Brake Grinding Noise Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

There was no problems indicated with the stopping ability of the car when all of a sudden a loud grinding noise was heard when the brakes were applied. The car was immediately taken to the dealer only 2 miles away and when it was inspected I was told both passenger side brakes were down to metal with no pads left. The dealer said something had failed causing the condition which was requiring more parts to be replaced. If we were farther from the dealer ( barber Honda bakersfield) this could have resulted in complete brake failure is my understanding.

I purchased my vehicle brand new April 2017. I am hearing a grinding, scratching noise coming from the front tires at low speeds (20 mph). I have 24,000 miles on the car and have gone to my local Honda dealership to have every scheduled maintenance service. I'm not sure why my vehicle is having this loud grinding noise, especially when I have my windows down. The performance of my brakes are also not functioning properly because I can feel the grinding on the brake pedal and can hear the thumping noise when I am coming to a stop. I am concerned for my safety even more so now because I've noticed a lot of complaints about the same issue on this website.

Please note that there was a recall for the 2013 Honda Accord for similar issues. The vehicle will at times not start and only make a grinding noise when depressing the start button, this still occurring after changing the battery and starter twice in addition to the fob battery. I speculate that the braking system may contribute to this issue as sometimes the car will start after pumping/pressing the brake pedal a few times or just holding it after initial attempt to start the car (very frustrating). New issue involves the car starting while only pressing the brake and moving the gear shifter (dangerous as a kid can start the vehicle without pressing the start button). Have reported the issue to Honda (local/California main) and spoke to a Honda representative yesterday (5/7/2019) to no avail. Please issues a recall for these cars having this issue before someone gets hurt, or worse, looses their lives. This has been going on for years and is almost on a daily basis, last even was today.

I have had the vehicle in the shop numerous times for not being able to open the gas tank to fill up the car. Seals coming off the doors. Entertainment system quit working and not responding. Now the vehicle slams on its breaks for no reason when no vehicles are around. Also the vehicle departs it's lane when it is supposed to keep me in it. Also the vehicles brakes grind when I step on them. Also the car makes a grinding noise when I step on the gas pedal and the vehicle sometimes stays in 4000 rpm when driving done the road. Also when driving down the road and going 70 mph and I step on the breaks the whole car sometimes shakes and doesn't stop when needed. It started with issues when I got the vehicle not much later. It current only 17800 miles on it and I shouldn't be having these issues.

We financed a 2017 Honda Accord sport cvt on July 17, 2017. We have noticed various issues with the lag/hesitation upon accelerating as well as braking and steering. We searched online to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issues and found multiple complaints revolving around this model vehicle. Less than 11,000 miles, we noticed the front passenger brakes were getting really low and wearing unevenly compared to the other three, I. E. Screeching; which was odd and concerning since it had 11,000 miles and only one side was worn down. December 2017, the passenger front brakes became so low, when applying the brakes there was a metal on metal, grinding noise. We visually inspected the brakes and could see the brake pads on the passenger side were almost non-existent, as well as the wear on the rotors. We took the car to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle on 12-12-17 and they claimed the brake pads were wearing evenly/normal; the other service station at this location agreed that its not normal for the car the have less than 12000 miles for the first brake pads to be changed let alone worn unevenly. The concern wasn't the brake pads being changed, it is the mechanical function of the piston and caliper was causing the problem, or another underlying issue; having less than 12,000 miles isn't right. They didn't care, thought we wanted brakes changed for free. We filed a claim with Honda regarding the safety and wear of the brakes. The dealership replaced the brake pads,turned the rotators. The problem is still there and the piston getting "hung" may be the underlining reason for why the car lags when trying to accelerate. If it is depressed, its possible the brakes are wearing down while accelerating. Safety is our first concern, and we feel there is a deeper problem that should be looked at. Will speak in further detail regarding these and other issues.

Loud grinding noise coming from front wheels on 2017 Accord sport since almost new. Very noticeable at lower speeds. Honda dealer insisted grinding noise was from tire/rim combination and not items such as rotors, brakes, and/or wheel bearings, etc. .

