same problem as the other complaints. Rear brakes failed. Honda Replaced them(WE FORCED THEM, at first they made excuses). At 55000, all FOUR brakes are gone again. Put aftermarket. Now brakes are running smooth.

Car is not driven that often. We went on a long trip of about 800 miles which involved traveling over the NC/Tenn Mountain range on the interstate. While driving back, the brakes began vibrating with a burning smell. I took it to a Honda dealer and was told that the brakes had "burnt out", along with the brake fluid. Major repair. I do not ride the brakes and the trip only involved normal driving. The mechanic explained that this was normal for Honda Accords. I find this to be unacceptable.

I've had this car since February 2005. I've done everything the dealer has told me to do. I'm not really a "car" enthusiast. I'm a girly girl, to be honest. When using Honda brand brakes, I've found I need to get new pads and rotors for the rear braking system roughly every 20K miles.
First time in January 2006 with only 18 K miles on the car. Second time, a year later in 2007 at 40K miles and I just blew up. The car was now needing its third set of rear brakes in January 2007. I finally put aftermarket brakes on in Jan 2007 and am just waiting to hear that I need new brakes again. I will say, its been 30K miles since I've put the aftermarket brakes on. Anyone else out there having this issue with Honda branded brake parts?
I've never had a car that needed brakes so often.

OH MY GOSH!!!! YES!!! I had same issues at 30,000 miles and again at 60,000 miles!!! I found out when I went to stop that , rotors were yanking us around and giving us slow whiplash!!
Took it to the dealer they fixed all under warranty and told me to lay off the brake that I stop too quickly and I was ruining my brakes and rotors! So I took the advice at once and babied my brakes, the same problem with my brakes were gone again, and dangerous to drive at 55,000 miles according to the Honda dealership.
I'm a single mom of three without any help, trying to make it threw school, I cant afford to keep having issues with my car. I have driven Honda's for the last 15 years for this reason. That they were well built. I have NEVER had an issue with a vehicle from the "way I drive it".
I had the same car but 2003, drove it to 50,000 before trading it for this one, and I NEVER had to put anything except tires on any of my Honda's!!!!!!! 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 is a lemon, and the dealers now it and keep telling you its your fault for how you drive it! WRONG!!!
