TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL AN UNUSUAL ODOR COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED DUE TO WEIGHT ISTRIBUTION, THE REAR BRAKES WOULD WEAR SOONER THAN THE FRONT BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER DEEMED THE FAILURE AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,145 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,136.

I OWN A 2008 HONDA ACCORD AND IN FEB. 2009 I HAD 15,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED BY HONDA AT A COST OF $86.55 WHICH WAS ABOUT HALF THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR. IN FEB. 2010 AT 30,000 MILES THE REAR BRAKES WERE DOWN TO THE SENSORS AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACE AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED A 1999 AND HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES UNTIL THEY HAD AR LEASE 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKES ON THE 2008 AND 2009 HONDA ACCORD. CANADA HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE REAR BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACE AT NO CHARGE IN FEB.2010 AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY $86.55 THAT I PAID IN FEB. 2009 BUT HONDA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE REAR BRAKES HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO DO THIS CAUSE IT WILL COST THEM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I HOPE WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT ANOTHER TOYOTA SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2008 HONDA ACCORD WITH 16,000 MILES. RECENTLY I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKES WERE GONE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF NO PROBLEMS WITH REAR BRAKES ON THE ACCORD. I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME AS EARLY AS 6000 MILES. HONDA OFFERED TO PICK UP HALF THE COST, UNIT I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AWARE OF A FIX IN THE 2010 MODEL. THE DEALER THEN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEMS WITH EARLY BRAKE REPLACEMENT ON THE ACCORD. HONDA THEN REPLACED THEM WITH THE NEW PADS THAT HAVE SPRINGS ADDED TO STOP THE DRAGGING OF THE PADS ON THE DISC. THIS IS COSTING MANY PEOPLE EXPENSES THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD HAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT EXTREMELY PREMATURELY AND FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP. *DT THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS ONLY 5% REAR BRAKE PADS REMAINING. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NEVER ANY INDICATIONS OF GRINDING OR SQUEALING. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER WARRANTY. ON NOVEMBER 13, 2009 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A SHIMMY WAS FELT ON TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE CONSUMER BRAKED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE CONSUMERS WIFE NOTICED A SQUARE TIRE FEEL WHEN BRAKING SHORTLY AFTER THE REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED, BUT NEVER MENTIONED IT. THE DEALER FOUND THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND MACHINED THEM. *JB