This is a safety raised issue on a 2008 Accord-lxp that I purchased used (which had about 29k originally when I purchased it as a certified Honda Accord) from herb chambers boston. Since I purchased the car, I started hearing an odd grinding noise when starting the car on cold days - Honda said just keep oil full. I then find out that a recall had been issued to fix the oil consumption, that Honda had finally agreed there was an issue with the engine design and would fix it and at the same time would not cause other issues to emerge such as vtc and the timing chain issues. Recently my engine light came on, I started researching the problem. It was the first time I knew about the following issues which I will be detailing/describing below. Results were bad: a timing chain failure. My car has stopped in the middle of road causing a very dangerous situation which could led to me losing my life. Not, only that, when I tried to just drive the car a mile back to my house it was accelerating and decelerating by it self. In addition, I decided to take it to the dealership for a diagnoses, I almost ended up in couple accidents. The car was uncontrollable and won't stop and the brakes won¿t respond due to issues caused by oil consumption, to vtc actuator to a timing chain failure: the car keep accelerating and decelerating by it self on the road or highway. Note: ideally the timing chain should not fail on 58k miles. Simplified sequence of problems: oil consumption issue vtc (valve timing control) actuator timing chain (either loose or broken) safety issue.

When I apply my brakes I hear a grinding noise. It doesn't happen all of the time. . It is intermittent. I have taken it to the Honda dealership twice and both times they have told me they don't see or hear anything that might be wrong. They drive it for about a mile. Naturally, it usually happens on the weekend when the dealership service department is closed.

Just bought my Accord in September 2013 with 105k miles on it. When I test drove the vehicle I noticed that the brakes were sticky. When I came to a complete stop then when I accelerated it took a second or two for the brakes to release then accelerate again. They told me that they had just replaced the brakes and that's the reason why that it was doing that. So within a month later I brought it in cause the problem never went away. They fixed the problem and just put brake fluid and bleed the brakes. The car ran a little better and the brakes weren't sticking as much. Two months later I had to replace the brake pads. Brakes were still sticky. 3 months later I had to replace them again. Then I noticed that when I would due over 60 mph that when I would press the brakes that the car would shake and pull to the left. I then got a aliment and still the car would shake when I would accelerate and brake. I then replaced all four rotors. Problem stopped. Two months later the cars left lower control arm was giving out. Had to replace both right and left side. One month later I hear the brakes making a loud grinding noise. I had to replace the pads again. I find that every 2 to 3 months I have to replace my brakes. All this money being spent is not fair. Honda needs to recall these brake systems. My airbag light and engine light keeps coming on and off. Also my stereo light goes off and on . Help me please.

Sudden screeching of rear brakes and short after grinding noise when breaking. Took car to get brakes checked and had to replace brake pads due to calipers sticking and making interior pads wear out completely while exterior pads where still good. Rotors worn to or below minimum specifications. Will have to replace both rear rotors and calipers. I have never had to replace rotors or calipers on any car, not even with 86k miles on them and on this 2009 Honda Accord ex-l I have to replace them at 46,413 miles? this is not good! Honda should pay for all expenses and parts. Lowest quote to replace with oem is approximately $750. 00 what would the cost be if I would of not hear the noise and check the brakes?.

There was grinding noise for couples days on and off. Vehicle was dropped at local dealer and rear brake had to be replaced. Vehicle mileage was only at 22k miles. Considering that Accord is fwd, I was wondering why rear brake worn out much faster than typical life time of brake pads.

07 Honda Accord rear brake pad pins become rusted and will not let the rear brake pads release, causing them to be applied all of the time, on one pad on each side, causing excessive wear and damage to the brake pads and brake rotors. This car has 45000 miles on it and I had to replace the rear pads and rotors on this car. The sides that stuck on my car were the ones without the wear indicators. My wife heard a grinding noise and then I checked out the rear brake system and found the problem. A salesman at advance auto told me to check these pins, because he had seen this problem several times. I think Honda needs to step forward and make this problem known to the public, several have complained on internet web sites about this problem on 07 models, but there seems to be many more complaints coming in on the 08 Accord models.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting a grinding noise when the brake was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the failure was located as the rear brake pads wearing prematurely. The dealer replaced the brake pads twice, but the failure was not corrected.

