Sedans Honda Accord Honda Accord Brake Questions

I have a Honda Accord 2007 SE with 12,000km. The front brakes are 80% remaining and the rear brakes are 35% remaining. Is this normal wear for the vehicle?

I replaced the rear brakes and had the rotors on all four brakes turned about 5k miles ago (I have about 40k miles on my car.) I have brought the car into the dealer THREE times under warranty because my brakes were making strange noises. Of course the dealer could not recreate the noise and therefore did not fix the problem. Now my front brakes have gotten consistently noisier and the other day I felt the car slip a little when it should have been stopping (not on ice - it was too warm down where I live for ice.) What is the problem with these brakes? The noise I am hearing (and have heard for a long time) is a grinding and also what sounds like air bubbles running through a tube. |

Replying to: kaneki28 (Sep 17, 2007 8:35 am) My 2006 Accord 4 cylinder required new rear brakes at 47000 unlike my 98 Camry which went over 80000 miles. This is a HONDA DESIGN FLAW in which soft brakes have been put on the rear and are always engaged with brake use. Friends had theirs replaced at 33,000 (my driving is 80% highway) and the Hansel Honda dealer in Santa Rosa California confirmed the design flaw and stated most go only 25000 miles. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THESE BRAKES FOR FREE OR AT LEAST PAY FOR THE PARTS. THIS IS INTOLERABLE. THIS IS MY FIRST AND PROBABLY ACCORD. I don't have time for expensive maintenance or frequent repairs; otherwise I would buy a German car to visit the dealership frequently.

Replying to: parviz (Mar 31, 2008 12:48 pm)  Doing your own maintenance is something you CAN do. Producing your own oil, you CAN'T do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone should do their own maintenance, but if you choose not to do it yourself, you shouldn't complain about how much someone else charges you for doing it.

Replying to: elroy5 (Mar 31, 2008 1:10 pm) I'd like to think I can raise cane over someone over-charging to do this service. If one reputable shop will do it for $475 (the same shop who fixed my car after getting hit on I-59 last year), including water pump, the dealer should be ashamed to ask $850. That is exactly what has happened with me. Guess who'll be doing my timing belt?
