2008 honda accord according to repair records has had the front brakes repaired twice since i bought the car 7 months ago. being told all 4 rotors are warped but it is not a safety issue. i only noticed it because of the excessive shimmering and shaking when i applied the brakes. the fix was to refinish the rotors, but at some point this option will no longer be able because of the specs of the rotor so then i will be forced into replacing them at an approximate cost of $150 a rotor. how is it possible that any part of a system designed to stop your vehicle is not a safety issue. *tr
I bought a new 2008 honda accord exl-6 vehicle. i have 72,000 miles on it, mostly highway driving. i've had my rear brakes replaced twice. the dealer tried to tell me 30,000 is average for brakes. also had all my spark plugs replaced. # 3 went bad and they suggested i replace all of them. again, telling me 70,000 miles is average for spark plug replacement. i was charged full price for all work done, i've even paid for the extended warranty and that didn't cover the spark plugs either. i wouldn't even take my car to the honda dealer but since i foolishly paid for the extended warranty, i'm afraid that will become null and void if any other mechanic touches my car for any reason. first and last honda i will ever purchase. i'd like to know if there is anyway i can find out if i'm entitled to a refund for brakes & spark plugs. just spent almost $600 having the two replaced. *js

I am the original owner of this honda accord. at 28,000 miles, the rear brake pads are prematurely worn out. i was notified of this problem during annual state safety inspection. the inspector said the rear brake pads will need to be replaced within the next six months. there is no problem with the front brakes. *tr
Premature brake and rotor wear had to replace within 46,000 miles. *tr
The rear brakes wear out permaturely and need to be replaced every 8,000 to 10,000 miles. this is a safety issue. *tr
It appears that the 2008 honda accord was equipped with defective/wrong fitting rear brakes. my accord was no exception. when your rear brakes are worn out at 15000 miles and they go before the front ones do, something is definitely wrong. honda will not accept any type of responsibilty. i only hope/pray that no one is injured or killed because of their defective product. *tt
Premature failure of rear brake pads.
The complaint i had with the vehicle is that the brakes wore out way before what is usually expected of their normal life. at 22,000 i could barely hear an audible high-pitched sound. at 25,000, when i took it in for routine servicing, i was informed that the brake pads were worn down to less than 2/32 and that the rivets on the pads were scoring the rotors and it was needing a complete brake job. i felt this was rapid wear and after reading comments from other honda owners found there may have been engineering issues with the brake system stemming from an"enhancement" and redesign of the brake system.
