general problems of the 2009 Honda Accord - part 1

I installed (2) identical advance auto parts platinum rear brake rotors on my vehicle. Both rotors were installed at the same time, in the same manner, and under normal conditions. After approximately (1) mile of normal driving on of the rear brake rotors catastrophically failed by completely separating at the hat (the center mounting section). The opposite side rear rotor, installed at the same time, did not fail. The failure occurred without warning and resulted in immediate loss of braking integrity at that wheel. This type of structural failure presents a significant safety risk, including the potential for sudden brake loss, wheel lockup, or loss of vehicle control. The vehicle was not being driven aggressively, and there were no abnormal conditions prior to the failure. The failed rotor has been preserved and is available for inspection. Photographs documenting the separation are also available. A brake rotor should not experience complete structural separation under normal driving conditions, especially immediately after installation. This appears to be a manufacturing or material defect that poses a serious safety hazard. I am submitting this complaint to document the defect and to help prevent potential injury or accidents involving similar components.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken for an alignment. While performing the alignment, the parking brake activated independently. After the service was completed, the contact disengaged the parking brake and noticed that the vehicle seemed a bit more difficult than normal to steer. The contact pulled over, stopped, and became aware that the rear rotors were overheated and turning red. The contact stated that the parking brake was still activated even though the instrument panel had indicated that the parking brake was disengaged. The contact turned off the vehicle until the vehicle had cooled off and then returned home with the vehicle. Once the contact was home and the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the parking brake was still engaged even after disengaging the parking brake. The contact stated that the brakes were still overheated. The contact also noticed that the brake pads had started to fracture from the overheating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

Have had the car for several years and have taken it in for inspections of the braking system which came back with no issues. Reported to owner/ceo of company as well. Brakes do not work when used in an emergency. The pedal will go to the floor but the car will not stop even after punching the brakes several times. Worse when on a decline of a hill. I have had the brakes redone and the problem still persisted and ended up in an accident due to the faultiness of the braking system. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was but there have been a lot of close calls.

Couldn't get traction on light snow-covered road. Vsa light was flashing and my car wasn't responding to brake to vsa. I applied my brakes to slow down (to no avail). Now my car is out of control and proceeding down a slight incline to a stop sign. . . Picking up speed along the way. My brakes are "to the floor" the whole time as I slide through intersection I have my steering wheel turned right. The front passenger side ended up crashing into a street sign & telephone pole. I was told by police that a car that swerved to avoid me made contact with my rear fender and my car then spun right into the poles. Also, neither front air bags deployed upon impact.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. While driving 65 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact had to place the gear into neutral and depress the brake pedal in order for the brakes to operate. In addition, while the vehicle was in park, the engine continue to accelerate. The contact had to turn the engine off twice in order to resume driving. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,631.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated above 100 mph for two miles or longer. The contact applied both feet on the brake pedal. The vehicle shook aggressively and continued to increase in speed. The contact was alone on the road and noticed that the brake pedal went to the floor but did not slow down the vehicle. The contact was able to change gears to neutral. The vehicle made a loud abnormal noise and was able to gradually decelerate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.

Vehicle in motion turning right into parking space. Brakes applied, vehicle accelerated into brick post causing significant damage to front end of vehicle and post. Second incident vehicle in motion turning right into parking space. Brakes applied, vehicle accelerated into grassy strip. Vehicle difficult to bring to stop.

The brakes squeal. As the brakes heat up the noise gets unbearable.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while making a slight right turn, the steering wheel seized. In addition, the contact stated that the brakes seized and the vehicle violently jerked forward. As a result, the contact drove over a curb and crashed into a stop sign and a gravel road. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

The car would not break, the emergency break did not work, car would not park. Car kept rolling.

The srs indicator stays on permanent and the brakes have to change again after only 6 months. Called Honda headquarters and was told that there was a recall for srs in 2011 but my VIN number was not on the recall list and the my vechicle is out of warranty. I bought my car as a used car at herb chambers in 2010 and the According to them the car was already out of warranty. I need them to call the dealership and have me take the car in for diagnostic and have the issue fixed without me absorbing the cost.

I replace a rear brake pad on July 10,2010 just a year after purchasing a brand new car. It was 18,257 miles. As of October 29 ,2013 I facing a gain a same problem. My mileage now it 60,000. Is Honda still responsible for this problem? thanks,.

