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

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
