Purchased from Johnson Autoplex,Raleigh, N.C. on 9/7/11 with 20904 miles. Never mentioned the severe brake problems this car has had since new and no mention made of the class action lawsuit that's ongoing.Mechanic says front brakes are just fine but may have to replace rear pads/rotors every 15,000 to 20,000 thousand miles. Can't believe Honda is not doing whatever it takes to make this right for its customers. Plan to file claim under the class action suit but we all know that only the lawyers come out as winners. Probably will be the last Honda in my driveway.

Bought car brand new. Ran into rear brake problems within first two years. Dealer says it's due to slides on calipers not being lubricated. Ended up replacing pads and rotors at my expense ($500.00) at just over 40,000km. Honda then comes out with a "GoodWill" policy to rebate customers who have had the repair done to the grand total of $125.00. I'm impressed.
At 78,000km and with regular dealer service, rear pads wear out again. No coverage from Honda and again, I'm out of pocket another $250.00.
This should have been a safety recall from the start of this issue. Instead Honda continues to waffle over it.

purchased my Honda Accord 2008 on Jan. 17 2009. Brake recall in January, 2010. I had all brakes replaced under warranty in June 2010. 37,000k back brakes needed replacing again at the cost of $ 833.00. One brake worn to metal on metal and the other back brake was perfect... Obviously, they replaced the brakes, but did not fix the problem. The recall is good for 3 years from the date of purchase. Honda Canada would not stand by there warranty, knowing full well there is a brake problem. My car has only been serviced at the Honda dealership in St. Catharines since time of purchase. I can not afford to do the back brakes yearly on this car. Obviously a tremendous and costly problem with the brakes that have supposedly been maintained by the dealership since I am on their service maintenance plan.

Just like the other Accord owners, I was really shocked to find out that my rear brakes wore out in little over 15,000 miles and that they went before the front ones. What also makes it a lousy situation is that 2 months earlier I had my 15000 mile checkup. The Honda service people told me ALL my brakes were good shape including my rear brakes at 5mm. So in 2 months my rear brake pads went from 5mm to 1mm, HMMMM! So the Honda people other then repeating "sorry" about 100 times offered no assistance, that is financial assistance. I take that back, they had a copy of the class action suit against Honda regarding the brake issue. Isn't that odd, a Honda dealership handing out literature against the parent company. Really sad that a company cannot/will not accept responsibility for a defective product. This was my first Honda purchase and last, period!

I've owned many Hondas and bought a new 2008 Honda Accord with all the toys. Loved the car until the rear brakes started making noise at only 27,0000 miles. Rear brakes should never fail with such low mileage and certainly not before the front brakes. Now I see hundreds of others with the same problem. I expect they are dragging all the time so that will effect my mileage as well. Honda is loosing a lot of customers with this problem and they don't care. I'm a mechanic and will be doing my own brakes on this honda again at 50,000, if it makes it and then will unload the car for something more reliable soon. Probably a "Toyota Camary". HONDA should fix the problem for their customers who paid good money expecting the reliablilty that we"ve had before and stop making excuses for the defect!

Honda rep at university honda in Davis California told my wife that "i have been changing brakes at 20000 miles. I will never buy another honda product. the problem was with the rear brakes. It is bad that he knew there was a problem with the brakes, as evidence by this website and previous complaints. shame on Honda for not being proactive in this situation. This company has a long history of building great products. I thought I was buying security of a good car. I own a lexus sc430 since new and never seen the shop. the brakes are great. My 2005 Nissan Maxima has 100000 miles and the brakes are fine. Again shame on honda.

I have a 2008 Honda Accord. Last year( about 10.000 miles ago ) I had the rear brakes replaced. It cost around 250.00. They continued to make noise. I took it back and they said the brakes looked ok. The car passed inspection in april. The garage said everything was great. It is August. My brakes were rubbing, and practically not there at all! The brakes in the rear were totally worn. The front was rubbing metal on metal. They said I must be a rough driver. I do not do city driving. The car had 10,000 miles from previous year and needed pads, roters and brakes. Will I have to do this every year ??
I loved this car and was hoping to keep it for awhile. This may not be the answer. I may have to sell it. RIDICULOUS.