Replaced rear brakes twice in 15months with less than 15000 miles on car.

My rear brakes need replacing at 31500 miles for a 2009 Honda Accord my 97 Honda Accord didn't have the front brakes go out until 80000 miles, rear brakes at 150000. My mechanic states my brakes have gone longer than most.

When making a hard braking stop from as slow as 35 mph an hour the front of the car dips so badly front of the touches the ground making the occupants lurch forward.

Since I purchsed the car about 2 years ago I had to replace the breaks 3 tims and the rotors twice. Recently I had to bring my car back to the shop and now the auto shop is telling me I once again have to replace the breaks, rotos and calibers. This one fix is costing me $650. I think this is crazy that I had to replace this over 3 times. Their is something that has to be done. This is really annoying and making me not want to buy a Honda ever again. I think something should be done about this problem. Their have been thousands on complaints about this one incident and it costing hardworking people like myself alot of money out of our own pockets.

2009 Honda Accord ex v6 has numerous problems at 130k. . . Most originating at 70-90k. Excessive oil consumption (1 qt a week)! rough idle and acceleration, 6 lights lit up on dash, including check engine. . . Comes on and off intermittently. . . . . Fouled spark plugs, ticking noise coming from steering wheel when turning, brakes must be replaced every 10k miles, loud ticking noise from engine, poor acceleration with missing/sputtering, smoke emits from tailpipes, vsc light stays on along with tpms! the list goes on and on. . . I have been loyal to Honda since 1993 having owned many, especially Accords and this one takes the cake. . . . The worst vehicle ever owned! do not buy Honda. . . They do not care about you and never will! I missed the class action lawsuit by a couple of months on the engine misfire deal. . . Just recently was made aware of it. Never again Honda!!!!.

Rear brakes are completely gone and I only have 25,000 miles in my 2009 Honda Accord.

Started hearing rear brake squeaking. Mentioned to dealer when getting an oil change and was told I needed the rear brakes replaced at 20,493 miles. I was given an excuse that this could be due to my driving habits. The front brakes should go first, so I did some research and found that a class-action lawsuit has been approved to cover $150 of the repair which I do not feel is adequate. It appears to be an engineer design error on the 2008, 2009 and some 2010 Honda Accords. I believe there should be a recall and they should fix the problem due to their own error. We pay big bucks to these car companies and they need to be held accountable when they cut corners or their engineers screw up.

Noticed that rear brakes started making a high pitch squealing noise. Took it in and had the rotors cleaned and they said brakes were fine and it was a defect on Honda cars that the brakes tend to squeal. The cleaning did not help as it still makes a high pitch squealing noise.

I brought my 2009 Honda Accord in for a regular oil change and was told that my rear brakes need to be replaced. I only have 30,000 miles which a lot of these miles are highway miles. Never with any lease I have had in the past 18 years, did I ever have to replace brakes. The cars were returned within the 36,000 mile allowance. They were not Honda leases, however, this was my first Honda. Prior leases were Cadillac and Nissan vehicles.

My mileage is 34,505 I took my car to Honda north , danvers they said to go to ins CO geico to have repaired. No one wants to take responsibility please help me![xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Brake premature wear causing brakes not to work properly,talk to dealer and they say I have brakes fixed and submit to Honda and they might reimburse me for the repair is this Honda's and the dealers way to make more money. That's why I think we should look at american made cars when we buy from now on . Nothing like the good old u. S. Of a. Go Ford.

Rear brake wear signal indicator stated to squeal and make scraping sounds. Inspection reveals excessive wear on right rear brake. Dealer told me on 09/13/2011, brakes are warranted for 1 year or 12,000 miles only and no warranty service would be made available. Dealer informed me on 09/13/2011 that a form will be provided, as a result of law suit. That would reimburse me $150. 00. How can a lawsuit be successful without a safety recall?.

2009 Honda Accord. Consumer writes to express discontent related to brake repairs and unwanted ac service at local dealer the consumer stated there was a strange smell coming from the ac. The dealer stated they added a deodorizer in the ac. The consumer was informed the smell would disappear in a few days, but it had not. It only seemed to get worse.
