2009 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to malfunctioning caliper piston.
Last week I heard a rubbing/scraping noise coming from the right rear of my 2009 Honda Accord. Today I took it to the dealers and had to have the right rear caliper replaced, new brake pads and new rotors. This vehicle is well taken care of and is garage kept. I do not understand why I needed new brakes and rotors as my car has approximately 22,000 miles on it. I am extremely upset by this.
From the beginning upon taking delivery of the vehicle, the rear brake calipers were not releasing properly. We noticed a burning smell once after driving, but no warning lights were on. We also noticed the emergency brake was not always releasing, as per the warning light. At a routine oil service it was determined that right rear caliper was not full disengaging. The entire rear brake assembly had to be cleaned and adjusted, the rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced. Both rear calipers had to be replaced. In the past, our vehicles have gone 90,000 miles before replacing only the pads, and then only the front. To replace an entire rear bake assembly indicates some sort of defect or engineering problem.
Honda has a rear brake problem with this car. Replacing the pads does not correct this problem. In my case the rear calipers stuck. The wheel was too hot to touch. . . The wheel. . . This after only 8 miles to home from work. Honda went to a ceramic rear pad which only added heat to a rear brake system that does not fit that car. . . . The next problem will be rear hub assemblies failing because of over heating. . . I believe had I driven 20 plus miles this problem would have started a fire. . Just below the gas filler cap . . . Not good. . . Honda has a problem and needs to step up on this one.
Honda has a real problem here. . . They tried to fix it with ceramic brake pads. . What that did is make more heat for a undersized brake system. In my case this heat caused the rear calipers to to stick. In as little as 10 miles I could not touch the wheel. . If I had driven another 15+ miles I believe fire would have started. . Right below the gas fill cap. . . Not good. . . So not only are my rear calipers cooked, rotors warped,brake pads shot, brake fluid boiled. . . The rear hub and bearing assembly has had grease cooked out of it and makes noise. . . This problem goes way past brake pads. . .
Premature failure of rear brake pads and rotors @40k miles. Just outside limits of Honda brake settlement. Rear brakes failed again at 100k with pads, rotors, and 1 caliper needing replacement.
I bought my car in 2012. From 2013-present, I've had to replace my brakes and rotors at least 10 times and now I'm being told my calipers need to be replaced. There is no way that I should have to replace my brakes that many times. In the last year alone, I've had to replace my brakes and rotors 3 times. I currently have to replace my rear brake pads and rotors when I last did it 3 or 4 months ago. I don't have the money to keep fixing this problem, Honda should be responsible! also in July 2015, my ac/heater stopped working, we thought it was the fuse, so we replaced it but its still not working. I am very frustrated and upset with the problems with my car, I will never buy another Honda! I have never had this problem with any car that I've owned.
Rear tires overheated to the point that it would burn a hand that touched it on 6-11-2012 (mileage 46,384). Smelled of burning rubber. Had to replace the left rear brake caliper, brake pad, and rotor. On 4-18-2013 (mileage 65,922) the same problem on right rear. This required replacement of the right rear brake pad and rotor. On 6-13-2014 (mileage 93,310) the same overheating occurred and required replacement of the rear brake pads. The latest occurrence was on 3-16-2015 (mileage 112,411). We have an appointment to have this examined in two days so do not yet know the diagnosis. I am very concerned that this failure could occur while we are driving and could result in a fire, blown tire, or crash.
On the 2009 Honda Accord at 28,691 the rear brake pads started to smell like a burning smell then it started to make a noise from the back of the car. I sat in the back seat on the way to the vets office when all this occured. I do not drive this car as its my wifes car,she said that she could not hear the noise from the front seat but could smell a wierd ordor. She sometimes carry our frist grandchild in the car and with this happening thank god nothing happened. Please do something before the brakes catch fire or go out completely. The calipers I've heard are defective,they freeze up not allowing the inside brake pad release,I can understand this happening. Honda knows the problem but to call a full out recall they want to hide this critical safety defect.
Very loud grinding metal on metal when light or hard braking. Its seized caliper According to the mechanic to fix this not covered under warranty. Said the back should last at least 40 -70k lasted only 19k of very easy miles.
My 09 Accord began making horrible metal on metal screeching sound out of the blue at 24,900 miles. Took it in for checkup and was told my rear rotors needed to be replaced due to manufacturer error caused by caliper slides being frozen and too much brake pressure applied to rear brakes. Was told by technician that he has seen many Accords with the same problem of manufacturer error. I am very disappointed as I was not and have not been made aware of this problem by Honda.

On sept 22, 2008, we purchased a new 2009 Honda Accord v6 and started experiencing brake problems within the first week of ownership. The car has been serviced by Honda 12-15 times. Honda has replaced the brake pads, machined the rotors, replaced calipers, installed new abs modulator and we are still experiencing brake problems. After having all these repairs, the car still has brake issues. We feel as if Honda isn't taking this seriously. Not only is the car still experiencing brake problems, the passenger safety restraint & air bags indicators come on in the car when a passenger is in the car. These brake problems and indicator lights do not happen every time the car driven and that is why we believe Honda won't correct the problem. Honda is aware that there is an issue with the brake pads, however our car's brake pedal will go to the floor, making it extremely hard to stop the vehicle on occasion. We have had very close encounters to crashing due to this problem. We would like to know if you are aware of these problems with Honda?.
