What Owners Say
"Two of my brake calipers develop frozen pistons. The passenger side front caliper and the parking brake caliper. The mechanic's solution was to simply replace the whole caliper as fixing the piston itself would require so much labor that it was the same cost as a caliper replacement."

Thomas P., VA (2010 Honda Accord EX 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Rear brakes pads wore unevenly because the slider pins dodn't slide to balance the wear so they scored one side of the rotor. Regular maintenance of the slider pins would have prevented this but this was not an item noted in the maintenance and done by the Dealer on checkups except for the most expensive long interval check."
Anonymous, ON (2010 Honda Accord EX 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"This car chews through brakes. Have had to replace rotors multiple times over the life of the car (9 years 89k miles). This January in the first half of the month I had routine service (new pads) on my front brakes and at that time the back brakes pads were fine. At the end of the next month I brought the car in for state inspection and it failed due to the back brakes - apparently the calipers on the back left brake had gotten stuck, chewed through the pad and wrecked the rotor."
