Honda Accord Change Vehicle

“Caliper replacement twice in the past 28 months”

“10/14 had calipers replaced during brakes being replaced due to normal wear...Then in March 2015 Brake lights on and engine light. towed to Honda dealer was told it was "2-calipers and both back brakes, needed and brake pads worn badly". Reported n”

“occasional noise”

“Front left caliper froze and had to be replaced”

“left rear caliper froze. it was the original caliper”

“Stuck rear brake caliper. required new rotor + rebuild of the caliper”

“frozen rearcaliper”

“We've kept the car in good repair and were disappointed to find that the brakes were in very poor shape and needed a $3,000 repair”

“eventually the calipers {rear} were replaced on my extended warrantee”

“Faulty caliper system led to brakes failing on and wearing out the rotor as well. Recall issue”

“frequent problems with seized piston and/or slide pins”

“Replaced. (twice)”

“Frozen rear brake caliper, emergency brake wouldn't fully release”

“Front rotors warped, went to change calipers and someone from the factory had installed two different types of calipers on the front end, it had two different sets of brakes on it. Had to fight with the dealership to get it corrected”

“I was aware of the brake problems experienced with the 2008 Honda Accord, but my mechanic assured me they were corrected by using different brake pads. Wear problems now seem about normal”

“The brake pads were worn out and needed to be replaced”

“The brake pads, etc. need replacement more often than my last auto”

“Seems to be a recurring issue as brake pads wear faster than on my previous 1992 Accord”

“Even though brakes were tight they still would squeak/sqeal”

“No problem, have high mileage on car”

“rear brakes wear out first”

“Replacement of brakes, rotors, pads and calipers”

“squeaking noise caused by worn brake pads”

“-regular brake replacement (first time for this vehicle)”

“We have had maybe 4-5 brake jobs in almost 7 years. That seems a little excessive - the brakes would get a "warped" sort of feel a couple of the times and only a brake job would fix it. Could have been the fault of the repair person. Usually has g”

“Rear brakes seem to have a short lifespan”

“front brake pads & rotors . normal wear & tear”

“The rear brakes squealed when I backed up and applied the brake”

“needed brake shoes”

“replaced pads ywice rotots once we do a lot of highway driving”

“Started hearing grinding noises and had to bring to mechanic for evaluation and repair”

“Pretty good breaks. They just seem to wear a tad faster than other breaks”

“Had to replace rear brake pads for second time since new in 2008”

“Need to replace brake pads often”

“I use the parking brake all the time. Had to get the cable adjusted twice recently; seems to be stretching. Never had to replace a parking cable before - $450.00”

“parking brake cabe broke. my back right side wheel locked”

“At 74 years old you can imagine that I've driven a few cars in the past 50 years. Brakes usually last 40 to 50 thoUSnd miles. I have had to replace my pads at 25 thoUSnd and will soon need new ones again”

“The front brakes, pads and rotors lasted 88000miles. I've had to replace the rear dics,and pads 3x, and the rotors 2x. I was told this was "normal"”

“rear brakes; complete service around 30K and again at 50K”

“was told it was my fault by dealer”

“rear pads wore down at about 30,000 miles and cut into the rotors within 3 to 4 days of hearing them starting to squeal. front pads were fine,”

“Rear brake pads wore out VERY prematurely. I check my cars regularly, so it was not a big problem for me, but for others it might be. I replaced the rear pads, and checked the rotors”

“Rear brakes required replacement at 25,000 and 60,000 miles. Past Honda's went 50,000 miles before rear brakes needed replacing”

“Had to relace rear brakes at 20,000 miles”

“rear brake pads were wearing out after 24000 miles. Was told this was normal???”

“Seems like I have to replace the pads a lot. Once per year is excessive in my opinion”

“Had to replace rear brakes every 20K miles 3 times”

“Brakes had to be replaced twice: first time, they had to be done before receiving factory notification of a recall. We were not able to get reimbursed for that cost”

“Excessive brake pad wear. Also problems with premature wear of rear wheel brake drums”

“Rear brake pads had very rapid wear. Honda stiff-armed us when we knew this was a common problem on this car”

“Rear brake pads replaced at 41000 miles. At 61000 miles, rear brake pads again needed to be replaced, along with brake lines, calipers, and rotors. Total cost for both brake jobs $1,100”

“I go easy on the brakes and they still need frequent reapirs. The calipers get stuck and the pads have a short shelf life”

“I just replaced the brakes for the fourth time in 100,000 miles of driving. About 40% of the driving was highway. The brakes were part of a recall on this Honda Accord Sedan EX-L. We missed the 40,000 mile brake recall reimbursement”

“warped disc = vibrating pedal stops with longer distance stops”

“Rear break wear”

“The rear breaks wore down before the car was 1 year old. Since I bought the car, I have had 5 rear brake services”

“The brakes have worn out prematurely multiple times”

“Brakes wear at 15K despite the recall. horrible brake life”

“Rear brakes are defective. They wear 4x the front brakes”