I own a 2008 Honda Accord with 24k miles on it. I took it to my dealer because I heard a metal grinding noise from the rear passenger wheel. The dealer notified me that the rear brakes on my vehicle had less than 2mm of brake pad remaining which I validated with a visual inspection. My front brakes had just over 8mm of brake pads remaining (normal wear). It is clear that this is a manufacturers default in either the brake pads or design. I am concerned that this could become a safety issue since it is not a reasonable deduction by most owners of a 2008 Honda Accord that brake pads would wear out within `20k miles and ignore the symptoms. The dealer charged me $150 to replace the brake pads.

I purchased a 2009 Honda and had it service every 3000 miles. Upon my second servicing of the car I had the dealership to check my brakes cause they were squeaking; the representative stated that the brake rotors tend to rust and the reason why I was hearing the brakes upon compression. So, me being a woman and all I thought the representative being honest with me however, I drove the car for another week and I could hear this grinding noise while driving as if metal and metal was rubbing together. I thought maybe it would go away but it didn't it kept on and then it suddenly stopped. However, the brakes started scrubbing real bad so I took it for servicing same story. . . They cleaned off the rotors and nothing else. So it was getting close to my 25k check so I simply prayed and ignored the annoying sound until I was able to take it in. When I did the representative tells me that my rear brake pads need to be replaced I was like that doesn't make any sense - why would I need to replace the rear pads when I drive a front wheel drive automobile. I was extremely messed up about it and complained so they offered to pay half and I the other I told I wasn't going to pay anything. . Read more...

I have an Honda Accord ex purchased on oct 2008. Ever since 3000 miles I have been hearing a squealing noise when I deploy the brakes. In August 17, 2009 the squeal turned into a grinding noise and I had to replace both rear brake pads. My car has only 20,000 miles. I suspect the quality of the part is below par if not defective. Also I suspect that the right part is not being used on the new generation of Accords (2008, 2009) thereby causing excessive wear and tear. Please investigate this issue.

I purchased a 2008 Honda Accord in February 2008. I started experiencing break noises around 10000 miles, I contacted Honda regarding the concerns. Honda assured me that this was because the breaks get wet during rain and washing. Wrong, after I refused to accept this as an answer, at 12,000 mi I demanded a recheck by Honda. I was then informed that a rock was enlodged in the wheel. Liar, at 13,000mi, after another trip to Honda because I was now hearing grinding noises when backing out of the driveway, Honda replaced the back break pads and stated that they were completely gone. Approximately 26,000 miles the same exact noises started again, I drove another 2,000miles and decided to have them checked again at Honda. I was insulted by Honda insinuating that I was a bad driver. I responded that I have been driving since the age of 13 and that was an insult because I am now at the age of 44 yrs old. I then stated that I have alot of highway miles on my vehicle because my daughter is out of town in college and I visit her often, this is why I purchased a Honda because I always heard that they were reliable and dependable and good on gas, not. I have owned Oldsmobile, GMC, chevy, Cadillac, Mazda, Mitsubishi's and have never experienced this type of bull. Then Honda svc mgr and general mgr insisted that I pay for a break job because Honda was generous to replace them the first time at 13,000 miles and the car was under warranty. Duh, I purchased an extended warranty and I was told that this would cover anything from bumper to bumper. Honda then came back 5 hrs later with a phone call stating that they would try to contact Honda to see if they would cover half the expense. This is not good enough for me because the way it looks, I will be replacing brakes every other oil change. This is a disgrace and Honda needs to be pulled on the red carpet to stand behind this mess up and honor their customers. Maybe if the recession affect them then they will change.

