Honda Accord

"Rear calipers seized."

"Rear Calipers NOT working,rear pads still Factory New !"

"calipers continualy wear get hung up."

"left rear caliper almost froze up, causing premature wear of pads and scoring or rotor."

"Needed replacement, under warranty"

"Seized"

"was making occasional crunching noise...did not affect the driving"

"I have had my calipers replaced several times since I owned this car.. they have a problem on not releasing fully causing the pads and rotors to wear also.. sounds trivial but 3 times at 140,000 miles for calipers seems much.. I expect the customary break survice intervals but not caliper replacement by seizure"

"With about 49,000 miles on the car, the rear driver side caliper became frozen. I was advised to replace both rear caliper assemblies for about $500."

"Caliper guide pins (front passenger side) seized causing pads to wear unevenly and caused pulsating feeling when pressing on brake pedal"

"The parking break used the calipers. The hand break could not operate because where they connect to the calipers was seized"

"Wear and tear"

"replace pads and rotors"

"I was able to get 90k miles on my Accord before needing new brakes. I did replace pads, rotors, and brake fluid. I used a local independent mechanic who saved me big compared to the quotes I received from the dealer."

"Brake on right driver side was making awful noise. The brake on the left driver side was perfect. Not sure why I had the problem"

"Service indicated at dealership during routine maintenance"

"Breaks lasted 100k miles, mostly highway miles"

"Waited too long to have brakes serviced. It was my fault that I let them go so long I needed to have repair done while I was on vacation with this vehicle."

"i seems to me that the brake pads have worn down faster than I think they shoulkd."

"Brake pads seem to last about 30,000 or less. The car definitely lets you know its time for new pads."

"Time to replace disc due to wear getting 68000 miles out of them"

"New rotors and calipers"

"replaced front breaks"

"Rear Braked replaced. First time after 100,000 miles of driving."

"replaced brakes after 64,000 miles for the first time, so they actually lasted a long time. Only problem with front caliper guide pins seizing"

"at about 67,000 miles the pads had to be replaced for two of the wheels"

"Brakes were completely worn out"

"Because of the way the brake system is set up on the 2012 Honda Accord one thing going bad can cause a lot of the other components to fail also. The left rear caliper was not releasing causing the rotor to become so hot that it was smoking. My mechanic told me, there is a lot going on with the way the system is designed. Everything is intertwined. So, the calipers, rotors and pads all had to be replaced."

"Parking brake mechanism no longer releases on rear calipers. New calipers are required to fix the problem"

"Parking brake suddenly does not engage... dealer said that they could repair but it is no longer under warranty. Car has less than 36,000 miles"

"The front brakes wear out quickly"

"brakes did not make 40000 replaced w/ better ceramic brake pads still does not stop fast enough"

"left rear caliper not releasing properly caused much faster than normal pad wear."

"The brakes seem to wear faster than the competition. I drive a lot but having to change brake pads every 30/40 K miles seems premature."

"typical Honda Accord brake pad wear. I knew about this because I have had several Honda Accords. The pads only lasted appox. 40 thousand miles. I consider this abnormal"

"Break wear at 39000 miles"

"Break wear at 39000 miles"

"highway driving - too soon for breaks to wear out on both axles"

"Unknown but mechanic indicated brakes were premature and felt it was due to prior owner driving in northern part of county"

"Unusual brake wear for mostly highway driving"

"Rear brake pads had to be replaced at 28,800 miles"

"Had to replace front pads at that less than 28000 miles. This also happened on our previus 2009 Accord"

"Need a complete break overhaul after 60,000 miles to the tune of $700 for pads an rotors. I've NEVER had a car with breaks needing such major repairs at that mileage, and I've been driving for more than 20 years"

"I had an emergency experience on the road and hit the brakes as hard as I could. The car stopped surprisingly quickly but the next time I used the brakes there was a terrible chatter. I took it to the dealer and it needed new pads and turning of th"

"Anytime I would apply the brakes when stopping I would feel the pulsating. So I decided to have it fixed"

"I haven't had the problem fixed yet. I assume it is warped rotors."

"Its how the car lets you know its time for new pads."

"Rear pads replaced 85000 miles"

"I got nearly 90k miles before my 1st rotor/pad change on my car and other than that I've really not had any other expenses besides tire. So far, very reliable care!"

"As previously stated, left rear caliper was not releasing causing the rotor to become red hot and smoking."

"Brakes were replaced at 62,000 miles. At 80,000 miles I was informed the rotors had warped and needed replacing. I bought the car with 49,500 miles and replaced the brakes at 62,000 miles. I don't understand how rotors warped between 62-80k miles."

