At less than 30,000 miles on my 2007 Honda Civic, the brakes totally failed and fell off the vehicle. The fact that I needed brake work was first brought to my attention by the dealer when they did some recall work on the car for another issue. While I was researching why this may be happening and trying to get some answers from the manufacturer the brakes failed causing major repair bills, tire damage and paint damage to the car. Honda has refused to open and investigation or entertain a complaint in the matter. The dealer will not honor repairs under my extended warranty and I missed payments and risked repossession due to the cost/damages. Had this occurred on the highway it could have caused serious safety issues for myself and others. Although Honda denies it, there are other cases of faulty brakes on Civic and accord models from 2006 to present.

Problem: intermittent loss of full braking ability. Detailed description: when leaving work, my driving routine is very similar day-to-day. Of the estimated 370 times I have left work while driving this vehicle, I have had brake failure on 5 to 10 occasions. The scenario is this: 1. Start engine, back out of parking spot, and apply brakes in order to shift from r to d. 2. Drive 100 feet through parking lot and apply brakes a second time while waiting to enter the main road. 3. Drive one-quarter mile and apply brakes a third time at the first traffic light. It is this third application of brakes that sometime results in brake failure. The brake pedal will go all the way to the floor, and braking capability is about 30% of what it should be. If I pump the brakes, the failure will disappear and normal braking returns. This resulted in a rear end accident, when I could not stop and hit the stopped vehicle in front of me. Vehicle had 36,801 miles on the odometer at the time of accident, and no brake repairs had ever been attempted on the vehicle.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic. I have 85, 000 miles on the car, and I have experienced premature brake failure four times now (I was just advised today by my mechanic that the brakes are once again seriously worn and in need of replacement). The brakes wear unevenly, with more wear on the driver's side, and it always occurs approximately every 20,000 miles. When it first occurred, Honda refused to accept responsibility and consider a repair under the warranty. I have not contacted them about the subsequent failures.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact's vehicle was in an accident one week after purchasing of the vehicle on June 30, 2005, the accident occurred on August 8, 2005 while pulling into a baseball diamond at 35 mph, and pressing the brakes they would not hold, causing the vehicle to smash into a fence. The contact received the car back from the state farm authorized body shop on September 6, 2005, and had another brake failure on September 9, 2005. This time he drove the car at 40 miles and probably pressed the brakes about 25 times, and they grabbed. Then, depressed them about three inches and then grabbed again. He contacted state farm insurance, and they told him to contact Honda national, which he already done and filed a complaint with the manufacturer. Also, state farm was investigating this issue.
