Sudden screeching of rear brakes and short after grinding noise when breaking. Took car to get brakes checked and had to replace brake pads due to calipers sticking and making interior pads wear out completely while exterior pads where still good. Rotors worn to or below minimum specifications. Will have to replace both rear rotors and calipers. I have never had to replace rotors or calipers on any car, not even with 86k miles on them and on this 2009 Honda Accord ex-l I have to replace them at 46,413 miles? this is not good! Honda should pay for all expenses and parts. Lowest quote to replace with oem is approximately $750. 00 what would the cost be if I would of not hear the noise and check the brakes?.
There was grinding noise for couples days on and off. Vehicle was dropped at local dealer and rear brake had to be replaced. Vehicle mileage was only at 22k miles. Considering that Accord is fwd, I was wondering why rear brake worn out much faster than typical life time of brake pads.
I purchased a 2009 Honda and had it service every 3000 miles. Upon my second servicing of the car I had the dealership to check my brakes cause they were squeaking; the representative stated that the brake rotors tend to rust and the reason why I was hearing the brakes upon compression. So, me being a woman and all I thought the representative being honest with me however, I drove the car for another week and I could hear this grinding noise while driving as if metal and metal was rubbing together. I thought maybe it would go away but it didn't it kept on and then it suddenly stopped. However, the brakes started scrubbing real bad so I took it for servicing same story. . . They cleaned off the rotors and nothing else. So it was getting close to my 25k check so I simply prayed and ignored the annoying sound until I was able to take it in. When I did the representative tells me that my rear brake pads need to be replaced I was like that doesn't make any sense - why would I need to replace the rear pads when I drive a front wheel drive automobile. I was extremely messed up about it and complained so they offered to pay half and I the other I told I wasn't going to pay anything. . Read more...
I have an Honda Accord ex purchased on oct 2008. Ever since 3000 miles I have been hearing a squealing noise when I deploy the brakes. In August 17, 2009 the squeal turned into a grinding noise and I had to replace both rear brake pads. My car has only 20,000 miles. I suspect the quality of the part is below par if not defective. Also I suspect that the right part is not being used on the new generation of Accords (2008, 2009) thereby causing excessive wear and tear. Please investigate this issue.
