2008 Honda accord exl v6 sedan by jeremyaaron

So I went to Honda last week to get the new Acura wheels put on and the guy told me the rotors on my car need to be lathed because when he applied the brakes at 70 or 80 mph it pulsated badly. I said I was just here 2 weeks ago for a B1 service and you said all brakes were fine. They said oh but we don't road test it. So I go back today for the brake service just because it was free, and they replace all 4 rotors, and all brake pads in the front and rear. They stated sometimes when the car is new and sits on the lot they get rusty. I said I have 17,000 plus on it. Well he said they were all pitted and rusty so we replaced all of them. Has anyone else had this problem.

I don't remember what the exact problem was with my brakes (2009 EXL v6 coupe) but I also had to have brakes replaced at 15K miles. They didn't charge me for it either.

Brake rotors have frequently been a weak spot for Hondas, as they warp rather easily.

I have learned to not use any wheel cleaners on the wheels because it gets on the rotors and causes slick spots. Just use soap and water and elbow grease. Keep that in mind.

Yes, I was referring to the headlight issue.
 
Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I'm about to buy a new Accord to replace my 04.

I can't sleep at night knowing that my headlights may flicker slightly at 15 minute intervals. Can anyone help me?

Sure. Turn off the headlights before you go to bed. Then, no more worries.

Read previous posts, as this has already been discussed heavily when the new 08 Accord arrived. This will help you out. My previous 06 Accord I had did the same thing. Accord has done this for years. I never thought much of it.

I think Mitch was just being a bit sarcastic.

Well good for you sleep real well knowing your headlights are ok...oh by the way honda bought back my 2008 accord this morning because of the headlight problem..mine did flicker every 20 seconds as always stated and I won the arbitration hearing. based on a safety defect with no fix. I have to go out of town for a few days but a lot more will be posted on here over the weekend. If you think honda is your friend think again. For those of you on here that supported my efforts thanks..for the others tune in over the weekend for the real story of how honda operates. Enjoy driving those cars with "normal characteristics".