“I felt that brake wear was at a faster rate than I expected. When the car was new, the brakes were replaced by the dealership prematurely. Although the performance now seems better, but I still feel the brakes need replacement more frequently”

“needed to replace both Rotors & Pads after 25000 on rear brakes”

“Every 8 to 12 months, the brakes have to be repaired and usually include replacement of rotors. Cost is between $200 and $700”

“Brake pads required replacement twice, more than any prior vehicle I have owned”

“Seems like we have to repair to often”

“Rear brakes consistently wear at about 3 times the expected rate. It appears to be a problem with the design”

“Every 25000 miles the rear brake pads need to be replaced”

“Car has had brakes replaced many more times then normal”

“Rear brakes replaced prematurely at 35,000 and 72,000 km while front brakes are still in excellent shape”

“Wore out too soon. Less than 20k miles on new brakes”

“rear brake calipers not retracting , resulting in pad wear”

“Something wrong with the callipers that wore into the brakes and basically destroyed them. A friend with a Civic had the same problem. Now squeaks constantly”

“Rear brake pads wore out for the 2nd time. Still have original brakes on the front with 70% of their life remaining”

“The brakes need to be changed after 28,000 miles. Other cars would go 50,000 before changing”

“This is the second break replacement on the car with only 43,000 miles. The first was at 19,000 miles and was partially covered due to a class-action law suit. Knowing that the car is a 2008 and has not been abused in its 42,000 miles we believe that”

“We have had to replace the brake pads on this car 4 times since we purchased it in 2008. My husband thinks the pads are too small for the car”

“Rear pads and rotors wore out in approximately 12000 kilometers worth of driving. Also required a new caliper”

“Again, the brakes appear to wear prematurely even though there is no aggressive driving and braking behaviour involved. And the repair replacement cost is high”

“Fast rotor wear”

“Parking brake froze in a way that caused premature wear on the pads, rotors and the parking brake was ineffective. The brakes were only partially effective creating a safety issue”

“COMPLETE Rear Brake Failure Two (2) times in the last three (3) years”

“rear brake pads wore off prematurely”

“seems to be a grinding noise took it in had fixed but still does the same thing”

“Brakes needed replacing from normal wear”

“Rear brakes needed to be replaced after less than 75,000 miles”

“Roters make the front end Quiver. Brakes makes a strange noise Dealer states brakes are fine. Problem will go away when I replace them”

“Rotors were warped from heavy braking”

“Rotors caused extreme vibration”

“This was not the fault of Honda, the garage we used put the wrong sized rotors on”

“Needed to replace the front rotors due to pulsing brakes. Fixed the problem”

“Rotors cause vibration”

“Parking break locked up rear brakes resulting in replacing rotars”

“rotors warped and premature wear of brake linings”

“Frequent "hot-spotting" on rotors, original and after-market. Causing lots of vibration front and rear. Just had to have the back rotors replaced again”

“Front rotors were warped causing pulsing on braking. The rotors were resurfaced and the pads were replaced”

“Honda changed is brake design in late 2008 and on the 2009 models. We have both of those cars and have had to put brakes in the both twice”

“front rotors warped”

“After some wear on the turned rotors, at speeds above 45 mph, applying brakes causes front-end to shake and shimmy. Repeatedly told nothing wrong with rotors, but I can continue to have them turned at my expense”

“rotors became warped after only normal driving. I had to have the rotors replaced at my expense”

“Had to replace front rotors at about 80000 miles. Works fine now”

“Persistent rear brake rotor vibration. Rotors resurfaced and replaced many times in past. Issue not repaired within the last 12 months”

“Rotors needed resurfaced along with lube of calipers and slider pins”

“Have the Honda Shimmy when applying breaks due to warped rotors”

“They wear out too quickly”

“Had to replace the front rotors, seem to warp very easy”

“Wear indicators are on the inside pad but the out side pads wear out first and damage the rotors without any warning from the wear indicators”

“Dealership would clean off the glazed brakes and then the road grime would make them squeak/squeal. Then the dealership said for us to "slam on the brakes" to correct the problem but only once a month to do this. The brakes are designed to do this”

“Rear brakes made squeaking noise when stopping. Replaced pads on all four wheels”

“Noisy brakes all the time”

“The brakes on this car have squeaked since we purchased this car in 2009. Honda can not do anything to correct it they say”

“Squeaks when breaking. Mechanic sprays anti-squeak when I get my tires switched, but only lasts for a while”

“Original factory problem and class action suit which I was not aware of I did get reimbursed by Honda for brake replacement pads,no labor. Continue to have problems with sticking and squeaking and am now needing to go back to dealership to have brak”

“I had to replace my upper and lower ball joints which cost over $500. The mechanic said the upper joints do not routinely fail. Our street does have some potholes which may have contributed to the problem”

“Right lower ball joint replaced due to clunking”

“Sway bar bushings causing rattle”

“AT my recent service (60000 miles) the compliance bushings (on suspension control arm) started to tear. This was a $425 repair. The V-tech O-ring also needed to be replaced at $265. All in all, the regular oil change and 60000 miles service turned in”

