Brake premature wear causing brakes not to work properly,talk to dealer and they say i have brakes fixed and submit to honda and they might reimburse me for the repair is this honda's and the dealers way to make more money. that's why i think we should look at american made cars when we buy from now on . nothing like the good old u.s.of a. go ford. *tr

Had to replace rear brake pads front fine, right rear completely worn down left fine. *tr

Rear brake wear signal indicator stated to squeal and make scraping sounds. inspection reveals excessive wear on right rear brake. dealer told me on 09/13/2011, brakes are warranted for 1 year or 12,000 miles only and no warranty service would be made available. dealer informed me on 09/13/2011 that a form will be provided, as a result of law suit. that would reimburse me $150.00. how can a lawsuit be successful without a safety recall? *tr

Very loud grinding metal on metal when light or hard braking. its seized caliper according to the mechanic to fix this not covered under warranty. also said the back should last at least 40 -70k lasted only 19k of very easy miles. *kb

2009 honda accord. consumer writes to express discontent related to brake repairs and unwanted ac service at local dealer *tgw the consumer stated there was a strange smell coming from the ac. the dealer stated they added a deodorizer in the ac. the consumer was informed the smell would disappear in a few days, but it had not. it only seemed to get worse. the dealer informed the consumer, she was not the first person to complain, but it was because of mold. the consumer requested the ac to be flushed to get rid of the odor as she never requested it to begin with. *jb

My '09 honda accord started having brake noises at under 20k miles. upon taking in the first time at 22k miles i was told the car needed new rear brake pads and resurfacing already. after much complaining (because brakes aren't usually a warranty item, and this was prior to the class action settlement) they did repair and replace them for free. 1 year later i began experiencing a shimmy when braking on the freeway or especially on a hill, and was told then that the front rotors are now magically "warped". i dealt with it for a while, but then recently began hearing the metal on metal sound of the rear pads going out again. sure enough, upon taking to the dealer we purchased the vehicle from, it does in fact now need rear pads again at 46k miles, as well as front rotor resurfacing....which now i'm also told you can't use the front pads anymore when you resurface the rotors. so essentially, i'm replacing both front and rear brakes(rear brakes for the second time), and resurfacing for the second time at only 46k miles. naturally, the honda service department people don't care and won't cover anything under warranty even though this is clearly a well known honda defect. sorry honda, but you just lost a customer who has owned 4 hondas up to this point. *tr

Front brakes on this model are prematurely going out. i have 21,000 miles and they are terrible! someone is eventually going to get hurt. transmission is also acting up since the time i bought the car. i have complained six times about both issues but to no avail.

My 09 accord began making horrible metal on metal screeching sound out of the blue at 24,900 miles. took it in for checkup and was told my rear rotors needed to be replaced due to manufacturer error caused by caliper slides being frozen and too much brake pressure applied to rear brakes. was told by technician that he has seen many accords with the same problem of manufacturer error. i am very disappointed as i was not and have not been made aware of this problem by honda.

My honda accord 2009 is only 33, 216 miles, less than 2 years old but the abs has problem, i have to replace wheel speed sensor, honda does not cover because the warranty is over. i have never had abs problem with my 2002 accord that has mileage is over 100,000. i would like to report this issue as abs malfunction. *tr

Vehicle has been consuming oil since purchased with 9,500 miles. oil consumption has contributed to fouled spark plugs. fouled spark plugs triggered "cylinder #3 misfire" code and extremely poor performance at highway speeds. two different occasions the car experienced different cylinder misfire issues. honda dealer performed engine computer software updates on two different occasions that did not remedy the oil consumption issue. no warning lights to indicate that the engine was 3 quarts low on oil. if the consumer is not aware that the vehicle is using oil, there is potential for the engine to seize causing costly repairs or to lose power in a dangerous situation. dealer is now performing honda oil consumption test. according to honda, consuming 1 quart of oil in 1,000 miles is normal and acceptable. this burned oil is being released into the environment as evidenced by the black carbon on the tail pipes. it is hard to believe that a leading car manufacturer would deem oil consumption in a brand new vehicle as normal or acceptable. this is the first vehicle out of 12 that i have ever owned that consumed oil. even vehicles with over 200,000 miles did not consume oil. i purchased a honda so that i did not have to worry about reliability or break downs for many years. now i have to worry with checking the oil every week as to not get low or run out. same vehicle has also had premature rear brake pad wear and had to be replaced at 60,000 miles. complaint has been filed with american honda. class action lawsuits have been filed against honda over the premature rear brake pad wear and the oil consumption issues.

