Anonymous, NJ (2006 Honda Accord LX 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The rotors seem to fail prematurely by rusting quite a bit."
Anonymous, (2006 Honda Accord EX 3.0-L V6)"At about 18000 miles the brake pedal would vibrate when coming to a high speed stop. On a steep down grade, the vibration and shaking became so severe, the steering wheel shook rather violentlyl. The dealer put new pads a rotors on the car. After about 20000 miles, the same problem returned. I took it to an independent brake repair shop. New pads were put on and rotors turned. After about 18000 miles, the vibration and shaking returned but not as bad. I think Honda cut back on costs on this car by reducing the pad sizes and the rotor quality. We only use the car for around town now."
