Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2010 Honda Accord - part 1

Significant rear brake pad wear after only 20,000 miles. Front brake pads still haven't worn 1/4 percent. Rear passenger break wear indicator alarming already. Rear driver side very low too.

I bought used Honda Accord in 2015. After that, I spent 2 times to replace the brake pads in around 30,000 miles and 1 time I spent for rotor. I emailed Honda about it and I also understand it's about almost 8 years but whenever there was a recall for the brake pads they suppose to change the whole braking system. Now I have a question of keeping or selling the car & if I have to sell the car ( if I am selling it nobody will buy it or I have to tell that person there is nothing wrong with the car. ) another question is Honda is making a mistake I also read about a lawsuit regarding that and there was a settlement but now all the users have to pay around $80 -$100 for every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. I also sent email to Honda that if you want to make sure about the brakes I am ready to out the car. Or just accept that Honda had made cheap technology in the past, so in future, I would rather go for Toyota. The incident didn't happen suddenly and my mechanic also informed me last year this is the problem with Honda and I didn't believe him and now I am about to spend money for the third time and I finally decided to search the reason for that.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated when making a left turn a screeching noise will start. No warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the rear brake pads needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact also stated that the failure occurs every time a left turn is intended. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000. Bp.

In late may 2014 I had the breaks (pads/rotors) replaced on my 2010 Honda Accord, 2 months later in August, I had break problems again, - roators were warped again, managed to get them covered under warrantee, - 2 months later 10/31 more break issues so took them to the dealer (so no after market parts), rotors warped, reccomended replacemnt of rotors and pads, - done, 2 months later in December 2014 back to the dealer (now I've pad for them 2x in 6 months)- replaced the front rotors becuase they were warped, now, 2 months later in febuary - back to the dealer again for the 3rd time (1s 2 were not a dealer). This time they were warped, but not as bad - so they machined the rotors becuase this time I went early, when I first stated noticing it. No one figures out why. . . So, in total, my breaks have have been worked on 5 times in 8 months. The dealer said they had a Honda corprate rep take the car for a ride, they were advised there was not a break probelm. But that ride was not till after they machined the rotors, of course there would be no problem - this totally has no logic to even have that done! how many times do I have to have them replaced - under warrentee or not, and how much time and money do I have to waste, and before someone tries to figure out why the caris going thru breaks- mabye getting in an accident? in addition to these ongoing break issue, I've already had to have the 3 pistons rebuilt (under a recall , but I had to fight with the misfire problem for 4 months before they would do anything) and the stearing rack replaced (thank god I had 100 miles left on my extended warrantee).

Rear brake pads and rotors worn out. Front brake pads had approximately 70 percent wear remaining. Contacted Honda customer care and this car was not included, per VIN number, recall for Hondas with pre-mature brake pad wear on the rear.

Took car for routine service and was told rear brake pads and rotors were worn and needed to be replaced, after only 38,856 miles. My VIN number is not listed as eligible in 2010 Honda brake recall settlement. I think Honda should be responsible for these repairs.

Rear brake pads and rotors worn to end of useful life after only 38697 miles.

I purchased my 2010 Honda Accord new 2/2010. I've completed all the necessary maintenance requirements & get my oil changed every 3 months despite what Honda recommends. After hearing a mild grinding sound in the passenger rear tire, I thought it was some dirt/pebble. To my surprise, my mechanic told me my rear brakes were worn down & needed to be replaced at 35,000 mi. My mechanic said he had similar experiences w/ other Honda customers. I replaced the rear brake pads w/ aftermarket brake pads because my mechanic believed they were superior to the Honda brake pads. The front brakes have 80% life. I'¿¿ve never had to replace my brakes on my previous cars w/ mileage under 55,000. I started my research on the internet afterwards & found the 2010 Honda class-action law suit regarding the rear brakes on specific yrs of the Honda Accord. Honda was not required to issue a recall on the rear brakes. Honda Accord brake pads should last up to 70,000 miles. Unfortunately the repair deadline & eligibility included brake pads replaced with Honda brake pads & installation of those brake pads within 3 yrs of when the car was first sold. I'¿¿ve owned my Accord for 4 yrs & I replaced the brake pads w/ aftermarket pads. Since I have little recourse other than to write Honda or go to the local service dept, I opted to share my experience w/ other consumers, rather then remain silent & frustrated. I doubt I'¿¿ll make any progress w/ contacting Honda. I truly enjoy my Honda Accord & its performance. I am extremely disappointed w/ Honda & their lack of commitment to customer satisfaction & resolving an inferior part issue that is clearly their responsibility as noted w/ all the online customer documentation. Honda has forced their customers to pay for their mistake, refusing to take ownership of a costly, extremely, premature automotive repair.

Replaced rear brake pads at 22000 miles, now at 27000 miles have to replace all 4 rotors and pads.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an oil change and the dealer stated that the rear brake pads needed to be replaced. The contact stated that they did not have any problem with the brakes, but the brakes had worn prematurely. The VIN was not available the failure and current mileages were 18,000. Kmj.

