problem #3

2007Aug 24

(reported on)

Accord LX SE V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

At 8000 miles the rotors warped. The dealer I bought it from turned the rotors. At 16000 miles they were warped again. The dealer I bought it from (Honda Carland)wouldn't repair them again. I took it to Team Honda (I had 24000 miles on it by this time), they replaced all 4 rotors and all brake pads under warranty. At 32000 miles they warped again. I've been driving this car with warped rotors since. The car now has 45000 miles on it and the shaking when I'm braking is so bad I have to get something done. I think I'm looking at expensive after market performance rotors and pads. I'm trying to decide if I even want to keep the car. Honda quaility is way over rated.

Accord LX 2.4 L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,700 miles

The brakes were worked on 3 times by honda mechanics only to have the vibration come back.

Brakes were serviced at 10K, 17,5K, 35K and at 36.7K a Honda dealer again looked at the brakes only to state that all 4 brakes showed signs of overheating. The 35 K service replaced the front disc and pads and 700 miles later they were shot. This is a reoccurring problem which the manufacturer knows about but does not want to support.

problem #1

Accord LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,000 miles

Hi, When I step on the brake at high speeds (over 60 mph), I can feel the steering wheel vibrate.

I never had this problem with my 1989 Honda Civic!

After doing a little research on the Internet, I found many people with similar problem with their Accords. There does not seem to be a permanent solution to the problem - it always comes back.

Can I just drive it like this? Do you think the standard warranty covers it? Or should I just sell this car and say hell with it?

Thanks! Hamid
