SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN SCREECHING OF REAR BRAKES AND SHORT AFTER GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING. TOOK CAR TO GET BRAKES CHECKED AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS DUE TO CALIPERS STICKING AND MAKING INTERIOR PADS WEAR OUT COMPLETELY WHILE EXTERIOR PADS WHERE STILL GOOD. ROTORS WORN TO OR BELOW MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS. WILL HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH REAR ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS OR CALIPERS ON ANY CAR, NOT EVEN WITH 86K MILES ON THEM AND ON THIS 2009 HONDA ACCORD EX-L I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AT 46,413 MILES? THIS IS NOT GOOD! HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR ALL EXPENSES AND PARTS. LOWEST QUOTE TO REPLACE WITH OEM IS APPROXIMATELY $750.00 WHAT WOULD THE COST BE IF I WOULD OF NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND CHECK THE BRAKES? *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING UP I-95 NORTH IN ABOUT WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA AT ABOUT 60-65MPH. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND A LOUD WIND SOUND AS IF THE WINDOW WAS OPEN. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULLED BACK MY SUNROOF SHADE, COME TO FIND THAT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE SHADE BACK AND DROVE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DID NOT WITNESS ANYTHING HITTING MY CAR, THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DETERMINE IS THAT I HAD MY HEATER TURNED ON HIGH BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD THAT DAY. MY ASSUMPTION IS THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES AND PRESSURE THAT CAUSED MY SUNROOF TO SHATTER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO HONDA TODAY FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED REAR BRAKES. I WAS A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT TWO YEARS AGO TO THIS DAY WHEN I HAD TO HAVE MY REAR BRAKES REPLACED WITH A "NEW IMPROVED" PAD. I HAD 16,527 MILES THEN AND NOW I HAVE 35,859 AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THESE ARE REAR BRAKE PADS AND SHOULD LAST MUCH MORE THAT 17,000 MILES. DUE THIS ISSUE, MY ROTORS WERE DAMAGED BY THESE "NEW AND IMPROVED" BRAKES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER AND NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. TWO SETS OF REAR BRAKES BEFORE 36000 IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH THE CAR VIBRATES AS IF THE WHEELS WERE OUT OF BALANCE. HAVE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCED TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH WITH NO CHANGE. HAD THE CAR ALIGNED WITHIN THE PAST MONTH AND DEALER SAYS THERE WAS NO CHANGE. A NEW SET OF MICHELIN MXM4 PRIMACY TIRES WERE INSTALLED IN APRIL 2012. JUST RETURNED FROM A 3000 MILE TRIP AND FOUND THE VIBRATION TO BE VERY ANNOYING. THIS IS A HONDA ACCORD 4DR EX-L V-6 HELP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SERVICE PERSON SAYS I NEED REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND THE ROTORS CUT. I COMPLAINED THAT THE WEAR WAS TOO PREMATURE AND SHOULD BE A SUBJECT OF MANUFACTURER'S RECALL AND SHOULD BE FREE OF CHARGE. AFTER TALKING TO TWO OTHER PERSONNEL AT THE FINDLAY HONDA HENDERSON I GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. IT MUST BE MY DRIVING HABITS THAT I BRAKE HARD. OF COURSE I KNOW I DON'T. THE OTHER GUY SAYS IT'S NORMAL WEAR. I'VE HAD SEVERAL CARS AND THE NORMAL WEAR IS BEYOND 60K MILES. I'LL NEVER BUY HONDA EVER AGAIN AND WILL VOLUNTEER TO ALL NOT TO BUY HONDA CARS. I'LL ALSO PUT A SIGN ON MY REAR WINDSHIELD OF THE POOR QUALITY OF THE BRAKES. COST OF BRAKE JOB-$200. MILEAGE 32586. *TR

THERE WAS GRINDING NOISE FOR COUPLES DAYS ON AND OFF. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED AT LOCAL DEALER AND REAR BRAKE HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS ONLY AT 22K MILES. CONSIDERING THAT ACCORD IS FWD, I WAS WONDERING WHY REAR BRAKE WORN OUT MUCH FASTER THAN TYPICAL LIFE TIME OF BRAKE PADS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND DASHBOARD INDICATORS. *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER A BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE RESPECTIVE PROBLEM. THE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALER SATISFIED UNTIL JAN 30, 2012, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN, GENERATING SEVERAL OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ON A REDUCED CYLINDER. ON AUGUST 18, 2012, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE DEALER CHARGED HIM $525.43. *JB

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 55-75 MILES AN HOUR, THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. ITS EVEN MORE EVIDENT UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION AS THE SHAKING BECOMES MORE SEVERE. I'VE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY PEP BOYS, MY MECHANIC, AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN AVENTURA, FL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I DID ON THE EDMUNDS.COM FORUM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX?14@@.F197B14/136. *TR
