'07 accord 1K pulling slightly to right since new. Dealer claimed they checked the alignment which was O.K. and rotated tires. Problem still there. Anyone else have this issue?

Our old '03 always pulled to the right. After 3 years, 59k miles, and numerous alignments at the Honda dealer...the car still pulled right. They even rotated the steering wheel for an illusion.
 
Our old '00 Odyssey with 140k miles & our new '06 Odyssey are straight as an arrow.
 
So it wasn't my ming playing tricks.

thegraduate,
 
Warped rotors can be dangerous in a panic stop from high speeds, especially if the warping is severe. Your brakes are only being applied for part of each wheel rotation, only at the high spot of contact, resulting in longer stopping distances. It can cause some damage or premature wear to the brake system, but most importantly it can cause a safety issue due to loss of control and full stopping power at freeway speeds, and can cause the anti-lock braking system to not work correctly. Severe vibration can damage or cause premature wear to the brake system. The damage can be progressive as the warped rotor wears unevenly as it rubs against the brake pads.

Wow! This is my fourth new car (all hondas) but this is a first for me. I can't imagine dealing with this. What did it do to your tires in terms of wear? Surely this can't be normal for a car to have this issue out of the factory. I hope I get better luck than you did.

Does this kind of grinding noise caused by brake pads wearing out?
The noise is mainly at 10 miles/hr when I apply the brake. I am worried about damaging rotor/caliber if I keep driving.

Get your brakes checked out, as soon as possible.

Have you ever changed the front brake pads before? If not, I'm sure it's time for replacement. The grinding noise is either the wear indicator (some squeal, some grind), or it's the screws of the brake pad digging into the rotor (in which case you'll need a new pair of rotors).
 
Haven't priced out a brake job on Hondas (mine has only got 17K), but $45 to check them and $190 to replace pads seems a bit steep. Pretty much every garage can do a brake job.

New spark plugs for 2003 LX by deliciousbass

At 97,000 miles I decided it was time to change the spark plugs. Went to the dealer and was a bit surprised to be told they were $18 each. Bought them anyway and easily swapped them out. Posting this for anyone who hasn't changed plugs yet, but intends to. By the way, the old plugs looked to be in very good shape.

I have a 2004 Accord V6 with 70K, went through back brakes already, still have meat on the Front Brakes, Now, it seems I need to replace Rear Brakes again. Anyone experience this issue? Also, when I initially purchased my Accord brand new, I was told, 'NO SCHEDULE TUNE-UPS 105K MILES OR 10 YEARS' However, when I look in the owners manual, it's telling me I need to change the timing belt at 60k.