While puting rear wheels on lack,and then rotating tires by hand,makes sound of two metals touching with each others,this experiment made by me when I noticed that my rear brake pads are worn out rapidly,then I replaced brake pads in fire stone, but problem remained the same,I visited fire stine again,they said that is manufacturing defect, then I found out from various on line sourses that certain Honda Accords made during 2007 to 2010 have same defect from factory,looks like brake assembly line from supplier is defective during certain period . In short rear brake pads always remains touching with brake plates without pressing brake pad,not too much but little bit.

2010 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle rear brake pads. During a state inspection, the consumer was informed the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The consumer stated the vehicle has 30,000 miles of highway driving and the pads should not have worn out so quickly.

The rear brake pads were completely worn down @22,004 miles while front pads are great (8mms). I’m a old, good driver and never replace the back brake pads first. This sounds like a safety defect. I know something is wrong! Honda needs fix the back brakes!.

Vehicle driven about 18,000 miles and rear break pads wore out much faster than usual. Honda service says they are 2mm where fronts are 8mm. Faulty rear pads wearing out faster on the inside (pistons sticking) this inspection done in Honda orlando and Honda America insists that break pads are fine despite the rear, where there is least weight wears out faster than front, where the most weight is ! I am not the only one complaining about it. Make sure yo get your breaks inspected before you buy any Honda's cause they are not helpful at all. If this is happening to you, you are on your own. I made multiple calls to different service centers and Honda America. They just simply don't care. They got great customer service until you buy a vehicle form them. Once you have a problem (even on a Honda certified vehicle) you are on your own. Make sure you do not buy Honda breaks if you replace them with your budget cause you will keep replacing them soon again. Clearly there is a problem and Honda America has been ignoring it. I tried to explain on the phone again after talking to Honda service. I passed the information to Honda America. They are like; your vehicle is certified but we are not going to replace your break pads. Never heard of a rear break pads go our before the front.

The rear brakepads on Honda Accord 2010 wear off at 45,000 miles. I've had Honda civic before and no such issue. The Accord has poorly made brakepads and According to Honda dealers -- the pads should last at least 70,000 miles. Very unhappy with Honda -- they settled a brakepad lawsuit for 2008 and 2009 model but did not fix the 2010 model.

Since changing the brakes at 55000 miles. . . I have had nothing but problems. Rotars were fine but I have had to take it in 3 times for wobbling in the front . . . They have machined the rotoras changed break pads. . . Done everything and it continues to wobble. . . . Checked tie rods? everything imaginable and still having issures. . . . They claim the breaks are getting hot. . . . Well that is a bunch of bull as I have lived in az with Hondas for my whole life. . . This is my 4th brand new one. . . . . Never problems like this.

The right rear brake makes a noise as if the brake pads are worn out and it sounds like metal surfaces scratching each other. Notified Honda and they said the brake pads are not covered. I have an appointment with Honda to take it for repair. Both bake pads until 70000 miles(generally this is the life for brake pads) and the related wear caused by worn out brake pads should be coved by Honda.

I have had a very troubling and disappointing experience with the Honda Accord my wife and I purchased from rick roush Honda (medina ohio) in July of 2010. I have attempted to work out a solution through the dealer but was told by the assistant service manger that the Honda zone manager has refused to offer any compensation. We were expecting a normal $25. 00 - $30. 00 oil change. Imagine our surprise when the total cost for the services came to $515. 32. A) maintenance minder code ?b? service $82. 27. I have no issue with this service as it makes good common sense. B) replaced engine and cabin (hepaa) air filters per maintenance minder code ?2? code. $66. 55. Again no issue. C) replaced rear brake pads and rotors $323. 02. This is where I have an issue. According to the inspection checklist; rear pads frozen in pinches? caused the rotors to overheat. There is no reason why this should have occurred to a vehicle with 30,000 miles. Rear brakes should last 60,000? 70,000 miles. It is quite obvious this premature brake wear is a braking system defective the same as or similar to the issue in the class-action lawsuit settled in late 2010. Have or will other 2010 Honda Accord owners experience the same problem? has Honda orchestrated a cover up to avoid the bad press and a costly recall at the expense of the safety of its customers? I expect a reimbursement from Honda for the $323. 02 charge including the sales tax. That will be a total of $344. 02 ($323. 02 + tax of $21. 00.

This complaint is in regard to the rear brake system on my 2010 Honda Accord. Through my own research, Honda has not issued a recall due to premature wear of the rear brakes in my model year Accord, however I learned that they recently settled a class action lawsuit in response to owner complaints about this problem. My vehicle had 22,000 miles on it as of April 24, 2012, the date of my last service. I was informed by a dealership technician that my rear brakes needed to be replaced and that they had only 2 mm of brake pad left on them. I was told that my front pads had 7 mm of brake pad remaining on them. I asked the technician if there was a reason for why rear brake pads would wear out so quickly on a vehicle to which I was given the answer that most automobiles nowadays have the rear brake system providing more of the stopping power than in previous years. I need not go into my own knowledge, nor my personal opinion in this matter. However, the reason I am lodging this complaint does have to do with my knowledge of how braking systems work in automobiles. Hence, I thought it prudent to apprise your institution to this issue so as to point out what may be a material defect in my automobile, as well as many others as I would presume. For the record, I bought my car brand new, have had it regularly serviced According to the manufacturer's guidelines, and the car has not been subjected to any out of the ordinary driving conditions.

I went to the Honda dealership for service on my 2010 Honda Accord sedan, the dealer said my rear brakes need to be replaced. My front brakes were fine and had twice as much pad life left on them compared to the rear pads. The cost would be $249- to replace the rear pads. I have never owned a car where the rear brakes need replacing before the front brakes. This is very concerning to me and needs to be addressed.

Premature wear on rear brakes. Brake pad wear indicator made scraping sound from right rear wheel. Inspected brakes and found right rear inner brake pad worn down. Left rear brakes also worn but not yet to wear indicator. Only 26,995 miles on car at time of incident. Examined front pads and found them to be in near like new condition at 9/32 inches thickness.

Brake pads at 23,700 miles completely worn and needed to be replaced along with rotors.

I went to a local sears automotive service center after I'd heard squeaking coming from the rear of my vehicle. A CO-worker told me it sounded like a problem with my brakes and that I should have them checked. The mechanic showed me the brake pads that came from the rear brakes of my car--there was no padding left! another mechanic advised me that he'd seen a lot of Hondas come in in a similar condition--front brake pads showing some wear and rear brake pads with almost no padding remaining. He advised me to call Honda and ask about recalls. . Read more...

Rear brake pads worn right into the rotors. Stopping distance longer than usual. Vehicle struck curb before I was able to stop it.

The rear brakes on my Honda Accord have worn out prematurely. After just over a year of owning my car I already need to replace the rear brake pads. . Read more...

Rear pads worn at such low mileage. Class action suit was filed but my car not included. It should have been because there are a lot of owners who had the same problem. Perhaps the government should look into this. I think the problem is more than Honda will admit to.

At 25844 miles, rear brake pads were replaced. At 69098 rear brake pads and rotors were replaced. This frequency of wear and replacement is unacceptable. We've been driving Hondas for over 30 years and never had this problem.

The rear brake pads were worn down and had to be replaced after only 13,900 miles.

My 2010 Honda Accord experienced premature rear brake wear and I paid to have the brakes replaced at only 22,837 miles. There was a class action lawsuit and settlement for the 2008 and 2009 model years (and only a handful of vins for the 2010 model year which does not include mine). I thought that Honda had fixed the problem and that improved pads were being installed but apparently not since the 2010 model year still seeems to be experiencing this problem.

Rear brake pads wore out on new 2010 Accord at 25,000 miles. I was told that the cost to repair them would be reimbursed, however, when I submitted my claim, I was told my VIN number did not match up and they were not going to reimburse me. 2008-2009 and some 2010 Accords are included in Honda settlement for faulty rear brake pads. . . . I think they should have included all 2010 Accords as the problem has not been resolved. Rear brake pads should not go out at 25,000 miles. Pathetic Honda. We will think twice before buying another Honda.

A couple of weeks ago the brakes started squealing. This has happened several times in the past two weeks. Serveral times the brakes were slow to respond and squealed loudly. I have a 2010 Honda Accord v-6. In June I had to have my rotors turned because the car would shimmy when I used the brakes. Honda service said that the warranty didnot cover this. I bought the car new and only have ~25k miles on it. The mileage is 90% highway and interstate miles and there should be no reason tha the brake pads should be replaced other than poor material. I have read about the class action lawsuit, but not sure what to do next. .

2010 Honda Accord -- repair facility noted excessive wear to rear brake pads at 24,000 miles. 10% life remaining. Front brake at more than 50% remaining life. Independent repair facility stressed extreme concern with wear. Vehicle brought to Honda facility. Honda technician indicated that the wear was "normal" for this model vehicle. Attributed wear to "extreme driving conditions" even though I do not reside on a mountain or do excessive hard braking. Honda unwilling to address brake wear under warrantly. I believe there to be a severe defect.

I have a 2010 4 door Honda Accord v6 ex. With only 28,000 miles on it and now my rear brakes squeak indicating worn bake pads. The rear brake pads should last around 70,000 miles. Unfortunately my car is not one of the few 2010 VIN #s covered by the Honda premature rear brake pads wear settlement even though I have the same exact problem. I hope there will be enough complaints about this problem to expand/extent to other 2010 Honda Accord affected by this problem but not covered by the settlement. Thanks.

Premature rear brake replacement for 2010 Honda Accord. Rear pads need to be replaced at 33,000 miles. Vechile is not on original class suit settlement.

2010 Honda Accord with the new upgraded rear inner brakes still is prematurely wearing out at around 20k miles. All other brake pads including the rear outer ones are 90% there however the rear inner pads are completely worn out. This seems to be a larger issue than just bad break pads since all other pads are fine. I have very concerned this will cause insufficient breaking and damage to the vehicle itself.
