2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR BRAKE PADS. *SMD DURING A STATE INSPECTION, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE PADS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY.

THE REAR BRAKES ARE WORN IN UNDER 10,000 MILES. *TR

REAR BRAKE PADS WORN RIGHT INTO THE ROTORS. STOPPING DISTANCE LONGER THAN USUAL.VEHICLE STRUCK CURB BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES, ROTORS AND THE FRONT CALIPERS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD GIVE THE CONTACT A DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 28,422. UPDATED 07/13/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE CASE WAS SETTLED AND HONDA WAS MAILING A CHECK FOR $150. UPDATED 07/18/12

I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, THE DEALER SAID MY REAR BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. 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. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

HEARD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND TOLD NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKES IN THIS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND HAD TO PAY $185.00. *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN OCT 2010; I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, EXCESSIVE VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. DEALER RE-SURFACED THE FIRST 2 TIMES, REPLACED ROTOR THE THIRD TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER 7K MILES, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES AT 21,837 MILES COSTING $212.81. MY VIN NOT PART OF SETTLEMENT BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY STILL AN ISSUE WITH HONDA BRAKES. WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR LAWSUITS. I AM SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NO DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS? *TR

BRAKE PADS AT 23,700 MILES COMPLETELY WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH ROTORS. *TR

PREMATURE WEAR ON REAR BRAKES. BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR MADE SCRAPING SOUND FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL. INSPECTED BRAKES AND FOUND RIGHT REAR INNER BRAKE PAD WORN DOWN. LEFT REAR BRAKES ALSO WORN BUT NOT YET TO WEAR INDICATOR. ONLY 26,995 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF INCIDENT. EXAMINED FRONT PADS AND FOUND THEM TO BE IN NEAR LIKE NEW CONDITION AT 9/32 INCHES THICKNESS. *TR

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.

BRAKES WEAR OUT AND DEVELOP HOT SPOTS. HAD TO REPLACE EITHER BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS OFTEN. HONDA DOESN'T ADMIT IT AS THEIR PROBLEM AND MAKING ME PAY FOR EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS COSTING ME A FORTUNE. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN IS NOT ON THE SETTLEMENT REACHED. EACH TIME I GO TO DEALER WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS, HE RE-SURFACES ROTORS CAUSING ADDITIONAL WEAR. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD HEAR A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN BRAKING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

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

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

NEEDED REAR BRAKES AT 21,189 MILES. *TR

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

THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 13,900 MILES. *TT

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEAR AND I PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AT ONLY 22,837 MILES. 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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES FAILED TWICE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND A HALF. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE ORIGINALLY REPLACED AT 11,000 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED EVERY SIX MONTHS AFTERWARD. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD YET TO NEED REPLACING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

WENT INTO MY HONDA DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY REAR BRAKES IN MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WERE SHOT AT 14,805 MILES. NEVER IN MY ENTIRE DRIVING CAREER HAVE I EVER EXPERIENCED THIS AND I AM 65 YEARS OLD. EVIDENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND CONSUMERS HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. WAITING FOR A CALL FROM HONDA AND WILL BE CHECKING INTO THIS FURTHER. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA REGARDING THIS. *TR