"Any time we get brake work we need new rotors"

"Front rotors replaced due to wear. They had already been turned once and could not be turned again. Original rotors had warped causing a vibration when the brakes were applied hard"

"Replace front brake rotors and pads to cure vibration in steering wheel when braking (June 2016). Rotors were out of spec for parallelism (did work myself). Did not turn rotors because the vibration always returns after about a year when it has been done in the past on other Accords"

"I Have owned three Accords previously and had put 150K miles or more and never had a rotor issue. I have 99K miles on this 2012 and have had to have the rotors turned twice, about every 50K. My driving habits and situations have not changed. I really believe they are a poor quality rotor if there is such a thing"

"The back passenger rotor was worn and damaged because the brake on that side wore MUCH faster than the other side. The brake wore down to the metal and started to eat into the rotor and spray off rust onto the suspension, rim, and even out to the rear quarter panel of the car (even as far around as the rear license plate there was a rust/brake dust mix which was hard to get off). Clearly, I let this go too long before I realized the problem. But when I changed the brake, I found that the driver's side brake pad was at least half in tact. I had to use a rotary tool to remove the rust from the internal suspension parts and brake parts. I used laundry detergent (Arm & Hammer powder detergent in water - high concentration - did a good job of rubbing it off without damaging the paint). I have been unable to get it off the rim without causing it damage. The rotor was still thick enough and smooth enough to keep so I replaced the brake pads on one side and will replace both rotors and pads the next time I need brakes."

"I have had to have the rotors turned three times, about every 40K miles. I have owned four Honda's and have never had this issue with any of other vehicles."

"rotors started shaking when breaking beginning at 15,000 miles. Was told they would have to be resurfaced and this was normal to the car and would continue to have to be done every 25,000 miles until they had to be replaced - never had a car do this"

"Rotors warped and needed to be resurfaced just after warranty ran out. There had been some pulsing of brakes. Have heard others with same complaint"

"at about 67,000 miles the pads had to be replaced and the rotors had to be "cut" . expensive repair"

"Rotors needed to be turned"

"At 16146 the front rotors needed to be re-surfaced. I have had seven honda and have never had this happen to any of them. I was very surprised to have this happen"

"Hondas seem to have an issue with warped rotors causing brake rumble and pulsation. This Accord has had the issue for about 20,000 miles"

"Rotors had to be turned at about 40000 miles"

"see previous comments"

"One or more rotors has developed and grinding sound while both driving the vehicle and when applying the brakes. It is apparent that they will need to be replaced"

"Brakes made noises due to worn pads"

"a bracket or screw or some similar small loosened several times on the front breaks, rubbed a nearby structure. More than one service visit required to eventually get it fixed"

"The grease sank to the bottom of the joint after i drove the car in SC with the heat and came back to NJ. There is a dealer notice for this problem"

"This was related to the steering linkage problem."

"I noticed that the power steering was making noise and the reservoir was low on fluid; but no drips were found under car. I was adding fluid every few months. same dealer that replaced the transmission said it was abnormal, steering rack replaced without cost, six months later noise resurfaced, fluid top off cured it. again-no drips found under car"

"Twice I've taken it to the Honda dealer for a whirring noise. The first time they replaces the power steering pump for $500. Eighteen months later the whirring noise returned. Now Honda wants $1,500 to repair the power steering rack"

"I was informed at my car's last oil change that the entire power steering had to be replaced at a cost of nearly $2000"

"Slow leak of power steering fluid requires careful monitoring. Dealer suggests replacing tie rod assembly which is expensive and not covered by warranty."

"The power steering fluid was leaking and they had to replace the whole power steering assembly which took an entire day at the shop after ordering parts"

"The rack was leaking. Rack was replaced"

"A hose was leaking power steering fluid"

"replaced by Honda"

"Power steering pump went out. Vehicle became very difficult to maneuver safely."

"Steering is stiff and sometimes difficult"

"Pump was making shrill sounds on start up, and causing a "roaring" sound as you drove the car"

"I discussed this in my previous comment"

"Power steering makes whinning noise when turning."

"Vibration when turning. Power steering unit replaced. Vibration disappeared, but another problem occurred when they road tested the car. Replaced this power steering unit. No charge for either repair or rental car needed for over 1 week"

"Shock on 1 side leaked. Also control arm same side"

"The struts needed replacing and that caused the tires to wear and the replacement then required alinements."

"Rear struts are leaking & need to be replaced"

"Shocks were replaced last year"

"It was mystifying to me as to why it failed. I was very fortunate that it was still under extended warranty, because otherwise I would have had to pay $1500+ to fix it. I don't know why it failed--I've never had that problem before."

"Steering linkage leaked power steering fluid. Had to replace the entire linkage. Cost about $1,500."

"The entire rack and pinion system had to be replaced. It was still under extended warranty, otherwise I would have had to pay $1200. I couldn't believe it. I don't ride on rough roads or anything. I think that issue eventually messed up my alignment as well, because a couple of months later I had to have an alignment done, as well."

