SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD NEW 2/2010. I'VE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS & GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS DESPITE WHAT HONDA RECOMMENDS. AFTER HEARING A MILD GRINDING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME DIRT/PEBBLE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 35,000 MI. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES W/ OTHER HONDA CUSTOMERS. I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BELIEVED THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THE HONDA BRAKE PADS. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE 80% LIFE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY PREVIOUS CARS W/ MILEAGE UNDER 55,000. I STARTED MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AFTERWARDS & FOUND THE 2010 HONDA CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE REAR BRAKES ON SPECIFIC YRS OF THE HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR BRAKES. HONDA ACCORD BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST UP TO 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIR DEADLINE & ELIGIBILITY INCLUDED BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITH HONDA BRAKE PADS & INSTALLATION OF THOSE BRAKE PADS WITHIN 3 YRS OF WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST SOLD. I'VE OWNED MY ACCORD FOR 4 YRS & I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS W/ AFTERMARKET PADS. SINCE I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO WRITE HONDA OR GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT, I OPTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE W/ OTHER CONSUMERS, RATHER THEN REMAIN SILENT & FRUSTRATED. I DOUBT I'LL MAKE ANY PROGRESS W/ CONTACTING HONDA. I TRULY ENJOY MY HONDA ACCORD & ITS PERFORMANCE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED W/ HONDA & THEIR LACK OF COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION & RESOLVING AN INFERIOR PART ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS NOTED W/ ALL THE ONLINE CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION. HONDA HAS FORCED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE, REFUSING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF A COSTLY, EXTREMELY, PREMATURE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. *TR

SEATS
THE VEHICLE SEAT OFFER NO COMFORT OR SUPPORT, BUT ACTUALLY INFLICT SEVERE AND IMMEDIATE BACK AND HIP PAIN. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ONLY 15 MILES IN THE INTERSTATE, I HAD BACK PAIN FOR 2 DAYS. I DON'T WANT TO GET IN MY OWN CAR I JUST PURCHASED. I WANT TO TAKE IT BACK. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED? HOW CAR A VEHICLE THAT CAUSES INJURY CONTINUE TO BE SOLD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE A FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A REPAIR. I WANT MY MONEY AND MY HEALTH BACK! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL. IF IT IS UNDER 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST DRIVEN AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE. I AM NOW LOOKING AT REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND CHECK VALVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR WILL STOP OR NOT WHEN I AM DRIVING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, HONDA HAD RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR. SEVERAL PEOPLE IN FORUMS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES. PERHAPS YET ANOTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER FOR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I FOUND THAT HONDA ACCORD HAS RECALLS. I GOT MY OIL CHANGE IN APRIL/MAY - 2013 FOR MY HONDA ACCORD AND HONDA DEALER FOUND EVERYTHING GOOD AND BRAKES WERE CLOSE TO 8 (ON THE BRAKE MEASURING SCALE) ON ALL THE WHEELS. IN JUST 2 MONTHS, THE REAR BRAKE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND THEN I CAME ACROSS THE HONDA ACCORD BRAKE RECALL ISSUE. NOW I HAVE GOT THE REPAIR DONE AND SENT THE DETAILS TO HONDA. HONDA IS DENYING THE REIMBURSEMENT SAYING THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL IN THE RECALL CATEGORY (THEY HAVE SELECTED SOME VINS WHICH MEETS THOSE CONDITIONS). MY QUESTION IS HOW HONDA CAN DECIDE WHICH VINS HAVE THE PROBLEMS AND WHICH DOES NOT HAVE UNTIL PEOPLE REPORT THEM. ANYWAY, I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA ABOUT NOT REIMBURSING THIS REPAIR COST. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD TIRES ROTATED AT 36K MILES AND FIRESTONE ADVISED ME OF IRREGULAR WEAR ON MY RIGHT REAR BRAKES. THE BRAKE PAD RUBS CONSTANTLY BASED ON A CALIPER AND ROTOR MALFUNCTION. I VERIFIED RECALLS PERTAINING TO MY HONDA AND FOUND NO RELEVANT INFORMATION; HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THERE IS A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH PREMATURE AND IRREGULAR WEAR. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY BRAKE COMPONENTS LEADING TO UNWARRANTED SAFETY VULNERABILITIES AND EXCESSIVE CONSUMER EXPENSES. *TR
