TOOK MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD INTO PRIORITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA TO HAVE THE ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION DONE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR THERE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW TO HAVE ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES DONE. AT 30,000 MILES, I AM BEING TOLD I NEED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE ALMOST METAL-TO-METAL AND THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD REIMBURSE ME UP TO 150.00 OF THE REPAIR COST WHICH WAS CLOSE TO 200.00. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ONLY BE TOLD BY THEM THAT MY VIN# IS NOT COVERED AND IT WAS ONLY VERY FEW 2010 ACCORDS THAT WERE AFFECTED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, THEY SIMPLY JUST APOLOGIZED THAT THEY HAD GIVEN ME WRONG INFORMATION, ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR REAR BRAKES TO WEAR OUT IN 30,000 MILES (WHICH I KNOW IS NOT CORRECT), AND SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. REALLY....THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA I HAVE PURCHASED, BUT I AM MIGHTY AFRAID IT WILL BE MY LAST AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HONDA ASAP. WHAT IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING IS I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

I DRIVE HIGHWAY MILES TO AND FROM WORK, NO EXCESSIVE BRAKING SO NOT IT IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON REAR BRAKES. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY OTHER NEW CARS - NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO GET FROM JOHN WAS THE 800 NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE "THOUGHT" HE HAD HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THOUGHT, REALLY HMMM.

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION ON YESTERDAY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR BRAKES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS EVERY SINCE 1989 AND PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR HAS NEVER OCCURRED WITH ANY OF THE HONDA THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOUR BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN A CAR. ALSO, THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY FRONT BUMPER. IT IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR BY SNAPS. THESE SNAPS BREAK AND THE BUMPER STARTS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT IT TO THEIR BODY SHOP BUT THE BUMPER IS STILL TRY TO SEPARATE FROM THE CAR.

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD COUPE WAS MAKING A METALLIC "SQUEALING" SOUND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (AND, EVENTUALLY, AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES). I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (UNION PARK HONDA IN WILMINGTON DE) TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED "WITH AN UPDATED FACTORY PART". AFTERWARD I SAW THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2008-2009 HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKE WEAR AFTER AS LITTLE AS 15,000 MILES. MY 2010 ACCORD (WHICH WAS NOT ONE OF THE 2010'S INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT) HAD ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO OF NOTE IS THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE AT 1MM OF MATERIAL LEFT (OUT OF 10MM), WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES WERE AT 7MM (OUT OF 10MM), SO THIS WOULD NOT INDICATE WEAR DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

2010 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 6 CYL. - BRAKE SCREECH, BRAKE SMELL AND SLIDING TO STOP (LIKE BRAKES ARE LOCKED). HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES - A DEFINITE LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION ON THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, AT 17,000 MILES REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE COMPLETELY WORN. BRAKE NEAR-FAILURE AND SMELL OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. 2 DEALERS "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA, WITH NO HELP THERE, EITHER. I AM SEEKING REDRESS VIA BBB AUTOLINE/CA LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD SCREECH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED. WHEN HE DID ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A DELAYED STOPPING RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE WRONG BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,349. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.
