If they haven't treated the car already, doing it yourself is a much better option. In my case, all cars on the lot already had the Xzylon treatment, and charged for the "warranty" that came with it. I wasn't really tickled with the fact that it came with it, after that one incident, I suppose I admit it was worth it to me!
Enjoy your new car!

We have a 09' EXLV6 that had the rear brakes and rotors changed at 1000 miles, the front rotors turned at 9000 miles (was told driver error) and the front rotors and pads at 10.000 mile (lo and behold they admitted that time there is a Honda "fix" coming out. Our son has a 08' with 38,000 with NO ISSUES.??? Seems they should all have it if it was a parts or design problem. If this continues some poor soul will get a used Honda.

Which leads me to believe there are mistakes being made during assembly, or a large batch of defective parts. The fact that they don't ALL do it, means the problem can DEFINITELY be fixed. Either by replacing the defective parts, or assembling the callipers and pads correctly. Good luck, finding the solution.

My 09 has squealing front brakes. I was told after 3 trips to the dealer there is a problem with the brakes and Honda is trying to get a fix. They refused to replace the rotors until the fix is found. It is the same squeal you would get if you had inferior parts, I think they had that happen with a group of the cars. They turned the rotors, it continued to squeal, and then after a few thousand miles the rotors went out of line and I got vibration on my steering wheel. I just returned and they turned them again because they said the fix on the squeal has not been settled by Honda. The saga continues.

They turned your rotors twice? I don't know how turning them would stop squealing. Pulsating brake pedal yes, noise, no. The more material they take off, the shorter life span they will have, and will be more prone to warping. Most of the time I just replace them. Kind of funny how it takes more than one trip to the dealer for them to admit there is a problem and then say Honda is working on a fix. That's what happened after complaining my remotes won't unlock the doors until about the third or more press. Still waiting on that one.

The noise on my 2009 Accord was annoying but I could deal with the noise until a fix was available but yesterday, while driving down out of the mountains in NC and pressing brake, the front end of the car felt like it was going to fall off. Went to dealership (actually typing this in the waiting room) and all 4 rotors need to be turned and being told that a "fix for the squealing" will be available early 2010. Looking at the hundreds of posts I have read while sitting here and after the shaking occurred, this is a much bigger problem than I had thought. I am disgusted that I have to pay for a car that I no longer feel is safe for driving. Until all of the problems are resolved to my satisfaction, I will not allow my wife or children to ride in this vehicle.

I have a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe with 22,600 miles on it and I am about to take my car in again for the rear brakes...they were replaced at 11,000 plus and it looks as if they will have to be replaced again. The wear signal from the rear brakes are making the loud squealing noise when I drive. I Heard that Honda is going to take care of the problem with the brakes and I hope they work with me. I am not a "hard driver" and I can't believe that this will be my 2nd set of brakes within 22,000 miles!!!

Sorry to hear about two sets of brakes. I guess mine aren't that bad yet, actually sitting here waiting for the rotors (all 4) to be turned on my 2009 Accord with less than 12000 miles. This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would recommend opening complaint with BBB. I have just submitted one as well. I am disgusted that I pay for a car and don't even feel safe having my wife/children ride in it.

Brakes and Shakes

Just chiming in on the brake topic. Today I got the front rotors turned at not quite 14K miles to fix the shaking (more like 'quaking') when hitting the brakes moderately hard at high speeds. To their credit the dealer did this under warranty.
Of course I also have had a bit of steering wheel shimmy since day one at various highway speeds (three road force balances minimized it). Add this to the stupid wiper design that pulls water back onto the left side of the windshield in heavy rain, the annoyingly low front 'chin', and the wimpy headlight low beams (fixed by putting in Phillips Extreme bulbs - DOT legal BTW). It remains to be seen what I will buy for the next car in two or three more years.
