY ACCELERATED WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THEIR CARS FOR NOT STOPPING WHEN THEY SHOULD. DEFECTIVE BRAKES SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AS THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEARING PREMATURELY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE REAR BRAKE CONTINUED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND WEAR PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE EXHIBITING A GRINDING NOISE, BUT THE DEALER POLISHED AND SCRAPED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS CORRECTED.

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L. THE BRAKES VIBRATE ROUGHLY WHEN USED AND SHAKE THE ENTIRE CAR WHEN STOPPING, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH A CAR WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT. IT SEAMS THAT THE BRAKES HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM OR THEY ARE WEARING DOWN WAY TOO QUICKLY. *TR

IT APPEARS THAT THE 2008 HONDA ACCORD WAS EQUIPPED WITH DEFECTIVE/WRONG FITTING REAR BRAKES. MY ACCORD WAS NO EXCEPTION. WHEN YOUR REAR BRAKES ARE WORN OUT AT 15000 MILES AND THEY GO BEFORE THE FRONT ONES DO, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG. HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY TYPE OF RESPONSIBILTY. I ONLY HOPE/PRAY THAT NO ONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TT

I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE IN DECEMBER 2008. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE AT PARAGON HONDA IN QUEENS, NEW YORK.

I COMPLAINT TO BROOKLYN HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. TODAY IS THE 24TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2011, THE SENSOR ON THE REAR BRAKES IS GIVING THE WARNING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 18000 MILES. NO THOUGHT THAT HONDA MADE A MISTAKE ON THE 2008 ACCORD BRAKES, THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THE BLAME. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD. GOT ONLY 25,000 MILES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, SOME WEIRD NOISE CAME UP AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. I CAN NOT BRAKE THE CAR NORMALLY. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

HONDA ACCORD, 2008, REAR BRAKE SYSTEM DEFECTIVE. HONDA HAS KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUE. REAR BREAKS ON 2008-2009 ACCORDS WEAR OUR BEFORE 25K MILES. REAR BREAKS REPLACED AT 27K MILE AND NOW NEEDED AGAIN AT 55K MILES. HONDA IS AWARE OF ISSUE WITH THERE BREAKING SYSTEM AND WILL NOT RECALL THEIR VEHICLES. THEY ARE PAYING FOR 1 TIME BREAKS AS PART OF THEIR CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT WILL NOT FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. AFTER THE BRAKES ARE REPLACED 1 TIME ITS UP TO THE CAR OWNER TO KEEP PAYING FOR AND REPLACING THEIR BRAKES EVERY 15-25K MILES.
