It was a cold winter morning, 9 degrees to be exact. I'm in the car with my 2yr old daughter. I pull out of the parking spot, I make it 50 feet and the brakes begin to fail. Im pumping the brake to slow down due to a car in the middle of the road at a stand still. I hit the brakes a second and third time I glimpse down wondering why is the car not slowing down or stopping I continue stomping onto the brake. I started to scream in realization that this is happening. I collide into the back of the car that was at a stand still. The worst experience of my life. I was not even a full 2 blocks away from my home I could not comprehend how my brakes just failed after I repeatedly pressed down on them. Please investigate this who knows how many people experienced this. I crossed an intersection when this happened, thank god I had the green light and there was no one crossing. The 2 people in the car I collided into were also fine.

We purchased our vehicle at honolulu, hi, Honda pfluger (now pacific Honda). With the proper maintenance, the vehicle has been performing satisfactorily until now. Only minor defects were noted, such as battery replacement within the 3-years or 36,000 miles warranty. On 01/08/15, we took our vehicle to the closest Honda dealer in austin, tx, because, for the last three weeks, when the vehicle has sat for a while, the breaks will not work when backing up: The peddle goes about halfway down and sticks, will not go back nor down, and the hand break had to be pulled up to stop the vehicle. In order to have the vehicle tested, we left our vehicle at howdy Honda. The next day, the maintenance consultant informed us that the break master cylinder was leaking into the booster, and that a complete replacement of such part would be necessary. The cost of the repair would be $946, plus taxes, because the part was not covered by the vehicle?S warranty. On the Honda warranty booklet, the aforementioned part is not included in the list of non-covered parts (page 9); the malfunction has not been caused by the improper use of our car: We have never used it for business or unusual sport or other activities; the master cylinder is the original part installed by Honda; and no third-party technician has ever attempted to repair it. The defect in the master cylinder and booster is very unusual; almost any 2010 Honda Accord with 31,409 miles shows this kind of issue. Hence, we strongly believe that the master cylinder malfunction is a case of a part that is defective in material or workmanship under normal use. Furthermore, the above described part malfunction represents an enormous safety issue that could have caused an accident which potential personal, physical, and psychological damages against us and third parties. The car is inoperative in its current condition.

- Haymarket, VA, USA

Rear brake pads and rotors worn out. Front brake pads had approximately 70 percent wear remaining. Contacted Honda customer care and this car was not included, per VIN number, recall for Honda with pre-mature brake pad wear on the rear.

I purchased this car new in May 2011. Within almost two years I had to replace the original brake pads and rotors I was told by my local dealer that this is normal. I have never had to replace brakes with such low mileage. Now as of today, 06/18/2014 my car has been back in the shop twice with in the last two months for more brake problems. I replaced the right rear caliper in 4/2014 with about 720000 miles and now today I am replacing the left rear caliper. I have had a Honda Accord coupe that I have put well over 100000 miles on and have never had to replace calipers. I am very unhappy and I think an investigation should be put on this car year of 2010 brake system as there are several complaints on the net regarding this. I have spent almost $2000 on brakes this is ridiculous with having a such a "new" car also had a problem w tires had to replace at 48000 also stock Michelin tires. Unheard of Honda needs to do better with their stock parts!

- Saratoga Springs , NY, USA

Took car for routine service and was told rear brake pads and rotors were worn and needed to be replaced, after only 38,856 miles. My VIN number is not listed as eligible in 2010 Honda brake recall settlement. I think Honda should be responsible for these repairs.

- Charlottesville, VA, USA

Rear brake pads and rotors worn to end of useful life after only 38697 miles.

- Fremont, CA, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the brakes were applied in extremely cold weather but the brake pedal would not respond. The pedal was resistant to being depressed, which was a recurring failure when there was snow or extremely cold weather. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic test, who stated that the brake booster valve was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was alerted of the failure and declined to provide any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 54,901. Updated 7/14/14 updated 07/18/2014

