Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2010 Honda Civic

Every 9,000 to 10,000 miles rear brake pads worn out prematurely causing rotors to lock up without warning. I believe this issue occurred on almost all 2010 Honda Civic. In normal driving condition brake pads should last at least 30,000 miles in compare to other major car manufactures. Please investigate this with Honda and find a remedy for the fix.

Today, 9/24/2014, I had to replace my front brakes for the second time and the car has only 46,147 miles on it. My wife and I drive the car very carefully and we don't live in a mountain area. First time we changed the brakes was at 10,000 miles. I chose Honda Civic because of previous Hondas I had, and none of the previous Honda had brakes issues like our 2010 Civic. I had a 2008 Civic which I leased at that time, and I exited the lease at 36,000 miles without having to change the brakes once! I feel that my 2010 Civic has a defective brakes and the service department where I had my car serviced at said they heard similar complaints. Honda needs to put the safety of their clients ahead and admit of their faulty brake pads and issue a recall on the 2010 Honda Civic. Thank you!.

As a precaution, had brakes inspected 6 months ago when car had approximately 50,000 miles on odometer. Expecting some pad wear at this mileage but there was no indication of a problem. My very trusted mechanic saw no problems with the pads and sent me on my way. On next oil change 6 months later, same mechanic says that my pads have completely worn out and caused damage to the rotors - a $650 repair on both front and rear brakes. The most troubling thing about all of this is that there was absolutely no "cricketing" of the brake pads at any time! and no other typical break wear function issues. Nothing to indicate a problem with my brakes and no way for me to know, aside from a sudden catastrophic brake failure in the future. This problem is all over the internet and why the NHTSA is allowing Honda to ignore this issue is completely beyond comprehension.

It started as a scraping noise located on the right side of the wheel, on the fourth day the noise was overwhelmingly loud, scraping sound even though my speed was under the limit. I took my car to ntb for repair and was shocked! replaced disc brake pads,brake shoes,two rotors even though the one looked smooth they both hsd to be replaced.

The brakes have completely worn out at less than 40,000 miles. I noticed a problem, and brought it in to be checked and they told me that not only that I need new pads but I need new rotors as well. There is no reason that these components wore out this fast, especially the rotors.

Car brakes makes squealing noise when brakes applied. Car is out of warranty so I removed both front wheels and discover both front brake pads are worn to the metal now brake pads and rotors require replacement,I have been driving for over 40 years and owned numerous different cars over the years,this is the first car that I have seen that wear out brakes this fast,most of the cars I have owned lasted a minimum of 45,000 miles some lasted to about 90,000 miles,by the way I am a professional mechanic and I do not abuse my vehicles in fact I have been told that that I drive like a old lady. I feel that this should be a factory safety recall,some people with no mechanical knowledge might continue to operate this car and get themselves into a horrible situation sooner or later.

I bought this car used from a dealership. About 2 weeks later, I noticed what sounded like two metal discs rubbing against each other. I took the car back to the dealership and told them what I was hearing. They looked into it and found out that the rotors needed to be machined and the brake pads replaced. I was pretty shocked that at 22,000 miles, this would need to be done. Luckily since I had bought the car less than a month ago, the dealership paid the cost of the job which was around $200. This has me concerned for future use of my car, especially when it comes to highway driving.

At 15000 miles my cars front brake pads and rotars are worn out, I had brought my car to Honda for my 15000 mile service, where they are supposed to inspect brakes, yet no mention of brake issues were brought up. Two weeks later my brakes were bad. I have been reading that many people have the same defect in there Honda Civics. I am hopeful that Honda does a recall, to protect there name, because I was originally very happy to have a Honda, now I am truly disappointed.

Bought car with 63835 miles and at 65000 miles car needed brake pads and the rotor replace cause of bad wear , they were replace and now at 73000 miles I need brake pads again , brakes on these car is the worst ever.

Needed new break pads at 18,645 miles during three year lease. Warranty does not cover break pads like other car makers. Break pads should not wear out so quick. I do not have 245 dollars for every 18 thousand miles or less to change the breaks every 2 years. I have owned a chevy and Ford,bought brand new and needed new break pads at 40k miles plus.

On our new Honda Civic, our front brakes went out at 15,900 miles. Of course, the service reps tried to blame the "hard driving" which was their assumption. They did replace them, but now at 29,000 miles, the front brakes are out again. Clearly, Honda is using either poor quality pads or the braking system is defective. We are taking it in again, but don't have a lot of confidence that they'll do the right thing and fix this.

My 2010 Honda Civic dx with just over 36,000 miles on it has been going through brake pads every 10-15,000 miles. This is entirely too frequent, and the braking system is grinding and having issues now as well. This should not be happening on a vehicle that is this new, and the brakes should be lasting much longer. Even a heavy breaker does not go through brake pads this frequently. There should be a recall by Honda to see that the components that make up the braking system satisfactorily reflect the quality of craftsmanship and build that Honda represents to its customers. The dot should pressure Honda to take ownership and legal responsibility of these issues in light of their prevalence and the many complaints that have been filed by consumers already.

