“1 FROZE UP”

“Brake fluid was leaking”

“Rear calipers seized 75000 km because of rust. I had not notice. Was luck did not make any emergency stops”

“Rear calipers locked and wore out brakes prematurely. Cost an entire brake job”

“second set of brakes”

“Pads replaced at 120,000. Now front brakes need new pads”

“Recall issued for premature brake pads. The pads were replaced but the replacements squeaked with a loud, high pitch. We addressed it with Honda and they told us there was nothing they could do, we were stuck with the issue”

“rear pads seized and wore out prematurely”

“Honda replaced on recall, per their procedure they think they must turn down the rotors to match the replacement brake shoes, just to cover their butts, turns out they didn't turn the rotors true and vibration was eventually violent. Honda says, sorry you should have come back to us within 90 days. now it's your nickel, I replaced in my driveway with new rotors which is what they should have done. Brakes are good now, that I did it myself in the backyard, Sad, Honda policy legally screws the cus”

“More frequent brake jobs were required. Frequent rusting, noise, etc. I found this to be a problem in other Hondas that we have owned”

“I change rosters and pads about every 18 months or less. They atribute it to the winter Road salt brine used by PADOT”

“This model came with substandard rear brake pads. I have had to have the rear brakes replaced twice at about 16,000 mile intervals. The manufacturer admitted the poor quality of the pads and paid part of the replacement cost both times”

“Known inferior brake linings. Because this car does not have high mileage, the problem did not occur until after the class action suit was closed. Honda America did not do a reimbursement but gave me a Honda card good for one year on service”

“rear brakes”

“Very early brake replacement needed”

“Honda had a problem with premature wear of the rear brake pads on this model. Rather than have the car tied up at the dealer for hours, I replaced the pads myself when the wear sensors starting making their sound. It was not a big deal because the”

“Rear brakes class action law suit”

“Replaced pads and rotors at 33,000 miles”

“the toyota we had before went over 100000 miles without any brake problems or premature wear. this honda has had the brakes repaired twice both times at honda dealer”

“Rear Brakes failing on a car w/ front wheel drive after 18,000 miles is premature to me, and a lot of other Honda Accord owners”

“I was told that the brakes needed repair 2 weeks after the warranty expired”

“Recently required replacement of brake fluid”

“All past vehicles I've owned have had good brake pad wear and performance. (I'm easy on brakes!) At 40,000 miles I had to have 4-wheel brake service”

“rear brake pads wore out ... Honda had a recall to replace free, but since I don't drive much I didn't need replacement before recall expired - so I paid”

“cost 600 to repair only 150 covered by class action one time suit.Had the same problem a year later.not covered”

“Brakes are soft”

“Rear brake pads wore out at 41,000 miles. Front pads did need replacement until 120,000 miles”

“I have had to replace front and rear brakes 2 times each. ONe of the replacements was done by Honda because of a recall for the brakes. Considering that I have only about 49000 miles on this car to have to replace both sets of brakes, calipers, etc”

“Rear brakes need repeated replacement. Still using original front brakes, including linings, so I'm not hard on brakes”

“Rear brakes were worn and leaking fluid”

“The rear pads seem to wear more quickly than the front pads”

“Apparently this was a recalled problem from 2009, the dealer where the car was purchased already changed the brakes back in 2010. I had to replace them again this past year. The pads had to be replaced twice for a car with 25k is not a usual Honda is”

“With such low mileage, it is hard to understand how the factory brake pads completely wore down to nothing”

“I have had to replace breaks on average after less than 5,000 miles”

“Inside rear brake pads have to be replaced about every 50000 miles. They have been replaced twice”

“I have not replaced the front brake pads or rotors in 25000 km of mostly highway driving. I am on my 4th set of rear rotors and pads. A parking brake on the left rear seized once and precipitated one of the replacements”

“premature brake pad failure causes the rotors to warp & need replacement”