2nd set of brakes needing replacing at 40K miles.
I don't like the window seals, they don't squeegy water, fog or anything off when rolled down. Poor design.
Gas mileage sucks, I get 23 max highway, despite ad claims of 29 and salesman claims that it is really much better than 29.
Beautiful car on the outside, but they should be chopping some pinkee's off for the items mentioned above.
I think the Japanese car quality bubble is getting ready to pop.

I have bought this car new and need to replace the rear brakes approximately every 8,000 to 10,000 miles. I have owned several Honda in the past and was always pleased, but the rear brakes problem on the accord is a defect. This defect has lowered my opinion of Honda quality.

I was told that if rotors need replacing this time it will be my cost
Just read about settlement in the US for this.
What has happened to the good name Honda had?
Now that the cars are made in the US, quality has gone down hill
Honda is not taking their responsibilities very seriously either
This will likely be the last Honda (#3) that I will ever buy

During the summer of 2009 I was informed by the dealership that my rear brake pads were worn and would need to be replaced, keep in mind my car was a 2008 Accord with only 20,000 miles on it at the time. I spent over $200.00 for parts and labor, but recouped $98.00 due to a class-action lawsuit. It is unheard of for back brake pads to wear out before the front ones, let alone to wear out after only 20,000 miles. I do have to say that partial reimbursement was delivered quickly.

Took vehicle in for oil change, tire rotation, & inspection. Was told that the rear brake pads were 95% worn with only 43,000 miles on the vehicle. Just found out there was a class action suit against Honda for excessive brake wear, but had to be reported within 3 years from date of purchase. My 3 years was up June, 2011 - now it's July 2011 & as usual does not appear I will get any reimbursement from the class action suit. Very dissatisfied with this car - will not be purchasing another Honda!!

OK, well I bought my car in December of 2007. It was brand spankin' new!! The following year in September of 2008 I heard a very loud squeaking noise coming from my car I took it in and my brakes were gone. So, I had them fixed at 18000 miles. I was upset because I thought this was to soon. Well lets just say this has happened every year since then!! I have to replace my brakes every year!! This last time I replaced my rotors and brakes and all I hear now is a constant squeak!! I'm not sure what to do. I hate this car and its brake problems. Everyone has always said how much they love HONDA well I would have to say I hate HONDA!! I will not be buying another Honda as long as I live!

