I think I get plenty of value with my '06 Civic...one doesn't need to buy a German luxo car to get value...this is a subjective quality at the very least. We have 4 Asian models in our current stable and I think we get tremendous value with them...so I don't understand your BMW statement. If my Civic had these brake issues, I'd be pissed off also but each model in a company is different, so making a blanket statement wouldn't work for me.
 
My last Nissan had such a problem that once the warranty ended, the car was gone. But my kid bought one last year & it's been flawless to date. Great car & fun to drive. I gave Nissan another chance and things are fine!

It sounds like your vehicle has already had certain costs associated with it.
 
Actually, no. I just paid $48 for a transmission fluid change 64k miles. Air filters (cabin filter and engine air filter), 20 bucks, 30k and 60k miles. I put tires on the car at 50k, high performance Bridgestones at $576 mounted and aligned. Oil changes cost $30 every 7k miles or so. That's it, honestly. Does BMW pay for tires?
 
My maintenance costs have amounted to less than $1,000 in 57 months and 64k miles. I think that's quite good.

Same with my '06 Civic...1 set of tires, front brakes, 5 oil changes with the 1st 2 being free, an air filter & a set of wipers in the last four years...a pretty inexpensive deal for a great car! Will not hesitate to buy another Honda...very satisfied customer!

Anyone have info regarding squeaky brakes on a 2010 accord coupe. My were making noises for a while before I went to the dealer who said I needed all new brakes and the rotors needed to be resurfaced. BTW the car had 8200 miles when the work was performed! I'm not hard on brakes and hope this doesn't occur again. Dealer stated that the brakes must have been defective.

Can you determine if it is front or rear brake noise? If not, try gently applying your emergency brake while driving (in a safe spot). If you hear no noise, it's probably a front brake issue. Otherwise, you should hear the noise when applying the emergency brake. If it's due to front brakes, there is a TSB out addressing this which should be covered by warranty (also addressed front brake judder). I had mine done at no cost to me. Not sure what exact work the TSB recommended. Mine (2009 Accord sedan- 4 cyl) started squealing at 3,000 miles. If it's rears, it's probably the premature wear issue, although 8200 miles sounds a little premature for that. I have 27000 miles on mine and still haven't had to replace the rears, although I probably will have to by 35 to 40K miles. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Yes 8200 miles is awful low for new brakes and rotor cuts. It was front brakes only and dealer repaired for free. Hopefully if was just defective pads causing the problem and I hope it doesn't repeat.

I have a relevant post over in the 2008 maintenance discussion thread. I've had LOTS of problems with the front brakes on my 08 4-cyl EX-L. Like yours, my problems started right at 8K when I first noticed that the rotors were warping. I had my first front brake job at 12k (machined rotors and work on th pads) and have had identical problems every 10-15k since. I now have 50k on my 08 Accord and it is due for it's 4th front-end brake job. Like you, I'm easy on my brakes, driving 80-85% level highway miles.
 
Before this most recent problem, I had all the work done at my dealership and they did everything under warranty. However, at 50k, they told me they can no longer do courtesy warranty work and so I called Honda of America. Just last week Honda agreed to help me out. They are going to pay for all new rotors and back brake pads (the back pads are replaced under the recall). I will pay for the front pads and they will cover all labor costs. Unfortunately, I had to be VERY persistent in order for them to agree to do this for me. Of course, all front pads and rotors have already been replaced once, so I have no doubt that this whole thing will happen again in 10-15k miles. At that point, it's either a new vehicle for me, or a totally new, after-market brake package.

You could have callipers that are sticking (not completely releasing or not sliding on the pins). If so, the callipers will ruin any rotors you put on the car, aftermarket or oem. Since not all 08 Accords have front brake problems, I think you either have bad callipers, or your brakes are not being assembled correctly. Aftermarket rotors and pads may not solve your problem. Or maybe you are one of those people who likes to ride with your foot on the brake pedal.
