My brakes will be stuck (I could not apply the brake) when I suddenly press down the brake pedal hardly. I had this issue when I bought it new. I have reported the issue to Honda once I did online survey. Today, I was involved in an car accident because I could not apply brake. I hit the car in front of me in the street. The brake works fine after the accident if I press the pedal slowly. This is dangerous and scary.
Takata recall I had an air bag recall back in 2016. I noticed the electrical system of the car is always giving me problems. For example the light inside in the middle of the vehicle works whenever it feels like working. Second the passenger side of the window motor I already changed it 3 times and it's still giving me trouble. I already spent too much money I gave up on trying to fix it. Also I already lost count on how many times I have changed my brakes minding that I hardly drive my car. In addition my gas never last either no matter what kind of gas I put. Tried all of them and it's always the same. I bought my vehicle because they promised me I would spend less gas but that was not true.
The contact owns a 2010 Honda Civic. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the contact heard a squeaking noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake pads and rotors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred every 3,300 miles. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 17,435.

I bought my Honda Civic brand new in 2010 and I had to change both front and rear brakes three times already, and now I need to change my front disc and brakes again! I also have machine turned the rotors once and now I have to replace the front rotors because recently on highway driving, when I need to use my brakes, the car wobbles and shakes. I was told by an auto mechanic that it's my front rotors that need to be replaced. I only have a little over 58,000 miles on my car and mostly highway driving! my son has a 2009 Honda Civic and he only had to change his brakes once since buying the car new!! I understand there's lots of complaints about the 2010 Civic's brakes and this has to be a recall that Honda need to address! I do not have a job and this is costing me unnessesary expense that I can't afford!
Like I keep reading...I've had to replace my brakes on my Civic multiple times too. This is my first Honda, but I have had VW, Toyota/Scion and I never had an issue like this with my brakes, so I know it is not due to my driving abilities. If I knew about the additional brake expense that I would incur, I would have not purchased a Honda product.
Since purchasing my Civic in 2013, I have had to replace the front brakes twice, once in January, 2014 and again in February 2016. The brakes began grinding and slowly stopped working over a very short amount of time. This vehicle is not driven in stop-and-go traffic very much, mostly highway travel and so twice in 3 years is at least once too much and if you figure that is it only 6 years old, even twice is too many.
I had to replace the brakes on my Honda a year after purchase. No matter what breaks I replace them with the brakes seam to wear-out very fast. Since my purchase in 2010 I have replaced the breaks on the Honda several times (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), it almost seams to be needing replacement every year. Also since 2013, the paint on the car seams to be pealing, cracking, and has became very cloudy. I will not purchase a Honda again.
If you apply your brakes harder than gentle, the brakes will feel like they are skipping. You almost need to stop apply the brakes before it goes away. I've owned a Honda Accord 1993 for over 20 yrs and never experienced this. If I knew what I know today, I would have never bought another Honda!
As mentioned by other owners, I had to replace my brakes in -25000 miles where as a former Honda Accord owner, I replaced the brakes every -55-60K. The quality and safety of the 2010 brake system is very unsafe especially since I took the car -25000 miles to the westminster Honda world and they didn't even catch it! moreover not even within warranty period!
I have had many automobiles over my almost 60 years of driving. I do not remember having brakes replaced at less then 35,000 miles of use, & have gone as much as 60,000 before needing replacement. My current Honda Civic 2010 now needs brakes at 16, 000 miles something is radically wrong with my car as manufactured to make this early replacement necessary.
Brakes need to changed around 10 K miles each time. Dealership said there is no issue on the brakes and couldn't tell me why I need too change it so often. Per other Civic users, there may be something that made the brake wear so quickly. There is no reason why the brakes so wear quickly. I believe it should be recall.
The breaks were changed in the front at about 30,000 miles and the car now has 65,000. A day after the breaks were changed, at a dealership, they began to squeal very load. I have taken the car back 4 times to complain about the noise. Each time they told me that they sanded the breaks lightly and put stop squeak on. Not more than a few days after each incident the problem continued. The breaks tend to make this ear splitting sound on decline and at low rates of speed. Hot or cold does not seem to matter. This problem happens about 70% of the time when breaking. The car is used 50%/50% for city and freeway driving. 40% of which is traffic. I just want this problem to stop. Also sun visor no longer will stay up. Annoying.
My brakes make a whistling riming loud sound. Sounds like a belt. This should definitely be a recall. What has happened to Honda I had another Civic for 15years never had a problem this one has been nothing but problems please fix.
Every 9,000 to 10,000 miles rear brake pads worn out prematurely causing rotors to lock up without warning. I believe this issue occurred on almost all 2010 Honda Civic. In normal driving condition brake pads should last at least 30,000 miles in compare to other major car manufactures. Please investigate this with Honda and find a remedy for the fix.
After purchasing my 2010 Honda Civic, within a month after putting 5,000 on my Honda Civic I had to replace the brakes, brakes are faulty, ive went thru 2 brake jobs within a year and only 12,000 miles.......need to recall the brakes.
It started as a scraping noise located on the right side of the wheel, on the fourth day the noise was overwhelmingly loud, scraping sound even though my speed was under the limit. I took my car to ntb for repair and was shocked! replaced disc brake pads, brake shoes, two rotors even though the one looked smooth they both hsd to be replaced.
Today, 9/24/2014, I had to replace my front brakes for the second time and the car has only 46,147 miles on it. My wife and I drive the car very carefully and we don't live in a mountain area. First time we changed the brakes was at 10,000 miles. I chose Honda Civic because of previous Honda I had, and none of the previous Honda had brakes issues like our 2010 Civic. I had a 2008 Civic which I leased at that time, and I exited the lease at 36,000 miles without having to change the brakes once! I feel that my 2010 Civic has a defective brakes and the service department where I had my car serviced at said they heard similar complaints. Honda needs to put the safety of their clients ahead and admit of their faulty brake pads and issue a recall on the 2010 Honda Civic. Thank you!
