Brake Light On problems of the 2008 Honda Accord

The brake light continues to go on and off on the dashboard. I have changed my brakes, replaced the brake fluid and the problem persists. I have went to Honda and they can only tell you the cost for the repair. I have seen quite a few complaints on other websites with the same problem. I have found multiple websites with the same problem for the 2008, 2009 and 2007 Honda Accord, I cannot understand how it's affecting a significant amount of vehicles for the Honda Accord and there is not a recall listed. Especially when it can cause hazardous driving conditions. The light comes on within a minute or two of driving and turns off after reaching 40 mph. Other times it stays on and the vsa light comes on.

Vsa brake and abs light come on and off intermittently. Braking test with lights on show abs does not work. Numerous complaints on web sites about moisture entering the control module. No response from Honda other than replace the $1200. 00 module.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving, the abs, the vsc and brake warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The contact was also informed that the repair parts needed to be ordered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

Brakes had to be changed at 11,000 miles. Honda said it was normal "wear and tear. " brake light came on at 24,000 miles, followed by a crashing shrill sound the day after. Extremely loud, shrill sound with acceleration. Had to get car towed today following incident. This is a safety and quality concern and Honda refuses to take responsibility for their defective vehicles.

I am a first time buyer of a Honda automobile. I purchased my Honda for the reliability and quality reputation that they were to possess. I first noticed a loud scrapping noise coming from the rear of my car at 37,000 miles. I asked fellow automotive manufacturing employees what they thought it could be. The response was always it can't be the pads because of the low mileage. I took the car to the dealership. The dealership determined I needed to replace the rear pads and that the wear was normal. I was not satisfied with that answer, so upon picking up my Accord I asked for the old pads. The inside pad was completely worn while the pad for the same wheel for the outside was quite the opposite with plenty of pad left. The dealership tried to explain the inconsistent wear due to a emergency brake cable engagement. I did not see the brake light on the dash lit up at all. Investigating this issue further because of my concern with faulty brakes, I have learned I am not alone. I will not tolerate replacing and paying for a problem that is clearly a manufacturing issue of poor quality and what may turn into a life loss if not understood. Safety is number one at Honda manufacturing?.

My Honda Accord sedan ex had rear brakes replaced at 25,744 miles. I started hearing a metal scrapping noise from the rear of my car when backing up. I brought my car into a Honda dealership and was told by the service advisor that my rear brake pads had to be replaced. He told me that the replacement would not be under warranty as this is normal wear & tear. He asked me if I "brake lightly" as this may have been one of the reasons which led to this problem. Believe me, I am a bit naive about cars, but I didn't think that I had the car long enough to have to have new bake pads installed, needless to say the rear versus the front. I found a web site carcomplaints. . Read more...