“There was a brake pad class action lawsuit for rear brake pads failure that covered only brakes and related parts replaced by 2013. Mine was the next year and I was turned down because of this timing. I used premium pads and 2 new rotors, only 1 wa”

“Brakes went out at like 22k mi, I express shock at dealer. Do research and find class action suit over type of pads used. Ask dealer about it,mint basically threatens me he can't discuss it and if I do he won't fix my car. I call a Midas on military”

“I thought they wore out prematurely”

“Rear brakes had to be replaced at 15000 miles”

“Replaced rear brakes Twice”

“Rear brakes were replaced much sooner than expected. I believe there was a class action lawsuit, but we received no compensation from the dealership”

“Needed to replace pads and 1 front rotor”

“Feels like I'm always resurfacing or replacing the rotors”

“regular inspection found rear brakes needed attention and were replaced (not a big deal)”

“Pulsing brakes, rotors had to be replaced”

“They rust prematurely and as a result wear out the pads prematurely as well. Possibly from the winter Road salt brine used on the roads by PA DOT”

“All 4 rotors warped and needed replaced even though brake pads still had plenty of wear left”

“I have had to put my 3rd set of rotors on the car. The front rotors keep wearing out. First set was 35k miles, second was 35k miles and the last set didn't last 25k miles. Can't find any problems with the calipers or pins”

“I am on my 4th set of front (2nd aftermarket) and 2nd set of rear rotors. Due to extreme stop and go 60 mile one way commute the OE rotors could not handle the stress. Replaced with after market drilled & slotted. The first set lasted 3K miles”

“I have had to have the rotors replaced 2 times since I bought it at 33000 miles”

“Car has taken to rumble & vibration on hard braking; Internet search of problem pointed at rotor warpage as a common problem. Yet to be repaired”

“This caused the pulsing and vibrations. Took to a Honda dealer and they shaved them smooth but after a few weeks the problem is coming back”

“Brakes stick when car sits for a short time. Makes a load "popping" noise when it releases”

“Rotors replaced as RR was badly damaged. I had forgotten that my wife told me about squealing noise weeks before. Might have caught before bad damage if I'd tore down earlier”

“They had to be replaced when the brake lining waas replaced early. No enough miles,”

“While braking at high speeds there is a vibration and unequal contact of t he left front caliper with the brake disk; suspect the disk is warped”

“My Accord has the infamous squeaking rear brakes. I had pads replaced under the class action settlement, and while wear is better, squeaking is atrocious. The dealer insists this is normal, but the car has sounded like this since new, and I rarely hear this from other cars on the road”

“Brake pads wearing down, squeaked. Replaced pads, rotors were OK”

“Calipers stick, causing premature wear of the pads and also squeaking”

“Regular break squeaking noted in my car off and on for several years. Had brakes replaced last year and problem went away for a short period of time but has returned. Seems to be prone to squeaking”

“Engine noise that sounds like a bearing was inspected multiple times but the source of the noise was never repaired”

“After sitting overnight, every time we descend our driveway, the brakes grind and squeal the entire way down the driveway. After a few miles they stop the grinding sound”

“Squeak or more likely squeals like brake pads are worn and need replacement except it's always sounded like this from day one of ownership and dealership states there is now problem. Very annoying”

“Made a grinding metallic noise due to brake wear”

“Brakes @ 80% suggested by reliable mechanic to have them replaced since going on 2 trips”

“A vibration noise or buzzing coming from the rear shelf area”

“rattles coming from the rear deck below the windshield where the speakers are mounted”

“Currently in shop for analysis. No resolution as of this date”

“speakers in rear rattled alot”

“back speaker issue”

“the tail light in the back window rattles against the window and has since I bought it. It can't be fixed I guess”

“Housing for rear speakers behind the back seat somehow lost padding and began rattling constantly”

“car does not keep outside noise outside”

“wind noise is exceptionally bad. There are times when you cannot hear the radio”

