ON 3/18/15 I TOOK OUR 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 28,037 MILES TO SUBURBAN HONDA IN FARMINGTON HILLS,MI FOR A OIL CHANGE,THE SERVICE MANAGER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PADS HAVE WORN OUT TO THE POINT OF WEARING OUT THE ROTOR BEYOND TURNING TO REPAIR,AND I NEED A NEW CALIPER THAT AS WE KNOW MUST BE REPLACED IN PAIRS. HIS PRICE FOR REPAIRS WAS $1027.60 + TAX =$1089.26 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AUTO REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD ALL NEW PADS,ROTORS AND CALIPERS REPLACED FOR $650.04 THIS COSTLY EXPENSE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE,HOW MANY OTHER TRUSTING CUSTOMERS BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR REAR BRAKE FAIL AS WELL. AT THE LEAST HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE US FOR ALL OF THE REPAIRS. AT 28,049 MILES BOTH FRONT TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO PREMATURE WARE

I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY ROTORS BRAKES AND CALIPERS 4 TIMES SINCE LAST AUGUST. I JUST CHANGED THE ROTORS AND BRAKES FOR THE 3RD ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THEY ARE GRINDING AGAIN. I WENT OUT FOR LUNCH AND WHEN I GET BACK TO WORK I HEAR A GRINDING. I GET TO WORK AND LOOK AND ITS ON THE ROTOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MIND YOU IN OCTOBER ON A ROAD TRIP THE CALIPER MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE ROTOR. COST ME $850 TO FIX! THIS IS RIDICULOUS

DURING A RECENT INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES BARELY PASSED AND WOULD ONLY LAST APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 3,000 MILES. I HAVE 17,000 MILES ON MY HONDA! I INHERITED THIS CAR LAST YEAR FROM MY UNCLE WHO PASSED. HE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2010 AND PUT LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 YEARS. I HEARD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OF CERTAIN YEARS ON ACCORDS, INCLUDING THE ONE I HAVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD FIX THIS AS A COURTESY TO OWNERS BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS. IN 2015, THIS IS NO LONGER AN OPTION. AT NO POINT HAS HONDA RECALLED THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH PUTTING SUCH CHEAP PRODUCTS ON A VEHICLE THAT COSTS MORE THAN 30K? THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL FIGHT THIS AND MAKE SUCH A BIG STINK UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARED. AT NO POINT SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE BRAKES AT 17,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSURD. WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT?

IN 2012 (25KMI - TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE) REQUIRED BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT. 2015 (55K MI REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF REAR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT AND NON-STOP SQUEAKING. TWO MONTHS LATER, AGAIN, EXCESSIVE HEAT (TOO HOT TO TOUCH RIM). TOOK BACK TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE CALIPERS. *TR

IN LATE MAY 2014 I HAD THE BRAKES (PADS/ROTORS) REPLACED ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD, 2 MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS AGAIN, - ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN, MANAGED TO GET THEM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, - 2 MONTHS LATER 10/31 MORE BRAKE ISSUES SO TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER (SO NO AFTER MARKET PARTS), ROTORS WARPED, RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS, - DONE, 2 MONTHS LATER IN DECEMBER 2014 BACK TO THE DEALER (NOW I'VE PAD FOR THEM 2X IN 6 MONTHS)- REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED, NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY - BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME (1S 2 WERE NOT A DEALER). THIS TIME THEY WERE WARPED, BUT NOT AS BAD - SO THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THIS TIME I WENT EARLY, WHEN I FIRST STATED NOTICING IT. NO ONE FIGURES OUT WHY... SO, IN TOTAL, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD A HONDA CORPORATE REP TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE, THEY WERE ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. BUT THAT RIDE WAS NOT TILL AFTER THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS, OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM - THIS TOTALLY HAS NO LOGIC TO EVEN HAVE THAT DONE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED - UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY DO I HAVE TO WASTE, AND BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR IS GOING THRU BRAKES- MAYBE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT? IN ADDITION TO THESE ONGOING BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE 3 PISTONS REBUILT (UNDER A RECALL , BUT I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE MISFIRE PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING) AND THE STEERING RACK REPLACED (THANK GOD I HAD 100 MILES LEFT ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY). *TR

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING, 9 DEGREES TO BE EXACT. I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I MAKE IT 50 FEET AND THE BRAKES BEGIN TO FAIL. IM PUMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A STAND STILL. I HIT THE BRAKES A SECOND AND THIRD TIME I GLIMPSE DOWN WONDERING WHY IS THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING I CONTINUE STOMPING ONTO THE BRAKE. I STARTED TO SCREAM IN REALIZATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I COLLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT WAS AT A STAND STILL. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WAS NOT EVEN A FULL 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME I COULD NOT COMPREHEND HOW MY BRAKES JUST FAILED AFTER I REPEATEDLY PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS. I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THANK GOD I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO ONE CROSSING. THE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR I COLLIDED INTO WERE ALSO FINE. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT HONOLULU, HI, HONDA PFLUGER (NOW PACIFIC HONDA). WITH THE PROPER MAINTENANCE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMING SATISFACTORILY UNTIL NOW. ONLY MINOR DEFECTS WERE NOTED, SUCH AS BATTERY REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE 3-YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. ON 01/08/15, WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN AUSTIN, TX, BECAUSE, FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A WHILE, THE BREAKS WILL NOT WORK WHEN BACKING UP: THE PEDDLE GOES ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND STICKS, WILL NOT GO BACK NOR DOWN, AND THE HAND BREAK HAD TO BE PULLED UP TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED, WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE AT HOWDY HONDA. THE NEXT DAY, THE MAINTENANCE CONSULTANT INFORMED US THAT THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER, AND THAT A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH PART WOULD BE NECESSARY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $946.00, PLUS TAXES, BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE VEHICLE?S WARRANTY. ON THE HONDA WARRANTY BOOKLET, THE AFOREMENTIONED PART IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF NON-COVERED PARTS (PAGE 9); THE MALFUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER USE OF OUR CAR: WE HAVE NEVER USED IT FOR BUSINESS OR UNUSUAL SPORT OR OTHER ACTIVITIES; THE MASTER CYLINDER IS THE ORIGINAL PART INSTALLED BY HONDA; AND NO THIRD-PARTY TECHNICIAN HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT. THE DEFECT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER IS VERY UNUSUAL; ALMOST ANY 2010 HONDA ACCORD WITH 31,409 MILES SHOWS THIS KIND OF ISSUE. HENCE, WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION IS A CASE OF A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE. FURTHERMORE, THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PART MALFUNCTION REPRESENTS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH POTENTIAL PERSONAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGES AGAINST US AND THIRD PARTIES. THE CAR IS INOPERATIVE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *TR