“idler arm bushing replaced, left outer strut rod bushing replaced, the front end is clucking again. More front end work is needed. The right front axle has been replaced and the transmission was replaced twice in 4 weeks by the dealer. The torque”

“Had original bad bushings. Took the car to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong yet the problem continued. Got tired and had my own mechanic replaced them with new suspension and problem was resolved. Had to buy new tyres too”

“Power steering hose sprung a leak. Was a bit expensive to repair. Over $300”

“Seals leaked”

“Heard winning noise while driving was out of town and someone topped off power steering fluid. Once back home took to the Honda dealership and they said I had a leak with the power steering pump o-rings. They said it was normal wear and tear but I”

“LEAK IN THE STEERING BOX. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ON A CAR WITH SO FEW MILES”

“Pump making noises during cold weather (less than 50 deg). Replaced pump”

“Winding noise coming from steering pump area”

“Replaced power steering pump”

“Power steering pump had a leak”

“Power steering pump needs replacing”

“pump required replacement”

“Leak in power steering fluid due to improper installation of tensioner. Ironic, catalytic converter went bad at same time”

“Replaced pump”

“Worn struts cupped the tires resulting in noticeable road noise”

“Loose knocking in passenger front for 2 years. Finally dealer identified as a leaking strut. Others OK, only replaced the one”

“Replaced 4 struts, back and front”

“Had to replace front suspensions due to bad original bushings which caused steering vibration, uneven tire wear”

“Leaking rear strut. Replaced in pairs (both) and realigned”

“right rear strut brock”

“2nd time with repair - rack and pinion had a leak at a boot that caused the fluid to the pump to go dry and fail. Had to replace rack and pinion and pump. Appears to be a common problem”

“Unable to Steer automobile”

“The steering linkage in the column was replaced”

“Rack and pinion replaced due to leaking seals”

“Replace rack and pinion”

“The steering wheel vibrates most of the time since new. It get worse when the tires are rotated. The car pulls to the right even after the wheel alignment was done. Feels jerky”

“Steering wheel vibrates when speeding up or slowing down around 60 - 70 mph; then it stabilizes. Honda Service has checked, adjusted, and rechecked at least 3 times; thought fixed but issue returns”

“Front end vibration was bothersome and they changed all the brakes and did alignment first and then said maybe I would need new wheels and tires”

“Wheel bearing on the left front gradually became very noisy. Over about 3-4 months the noise became worse until the problem was identified”

“Had to replace wheel bearings on the front”

“Seal on upper front side of windshield caused the car to leak water during raining episodes. Fortunately the Honda dealer was able to remove glass and re-seal and problem was fixed”

“When I drive over any irregular surface there is a rattling noise that comes from the rear. There are a series of rods crossing the width of the trunk. I suspect they are causing this noise, but I have no way of being sure. I do not intend to ride”

“Fan in dashboard has a very high frequency whine. Rear window vibrates with deep bass music”

“One of the front wheel bearings required replacement”

“road noise; fit and finish was much better quality on previously owned Accords”

“back window rattles, and has done so since new”

“Rear sub woofer rattled since I bought it new”

“driver door started sounding hollow or 'tinny' insulation is separating”

“There is a rattle under the shelf under the back window”

“Intermittent vibration/rattles from rear "package" panel (below rear window) that comes and goes”

“Back deck rattled on rough roads”

“Intermittent and mild emanating from dash area and other body locations while driving; unknown source; started within one year of purchase. Brakes squeal intermittently; mechanics try to fix with no success. Orig brakes replaced, same problem”

“Rear window deck squeeks and bass speaker in deck rattles at any signficant volume level”

“Something with the rear window deck. I can't figure out how to stop it”

“rattle in rear deck, behind back seats. Impossible to find without major dismantling”

“Cabin noise is very loud and interior rattles also”

“Can't seem to locate where the squeak is coming from, but is coming from the back”

“TPMS system gets triggered when weather gets cold; needing to repeatedly add air to Michelin Pilot tires”

“Brakes squeak loudly when first driving”

“Had to have deck by rear window tightened”

“The back deck rattles. Also rear wheel bearing went out at 40,000 miles”

“When I go over 65 mph the noise is strong that the radio music is impossible to enjoy no matter how loud you make the volume”

“wind noise too loud”

“There is a sweaking noise by the back window that the dealer cannot seam to fix”

“dealer does not knmow how to fix it”

“One of the loudest vehicles I've had - there is very little sound insulation in this vehicle”

“Has had more wind noise than I believe it should ahve had from beginning. Seems to be getting worse”

“The wind noise in the accord is unbelievable. When i am on the speaker phone - i have to yell just so I'm heard. in fact, i always get people saying, are your windows down there is so much noise”

“noisest car i have ever owned....have been in full size SUVs that are quiter. cant talk or use stereo”

“The car is very noisy despite being the most expensive Accord. Honda designed this model with much too much emphasis on cost reduction”

“Can not open back windows because of a pulsating sound which becomes louder and more forceful as the speed of the car increases”
