What Owners Say
"Calipers had to be replaced with normal brake wear"
Robert P., MA (2011 Honda Accord SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"I had my car for 5 years with about 60,000 miles, After routine oil change and tire rotation. Honda say my rear brake calipers are stuck. I don't know how that happen. They show me that my rear rotors were damage. So I had to replace everything: the calipers, brake pads, and the rotors costing me over $1000. I thought calipers suppose to last a life time"

Anonymous, ON (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"rear calipers stuck thus causing back brake pads to wear out. New brakes and rotors were installed by dealer. Calipers were not replaced. Within a year the back calipers stuck again causing brake pads and rotors to be replaced again. No problems since."

Anonymous, PA (2011 Honda Accord EX 3.5-L V6)"At a regular inspection, the dealer found that one of the rear brake pads was prematurely worn. As far as I know, the reason was corrected and the pads replaced"
Anonymous, NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Eats brake pads on top of the noise. The brakes have been bad since new, and though aftermarket brembo rotors and pads have helped it still makes noise. It goes through pads every 20k miles"
Jean W., MA (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5-L V6)"Within 6 months after buying new car, I had to replace rear brake pads. I had the same problem with my 2008 Honda Accord (which I traded in). I don't know how the rear brakes are worn out faster than the front. It makes no sense to me at all"
Anonymous, NJ (2011 Honda Accord EX 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Brakes required servicing one week after purchase. Rear Brake pads had to be replaced"

Anonymous, (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5-L V6)"We park the car outside and did not drive it for several weeks because of COVID-19. The brake pads rusted and the car would not moved. We had it towed to the mechanic who replaced brake pads on all four wheels."

Paul P., NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"pulsation from warping Rotors and uneven tire wear even after alingments. dealer cant seem to solve problems."
Paul P., NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Steering wheel vibration during braking is caused by the rotors getting warped from overheating due to the rotors being too small for the weight of the vehicle. Poor design."
Anonymous, LA (2011 Honda Accord LX-P 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Replaced rear pads and rotors at 78500 miles"

Anonymous, AL (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5-L V6)"Original Honda rotors are warped. They've already been turned twice. Dealership indicates Honda rotors are made from 3 different types of metals, so all three types of metals expand and contract differently, and warp very easily. Recommended solution was to have another front brake service, and replace rotors with non-Honda parts"
Michael M., LA (2011 Honda Accord LX-P 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"This car has terrible rotors. always warping. Must change often along with pads. all OEM parts. i am on my 3rd set of Rotors"
Paul P., NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"front rotors warped and caused a pulsation when appling the brakes. Failed first time at less than 30000 miles which was covered under warrenty. Second set, oem replacements by the dealer, failed in less that 25000. 3 set were aftermarket and lasted 90000 miles. Just replaced the aftermarket rotors a 165000."
Anonymous, PA (2011 Honda Accord LX-P 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Rotors are undersized so heat buildup causes the rotor to permanently warp, causing vibration during routine braking."
Anonymous, LA (2011 Honda Accord LX-P 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Rotors warp quickly, 20000 miles"
Vincent P., CA (2011 Honda Accord 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"when not driven for a couple hours, the rotors grind the first couple of times braking"

Anonymous, NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The rear brake rotors had to be repaired at about 30-40K miles. This was some kind of known issue w/the Accord, and was either fully or partially covered by Honda. It wasn't a huge issue, but we were surprised by the issue, as we had not had problems with prior Honda models."

Paul P., NY (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Brakes on this car are horrid. It sounds like a train pulling into the station when the car hasn't had the brake dust washed off weekly. The car stops, it just sounds like it won't. And it doesn't exactly inspire confidence when you're questioning the brakes"
Jean W., MA (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5-L V6)"Breaks replaced still squeaked aftee"

Robert P., MA (2011 Honda Accord SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"First couple applications when brakes are cold right front sounds like metal on metal (grinding). Also, in heavy use such as a long down hill the right front vibrates very badly and begins to fade after it heats up"
Anonymous, PA (2011 Honda Accord LX-P 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"brakes squeak"
Roger S., FL (2011 Honda Accord SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The brakes on the car constantly and consistently since new have made noise. The dealer did nothing at all and claimed it was 'normal.' But magically when our mechanic replaced the pads and rotors with Brembo, nothing. Brakes on this car are terrible"
Anonymous, MA (2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5-L V6)"After 70K mi with new rear brakes, even with 3 trips to shop nothing quiets squeaky brakes."

"Calipers are continually locking up and wearing the brakes down. Different tires. Causing me constant brake replacement and secondarily having to replace the tires constantly. It's awful"