Need front rotors and pads - totally destroyed with all highway driving and less mileage than any other car ever owned. $466. 57 with no warranty. Ludicrous that this would occur at this mileage. Could have been a major accident with no warning.

Honda Civic lx 2010. Few days ago I took my car to the dealer, and they told me the brake pads need to be replaced. That's very strange considering my car has only 20,100 miles. In addition, I am a person who take extremely good care of my car (oil change, tires, fluids, everything) and moreover if the vehicle is leased. Unfortunately brakes were not covered under warranty, I have to paid for them. I have all the receipts from braman Honda to prove what I'm saying. That's such a disappointment! every 3 months I have to take this car to the dealer with some new problems and pay between $150-350!! this is an obvious factory defect we (the consumers) shouldn't being paying for! do something!!.

There was a lot of noise from the front end. I took to the dealer (mary sussman Honda, abington, PA) and they told me I needed a front end brake job (pads, rotor polishing etc). Two days ago (9/27/12) I had to take to have my rear bearing replaced and they told me I needed front brakes again. Now mileage is 44,500, so only ~18,000 miles from last repair. I think two brake jobs at 40k miles is not right.

I purchase the vehicle back Jan of 2011 not even 6 months and 11,000 miles my brake pads were done. I took it to Honda and was told my driving was the issue and not under warranty it was nothing but bull from Honda. I replaced the brake pads and once again not even another 11,000 my brake pads are done again, this time I replace them myself and notice that both inside brake pads are worn out more then the outside. The pads are wearing out uneven that's not normal. Honda should warranty pads and pistons there's something wrong with the braking system.

I purchased my brand new Honda Civic in 3/2010 (it only had 11 miles). About 7-8 months later, I noticed the Civic was making wierd braking noises. It would come and go. But in 2/2011 (less than a year after my purchase) I was scared to drive my car because it was not braking. I almost rear ended someone and could have caused an accident. I took the car into a Honda dealership to inspect my brakes as it was getting worse and I did not feel safe driving it. I was told I need to replace both front brake pads and my left rotor. The car had less than 9000 miles on it!!! I paid $400 because there was no warranty on the brakes!! I was told it was because of my driving. 7 months later (9/2011) the brake is at it again. This time, there was no sqeaking sounds to warn me, the car suddenly sounded like it was metal rubbing on metal and my car wouldn't brake. Again, I almost got into an accident. This is not right! I've owned several vehicles prior and never had any break issues. Now I'm scared to drive my car. How am I going to get to work? I'm scared to even drive it to the dealership. Plus, they're going to tell me the same thing and charge me another $400 when it's clearly not my doing but a defective problem with the car. Please do something.

I was driving to school and heard the first dreadful, squealing alert of my wearing brake pads. I called my local Honda dealer and asked what might be going on as I was a first time vehicle owner. They told me that my brake pads were surly worn out and blamed me that it was because of my driving habits, or I was racing. At this point I began to laugh in disbelief. They told me to come in so they can inspect the pads. I went in and when I received the car they told me my brakes had been changed and I would not be paying anything since they were changed under warranty. Not too long after, the same squealing noise began and this time around I knew the drill. Ever since I've had to replace my brakes many times, about 5 to be exact, and only at 60k miles. Not to mention, im beginning to worry a bit because my brakes since the recently last time I changed my pads, the response in braking has been very bad. I do fear for my safety sometimes. Especially for my siblings' safety when I ride them to school. Please help the thousands of consumers that are in the same boat as I am.

With less than 12,000 miles on my car, my brake pads need to be replaced. I would have never expected my car to need new brakes this early, so I almost didn't take my car in when it was making a noise. I inspected my car to see if something as stuck in the tires or something like that and am shocked to find out my brakes are already worn. After much research online, I see that this is a common issue for Hondas.

I have a 2010 Honda Civic that I purchase in oct of 2009 that is going through brakes prematurely. There must be some sort of defect with the Civic's braking system. On November 30th on 2010, I brought my car into scott robinson Honda in torrance, CA because my breaks were squeaking. I was certain that after only 13 months and 12,457 miles there must be some sort of defect and that my warranty would cover the cost of any repairs. Wrong. I was told by the service rep that I needed to replace my break pads and that the warranty would not cover the cost because the pads were worn evenly and it appeared to be "normal" wear and tear. I told him that I have had Honda's for the past 20 years and have never had to replace break pads before 25,000-30,000 miles. He simply shook his head and gently insinuated that it may be due to my driving habits or the fact that I live on a hill. I paid them $196. 59 to replace the break pads. On October 31st 2011, I brought my car into scott robinson Honda again for a problem I had been having with the power door locks (luckily, this problem was covered under warranty). When the rep came out to update me on the status, he informed me that I had very little left to my break pads. I was shocked and of course looked at the man like he had four heads. I told him that it was only a year and less than 11,000 miles (10,993 miles to be exact) since I last had the pads replaced. Once again, I was met with the sympathy of a rep shaking his head and a "sometimes that happens" comment. I have always sworn by Honda vehicles, but if I have to lay out 200 bucks for new brake pads every 11,000 miles, I will not purchase another one in the future. I feel that this problem really needs to be investigated further and that Honda should recall and make the necessary repairs.
