Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2007 Honda Civic

The driver side visor fell on my lap and Honda replaced it because it was still on warranty. . But now the passenger visor is hanging down but Honda wont replace because its out of warranty. The front brakes does wear out around 12k miles after replacing it with the dealer for the 3rd time (Honda dont want to admit that they use poor quality pads so you'll keep coming back to them for replacement, they say its the way you drive but I did point out to them that if I drive like a maniac I would have also need to replace my tires which lasted me more than 50k miles) I decided go get an aftermarket ceramic pads and had it installed from pepboys. Its been more than 30k miles and brakes are still fine. The wiper blade on driver side does become sticky on the windshield which leaves unpleasant streak on my windshield. . Even after getting a new wiper it still have the same problem. . I solve this problem by replacing my driver wiper with a shorter one(original is 26" now I have 24").

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the wear indicators on the brake pads did not indicate to her that she needed to change her brakes, however. She is experiencing problems with the brakes . The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and she was informed that the brake indicators were not touched or worn to show that there is a failure with the brakes. The vehicle was also taken to the dealer and she was informed that there was nothing wrong with the brake indicators. The contact's main issue was the brake indicators were not operating properly. The failure mileage was 54,000.

I have had 2 rear end car accidents with my 2007 Honda Civic. In both instances the brakes have failed causing over $10,000. 00 in damage. I paid the first accident with my own funds to avoid my insurance from raising. The second one was paid by my insurance as the damage was more extensive. I have taken the vehicle to 3 different dealers to see what is wrong with the brakes as they continue to fail, but they cannot determine what the problem is unless they can recreate it. One dealership put on new break pads, a new abs motor/switch, and drained the brake fluid. I am sure the old parts were either destroyed or sent back to Honda, but I do not think they are available. The problem still occurs when it is very cold and driving through puddles of water. The last occurence I had to drive into a curb to slow the car down as the brakes failed to engage. I have since learned to pull the emergency brake. The insurance company has tried to get Honda to recognize the issue, but they were not successful. Honda continues to insist I am at fault even though there has been a recall for brakes. When I use the brakes during the cold weather with extreme moisture, they grind like a drill in cement or metal. The noise comes from the front right wheel. It is not the abs brakes making as the noise is more flutering that occurs across the whole front-end and the car stops when you slam on the brakes. The last dealer service technician took me on a test drive during snowy weather, but it did not occur. Again, he told me unless they can recreate it there is nothing they can do to fix it. I've noted the approximate incident date was in January, but 2nd accident occured in February of 2008. I guess I must get killed before any dealership or Honda takes me seriously as I do not know what to do any more. They seem to discount the seriousness because they cannot see any leakage when the examine the brakes so consequently it is my fault. Thank you for your attention. Help!!.

Front brake pads require replacement every 5k miles or so since the car was new. Honda replaced them the first time but has since told me that I brake too hard and that there is nothing wrong with their design. I am 50 years old and have been driving for years. . . Never had a problem like this.
