I purchased my vehicle in Feb 2007. I am religious about sticking to the service reminder and have never missed a service appointment. About every 3 months I get my car serviced. 3 months ago, my brakes and rotors were perfectly fine. No uneven wear or scorching. Yesterday, I was informed that my left rear brake pad is near the metal and I need both the pads and rotors replaced at about $400. I could not believe this happened. I don't expect brake pads to last forever, but within the first 40,000 miles and one wearing much worse the the other 3, come on. I called the service manager, and he did nothing. I spoke with other service departments in the area and they were surprised of the wear as well. I'm not sure what I am going to do yet.

this is the 2nd problem i have had with the rotor , last time is when i has 8.5k miles
this time when i serviced my Honda , they were not so accommodating on fixing the rotor problem , they told me it is the way i drive the car , rotors could of got to wet when they were hot , basically a bunch of bull sh*t !!! they said the rotors fall under normal were and tare, well at 8k i had a prob and the same prob at 14k is that normal were and tare ???
after going threw 3 people , i finally get a manager , who offers to fix the prob , but only as a one time goodwill .and states this will be the last time this procedure will be done under any no charge condition .
I believe the rotor are defected and need to be replaced , thats my Beef

I purchased my 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6 brand new in August 2007. I followed all dealer instructions for proper break-in of the car. Recently I have noticed my steering wheel shimmying when pressing the brakes. The problem is much more prominent at a higher rate of speed.
For a car with, (as of today) only 9,000 miles this should not even be an issue! This is my first Honda, and after bringing the car in for 1 TSB and I also am having an issue with the windows and tint, I am very disappointed. Let's just hope I don't get the infamous "transmission problems" that Honda is so known for.

Accord EX 4 cyl
I purchased my Honda Accord EX in May of 2008. I am the 2nd owner. I noticed immediately that the brakes were pulsing when applied. The service manager turned the rotors at no charge. Within 2-3 months the vibration returned. This problem is definitely associated with a design problem, not wear and tare, driving habits, etc. The brakes are not under warranty for wear unless you could prove a factory design problem, which is near impossible. I am considering changing rotors to a new after market design and ceramic pads to see if it helps. As of now, I am stuck with the problem unless I want to turn rotors every 3 months. My rear brakes also seized up and required new calipers, rotors and pads, which were covered under warranty. I'm not to happy with the performance of this Honda. I bought it because of fuel economy, but I think that I would pass on it after having owned it for several months.
