2003 EX-4cyl auto transmission - had problems with front brakes making grinding noise for 3 years. Dealer service department said they could find nothing wrong. Recently, the car shakes and vibrates when braking at highway speeds. Dealer service advisor says the brake rotors are warped but pads still have 8k miles of life left. HE suggested to continue driving until pads need replacement or turn rotors and replace pads together now, total about $280. Will there be any further damage to the car if I continue driving the car? Given that the car has 36k miles, are warped rotors a normal occurrence? I live in the DC area where the weather is relatively mild. Is it advisable to replace the rotors rather than turning them? Thanks! |

I have a 2006 accord, and its brake calipers that hold the main pads for braking, are rusting through. My hub that is on my underside of my rim is rusting on one wheel. I took it to my dealer and showed my service manager and at first told me this is normal, but he then showed me other cars that has similar mileage (16,700) and he realized that it seemed weird that there cars did not show that it was rusting through the surface. He actually took sandpaper and realized, yes it is rusting below surface. Call me crazy and obsessive, but hey it looks bad, and its a new car basically. 3 of my brake calipers are doing that. Rust, like brownish red rust. He finally told me to contact Honda corporation to file a case. I have the alloy wheels and you can see the calipers and the rust. What would you do , if you were me? The case manager for honda called me back to talk, but i missed the call. I want it fixed. There getting worse. My calipers look as though there was no prep for protection. If you can give any advice, that would be great. Brian |

Hi, my 04 Accord LX has 56,000 miles (mainly freeway miles). It starts making grinding noise at about 10 miles/hr when I apply the brake. I don't hear the noise at other speed. The noise is near the front left tire the car. When it makes the noise, it isn't continuous, but it is on and off as the tire spins. Does this mean I need to change brake pads? My dealer quoted my $45 for brake check, and $190 for brake pad replacement. Thanks, Kevin |

Hello all. I have a 2007 Accord SE I-4 with 900 miles and about 5 seconds after starting the car it makes a soft groaning noise lasting about a second such as when backing out of a parking space. It seems as if the power steering is priming itself (?) or the ABS is self testing (?) because I can feel it through the steering wheel and the brake pedal. After the initial groan at startup it drives perfectly without any unusual noises. Is this normal or should I get it checked out? Anyone else experiencing this? Other than this minor issue its been a great car and love driving it.
