Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problems of the 2009 Honda Accord

Vehicle has been consuming oil since purchased with 9,500 miles. Oil consumption has contributed to fouled spark plugs. Fouled spark plugs triggered "cylinder #3 misfire" code and extremely poor performance at highway speeds. Two different occasions the car experienced different cylinder misfire issues. Honda dealer performed engine computer software updates on two different occasions that did not remedy the oil consumption issue. No warning lights to indicate that the engine was 3 quarts low on oil. If the consumer is not aware that the vehicle is using oil, there is potential for the engine to seize causing costly repairs or to lose power in a dangerous situation. Dealer is now performing Honda oil consumption test. According to Honda, consuming 1 quart of oil in 1,000 miles is normal and acceptable. This burned oil is being released into the environment as evidenced by the black carbon on the tail pipes. It is hard to believe that a leading car manufacturer would deem oil consumption in a brand new vehicle as normal or acceptable. This is the first vehicle out of 12 that I have ever owned that consumed oil. Even vehicles with over 200,000 miles did not consume oil. I purchased a Honda so that I did not have to worry about reliability or break downs for many years. Now I have to worry with checking the oil every week as to not get low or run out. Same vehicle has also had premature rear brake pad wear and had to be replaced at 60,000 miles. Complaint has been filed with american Honda. Class action lawsuits have been filed against Honda over the premature rear brake pad wear and the oil consumption issues.

2009 Honda Accord 4 cylinder, 30k miles, first owner passing a large truck on highway 80, California, east bound, near green valley road exit, approaching fairfield on September 28 at 2:30pm. Accelerator got stuck and car continued to accelerate to dangers speeds in excess of 70mph. I had to press on the brake pedal as hard as I could to maintain control. Then I shifted the car into neutral. The engine revved very high. I made sure my foot was only on the brake pedal. With in about 10 seconds the car stopped revving, but now my brake rotor are warped. I made sure my floor mat was out of the way. I have contacted the dealer. They have never heard of this problem. I had this same problem happen with my Honda odyssey.

Premature worn rear brakes at 21,000 miles for Accord lxi 4 cylinder! mostly all highway miles to commute to work.

Rear brakes are having to replaced at 16,000-20,000 miles, called Honda dealer they said it is a problem in the 2008 and 2009 models ,the engineers put rear brakes that are too small on the car. Honda corporate office knows it is a problem and are logging complaints at this time. My concern is that I have a 6 cylinder and that it is a heavier car then the 4 cylinder version.

I own a 2009 Honda Accord with 30,000 miles. It is a 4 cylinder front wheel drive vehicle. The rear brakes on the vehicle have worn down and now need to be replaced. I've contacted Honda USA and they acknowledge their engineers have identified this is a common problem on 2008 and 2009 Accords. The company claims this is not covered under the warranty, and will not cover the cost of replacing the brakes. This is a safety issue that has been identified, and yet Accord owners have not been notified nor has a recall been issued.

Brand new Honda Accord sedan v6 cylinder automatic transmission. Less than two weeks old, rear brakes howl madly, vibration when braking on firm stops. Dealer turned the rotor-out of round . 12mm. Results better for now, but. . . . I wonder how long it will last. Honda has reputation of poor brake system apparently.

I have a 2009 Honda Accord exl w/navi 4 cylinder. It currently has 6000 miles and I bought it in September 2008. I have taken it to the dealer 3-4 times about the brakes squealing. It occurs every time I apply the brakes, no matter the speed or use. They first told me it was too new and they had to break in. Then that it was because they were cold due to the winter weather and I needed to drive 55-60 mpg and slam on the breaks to warm up. Then it was due to new brake pads not being made like they used to be when they used asbestos in pads. Then it was because all the rain had caused a build up and they needed to be cleaned. Everytime they told me it was normal and something I would have to deal with. It is not normal for a brand new car's brakes to squeal everytime they are applied. This seems to be a common complaint on this website and Honda needs to do something about it.
