1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

On or about 6/10/19 while driving to work I noticed a noise coming from the rear of my car. The sound was like screeching nails on a chalkboard when the car is in motion at any speed without the brake pedal depressed. The sound would go away when I depressed the brake pedal. After I picked up my car on 6/15/19 from service, with only 18,119 miles, I was informed by my local Honda dealer that all the brake pads had seized and all brake caliper pins had frozen. The car has only been subject to normal driving. This is Honda case # 09629449.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2017

Brake caliper retaining clips appear to be incorrectly installed or poorly designed. This has a trail of problems compiling at a quick pace. The brake pads don't travel freely even with grease. The outside brake pads will wear out approximately 1-2 millimeters before the inside brake pads wear down to the squealer (warning noise to let you know brake pad replacement is needed). The other pads will grind the outer surface of the rotars. Brake pads will not retract bake to normal position and constant friction causes excessive heat which is carried out through the caliper pistons, wheel hub/bearings, wheels, significant motor and transmission damage being over worked. Gas mileage is constantly in high teens. Rarely have I ever hit over 25mpg regardless of city driving out highway driving. First sign of brake pad failure@1st 8,000 miles on vehicle. Brake fluid is already burnt or drk brwnish color at 40,000 miles. This car generates more than questionable heat from front wheels after 10mins of parking lot driving. This appears as if the vehicle is being driving hard as if I am abusing the 2. 4l 4cyl engine powering a cvt transmission.