The rear brakes on my 2008 Honda Accord are wearing out far faster than seems reasonable. The first time they wore out was at approximately 14,000 miles while this second instance has happened at about 26,000 miles. The brakes start making a very loud metallic grinding noise and reduced braking power with almost no warning. Honda's solution to this problem is to simply say it's normal brake wear on the vehicle and then require that the rotors be turned and the brake pads be replaced, after charging an absurd diagnostic fee. The front brakes on the vehicle have yet to require replacement and were still shown as having around 60% life at the most recent check.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the contact heard a grinding noise as if the brake pads were striking the rotors. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they stated that they were receiving numerous complaints about the noise for her type of vehicle. They suggested that the braking mechanism could be the cause of the failure or either the rear brakes were faulty. The vehicle only has 17,000 miles and the brakes were supposed to last for 12,000 miles. In addition, the calipers were locking and not releasing. The dealer stated that they would not repair the brakes because the vehicle was not under warranty. Furthermore, the rear brakes were previously repaired on the vehicle. The additional repair was made at the contact's expense. The failure mileage was 17,701 and current mileage was 17,834.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph when the brakes were abruptly applied and the vehicle exhibited an abnormal grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised her that the front and rear brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Approximately 15,000 miles later, the failure recurred when decelerating. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they advised the contact that rear brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired a second time but again, the failure recurred while the contact was driving approximately 40 mph. The vehicle would shutter and the grinding noise had become increasingly louder. In addition, while attempting to start the vehicle the contact noticed a loud noise for approximately two seconds. The contact checked the oil dipstick and discovered that there was no oil in the engine. The dealer advised having an oil consumption test performed and driving the vehicle for an additional 1,000 miles before confirming the failure. The contact was concerned about the oil consumption and the engine failing. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000 and the current mileages were approximately 43,000.

Heard metal grinding noises; assumed it was the brakes. I took it in to Honda for an inspection. I was told the rear brakes needed to be replaced. Brakes should not have to be replaced after one yr four months - especially rear only. Front brakes should go first on front wheel drive. Was told it was designed that way. Owned two other Accords in past. Brakes last two - three years. We should be informed of this before purchase. Replacing brakes are expensive. Heard same complaint from two other same model/year owners.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. When the brake pedal was depressed at any speed, the brakes made a very loud grinding noise. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the rear brakes were worn prematurely. The brake pads and rotors were replaced, but the failure recurred 20,000 miles and six months later. The vehicle is currently in the shop having the brake pads and rotors replaced again. The contact believes that a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 18,000 and current mileage was 38,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. As she was driving 45 mph there was a grinding noise when shifting from second to third gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they found the third gear grind synco was worn out. The dealer informed her that this was a part of the automatic transmission and it will be repaired under the warranty. She also stated that she had brake failure as she depressed the brakes when they extended to the floor. The dealer had to replace the brake pads at her expense for $116. The manufacturer was not contacted in regards to any of these failures. The failure mileage was 35,000.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle had a longer braking distance. This occurred on two separate occasions. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, where the problem could not be duplicated. Updated 2/12/2007 - the rear brakes had to be replaced although they had less than 5000 miles in them. The consumer feels that the rear brake are doing most of the braking which is causing the vehicle to slide rather than stop. The dealer told the consumer that they think his driving habits are the cause of the brakes wear so quickly. When rolling down the right or left front windows the consumer heard a grinding noise. The technician lubricated the window glass runs.

1) new wheel bearing at 10,768 miles 2) new transmission and removal/replacement of same shift cable at 10,791 miles (service tech acknowledges the noise on the work ticket) 3) rotate and balance of tires due to a serious vibration problem in the steering wheel at 10,791 miles 4) resurfacing of original rotors, 4-wheel alignment due to noise at 11,002 miles 5) replacement of old rotors with new rotors and brake pads at 11,184 miles. We cannot understand why all this work has been performed on our vehicle if everyone now states that they cannot hear the grinding noise. We have made multiple good faith attempts (5 logged which includes the final attempt, and 1 not logged), to have our car repaired correctly. At this time, we are only left with the route of arbitration procedures or be left with a substandard Honda product.

I bought a new Honda Accord lx in may of 2004. As the brakes wore down they began to have a surge type of problem and make a grinding noise once in a while. When I replaced the brake pads I found that one of the pads was close to being worn out on one side of the rotor and the other was like new, on both left and front rotors. After I replaced them, everything seemed to be fine until after they had worn about 25,000 miles. Now they have about 45,00 miles on them. Now they are doing it again except the surge problem is much worse this time and the steering wheel will shake violently sometimes if I put the brakes on hard. Sometimes the problem seems to be minor and sometimes it is really bad. I ask the Honda people about it and they want money to put it on the rack to look at it; something I don't have a lot of. Hope this will be of help to someone else.

Brakes failed to grab when in an emergency breaking situation and the car would not stop which caused me to hit another vehicle. The brakes have been making a gringing noise when applied even prior to this incident. I took it to the dealer and they stated there was a stone between the pads and the rotors. The grinding noise persists.
