1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2013

I recently had purchased a 2007 Honda Accord se from the Honda dealer on 12/20/2012. March of 2013 I wasf having some problems with my brakes, so I thought. I took it to the Honda dealer. They stated the caliper was sticking on the left rear side and that was the sound that I was hearing. So I had to have my caliper replaced and my brakes. So it is now August 2013, the same caliper is sticking again. But of course it is out of warranty to have it replaced again. . There has to be something wrong with this picture for the same exact problem in a little more a years time.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2012

Brakes unevenly have worn on the back, and there appears to be a caliper issue and the brake pads do not even cover the entire surface of the rotor. Suddenly the car had a very difficult time stopping. With less than 28k miles the brakes should be fine. The back brakes need to be replaced but the front brakes are fine and the pads cover the entire rotor. Honda needs to take responsibility for this faulty design of the rotors.

3 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2010

Had to slam on brakes at 65 mph, for the first time ever, to avoid a car that swerved in front of me. Shortly after, normal braking reulted in a dangerous wobble in the front wheels. I brouht to a Honda dealer the next day who advised the brake calipers were warped because I had slammed on the brakes. The dealer inspection reported front brakes had 75% life left (which is indicative of my moderate driving style), but were replaced when the calipers were ground to eliminate the warping. Dealer service rep advised the warping could happen any time I went down a hill or slammed on my breaks. Which to me is normal use. I complained that the calipers were seriously underbilt and was told it would be too espensive for Honda to make more robust ones for their cars. In other words, I should expect to get warped front calipers from normal everyday driving, to which the dealesr service rep agree. Basically I am stating that Honda has scrimped on the quality of their Honda Accord from brake calipers and the consummer has to pay for it. I have complained to Honda and was told that I could expect this problem in everyday driving on hills (I live in CT) or from slamming on the brakes. This is a dangerous situation being forstered on the consumer. I shudder to think what would have happend if I didn't have the work done the next morning, especially in winter driving.