Rear brake pads wore prematurely as per class action suit notification we received in 2010. upon inspection for routine maintenance (no other signs of a problem occurred) found that the rotors were also ruined and required repair. honda seems ready to wash their hands of the situation because of the class action settlement and would not pay for rotor replacement, at least that is what the dealer indicated. total cost of repair was $337. not happy and the second problem with the vehicle on a critical safety system (front wheel bearings went and were replaced by honda at about 20,000 mi). i'm concerned there will be ongoing critical failures if our experience with this accord is any indication of what is to come. *tr

I went to take my 2009 honda accord exl coupe 2.4l 4cyl. for routine oil change in the course the advisor at the oxala service desk said that my rear brakes are in severe change and rotor replacement. i said that the car has 33,000 miles. he said this happens. i found out in the showroom waiting for my car that there was a class action lawsuit for the 2009 accord brake problem. i removed my car took elsewhere to check it out only to find the break pads and the rotors needed changing as well . i went ahead for the repair so that i would be safe. to find out that month earlier i had an accident by not being able to stop even with time to stop the vehicle needless to say i had an accident. i believe that my brakes locked up due to manufactures defect of the onboard braking system. i should get reimbursed for the repair. the parts on the car were defective. if this is the care i should have compensation from the auto accident as well. *tr

In june 2009 i purchased a 2009 honda accord. at 10,000 miles i was told i needed to replace my rear brake pads. after i complained barber honda changed my brakes for free. now i have 27,000 miles on my vehicle and once again my rear brake pads need to be replaced. i was told by barber honda that i would be responsible to pay for my new brake pads. i was also told it was normal wear and tear. i've had many cars in my life and have never had to replace the rear brakes even once w/27,000 miles on it much less twice. at this rate i will have to replace the rear brakes once a year at $150 each time. *tr

At about 20,000, our 2009 honda accord (v6) started having rear brake noises. we took it to the west covina dealership and they said the rear pads were worn and needed replacing. i said that is very premature to have rear pads wear out so soon and they said it is normal and would not consider any warranty replacement or discount as it was normal wear and tear. we took it to our local independent shop and had them replaced. strange that it was both inner pads that had worn out--the outers had about 50% life left.*tr

Under normal use, rear brake pads fail at an alarming rate. my original pads were completely gone at 15,000 miles. now the second set of pads is worn out at 30,000 miles. front pads seem to be barely worn, and are original to the car. *tr

I want to add my name to the list of people with defective brakes on their 2009 accords. my brakes started squeaking like mad at about 17000 miles. it is unbelievable to me that honda would not issue a recall, knowing that their rear brake pads are defective. they acknowledge this fact by making a replacement pad different from the original pad. to charge customers any amount of money for their defective product in simply unthinkable on honda's part. *tr

Since the first incident i have had a clicking noise coming from the ac on the right side vent on my 2009 honda accord. it is october of 2011 and the dealer has now replaced the same blower motor 3 times. it alleviates the issue, only for it to return. the dealer has no other explanation. also, i have replaced 2 door actuator motors. this car was bought in december of 2009 and it is october of 2011. i will not buy another honda due to having issues occur repeatedly and so soon after a new purchase. obviously brakes have to be fixed again and again. *tr

Brakes were squeaking within the first six months but we were told nothing was wrong when taken in for regular warranty-covered checks. started noticeable shimming when brakes were applied and took in for check at 39,000 miles. ended up replacing rotors, brakes and rear bearing. the rear bearing alone cost $198. all in all, our bill came to $667.73. we've taken the car in to the dealer for repair of carpet pulling away in front passenger side; vibration noise on back dashboard (or whatever you'd call the shelf behind passenger seats); driver door handle stick problem, steering wheel clicking noise. purchased honda after being recommended by so many satisfied customers/friends. invested more then we planned but thought it was worth the investment; disappointed in quality of parts and repair work. *tr

I own a 2009 ex honda accord. took car to get normal maintenance at 14,000 miles to my honda dealership when they told me that my back brakes were almost worn down to needing replaced. a couple months later i took my car in for a normal maintenance at 21000 miles and said my back brakes needed replaced. now i am stuck paying $250 for back brakes on a year and ahalf old accord. even though honda will give me up to $150 back. i think that they should recall the vehicle and pay for the full price. also this is a safety issue if people don't know if there brakes are bad!!! very disappointed in honda and may not buy honda vehicles anymore!!! *tr
