I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD ON OCTOBER 27TH, 2010 AT 227 MILES. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUES UNTIL THIS MONTH WHEN MY BRAKES BEGAN TO WARE PREMATURELY AT ONLY 11K MILES. I HAD REVIVED A CLASS ACTION LETTER INFORMING ME OF THIS BUT SEE IT AS A CLEAR SAFETY VIOLATION ON HONDA'S PART ONE AS THEY HAD KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF MODEL AND TWO AS THEY REFUSE TO PERFORM WORK AND REPLACE THE ITEM WITH ISSUES UNDER WARRANTY. I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THAT HONDA IS MAKING ME PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THEY KNOW ITS THERE DESIGN FLAW. *TR

2009 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED TO WEAR PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF CALIPER PINS THAT WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. HONDA HAS A COURT HEARING ON THIS AND YOU CAN SEE MORE INFO ON WWW.ACCORDSETTLEMENT.COM. THE CONSUMER WHO PURCHASED OR LEASED ONE OF THESE CARS WILL BE REIMBURSED $100 - $150 TO REPLACE THE PADS, BUT THE GENERAL PRICE TO DO THIS AT THE AUTHORIZED HONDA SERVICE CENTERS IS SOMETIMES DOUBLE THAT. THE CONSUMER IS BEING RIPPED OFF, AND THE NHTSA SHOULD STEP IN AND RECTIFY THIS. *TR

INTERMITTENT SCRAPING SOUND FROM REAR OF 2009 ACCORD LX-P <20,000 MI. INCREASED FREQUENCY OVER TIME. TOOK TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED WHO REPLACED BOTH REAR BRAKE PADS (OLD PARTS NOT AVAILABLE) AND RESURFACED BOTH REAR ROTORS FOR A COST OF $250 - DECLAIRED NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. INTERNET RESEARCH AND NOTIFICATION OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS REAR BRAKE FAILURE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SPECIFIC HONDA AND ACCURA MODELS. I CONTEND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAVE DEVISED (BUT NOT DELIVERED TO DEALERS AS YET) A REPLACEMENT SET OF BRAKE PADS. ALSO THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE BOTH REAR BRAKE PADS WERE AT ZERO PAD LIFE REMAINING AND ROTORS WERE DAMAGED PER THE DEALER SERVICE TECHS. THAT MEANS TO ME THAT MY ACCORD HAD ONLY 1/2 THE DESIGNED BRAKING ABILITY WHICH WAS ENGINEERED FOR THIS CAR - MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE IN ANY EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER IN 2009 HONDA ACCORD WON'T WORK. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY SAY A ROCK HIT THE CONDENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED IN FRONT BEHIND THE OPENINGS IN THE BUMPER WITHOUT ANY SCREEN OR PROTECTION. THEY DO NOT COVER IN WARRANTY AND WE HAVE TO FILE WITH OUR INSURANCE WHICH MAY RAISE THE COST. SOMEONE MY HUSBAND WORKS WITH HAS THE SAME YEAR ACCORD AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO THEM AND HONDA WILL NOT COVER. SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS COSTING CONSUMERS AND THEIR INSURANCES MONEY. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES OF MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 BEGAN MAKING A TERRIBLE SCRAPING NOISE. HONDA CLAIMED I HAD LEFT THE PARKING BRAKE ON WHILE I DROVE IT. I HAD NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAD DRIVEN 20,000 HIGHWAY MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT THINK I WORE OUT THE REAR BRAKES. IT WAS REPAIRED 5/24/2010. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I REC.'D A NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR REAR BRAKES. WHY IS HONDA NOT REPAIRING THE BRAKES FOR FREE? *TR

UPON LEASING A 2009 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED AN AUDIBLE SQUEAKING SOUND EMITTED BY BOTH REAR BRAKES. THIS SOUND IS CLEARLY HEARD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND VEHICLE'S SPEED IS BELOW 25 MILES PER HOUR. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS REASSURED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR NEW BRAKES ON HONDA ACCORDS AND THAT OVER TIME THE SOUND WOULD STOP. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR WAS AT LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE WORN TO 2 MMS. SIMILARLY FRONT BRAKES ARE PREMATURELY WORN AND ARE MEASURED AT 6 MMS. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2008-2009 HONDA ACCORD BRAKING SYSTEM. HONDA IS OFFERING A REPLACEMENT OF REAR BRAKES, BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE WHETHER THIS WILL SOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR
