I bought a new 2008 Honda Accord in August 2008. I took it in to be serviced today for routine maintenance to the cramer Honda of venice. My Accord has 29,000 miles. I was told by ron, in the service department, that I had to replace my rear brakes immediately. They are not covered under warranty or recall. I was told my brakes were really, really, bad. I was told Honda Accord has defective rear brakes. Honda is aware of this problem but is not correcting it under warranty or recall because it has a class action lawsuit filed against them. I was told driving with these brakes could be deadly. They advised me I have to pay to have my brakes be replaced immediately. I have never had to replace brakes at 29, 000 miles. Honda told me the Accord brakes are defective. Honda knows there is a risk with these brakes and have failed to correct such a problem. I have not been notified by Honda of such danger. Why won't Honda recall/replace their defective brakes when the risk of not doing so is deadly.

Premature rear brake failure I purchased a new 2008 Honda Accord v6 automatic transmission coupe on 8/2/08. I had the car serviced on 4/8/10 to change the oil, rotate tires, and a brake inspection. On this date, the car has 17,420 miles on it. The dealer informed me that the rear brakes had reached their service limit and had to be replaced immediately. The dealer reported that the front brakes did not need replacing and had "9. 0mm to sensor" remaining. The total cost of rear brake replacement after a 15% parts and labor discount was applied was $229. 46. I was shocked because I have never driven the car in a manner that would warrant premature brake failure. On my previous 1999 Honda Accord coupe, I did not have to replace the brakes until 65k miles. The dealer explained that Honda is aware of the problem and that Honda had issued a technical service bulletin for the rear brakes. I contacted Honda customer service by calling 1-800-999-1009 and was told that no technical service bulletin has been issued for rear brake problems. I was given a reference number and was advised that a Honda representative would be in contact with me within 2 business days. By chance, I found an article in u. S. News and reports dated April 8, 2010 "Honda settles lawsuit over Accord brakes. " the article states that the brakes of 750k late models of Accord and Acura tsx are wearing out twice as fast as they should. The article also states that the NHTSA has received 350 owner complaints to date. There is no mention that the root cause of the premature brake failure has been addressed. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate to determine if this is a brake distribution issue, design defect, poor quality, or any combination of the above. I am deeply concerned about the safety of this vehicle.

Typically, I would not have the brakes checked at 17,000 miles for no reason. The problem was brought to my attention on a routine oil change. To me, this is a safety hazard. Had I not hat that oil change, I would have kept on driving an unsafe car, with the risk of a complete brake failure. The dealership would not cover the cost ($270) because Honda is not acknowledging that there is a problem with 2008 and 2009 Accords. It is not safe to have this many cars on the road with brake issues. I elected to trade in the car, rather than dealing with having to replace the brakes every 17,000 and I did not want to drive an unsafe vehicle.