Accord EX-L NAV 3.5L V6
- Automatic transmission
- 57,500 miles
Like other Accord owners, I took my car in for maintenance - I needed an oil change, rear brakes were squealing even when not being applied after only 18000 miles/1.5 years of ownership (bought certified at 39500 miles, now at 57500 miles with brand new brakes applied during the certification process) and I needed my yearly state inspection. I also reported to the dealer that I felt like there was a problem with the transmission jerking or the engine with the VCM and to report a rattle underneath the car whenever going over a bump or pothole. I was told to drop the car off at 7am and it would be ready later in the day which I did.
About lunchtime, I got a call from one of the service guys, and we had a 10-15 minute conversation about he thinks something could be wrong with the torque converter - he is going to do some more testing, and possibly order either a new torque converter or transmission depending on how bad things are - either way, he said that I could he would complete my work order for today (the inspection, brakes and oil) and to come get the car in the next few hours and he would speak with me about setting up a time after he orders any parts needed to bring the car back and give me a loaner to complete the repair.
When I arrive to pay for my service and to talk to the service guy - he acts as if we hadn't spoke earlier - and proceeds to say "I think I got you mixed up with another customer, it happens sometimes, everything with your car is fine". After raising hell for number 1, acting so nonchalant about the situation and for not even mentioning the rattle I spoke about and for having a 15 minute convo with me, when he should have been talking to another customer - I was pissed. He explained that checking the suspension was part of the state inspection process, plus they road-tested the car after putting on the new brake pads in the rear, and they heard nothing - everything was perfect, nothing making noises or loose related to under the car. Then another service adviser stepped in, and said "lets take a drive and see if we can hear the noise", so we did and sure enough he heard the noise and felt the rough jerk of the car and said he wanted to go back, get me a loaner and leave the car with them overnight so the service manager could drive it home that evening and back to Honda in the morning to replicate the noises himself.
Long story short, the car stayed with Honda from Friday one week to Friday the following week - for a car that was said to have been state inspected and not having any suspension issues that would cause it to fail state inspection and that "DROVE PERFECTLY WITH NO NOISES PRESENT OR DUPLICATED", I ended up having the left front stabilizer bar and the right front wheel bearing replaced....which took them seven days after they said the car was perfect. I still have not had my transmission issue addressed and I guess I won't unless I go to another dealer or it blows up first...
This is my fourth Accord, had an 89, 92, 03 and now this 08. Never did rear brake work on the first two, didn't even need front brakes on the 03 Accord until 87,000 miles, I was still on the original rear brakes when I traded it at 95,000 miles for the 08 Accord. I'll be switching my loyalty to Nissan or Lexus as I am so disappointed in this Accord - which to me has been the best looking generation thus far...really wanted to take this one to the 200-300,000 mile mark, but I don't see that happening as by that point I will have paid for the car twice in brake expenses every 15,000 miles. Make the transmissions like they did in 1992, and get rid of the VCM - it is not so unnoticeable as they proclaim. And for a car that costs pretty close to $40,000 brand new with Navigation - at least offer Traffic and Weather on the Nav - Nissan does even in the Altima, even Toyota does in the Corolla which isn't even close to the $20,000 mark....

Vehicle was vibrating, clunking noises every time I brake, increase or decrease speed, brake alarm went off again. rear brake lining and brake pads replaced; front brake pad replaced and resurfaced rotors. After one week, all clunking noises are present again. Took vehicle back today but nothing comes up on the "diagnostics" and the techs "cannot duplicate" my complaints. The car does not clunk while it is cold, but after driving for a few miles, it begins to make the noises again.

It all started with a clunking noise, then the alarm for the brakes. Replaced te pads (was never told that 08 Accords were having brake problems until today) and the noise disappeared for a matter of a week or so. Needless to say, clunking noise returned, though mildly, but got increasingly worse.

I have read that it is a problem with many 2008 Hondas that the rear brakes wear out at less than 30,000 miles when they should last twice as long, and the front brakes should wear out first. It is dangerous because it is unexpected, driving could cause damage to the rotors, and of course brake problems are dangerous.

i have a 2008 honda accord and the rear breaks are crap!!
I had my rear brakes replaced at holeman Honda in fort lauderdale fl at 27K miles. After i complained about all i had read they cost me 0.00. Now at 55K miles and at Coral Springs Honda they are telling me i need new rear breaks again!!! $230. They won't cover the repair. Some crap about brakes being thin, and i'll have to do this every 25K miles. Class action suit being over and not covered. I tell you want i'm taking this to Honda Corp. You should not have to pay to replace rear breaks every 25K miles. Now way will i give HONDA a dime, i'll have 3rd party replace them. Or they are doing them for free again! Extend warranty does not cover this either.

I finally had to change my rear brakes at 18,904 since the wear sensor was squeaking. No rotor turning (cutting) was needed (I never turn my rotors). I did the job myself with the appropriate Honda brakes (43022-TA0-A40); the new pads also have a spring clip to help separate the pads. Honda pads also come with M77 Molykote brake grease for the shims. I don’t like to use aftermarket brakes since the one time I did for my previous Honda my rotors warped. Since the class action suit for the rear brakes was over I tried to collect by sending a letter to Honda with documented proof of mileage and cost of brakes. Honda reimbursed me for the cost of the brakes with shipping. Honda called me to confirm some information. The Honda rep said that before the lawsuit the dealers were authorized to reimburse the owners but because of the lawsuit owners must go through that route. To be honest I never trusted the service department of any dealer since they are a huge profit center. I try to do the work myself since I know I will do the job right.

