SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REAR BRAKES ARE HAVING TO REPLACED AT 16,000-20,000 MILES, CALLED HONDA DEALER THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS ,THE ENGINEERS PUT REAR BRAKES THAT ARE TOO SMALL ON THE CAR. HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM AND ARE LOGGING COMPLAINTS AT THIS TIME. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE A 6 CYLINDER AND THAT IT IS A HEAVIER CAR THEN THE 4 CYLINDER VERSION. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD TO WORK ON 1/15/10 THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONED THROWING ME INTO THE LEFT LANE THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED BACK AND FORTH ON IT'S ON AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING UNTIL I HIT MY BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS THROWN TO THE RIGHT. I HAD NO NOISE BUT BECAUSE OF THE FORCE INVOLVED THOUGHT I HAD SOMETHING BREAK ON THE FRONT END OR BLEW OUT A TIRE. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED THE TIRES AND SO NO PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END. I DECIDED TO GO ON TO WORK ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND AS OF YET THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY EXPERIENCE AS OF 1/22/10 THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT AFRAID I WILL GET HURT OR HURT SOME ONE ELSE. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE THAT FRIDAY MORNING I WOULD *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO-DATE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,100. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,169.

BRAKES MAKING A NOISE, TURNED ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS, PROBLEM RETURNED IN JAN.10, ROTORS TURNED AGAIN, HONDA SAID FAULTY PADS WAS THE CLAUSE REPLACED ONCE MORE, CALL HAD LESS THEN 4,000 MILES ON IT FIRST TIME, APPROX.7000 SECOND, I THINK ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE MILLED OVER ONCE AND THEN ROTORS REPLACED ,THEY WILL NOT HEAR OF THAT. STRANGE WHINE COMING FROM BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE OF TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE, HONDA CLAIMED SERVICE BULLETIN CALL FOR OIL PUMP TO BE REPLACED, WHICH THEY CHANGE, NO CHANGE IN THE SOUND PLUS NOW THERE IS A LEAK FROM WHERE THEY MADE REPAIR. *TR

EXTREME OVERINTENSITY OF BRAKE LIGHTS ON LATE MODEL HONDA ACCORD SEDANS (THROUGH MY2009) AND TOYOTA CAMRY CARS (THROUGH 2010). THESE LED LIGHTS CAUSE SEVERE EYE DISCOMFORT TO MOTORISTS BEHIND THESE CARS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORD, TRIM LEVEL EX, ENGINE V6 WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM. AT REGULAR SERVICE, DEALER ADVISED REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAD, AT THAT TIME, 16,354 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DETERIORATION IS FOUR TIMES MORE THAN FRONT BRAKE PADS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON ALL 2008 AND 2009 HONDA ACCORDS BUT HAS NEVER NOTIFIED INDIVIDUAL OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM. DEALERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY HONDA TO OFFER OWNERS A PARTIAL REFUND ON BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENTS. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER WOULD AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS EVERY 15,000 MILES OR LESS. HONDA CONTINUES TO SELL THESE CARS NEW WITHOUT ADVISING THE POTENTIAL BUYER THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM. I FEEL HONDA IS ATTEMPTING TO HIDE THE PROBLEM TO AVOID A RECALL AND TO LESSEN THEIR FINANCIAL LIABILITY. RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO ACCEPT LIABILITY. I CONSIDER SUCH PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR EXPOSES THE OWNER TO POTENTIAL BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
I BOUGHT MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX ON DECEMBER 30, 2008. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THAT, MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING A HORRIFIC SQUEAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THEM. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I TAP THEM LIGHTLY OR I PUSH DOWN HARD; THE BRAKES STILL MAKE TERRIBLE NOISES. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ONCE FOR THE BRAKE SOUNDS. ALL THREE TIMES, I ASKED THE ASSOCIATES TO CHECK THE BRAKES. EACH TIME, THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE ADJUSTED (I.E. SANDED) AND THAT THE NOISE SHOULD CEASE. ON THE MY TRIP, I TOLD THEM WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING WASN'T WORKING. IT WAS THEN I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ACCORDS SEEM TO HAVE A BRAKE ISSUE, BUT HONDA IS AWARE AND WORKING ON A SOLUTION. AS OF LAST WEEK, MY CAR IS NOT ONLY MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I BRAKE, IT IS ALSO MAKING A HIGH-PITCHED GRINDING SOUND THAT IS AUDIBLE OVER MUSIC PLAYING ON A LOW VOLUME. THE NOISE OCCURS EVERY DAY, JUST LIKE THE BRAKES' NOISE HAPPENS DAILY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A CAR THAT WAS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD AND IS NOW LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I HAVE A LITTLE OVER 25,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND FEEL EMBARRASSED TO HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT LOOKS SO NICE BUT SOUNDS SO HORRIBLE. I FEAR GOING LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I'M WORRIED MY BRAKES MAY NOT STOP ME IN TIME. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE BRAKES AND REPLACE THEM NOW. HONDA OWNERS SIMPLY DO NOT DESERVE THIS. *TR

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAD 18,000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I BEGAN HEARING A METALLIC SOUNDING NOISE. II TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN TO THE SENSORS. FOR 240 DOLLARS THEY REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES. HONDA PAID HALF AFTER I COMPLAINED. I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS. SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH THE REAR BRAKES ON THE HONDA AND HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD LX 2009. IT MAKES A TREMENDOUS NOISE ON THE BRAKES AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT. I SEE A LONG LIST OF DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING GETTING HELP FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION. I WONDER HOW CAN I GET HELP TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT I AM NOT GETTING A HONDA AGAIN. *TR
