The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the front brake pads and rotors were worn prematurely. The rotors were too small for the pads and there was a constant noise coming from the brakes. The brake pads and rotors were replaced at least three times. The manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I am uncertain this is the proper forum for my complaint but it has to do with the braking system on my 2006 Honda Civic. I go through front brake pads in less than 15k miles and my rear brakes have hardly been touched. Soon, at just over 40k I will be replacing pads a 3rd time and rotors too. On my prior car, a 1991 Honda accord that I put 325k miles on, I replaced pads about every 40k miles. This is a bigger heavier car yet the brakes lasted longer and as I grow older I think my driving has become more patient and less aggressive so I would expect my brakes to last the same or longer on a smaller lighter car. I think my current Civic braking system is over zealous and burning through brake pads too fast. . Read more...
I have a 2006 Honda Civic. The brake pads were replaced in August 2008 and the Honda service dept said they showed unusual wear and do I use the brakes on hilly terrain? which I don't!. The brakes never feel fully disengaged. I just read a comment on a website that said the same thing for another car. Also the sun visors spontaneously crack. I had the driver side replaced and the passenger one is needing replacement. Honda seems to be ignoring people's problems with these brake issues and visors. Please help nudge Honda to recall the brake systems on these cars! thank you so much.
Front brakes replaced due to uneven wear. Inner pads were 95% worn & outer pads were 50% worn. They refused to pro-rate the repair due to it being a wear item even though this is a known design defect. Old parts are available for inspection.
Premature disc brake pad wear on 2006 Honda Civic at 12,525 miles. Dealer says worn to metal. Claims normal wear is 10,000-18,000 miles. This is unheard of! suspect sub-standard pads installed during manufacturing and an increasing lack of overall quality controls at Honda.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact had to replace the brake pads on three separate occasions at approximately 7,000 miles due to uneven wear. The contact has not experienced brake failure to date. The current mileage was 20,800.
I purchased a new 2006 Honda Civic lx on 3/18/06. On 8/31/06 after 15,658 highway miles, the driver's side inner front brake pad wore out and ruined the rotor. I replaced the rotor, pad, and caliper with original Honda parts. My daughter has complained that this car's braking is "unstable". Now at 34,000 miles the front inner pads are worn to metal again. The outer pads and rear shoes are still very serviceable. I called the dealer and Honda and they both fail to admit a problem or offer a solution. I think this car's brakes have a design flaw that causes the front inner pads to wear out prematurely. And I think this flaw also causes unstable braking. I have the car and the old parts for inspection.
