Hi Kirstie (re 2008 Accord)
just to advise that your readers will get absolutely NO help from Honda or it's dealers! Having had the rear pads renewed twice and the rotors turned twice we are now told that the whole rear end has to be replaced (rotors, calipers and pads, $900!!) Our vehicle goes to a workshop in a relatively small town and the mechanic tells us that 8 other Honda owners have the same problem! I have contacted Honda and of course they are not interested in helping out! We have been told to expect this problem to continue as there are no updated parts to rectify it. Any interested parties should contact me as I am planning a lawsuit!! NEVER again will I buy Honda!!

I just had my back brakes done on my 2010 Accord Coupe at 35,800 miles. The dealership said they were so bad that it was dangerous to be driving with them that way. I was told by several people that the brakes should last at least 60,000 miles. I am with you. I will not buy another Honda either. If you do get a lawsuit going let me know.

My Honda Accord is 2009 from Japan.I can't tell now about my rear pads ,cause only few Kms done and still in good performance,but for 38,800 miles to be renew ..,i can't condemm Honda for that...Everage car has pads to be replaced at that normal 40,000 miles or less,the bad is when you mentioned that also the rear rotor has to be replaced,even in my Peguoet i replaced front discs after 60,000 kms....so the only complains about Honda Accord are the rear pads and the rotor discs....no carin the world is set to be Perfect!!!

Just a note - we don't permit using the forums to organize legal action, so please don't post contact info for a lawsuit in the forums. Thanks!

#400 of 403 2010 Accord Premature Brake Wear by mariejam

I was just told I need new rear brakes on my 2010 Accord (purchased Oct 2009) at 27,071 miles. I spoke with the service manager who gave me a big song and dance about how my driving habits were causing the wear. I told him I was concerned that this was a continuation of the 2008-2009 models premature brake wear problem Honda settled in a lawsuit. I said I wanted to speak with the District Representative. He wouldn't give the contact info for the Rep, but said he'd contact him on my behalf. The next morning the service manager called and offered me 50% off a $200 brake job (replace rear pads). If you have problems, don't hesitate to ask to speak with the District Representative. Be informed and know your rights (you have the right to speak directly with the Rep no matter what the dealership tries to tell you). I'm taking them up on their offer, but am also contacting Honda America directly. This is my first Honda - and my last.

I have serious problems with my rear pads going out every 18K. No wonder Honda settled at the court earlier paying people with brake problems. I will NEVER deal with them again. Last car from Honda. Terrible customer service over a made in China $25 brake pads. They spend millions in commercials then lose them for free online and in social media over a $25 brake pads. Rear brake pads are notorious wearing out 5 times faster. started 10mm both front and rear, 17.5K and fronts are 8mm rear is 2mm (almost touching the rotors) faulty brake pads.

They have terrible customer service. They sound great until tehy sell you the vehicle and then ignore you. I have the same problem. have to change rear pads on my Accord 2010 in just 18K. Fronts are 8mm and rear pads are 2mm. they both started with 10mm new pads. Honda America does nto care. They know the weight is at front and front goes out before rear but they just don't want to replace their faulty brakes. They lost my business over $25 made in china brake pads. This is my last Honda for sure. I will post relentlessly on everywhere to let anyone know what Honda is up to. If you must get a Honda, make sure you get some other manufacturer brake pads. Terrible customer service !!!
