STARTED HEARING REAR BRAKE SQUEAKING. MENTIONED TO DEALER WHEN GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED AT 20,493 MILES. I WAS GIVEN AN EXCUSE THAT THIS COULD BE DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS. THE FRONT BRAKES SHOULD GO FIRST, SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN APPROVED TO COVER $150 OF THE REPAIR WHICH I DO NOT FEEL IS ADEQUATE. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINEER DESIGN ERROR ON THE 2008, 2009 AND SOME 2010 HONDA ACCORDS. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO THEIR OWN ERROR. WE PAY BIG BUCKS TO THESE CAR COMPANIES AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY CUT CORNERS OR THEIR ENGINEERS SCREW UP. *TR

HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND DAMAGED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HOW WAS I TO HAVE KNOWN? THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THIS ON THE DASH AND NO SIGN OF ANYTHING. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE BECAUSE OF THE WAY I HANDLED THIS SITUATION. THEY ARE CHARGING ME A PRETTY PENNY AND I FEEL I HAVE A LEMON.
