1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2014

I purchase me the car in January 2014 and replaced the brakes in September 2014. Now I have to replace them again because the pads keep wearing down. My rotors were also affected. There is a constant rubbing sound while driving and turning.

2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2014

Càr inspected in Dec 27 2013 . Inspection verifies brakes are in good shape passes inspection. Two weeks later brakes began making noises. Took to Honda dealer again and was told brakes required replacement with rotors resurfaced dealer indicates virtually no breaks. Unsure how condition of brakes were missed during inspection. I feel brakes pads wore prematurely.

3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2012

Have had to replace the brake pads every 6 months dince we purchased in July 2012. The car had very liw miles when purchased and now has 90,000. Miles. The mechanic says it is not normal to need replacement so often. Brakes buckle when coming to a sudden stop.

4 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2012

Front brake pads completely bare. I am an older woman driver who does not endure much stop and go traffic. Never owned a car where brake pads failed/worn in just 1 1/2 years of driving. All other cars owned by family have brake pads last 80k miles. Replacing pads today, but was told by Honda rep that it is my fault due to my driving habits. Had I known what I now know. Or seen the online customer/owner's comments regarding their customer service and brake issues that date back almost a decade, I would not have bought this car.

5 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2011

This car has a major brake issue. Both front pads have worn by 75% at only 6,000 miles, and had to be replaced at 9,800 miles. Worn out again at 16,000 miles. Told to drive car until the brakes "failed" and them to come back for new ones. Honda claims this is normal!!!!! brakes should last 40 or 50k before needing to be replaced. Someone has to force them to fix this issue.

6 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2011

Driving the car for one year now I have noticed that the brakes make a pop noise after going in reverse then forward, also a fews times the car brakes feel like its not really slowing the car down from freeway speeds and almost casued a few accidents by not providing enough braking power. The suspension is inadequet for the car it bottoms the rear of the car with <100 lbs inside. The car tends to jump forward when decelerating by coasting and applying the brakes right before the auto level is reached has almost caused a few accidents from the car jumping forward about 1-2 feet also feels like a whiplash effect when it does this. Also when going from 0 to 10 at an intersection to move quickly out of the intersection the car does not have power and moves at a slow pace compared to the rpms. Dealer says the pop noise is a gap in the brake pads and the jump effect is possibly due to the ac disengaging but the ac was not disengaging at the time.
