I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD NEW 2/2010. I'VE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS & GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS DESPITE WHAT HONDA RECOMMENDS. AFTER HEARING A MILD GRINDING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME DIRT/PEBBLE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MI. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES W/ OTHER HONDA CUSTOMERS. I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BELIEVED THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THE HONDA BRAKE PADS. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE 80% LIFE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY PREVIOUS CARS W/ MILEAGE UNDER 55,000. I STARTED MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AFTERWARDS & FOUND THE 2010 HONDA CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE REAR BRAKES ON SPECIFIC YRS OF THE HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR BRAKES. HONDA ACCORD BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST UP TO 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIR DEADLINE & ELIGIBILITY INCLUDED BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH HONDA BRAKE PADS & INSTALLATION OF THOSE BRAKE PADS WITHIN 3 YRS OF WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST SOLD. I'VE OWNED MY ACCORD FOR 4 YRS & I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET PADS. SINCE I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO WRITE HONDA OR GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT, I OPTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE W/ OTHER CONSUMERS, RATHER THEN REMAIN SILENT & FRUSTRATED. I DOUBT I'LL MAKE ANY PROGRESS W/ CONTACTING HONDA. I TRULY ENJOY MY HONDA ACCORD & ITS PERFORMANCE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED W/ HONDA & THEIR LACK OF COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION & RESOLVING AN INFERIOR PART ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS NOTED W/ ALL THE ONLINE CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES HAD WORN PREMATURELY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 18,000.

THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN DOWN @22,004 MILES WHILE FRONT PADS ARE GREAT (8MMS). I'M A OLD, GOOD DRIVER AND NEVER REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE PADS FIRST. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY DEFECT. I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! HONDA NEEDS FIX THE BACK BRAKES! *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR BRAKE PADS. *SMD DURING A STATE INSPECTION, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE PADS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY.

REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN FAST, THEY REQUIRE A CHANGE AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN. PADS SHOW UNEVEN WEAR, IT MAYBE A CALIPER DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE DRIVEN ABOUT 18,000 MILES AND REAR BRAKE PADS WORE OUT MUCH FASTER THAN USUAL. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THEY ARE 2MM WHERE FRONTS ARE 8MM. FAULTY REAR PADS WEARING OUT FASTER ON THE INSIDE (PISTONS STICKING) THIS INSPECTION DONE IN HONDA ORLANDO AND HONDA AMERICA INSISTS THAT BRAKE PADS ARE FINE DESPITE THE REAR, WHERE THERE IS LEAST WEIGHT WEARS OUT FASTER THAN FRONT, WHERE THE MOST WEIGHT IS ! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. MAKE SURE YO GET YOUR BRAKES INSPECTED BEFORE YOU BUY ANY HONDA'S CAUSE THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. I MADE MULTIPLE CALLS TO DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTERS AND HONDA AMERICA. THEY JUST SIMPLY DON'T CARE. THEY GOT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE UNTIL YOU BUY A VEHICLE FORM THEM. ONCE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM (EVEN ON A HONDA CERTIFIED VEHICLE) YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT BUY HONDA BREAKS IF YOU REPLACE THEM WITH YOUR BUDGET CAUSE YOU WILL KEEP REPLACING THEM SOON AGAIN. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA AMERICA HAS BEEN IGNORING IT. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN ON THE PHONE AGAIN AFTER TALKING TO HONDA SERVICE. I PASSED THE INFORMATION TO HONDA AMERICA. THEY ARE LIKE; YOUR VEHICLE IS CERTIFIED BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE YOUR BRAKE PADS. NEVER HEARD OF A REAR BRAKE PADS GO OUR BEFORE THE FRONT. *TR

1. I BELIEVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON 2010 ACCORD HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES THE INBOARD REAR BRAKE PADS TO WEAR UNEVENLY AND TO WEAR FASTER THAN THE OUTBOARD PADS. 2. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, ON OCTOBER 7, 2009: THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2011 AT 36,365 MILES AND THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS ON MARCH 12, 2013 AT 67,699 MILES. 3. MARCH 12, 2013 PAD REPLACEMENT. THE INBOARD PADS ON BOTH SIDES ARE WORN DOWN FAR MORE THAN THE OUTBOARD PADS. ALSO, THE INBOARD PADS ARE WORN UNEVENLY: ONE OF THE INBOARD PADS HAS 2 MM LEFT ON THE END NEAR THE BREAK PAD WEAR INDICATOR & 3 MM LEFT ON THE OTHER END, THE OTHER INBOARD PAD HAS 1 MM LEFT ON THE END NEAR THE BREAK PAD WEAR INDICATOR & 2 MM OF PAD LEFT ON THE OTHER END. THE OUTBOARD PADS ARE WORN EVENLY AND BOTH HAVE 5-6 MM OF PAD REMAINING. 4. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT! BOTH INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SHOULD WEAR EVENLY AND AT THE SAME RATE AND GIVE MORE THAN 31,000 36,000 MILES OF USEFUL SERVICE. 5. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CALIPER AND/OR THE CALIPER MECHANISM AND THE EMBEDDED PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM. PERHAPS THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM SOMETIMES ALLOWS IT TO NOT RELEASE PROPERLY? MY FEAR IS THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW WILL CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. 6. GENUINE HONDA PARTS WERE INSTALLED WITH BOTH REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENTS AND THE FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS A NORMAL MIX OF HIGHWAY AND TOWN DRIVING AND VERY LITTLE STOP-N-GO CITY DRIVING. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I RIDE THE BRAKES. I BELIEVE NORMAL WEAR, CONSIDERING OUR DRIVING HABITS, FOR THE REAR BRAKES IS 50,000-60,000 MILES.
