The contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated that a warning indicator randomly kept flashing to check the air bag system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times, but they were unable to provide a solution. The contact felt as if they misdiagnosed providing a solution and required that brake repairs be completed before servicing the air bag system. The first repair from the dealer indicated that the abs indicator was illuminated, but the contact stated that it was the air bag warning indicator. The dealer cleaned the rear brakes and adjusted the rear brakes during the first repair. During the second repair, the dealer replaced and resurfaced the front brake pads. The brake fluid exchange was serviced as well. Two days after the repairs, the service air bags indicator illuminated again. The dealer was notified of the failure a third time and indicated that they would follow up, but the contact received no response. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
Okay so I bought my 2013/civic with 4200 mil . . . . At 9000 miles I had to replace my pads and resurface the rotors. . . Mechanic said it was durle to my driving habits. . . Now it happens again at 30k. . This time had to buy new rotors and pads. . . Mechanic said the same due to driving habits. . But now that I see other stories I really have a hard time believing it was my driving that caused it. . . Please look into this and the air bag situation. . . Thanks.

The failure mileage was 18,000.
I've been driving for 35 year and have replaced brakes and rotors numorous times. I've never had to replace brake pads on a 18 month old car. Without warning they wore prematurely down to the metal. After searching for similar complaints, I found a class action lawsuit from 2010 with the accord. Honda lost but they haven't fixed the issue with the Civic. There are countless complaints from other Honda owners. The service department from two dealers refuse to admit to the problem and referred me to corporate. No more Hondas for me.
A dog ran into the street and I had to brake hard quickly. The brakes made a grinding sound and were very unstable causing the car to skid and swerve. Took the car in for 15k servicing and was told brakes were shot, got new pads and rotors resurfaced. This was too soon, the serviceman blamed my driving habits. Took the car in for servicing near 25k miles and brakes again had to be replace and rotors turned. The service man again blamed my driving habits. I have been driving over 35 years, 6 different cars, the same route for 17 years and never had to get brakes replaced before 30k miles and certainly never had problems with the rotors so soon.
