After doing a 96,000 km Type 4 service on my Accord the brakes felt different. On my first highway trip the brakes shuddered badly while going down a long hill and applying the brakes.
I went back to the dealership and the service person assured me that it was nothing they did because they did not remove any of the brake components. I checked with a Honda dealer in a nearby town and they informed me that during a Type 4 service the brake components are removed from the car, cleaned, lubed and adjusted.
I still have the problem.

Bought the car certified used in may 05, 16,000 miles. march 06 had to have the front pads and rotors replaced, brakes were pulsating and making a lot of noise, mileage 30000 miles. at that point i thought it was ok. i do a lot of 'city' driving. now after reading all these postings i think there is a problem. now august of 07. the rear pads are down to 2mm and i am getting the pulsation from the brake pedal. took it in for an oil change they check the car was able to replicate the pulsing. the dealer adjusted the pads and sanded the rotors. told me to get the pads done asap for $287 or the rotors would need to be done also. today is tuesday, this happened last thursday. i am not driving the car, driving my girlfriends car. just does not seem worth $287 for a set of brake pads. trying to find aftermarket pads that would stop better and costs less. stopped at autozone, pads cost about $55. worst part is we have had a ton of rain in chicago and we all know how the oem michelins suck once they get past 35k miles. needles to say i will get new pads and tires, as i have wanted this car for a while. it runs great. just THE BRAKES AND TIRES SUCK.
