Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2009 Acura TSX

I have a 2009 Acura Tsx. At about 34,000 miles I started noticing a high-pitched noise coming from the rear passenger side. Took the vehicle in, and they determined that it was my rear brake pads. Nearly all of my driving is highway, indicating that there may be an issue with the integrity of the rear braking system. Cost to replace was $250.

At 20,000 miles I was informed that I will need rear brake pads on my 2009 Tsx. After I left the appointment, my brakes began squealing and grinding when stopping or slowing down. This seems premature and I would like an investigation.

1. Excessive brake pad wear was noted on inboard side of rear brakes during routine service (at 21,000 miles). 2. Pads were replaced by dealer.

Abnormal brake wear: I bought this certified, one-year-old dealer demo in January with approx. 10,000 miles on it. Between then and a service appointment in late April, I put another 8,500 mostly highway miles on the car. At the service appointment I was told that I needed to replace the rear brakes as they were on the verge of failure. I was also told such excessive wear was common in this model as well as the Honda accord. I have never had to replace breaks at 18,500 miles, much less after 8,500. I was shrugged off by the service department and basically instructed that my best option was to purchase a lifetime warranty on the pads to help off-set the costs of constantly replacing them (this way I'm only out time and labor) due to a braking system that the dealership admitted had a design flaw but that they somehow couldn't fix. I don't understand why Honda/Acura is allowed to blow off repairing a defect in a safety component as critical as the braking system.

Rear brake pads were worn out and needed to be replaced at 16k miles on my new Acura Tsx 2009 car.

I have a 2009 Acura Tsx. At 17k miles the dealership said there was 7 mm left of rear brake pads. At 23k the brakes started to squeal. Dealer said 3mm left and needed replacement. When left, the squealing was gone. At 26k they state there is 00mm left. The dealership will not correct the problem. No break pad should wear out in this short amount of time.

The contact owns a 2009 Acura Tsx. He states that while braking he heard screeching and grinding noises. This has been occurring for 2 weeks now. The dealer was contacted and they stated that it was a premature wear. The contact is concerned about the safety risk. The brake pads were replaced at the owners expense at $232. 94 dollars. The contact states that this is a premature brake issue. The failure mileage was 13535 and current mileage was 13600. Updated 2/22/10 updated 06/01/10.

Brakes on Acura 2009 Tsx wearing more frequently that they should. My Acura began to make noise 2 days ago. It seemed like it was coming from the drivers side wheel, but I couldn't tell if it was front or back. I dropped it off at the dealership at 7:00 am this morning and told them to call me after they identified the problem and before they made any repairs. They said they recommend brake pads being changed every 15,000 miles. I have never had to do that for any vehicle I've owned (I am on my 3rd Acura and never had this issue with the 2 tls I had). They said they would cover the front, but I needed to pay for the back. Approx. $350 for the work and materials.
