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

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.
