#158 of 198 2009 Honda Accord - 6 Months by chloebee Sep 21, 2009 (6:43 am)
I've read a few postings here and complaints else where. It seems that several people are having the same problems. I've only had my car for 6 months (I have app. 18,000 miles) About two weeks ago I started hearing a squealing sound while driving only. I never heard it when I braked. Very strange if you ask me. I took my car back to Honda and I was told that I needed to replace my rear brakes. I have a far commute to work everyday, fighting traffic etc. and I was thinking that maybe I did need brakes already. I also got a second opinion, just to be safe. I found that I'm in need of rear brakes but only on one side. I have a 97 Honda Accord that I drove to work everyday for 5 years and I never had to replace the brakes that soon. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I'm just comparing the two. My husband and I are really trying to monitor the issue. I'm going to get the brakes fixed at the dealership this weekend. If anybody wants to reply and share their issue or experience, please do so. Thanks! I'm just upset that I haven't had it for year. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Sep 21, 2009 2:44 pm)

Replying to: chloebee (Sep 21, 2009 6:43 am) If your 97 Accord had rear drum brakes, that would explain some of it. The 08+ Accords are obviously wearing the rear pads quickly. Has the dealership offered some discount on the brake service, since it's so early? If the rear brakes didn't last at least 20k miles, I would consider aftermarket pads, and maybe rotors too.

My 2008 Honda Accord has 19,000 miles on it and the rear brakes are very noisy. After reading a long term wrap up on an 08 Accord in Car & Driver magazine they had to replace the rear brakes after 20,000 miles. I know that they are probably metal on metal but I do not have any cash to fix them because I have only made 14 out of my 60 payments! What ever happened to making it to 3 years before they started costing major maintenance cost. You had better look out Honda because if you you are going to build this kind of crap I am going back to ford.

Replying to: hackattack5 (Sep 22, 2009 3:13 am) I suggest checking with the local dealership. They may be willing to help you with the cost. Most dealerships are.

Replying to: hackattack5 (Sep 22, 2009 3:13 am) It's true , Honda is not making high quality brake parts anymore. Brakes are an ongoing problem for Honda. Many complaints of pads wearing out prematurely. My 07 Se recently made a loud metal on metal scraping sound. I took it in and they said my pads were 80+ so I figure it must have been a stuck caliper???? Anyway so far no more issues with the brakes. I drive very conservatively, so when it started that horrible scraping sound I was very shocked to learn it was likely a brake issue. They didn't find anything wrong. The car had about 20K at the time.

Replying to: elroy5 (Sep 22, 2009 2:46 pm) Well I went to the Honda Stealership yesterday. I told them to check the rear brakes because they are probably toast. They were worn out at 23,000 miles. Front brakes were great 7mm left. The service manager told me if I would have brought it in with less that 20,000 miles that Honda would have paid for 1/2 the cost. She told me that because of the class action law suit on the 08 rear brake problem that Honda can not pay for any of mine because the would go against the law suit. I told her that I have not heard about the class action because if I did I would have brought it in at 19,000 miles. So anyone out there with noisy brakes and less than 20,000 miles take it back. The Honda dealer I was using is Honda East in Cincinnati. I asked for the district rep and got the run around on that also. I have had it with Honda and will not buy another. Too bad for them considering I have bought 3 new Honda's since 2005. I swore I never buy another GM in the 80's and look at them now.

#165 of 198 Re: 92 Honda Accord rear disc brakes. [94shadow] by elliott2 Nov 08, 2009 (4:32 am)
Replying to: 94shadow (Sep 13, 2009 11:19 am) While I was waiting for the arbitrator to arrive to discuss the engine on my 2008 Honda Accord, the Honda factory rep asked if we'd had any problems with the rear brakes yet. He stated that the vendor that provided the brakes did not meet Honda's specs for metal content and that the brakes are wearing out prematurely. Kind of explains why Honda Accord didn't make Consumer Reports' list of most reliable cars. (Civic came in next to last in its class size.)

Replying to: elliott2 (Nov 08, 2009 4:32 am) ""Kind of explains why Honda Accord didn't make Consumer Reports' list of most reliable cars"" I am not sure what version of this book you're reading- but perhaps you should put your glasses on and take a closer look. The 2009 CR buying guide still highly recommends the current Honda Accord and Honda Civic. On page 127 of the buying guide the Civic received the second highest rating, as did the Accord V6 on page 129. The Accord and Civic are still on CR's "Good bets" list despite your unfortunate and isolated case.
