Between having permanently warped rotors that weren't replaced under warranty maintenance, and having the replacement pads wear just as quickly, I'm less that happy about how Honda/Acura has handled the situation. For two years now my brakes have squeaked and squealed, pulsed and vibrated, and I'm sick of it. Since the brakes wear unevenly, the tires also wear poorly and unevenly. When I had my tires rotated, the one that suffered the worst (the rear left) was placed on the right front of the car, causing the car to pull to one side. Les Schwab told me there wasn't an alignment problem since they aligned the wheels after the rotation, and the Acura dealership had no idea either. I just dealt with a car that pulled to the right because I didn't feel like spending another moment attempting to fix the car at this point. I eventually found out the problem was with the tire itself, and by the time I went in to have them replaced, the front right tire was leaking small amounts of air, and had been completely balded on the inside portion of the sidewall due to the way the car's poor braking distribution had worn it. I don't even want to think about how much damage this brake problem has caused to my suspension, steering system, and any other miscellaneous bearings and bolts that were put under excess stress. Needless to say, new tires helped the situation, and I promptly went back to Acura and demanded they replace all of the brake pads. They grudgingly obliged. Once I replace the rotors (myself), the car should be back in working order. Mind you, the amount of time between when my brakes and tires were completely acceptable to the time they both fell apart was roughly ten thousand miles.
I didn't pay over 30k for a car that can't seem to do something as simple as come to a stop without a problem.