Had the brake pads done after receipt of letter from Honda (following I would say partially successful lawsuit) at 43,000KM on Aug. 4/10. Now at 63,000km needed to replace caliper. Make that 2 calipers as Honda apparently wants both calipers replaced at same time according to dealer.Surprise, surprise.!! Is this replacement by the owner of 2 calipers at his expense of $600.00 to $1,000. remove the problem for Honda? I believe the brake problem stems from the calipers and other flaws in the newly designed braking system and replacing the pads every 30-40,000KM will continue as long as we own our cars. Is that the only answer?

The front brake pads are 30% worn. Both the rear pads were worn through to the metal. Had to replace pads, replace caliper hardware. Repair shop indicated that he has repaired a few other 2008 Honda Models and feels it is a design problem, the rear pads wearing sooner than the rear. He suggested that I complain with Honda.

My opinion of Honda has gone way down after our interactions with them over our premature brake wear issues. After doing a little research online, this is obviously a defect in the 2008 and 2009 Accords, so why isn't Honda covering repairs under their warranty? Spending $600 out of pocket on this issue is guaranteeing that I won't purchase a Honda in the future...so they're saving $600 to lose $22,000.

I recently went to the dealer for the software updates for the transmission and VTEC/fuel injection. They did a free 49 pt. inspection and told me my rear brake pads needed to be replaced. I have owned 5 other Honda's since 1988 and I have never replaced rear brake pads before replacing the fronts and I have never had to replace any brake pads at 35K miles. After reading on this website and others, I have done well to get 35K miles out of these pads. I will be calling the dealer back and calling to complain to American Honda and also complaining to the NHTSB to try and get them to recall this problem. I can't believe a Car Co. would ignore a problem like this. Honda will lose me as a customer if they don't resolve this problem.

This is truly unusual. On my rear brakes, the inner pads are completely worn out, but the outer pad is fine at 21.3k mi. To change these pads, I also had to buy a special tool to compress the caliper cylinder.
This is a real pain, and I never, ever replaced rear pads before the front, and never with such low mileage. I hope the new ceramic pads last longer!

The brakes started making weird noises very early on, guessing 30k or so. This seems good compared to some others on this site. Had the brakes checked at every oil change after this point but told me they were ok. Grinding noises at 50k, replaced the rear pads. Sounds like I can expect to do this often.... Not Happy!

It is rare for the rear brakes to go out at @20K while the front brakes are almost new. BTW, it used 2007 pads, not 2008 (would not fit) on mine. Something is wrong with 2008 design, but then again, it is the first to roll out of the assembly line for this new body style. Expected problem(s), but Honda should cover all the cost. Now at @27K and it is starting to make noise again. Will have it checked soon.
Honda should be proactive with this type of complaint (if Honda still want to be on top of the pack.) The can learn something about the problem and make future improvement and/or going back with what worked well before instead of waiting for someone to file a law suite. The waiting game only costs more. It doesn't make sense.
This will be my last Honda.

I met with dealer after I discovered, from the lawyer, that the replacement brakes used where the same type that had premature wear...they were not the new brakes Honda was releasing soon.
I had to ask to have the correct replacement brakes put on my car when they came in...it was not offered to me.

We had to replace our back brakes around 35,000 miles. We were never aware, or told of a recall on the brakes. We paid a couple hundred dollars out of our pocket to get them fixed. We have been told our front brakes still look brand new. Really? back brakes going out before front ones??? Yet another problem Honda isn't fixing. I will NEVER buy another Honda and I have owned several in my life.
