SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PREMATURE REAR BRAKE FAILURE I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COUPE ON 8/2/08. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED ON 4/8/10 TO CHANGE THE OIL, ROTATE TIRES, AND A BRAKE INSPECTION. ON THIS DATE, THE CAR HAS 17,420 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAD REACHED THEIR SERVICE LIMIT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT NEED REPLACING AND HAD "9.0MM TO SENSOR" REMAINING. THE TOTAL COST OF REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT AFTER A 15% PARTS AND LABOR DISCOUNT WAS APPLIED WAS $229.46. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE CAR IN A MANNER THAT WOULD WARRANT PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE. ON MY PREVIOUS 1999 HONDA ACCORD COUPE, I DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES UNTIL 65K MILES. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE REAR BRAKES. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BY CALLING 1-800-999-1009 AND WAS TOLD THAT NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR REAR BRAKE PROBLEMS. I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER AND WAS ADVISED THAT A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS. BY CHANCE, I FOUND AN ARTICLE IN U.S. NEWS AND REPORTS DATED APRIL 8, 2010 "HONDA SETTLES LAWSUIT OVER ACCORD BRAKES." THE ARTICLE STATES THAT THE BRAKES OF 750K LATE MODELS OF ACCORD AND ACURA TSX ARE WEARING OUT TWICE AS FAST AS THEY SHOULD. THE ARTICLE ALSO STATES THAT THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED 350 OWNER COMPLAINTS TO DATE. THERE IS NO MENTION THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A BRAKE DISTRIBUTION ISSUE, DESIGN DEFECT, POOR QUALITY, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2008 HONDA ACCORD BRAKE ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AT 14,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 22,000 MILES. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE NOT WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM ON A CAR THAT IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING AND REQUIRES COMPARATIVELY LITTLE USE OF THE BRAKES. SUSPECT POOR QUALITY METALS IN THE ROTORS AS EVERY CAR OR TRUCK EVER OWNED HAS LASTED 60,000 + MILES BEFORE REQUIRING THIS WORK. *TR
