Honda Accord Change Vehicle

“Just included with new front brake installation”

“At slow speeds, applying brakes causes slight acceleration and makes the car stop a little farther”

“Calipers that had just been installed six months prior failed and were replaced under warranty”

“Brake pads and rotors worn to the point where both had to be replaced. Pads are understood to wear out over 50,000 miles, but not rotors. Rotors should last at least two brake pad changes”

“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”

“Replaced due to car not stopping well. Last resort after not being able to figure it out. I think it was brake fluid on the pad/rotor after changing the brake fluid. Cylinder was 800 + install”

“Left rear seized once causing need for replacement of parking brake, rotor, all pads”

“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”

“Noise and pulsing when applying brakes”

“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 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”

“rear pads wore out at 40,000 miles”

“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”

“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”

“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”

“Had to be replaced. 55k seems like not many miles before rotors go”

“premature ware on rear brakes”

“It was just time to install new front brakes on the Honda Accord”

“Rotors needed replacing after 7000 miles. Covered under lifetime warranty thankfully!”

“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”

“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”

“Has gotten more squeaks as it ages of course. Owner cannot find source”

“rattle coming from back seat/truck area”

“Squeaked during start up. Repaired during engine replacement”

“The warmer the temperature, the more the rear shelf rattles near the back window. The bumpier the road, the more it rattles”

“the ride is producing more thumps and bumps than previously”

“Squeaks behind the rear seat area”

“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”

“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”

“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”

“recall on rings and cylinder head was bad also”

“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”

“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”

“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”

“I had a defective timing belt tensioner. While the dealer had the engine apart, I had them replace the water pump and timing belt since that would be necessary in the next 20,ooo 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”
