For all those like me with a 2008 Accord Coupe or Sedan with the isssue of the front end "vibration or steering wheel shimmy" at approx. 60 mph and above take note. I have called Honda to register my complaint and issues with my '08 Accord Coupe. It is imperative that everyone that has this problem to call Honda's Corporate office and they will take your complaint and register it. This is the first step toward getting Honda's attention. The more owners that do this, the more of a case all of us will have, and something they will be more inclined to listen to. If they don't have the active complaints on file, then they can say "we are not hearing much about this issue." Calling the complaint line will not give you an instant fix. BUT, it is the start to get their "complaint book" filled up with the same problem, and for them to see it's not just an isolated issue. Take care....and call Honda!! |

I have confirmed today with Honda, that a new parts kit is coming out...I believe consisting of new calipers and pads to help correct the premature wear of the rear brakes on 08 Accords.... Not sure how far this will reach...meaning to 09's....not sure. It's not a warranty item...BUT....if you have been to your dealer with premature brake pad wear....Honda will install the new rear brake kit at NO CHARGE to you. If you have already paid to have this done, you will be re-imbursed. This was told to me from the Honda corporate office. Not sure just when this program will start. By Dec. I believe. So, they have officially recognized that there is a problem and they are going to correct it. Now, we need enough complaints called in to Honda about the front end/steering wheel shimmy, then maybe we can get some action on that issue too. They respond when enough owners "call in" to make a complaint. Just doing it through your dealer wont do. Understand how they work. CALL HONDA DIRECTLY....and they will assign a complaint #, day, date, and the exact issue you are having. |

Replying to: blondebrickie (Oct 28, 2009 6:11 am) For all those that went to Meineke to get life time warranties on new brakes......It's quite possible you might have made a mistake. They tend to put on shoes that are too hard and thus wear down the rotors, and then cause you greater expense with premature rotor wear. Just something to think about!!

Replying to: v8growl (Oct 28, 2009 7:58 am) Luckily I had my laptop and googled it....found a website called carcomplaints I believe and found over 500 cases. I may be blonde but I'm not a dumbie  Any clue as to what I bought and will Honda reimburse me and replace what the Honda Dealer put on my car? Maybe I should have bought a Ford! |

I am about to have my second set of rear brakes replaced on my 2008 Accord. Each set lasted less than 17,000 miles. We all need to call Honda 1-800 phone line and write letters to every agency like the NHTSA and any State consumer protection agency. Honda needs to have a certain number of complaints registered before they will act --- or so they say! CALLLLLLL and complain.