I purchased my 2010 Honda Accord new 2/2010. I've completed all the necessary maintenance requirements & get my oil changed every 3 months despite what Honda recommends. After hearing a mild grinding sound in the passenger rear tire, I thought it was some dirt/pebble. To my surprise, my mechanic told me my rear brakes were worn down & needed to be replaced at 35,000 mi. My mechanic said he had similar experiences w/ other Honda customers. I replaced the rear brake pads w/ aftermarket brake pads because my mechanic believed they were superior to the Honda brake pads. The front brakes have 80% life. I've never had to replace my brakes on my previous cars w/ mileage under 55,000. I started my research on the internet afterwards & found the 2010 Honda class-action law suit regarding the rear brakes on specific yrs of the Honda Accord. Honda was not required to issue a recall on the rear brakes. Honda Accord brake pads should last up to 70,000 miles. Unfortunately the repair deadline & eligibility included brake pads replaced with Honda brake pads & installation of those brake pads within 3 yrs of when the car was first sold. I've owned my Accord for 4 yrs & I replaced the brake pads w/ aftermarket pads. Since I have little recourse other than to write Honda or go to the local service dept, I opted to share my experience w/ other consumers, rather then remain silent & frustrated. I doubt I'll make any progress w/ contacting Honda. I truly enjoy my Honda Accord & its performance. I am extremely disappointed w/ Honda & their lack of commitment to customer satisfaction & resolving an inferior part issue that is clearly their responsibility as noted w/ all the online customer documentation. Honda has forced their customers to pay for their mistake, refusing to take ownership of a costly, extremely, premature automotive repair.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda civic. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the contact heard a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the brakes had worn prematurely. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage and VIN was not available.

- Ocean Side, CA, USA

At 25844 miles, rear brake pads were replaced. At 69098 rear brake pads and rotors were replaced. This frequency of wear and replacement is unacceptable. We've been driving Honda for over 30 years and never had this problem.

- Amherst, MA, USA

Replaced rear brake pads at 22000 miles, now at 27000 miles have to replace all 4 rotors and pads.

- Rittman, OH, USA

When I went to apply the brakes to stop at an intersection, the brake pedal was hard and brakes did not work at all. If it is under 20 degrees outside, this happens when the car is first driven after sitting for awhile. I am now looking at replacing the brake booster and check valve. This is a major safety concern because I do not know if my car will stop or not when I am driving. After doing some research, Honda had recalled previous years models for this same issue, but there is not a recall for this particular model year. Several people in forums are complaining of the same issues. Perhaps yet another class action lawsuit is in order for.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rear brakes started making a terrible noise at highway speeds. Car was vibrating when slowing to a stop. Noticed braking reduction. This was the second time the rear brakes have been replaced at 36,000 miles.

- Palmyra, VA, USA

I found that Honda Accord has recalls. I got my oil change in April/may - 2013 for my Honda Accord and Honda dealer found everything good and brakes were close to 8 (on the brake measuring scale) on all the wheels. In just 2 months, the rear brake started making noise and then I came across the Honda Accord brake recall issue. Now I have got the repair done and sent the details to Honda. Honda is denying the reimbursement saying that my car does not fall in the recall category (they have selected some vins which meets those conditions). My question is how Honda can decide which vins have the problems and which does not have until people report them. Anyway, I am very unhappy with Honda about not reimbursing this repair cost.

- Coraopolis, PA, USA

The rear brake started making noise. When I checked at the repair shop they told me that I need to have the rear brake replaced. The total cost I was told was $ $305.66. The car was approximately driven - 26500 miles that too under normal conditions, mostly on highways.

- Moon Township, PA, USA

I had tires rotated at 36K miles and Firestone advised me of irregular wear on my right rear brakes. The brake pad rubs constantly based on a caliper and rotor malfunction. I verified recalls pertaining to my Honda and found no relevant information; however, it appears there is a problematic issue with premature and irregular wear. Honda should be held accountable for faulty brake components leading to unwarranted safety vulnerabilities and excessive consumer expenses.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA

While puting rear wheels on lock, and then rotating tires by hand, makes sound of two metals touching with each others, this experiment made by me when I noticed that my rear brake pads are worn out rapidly, then I replaced brake pads in fire stone, but problem remained the same, I visited fire stine again, they said that is manufacturing defect, then I found out from various on line sourses that certain Honda Accord made during 2007 to 2010 have same defect from factory, looks like brake assembly line from supplier is defective during certain period.in short rear brake pads always remains touching with brake plates without pressing brake pad, not too much but little bit.

- Windsor Locks, CT, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an oil change and the dealer stated that the rear brake pads needed to be replaced. The contact stated that they did not have any problem with the brakes, but the brakes had worn prematurely. The VIN was not available the failure and current mileages were 18,000.

- Williams Town, NJ, USA

The rear brake pads were completely worn down @22,004 miles while front pads are great (8mms). I'm a old, good driver and never replace the back brake pads first. This sounds like a safety defect. I know something is wrong! Honda needs fix the back brakes!