“The car in general is noisy”

“Window or roof seal do not contain wind noise”

“I can hear wind seeping around the front passenger door. I also have a whirring in the starter after the car has started”

“Passenger side front door, severe wind noise around the window. Several attempts to correct problem with no positive results”

“Despites of being aware of their noise 'issues' Honda has done little, or next to nothing, to improve wind and road noise”

“Accord has significant engine and wind noise”

“This vehicle has always been unusually noisy. Sound system is inaudible at highway speeds. I blame the lightweight construction. Not really a defect but a design shortcoming”

“The overall noise level is a bit high. Door adjustments helped a bit”

“sometimes the sunroof has wind noise after it was closed, I would reopen then close it again and the noise goes away”

“Since the car was new it has lost a engine coolant may be burning it”

“Oct 2014 Piston rings rotated and aligned, led to extreme spark plug fouling, loss of power, and drop of 4-6 mpg. Honda dealer updated PCM and replaced spark plugs 1-4 per Part A of TSB. By Jan 2015 plugs were badly fouled, as if never changed”

“The "check engine" light came on and since Honda had replaced a faulty spark plug previously, Honda determined that a more major problem was with the cylinder head and needed repair”

“Severe vibration in engine so car could not be driven. Problem corrected by changing the computer timing of valves. Honda paid for repairs at no charge”

“recall on rings and cylinder head was bad also”

“Piston and rings were replaced under an extended warranty . I was not aware of the warranty extension until the dealers agent told me I had excessive oil use,l”

“Was using too much oil did a oil consumptiom test Rebuilt engine”

“The engine was rebuilt to replace piston rings that were too soft causing excessive oil consumption”

“Notice was given that some models were experiencing oil loss due to bad pistons/rings. They did a multi-month test and replaced my pistons & rings at their cost, and also an actuator that was going bad, at my cost”

“Broken piston ring”

“Serious oil consumption since new, Honda deflected calling it normal, years later class action suit filed, my car not in the those considered applicable to law suit even though it has the exact symptoms. Honda lawyers jerking the public around to save company money. They win will never buy Honda again, despite your high ratings that were somewhat misguided, not your fault. I understand”

“The cam shafts had to be replaced and while the engine was apart, we had the timing belt and water pump replaced”

“The engine burned oil in excessive amounts 2 quarts per 1000 miles. Dealer replaced the engine after repeated complaints”

“Cylinders and Pistons had to be replaced”

“Using oil, covered by Honda. Rebuilt 3 of 6 cylinders and head gasket”

“Engine began burning oil. Upon investigating, it turns out the Honda Accord V6 engine had a design / manufacturing flaw in which the piston rings would wear prematurely, allowing engine oil to travel from the crankcase into the cylinder head. Initial”

“Had very high oil burn. No Leaks, had it looked at and apparently Honda has a service bulletin that says that the rings get bound up in the pistons and don't seat oil. Service is piston & ring replacement”

“Engine re-built due to factory recall for defective piston rings”

“leaky timing belt tensioner necessitated $1100 repair bill”

“engine noise at cold start up, from overhead cam assembly. Oil consumption,one quart or more every 1000 miles”

“Rear Brake system need replacement,poor design.During shift from park to drive or reverse big clutch noise.Lastly this model car has variable time chain problem. Honda Dealer repair shop tells us problem seen on this model year”

“Variable belt timing controller went bad and took out the timing chain”

“stretched timing chain requiring sprockets and VTC actuator replacement. Likely due to excess oil consumption from the accord”

“Had shrieking noise when vehicle started, especially in cold weather. Dealer stated it was a VTC gear on the timing chain”

“Timing belts are very expensive to replace along with the other things they recommend at that time. I spent $1600. Why can't all cars have timing chains like my Toyota Celica which didn't need to be replaced”

“This was just normal required maintenance on my vehicle for its current mileage”
