#144 of 198 inside pad by stickguy Aug 29, 2009 (6:59 pm)
I had the same problem on my 2005, right at 40K.   Left side was fine, and the outer right pad was fine, but the inner right pad was shot. So, new pads all around!   the dude at the tire store, when I called for a price, asked if it was that exact pad (without seeing the car). Known defect IMO.   He said the problem was the capiper hanging up (drying out and sticking I think). Not much you can do, other than lube it up good, and probably have it greased (if possible) once in a while.   certainly explains why some people need rear pads early, and others get plenty of life.

Replying to: mike701 (Aug 29, 2009 11:57 am) The Honda dealer here in Corner Brook , NL told me that this problem started when Honda started using rear disc brakes , and I should expect to have to replace the rear brake pads again in about 30000km ( 20000 MILES). I am in the process of trying to to get in contact with Honda Canada's customer relations.( 1-888-946-6329 ) Replies to this message: elroy5 (Aug 30, 2009 6:00 pm)

Replying to: bbartlett (Aug 30, 2009 4:23 pm) My 92 Accord had rear disk brakes, and the rears did not wear faster than the front. My 03 Accord however, has EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution), and the rear pads did wear out faster than the front (47k vs. 60k). Brakes are a "normal wear" item, so I don't think you will get much satisfaction from Honda on that. I realize, for someone who pays the dealership to change the pads, this could be a maintenance cost issue . For me, a pad change costs less than a tank of gas, so I'm not complaining.
#147 of 198 Regarding brakes on 2008 Accord by accord2008 Sep 09, 2009 (10:48 am)
I just had to install new brakes on the rear of my Accord 08. I drive highway and have 30000 miles and front are not even close to being replaced. I called Honda customer service but with no luck. They say it states in Owners manual that brakes are a wear and tear item. I have had 4 Hondas and 1 is over 100,000 miles and at least got 45,000 miles before any pad changed let alone the rear.

Replying to: accord2008 (Sep 09, 2009 10:48 am) Add me to the list. 2008 Accord LX 29,985 rear brake pads had to be replaced. The wifes 2007 Accord VP with rear drums brakes which I hated but the price was great for the car, has 37,000 miles..no problems.   Honda & Toyota can not rest on their past history of reliability. If I have to replace the rear pad every 30,000 miles or so, it will steer me to another car. This is the kind of stuff that made go away from Chevy!

Replying to: cmiles97 (Sep 09, 2009 1:59 pm) You guys are lucky, there are many 08 Accord owners who were under 20k miles, when the rear pads needed to be replaced. Yes, drum brake shoes will last much longer, than rear pads. With rear drums though, the front is doing most of the work, and you will have much more nose dive when braking. I wish frequent brake pad changes were the only thing wrong with my Chevy. The 08 Accord is much larger/heavier than previous Accords, and will wear the pad material quicker, simple as that. If you want the pads to last longer, you might want to try some aftermarket semi-matalic or ceramic pads.

Replying to: accord2008 (Sep 09, 2009 10:48 am) I contacted Honda Canada concerning having to pay for rear brake pads and they are going to give me a credit for my expenses( approximately $80) Yes brakes are a wear and tear item, however, all cars with rear disk brakes are not having this problem, must be a design flaw
#151 of 198 92 Honda Accord rear disc brakes. by 94shadow Sep 11, 2009 (4:24 pm)
Hello all,   Is it possible to install disc brakes on the rear of a 92 Honda Accord 4 dr. sendan LX. What type of parts would I need and how difficult is it to install. My car has drum brakes on the rear. Disc on the front. Thanks, 94shadow Replies to this message: elroy5 (Sep 11, 2009 9:26 pm)

Replying to: 94shadow (Sep 11, 2009 4:24 pm) Yes, my 92 EX had rear disk brakes, and ABS (which saved me a couple times). You would need rotors, calipers, and probably different emergency brake cable hookups and hoses. If you could find an old EX in a junkyard, you could get the parts cheap.
