Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2004 Honda Accord

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. While the vehicle was parked, the air bag warning light illuminated and the radio failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pads, dome light, and multiple parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 252,869.

1) Honda Accord 2004 a/c compressor locked up /failed due to summer heat 2) pre-mature wear of rear brake pads at 30,298miles, 03/29/2008.

Brakes are failing prematurely. A 2004 Honda Accord lx 5 speed needed pads replaced at 35,100 miles. The rotors also had to be reserviced.

Rear disc brake pads on 2004 Honda Accord ex wore down quickly and unevenly, within 30,000 miles. Replacement was at owner's expense. Such short brake life is indicative of a defectively or inadequately designed rear disc brake system and could potentially be a safety issue. Searched the web and found that rapid rear disc brake wear is common on late-model Honda Accords. This complaint is being entered on behalf of my roommate, who is the purchaser/owner/driver of the vehicle.

The car makes a squealing / screeching noise while driving that appears to be coming from the rear brakes. I had the same problem on my 2001 Accord 4cyl now it's happening again on my 2004. I'm afraid that I will have to go what I went through before where every other oil change I needed rear brake pads and resurfacing of my rotors, but if I wasn't so diligent about getting my vehicle serviced who knows, I probably would lose all braking ability.

2004 Honda Accord ex w/24,000 miles and in service one year. Excessive noise (squealing) coming from front and rear brakes. Front pads had minimal wear but there was a crack down the center of each front pad (four in all) service manager says this is normal wear and tear and the cracks were probably caused by heat (a crack in the pad is not normal wear and tear but a problem). As for the rear brakes, the rear pads were worn completely down not equal to the front pads and by all accounts should have had less wear than the front pads because it is the front brakes that work the hardest.

I have a serious compliant regarding my Honda Accord. On June 13, 2005 my wife noticed a squealing noise coming from the right rear portion of the car. She scheduled an appointment for June 14 at desert Honda in las vegas. The service rep reported to me that the rear bakes were in need of replacement, this despite the fact that the car had only 16,271 miles. I find this issue to be unacceptable. We purchased a Honda largely due to a reputation of excellent reliability. Clearly we were mistaken. Either the dealership committed fraud by performing an unneeded repair, or Honda built a car with very poor quality. I do have the used brake pads, or at least what the dealer claims is the pads from our Accord. The repairs were not covered by warranty. I find the safety issue of brakes to be unacceptable considering the relative age of the vehicle. I know of another Honda Accord with the same problem.

Rear brake pad replacement at 14,000 miles. Service indicates 2 milimeters left on rear pads. Despite service stating 60% of braking is done by front brakes the rear need replacing. Additionally, driving habits also contributed to this. I own other Honda's and vehicles where my habits are the same and do not have this problem. Pads were replaced on rear.

: the contact stated the brakes roared and vibrated when going down a steep incline. Twice the dealership replaced the pads and turned the rotors. The contact was unsure if the rear or front brakes were repaired. The first time was on occurred 11-04. The second time was in 2006. The brakes continued to roar and vibrate. The dealer informed the contact this was normal and recommended the contact down shift when coming down a steep incline and allow the vehicle roll off of the hill instead of using the brakes.
