AT ABOUT 20,000, OUR 2009 HONDA ACCORD (V6) STARTED HAVING REAR BRAKE NOISES. WE TOOK IT TO THE WEST COVINA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE REAR PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACING. I SAID THAT IS VERY PREMATURE TO HAVE REAR PADS WEAR OUT SO SOON AND THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL AND WOULD NOT CONSIDER ANY WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OR DISCOUNT AS IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT SHOP AND HAD THEM REPLACED. STRANGE THAT IT WAS BOTH INNER PADS THAT HAD WORN OUT--THE OUTERS HAD ABOUT 50% LIFE LEFT.*TR
