SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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

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
