Service brakes, Nov 17, 2013
AS A PRECAUTION, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXPECTING SOME PAD WEAR AT THIS MILEAGE BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. MY VERY TRUSTED MECHANIC SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PADS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON NEXT OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY PADS HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS - A $650 REPAIR ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. THE MOST TROUBLING THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO "CRICKETING" OF THE BRAKE PADS AT ANY TIME! AND NO OTHER TYPICAL BREAK WEAR FUNCTION ISSUES. NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW, ASIDE FROM A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WHY THE NHTSA IS ALLOWING HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE IS COMPLETELY BEYOND COMPREHENSION. *TR