"Noises were heard hen turning in cold weather. The dealership replaced parts under warranty"

"Seals failed on one side of power steering . Had to replace Rack. Work done at Honda Dealer with OEM parts. Very expensive $1200 with 10% discount. Car has 53 K on it. Enjoy driving car and V6 engine"

"Noise when turning steering wheel. Very expensive repair +$1,000"

"The rack-and-pinion is leaking and must be replaced."

"CONNECTING PINS/SCREWS FAILED. WAS DISCOVERED DURING A NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALER"

"The steering gear failed. I had purchased a lifetime warranty when I bought the car, so the repair was covered, but the parts alone came to $1400 and it took a full day at the dealer's shop to replace. I got a free loaner, however"

"Dealer says they checked it on a computer and there is no problem. The transmission does not shift smoothly"

"Car had horrible shaking when bought. Dealer said it was the tires and refused to do anything. It has since gone away. Because of this, I will never buy another Honda"

"Related tot tire ply separation problem"

"Noises were heard hen turning in cold weather. The dealership replaced parts under warranty"

"Left rear tire had ply separation"

"Driver's side front wheel bearings were making noise and needed replaced. This was covered by warnenty."

"making a noise"

"Right front wheel bearing failed and was replaced under the drive system warranty"

"Noise from front end was bad wheel bearing, fixed by Honda dealer"

"Not sure when it started ? You can notice air leaking by on passenger side of car when doing about 40 mph. Sounds like a hissing sound."

"SEAL BETWEEN FRONT SHIELD AND ROOF CAME LOOSE AND WATER DURING RAIN LEAKED IN TO CABIN"

"The infamous rear deck rattle, common with 8th gen Accords, 2 and 4 door. Honda even has a TSB out on this. The dealership checked both of the Accords I own and, again, wanted hundreds of dollars to disassemble the entire rear seat and deck to reinsulate. If it was under-insulated, this is Honda's problem, not mine. Dealership refused to pay for or subsidize this issue."

"not horrid"

"There has been a annoying rattle coming from the top center of the dash since I bought the car new in 2012. The rattle was extremely annoying, but there was nothing that the dealer could do about it. They said it would require opening up the dash, which might lead to other rattles. The rattle was constant, finally got to a point at which it came and went (a few months on, a few months off) and has since disappeared (for now). Also, within the last year a rattle has developed involving the ri"

"Rattle noise coming from drivers side door window."

"rear deck rattles, which after researching is a widespread problem in both the 4 door and coupe, there is a tsb on the issue, but only references model years starting 2013, even though the same issue exists for previous years, therefore honda will not cover the repair, they wanted hundreds of dollars to remove and reinstall the rear desk"

"Rattle from back shelf. Had it fixed once, now occurring again"

"Rattle on the passenger side that the dealer could not locate its source"

"Ask me about other issues - front wheel bearings had to be replaced after 1.5 years. Starter (fly wheel) will be replaced next week. Factory tires started to cup at 15 K miles. Replaced w/Michelins. Squeaking is loud and worsening"

"Both driver and passenger side has had rattles near vents. I have taken car in3 times and only one of the squeaks has been fully taken care off. The other was is a bit more controlled, but still is there at various times"

"Right side air duct loose rattle. Lots of road noise from tires, this car is not as well insulated as my 2005 ex-l"

"The noise was a result of a cracked axle which had to be replaced. This was an out of pocket cost"

"metal to metal sound from front right of car when crossing uneven pavement getting progressively worse. the dealer has seen and charged me $80 but cannot find anything wrong, states nothing wrong in any of suspension system. Returning car soon to try"

"My Honda Accord seems to be twice a noisy at highway speeds as my Toyota Sienna."

"Wind and road noise. My 4WD truck is quieter."

"window seals wear too fast"

"The road noise is awful and you cannot carry on a conversation in the back seat. It must have little or no undercarriage insulation!!"

"A lot of wind noise"

"The car is loud on the highway due to wind noise and makes it hard to talk on a cell phone."

"Excessive road and wind noise."

"a lot of wind noise"

"Honda skimped on noise insulation with this vehicle. It has much more wind and road noise than any other vehicle I have ever owned. It is so loud, a conversation between the front and rear seat passengers is almost impossible. I am certain the decible level in the car is harmful."

"Very noisy especially on the highway.loud enough I need to turn up volume of radio"

"The car is noisy"

"Honda wind noise in normal highway traffic is not acceptable too much wind noise"

"A lot of wind and road noise to the point you can't converse on phone and listening to the radio is unbearable. Maybe it's me getting older but friends have complained about it"

"Interior is loud. Background noise from wind makes it difficult to hear cell phone clearly. This Accord is cheaply made! Poorly padded seats hurt my bottom. Open wires in trunk. No thermometer or blue tooth. Cheap radio. No light in glove box. et"

"Drivers side door has bad wind noise. Dealer can't fix"
