#94 of 198 Re: Honda brake problems. by jud2 [elroy5] by alexinto Sep 11, 2007 (7:23 am)
Replying to: elroy5 (Feb 18, 2007 8:03 pm) I have a 2004 honda Accord V6 I am on my 4th set of rear brakes. I am wondering if there is some time of engineering that is causing this issue. Never have I had to replace the brake pads on 110,000 klm car 4 times.

Replying to: alexinto (Sep 11, 2007 7:23 am) You've got something wrong having to have replace rear brakes 4 times on a 2004. I don't think I've replaced 4 total sets of brakes on all my vehicles over the years with at least a million miles driven, and I don't switch out vehicles until typically 8-12 years old.   Sounds like you have something hung up where it's not releasing the rear brakes. Could also potentially be that your fronts aren't working (forcing the rears to do all of the braking), but I'd expect you would be skidding under any heavy braking need....and even then you shouldn't have gone thru 4 sets of brakes.   The rears normally do very little braking. When you are stopping the car weight is shifted to the front giving the front tires superior traction, and the weight shifts away from the rear giving those tires poor traction. As a result, the brake systems are configured that there is minimal hydraulic pressure to the rear and creates highest pressure to the fronts, so the fronts do the majority of all stopping.   You will need to get this to a competent mechanic for resolution, not a typical corner brake swap shop.

Replying to: alexinto (Sep 11, 2007 7:23 am) I have an 03 V6 and I just checked the pads out over the weekend at 48,000 miles, and they are worn, but will easily make it to 50,000 miles (don't know what that translates into for km). I have heard the emergency brakes can be set too tight, and not fully release the rear brakes. You should have it checked out, or you will probably need rotors soon. good luck

Replying to: alexinto (Sep 11, 2007 7:23 am) I am having the exact same problem with my 2006 Honda accord. I have had my Honda for less than two years and will be going into my second set of rear brakes. I already changed them back in december at 15K miles and was told that I will have to change them again at my next service. My current mileage is 25K! I've had other cars before and have never changed my brakes so much in my life. I questioned them about it and they tell me that the rear brakes wear down faster around 15K-20K. But doesn't this sound a little strange?

#99 of 198 wear. by stickguy Dec 16, 2007 (6:41 pm)
Just had my '05 EX-L (4 cyl/manual) in for it's 2 year, 20K service.   Brakes checked out at 10mm pad thickness front, 9mm rear 9same on both sides).   Anyone know what new pads are, and what is considered replacement level (wear bar time)?   Only brake problem I have is some groaning/grinding at low speeds when the car is cold, but I think it might just be surface rust of glazing that nees to get burned off. I rarely ever get the brakes hot enough to probably clean them off.

Replying to: stickguy (Dec 16, 2007 6:41 pm) 10mm front, and 9mm rear, that's about what the thickness would be on a new set.   Mrbill Replies to this message: viet (Dec 16, 2007 11:01 pm) thegraduate (Dec 20, 2007 12:44 pm) viet (Sep 27, 2009 7:08 am)

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Dec 16, 2007 9:48 pm) If you do not overuse Honda brakes they last about 45K - 50K Miles. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 20, 2007 12:44 pm) viet (Sep 27, 2009 7:08 am)
#102 of 198 use by stickguy Dec 17, 2007 (6:15 am)
I always thought that the brakes lasted longer on a manual tranny car anyway.   So 20K with no rotor issues and practically no wear is a pretty good sign!
#103 of 198 Re: wear. [viet] by thegraduate Dec 20, 2007 (12:44 pm)
Replying to: viet (Dec 16, 2007 11:01 pm) Ha, with a fair amount of highway use, my front brakes on my '96 Accord lasted 131k miles, and still have the orginal rear drums with 177k miles!
