Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2010 Honda Accord

Inboard passenger rear brake pad jammed and prematurely worn; driver side rear brake pads ok. Calipers ok. . Dealer had to replace both rear brake sets and resurface the rotors at my expense. Dealer blamed "corrosion"; I blame a Honda design defect in their braking system.

On 3/18/15 I took our 2010 Honda Accord with 28,037 miles to suburban Honda in farmington hills,mi for a oil change,the service manager notified me that the driver side rear pads have worn out to the point of wearing out the rotor beyond turning to repair,and I need a new caliper that as we know must be replaced in pairs. His price for repairs was $1027. 60 + tax =$1089. 26 I took the vehicle to my neighborhood auto repair facility and had all new pads,rotors and calipers replaced for $650. 04 this costly expense at this low mileage of a brand new vehicle is completely unacceptable,how many other trusting customers bought this vehicle and had the same or similar rear brake fail as well. At the least Honda should reimburse us for all of the repairs. At 28,049 miles both front tires had to be replaced do to premature ware.

- sudden scrapping noise from rear of vehicle while stopping for a traffic light. - slowly drove vehicle to local specialized brake auto repair facility. - rear right brake caliper failure which quickly wore down pads and rotors. - left rear was also beyond limts. - corrective action - replaced both left and right rear brake pads, shims, rotors, calipers and brake fluid. - front brakes fine. - understand that there were isuess with both 2008 and 2009 Honda rear brakes, subject 2010 vehicle was purchased new in October, 2009.

Car was bought 2 years old, breaks started to make a scratching noise in 2014 and got progressively worse. We brought it to the Honda dealer where we bought the car, they sucked us in and made us pay over $1,000 for new breaks, rotors, calipers etc. April 2016 the car was started one morning, immediately the noise I heard in 2014 I heard again but much worse. The noise happened when the car was idling. We brought the car to a local mechanic, this mechanic told me I needed new breaks, rotors, calipers etc. The same problem that I had in 2014. The dealer knew about these Honda's having a break issue, wondering why my dealer did not mention this.

I have had to change my rotors brakes and calipers 4 times since last August. I just changed the rotors and brakes for the 3rd about 3 months ago and they are grinding again. I went out for lunch and when I get back to work I hear a grinding. I get to work and look and its on the rotor. This is ridiculous, I do not know what else to do. Mind you in October on a road trip the caliper malfunctioned and I had to drive with the brake clamped down on the rotor. Cost me $850 to fix! this is ridiculous.

I had tires rotated at 36k miles and firestone advised me of irregular wear on my right rear brakes. The brake pad rubs constantly based on a caliper and rotor malfunction. I verified recalls pertaining to my Honda and found no relevant information; however, it appears there is a problematic issue with premature and irregular wear. Honda should be held accountable for faulty brake components leading to unwarranted safety vulnerabilities and excessive consumer expenses.

Rear brake pads wear down fast, they require a change at least twice before the front brake pads wear down. Pads show uneven wear, it maybe a caliper defect.

1. I believe the rear brake system on 2010 Accord has a design flaw that causes the inboard rear brake pads to wear unevenly and to wear faster than the outboard pads. 2. The rear brake pads have had to be replaced twice since I purchased this vehicle new, on October 7, 2009: the first replacement was on September 2, 2011 at 36,365 miles and the second replacement was on March 12, 2013 at 67,699 miles. 3. March 12, 2013 pad replacement. The inboard pads on both sides are worn down far more than the outboard pads. Also, the inboard pads are worn unevenly: one of the inboard pads has 2 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 3 mm left on the other end, the other inboard pad has 1 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 2 mm of pad left on the other end. The outboard pads are worn evenly and both have 5-6 mm of pad remaining. 4. This is just not right! both inboard and outboard should wear evenly and at the same rate and give more than 31,000 – 36,000 miles of useful service. 5. I believe there is a design flaw with the caliper and/or the caliper mechanism and the embedded parking brake mechanism. Perhaps the design of the parking brake mechanism sometimes allows it to not release properly? my fear is that this design flaw will cause the rear brakes to malfunction while driving. 6. Genuine Honda parts were installed with both rear brake pad replacements and the front brake pad replacement. This vehicle has a normal mix of highway and town driving and very little stop-n-go city driving. Neither my wife nor I “ride” the brakes. I believe “normal” wear, considering our driving habits, for the rear brakes is 50,000-60,000 miles.

In 2012 (25kmi - two year old vehicle) required brake pad replacement. 2015 (55k mi required replacement of rear brake pads, rotors. It was taken in for excessive heat and non-stop squeaking. Two months later, again, excessive heat (too hot to touch rim). Took back to repair shop and they had to replace calipers.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that two months after purchasing the vehicle, she had to replace the rear brakes, rotors and the front calipers. The dealer stated that they would give the contact a discount on the repairs. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were 28,422.

I purchased this car new in may 2011. Within almost two years I had to replace the original brake pads and rotors I was told by my local dealer that this is normal. I have never had to replace brakes with such low mileage. Now as of today, 06/18/2014 my car has been back in the shop twice with in the last two months for more brake problems. I replaced the right rear caliper in 4/2014 with about 720000 miles and now today I am replacing the left rear caliper. I have had a Honda Accord coupe that I have put well over 100000 miles on and have never had to replace calipers. I am very unhappy and I think an investigation should be put on this car year of 2010 brake system as there are several complaints on the net regarding this. I have spent almost $2000 on brakes this is ridiculous with having a such a "new" car also had a problem w tires had to replace at 48000 also stock michelin tires. Unheard of Honda needs to do better with their stock parts!.

2010 Honda Accord. Consumer states brake failure the consumer stated the vsa light illuminated due to a problem with the calipers and the brakes. Also, there was a strange noise coming from the vehicle. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.

I was sold a 2010 Honda Accord last year and I have already had to replace the calipers, rotors, and pads on my rear brake assembly. I was then told by Honda America that these are “wear� parts that they will not reimburse me for. I fully understand that brakes are wear parts but “not at 20,000 miles�. If it is ok for Honda to sell braking systems that need this kind of attention so early in life, they should have to warn customers at the time of purchase.
