However rear brake pads were worn out and I could hear huge grinding noise from the back. I went to the Honda dealer and have them replace the brake pads. However, it cost me $218.15 usd and lot of agony and issues while driving car.

Improper braking system in 2008 Honda Accord led to the rear brake pads failing prematurely at 32,000 on a mainly highway miles driven car. The rear brake pads were replaced at owner's expense and 70% remained on front pads. Experienced shaking when stopping at approximately 33,000 miles and was told that the front and rear rotors needed to be turned. It appears that something is faulty with the braking system and the dealership and Honda is trying to place blame on the consumer but most cars don't need these things replaced and the sequence that things are failing is pointing to a major defect. You can replace all day, but no one is revealing or fixing the real problem.

Premature brake wear on 2008 Honda Accord. Brought my car (34,000 miles) to my mechanic for an oil change and tire rotation and was told my rear brakes were down to medal. I do primarily long distance driving. Considering there are so many complaints on this and Honda is offering a $125 rebate back for premature break wear, shouldn't there be a recall? this is a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact stated when driving at approximately 60 mph, there were unusual vibrations and the vehicle would abnormally veer toward the right. The dealer rotated the tires but the vehicle then began to veer toward the left. The dealer realigned the front suspension but to no avail. In addition, the brakes would sporadically squeal when depressed. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer replaced the rotors twice but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure persisted. The failure mileage was 50 and the current mileage was 24,800. On July 26, 2010, the check engine light, vsa and an exclamation warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle began idling erratically and the vehicle kept wanting to cut as the consumer approached traffic lights. Upon inspection of the vehicle, it was determined there was a problem with the cylinder. The spark plugs and cylinder were replaced. Updated 08/10/10

Brakes had to be changed at 11,000 miles. Honda said it was normal "wear and tear." Brake light came on at 24,000 miles, followed by a crashing shrill sound the day after. Extremely loud, shrill sound with acceleration. Had to get car towed today following incident. This is a safety and quality concern and Honda refuses to take responsibility for their defective vehicles.

2008 Honda Accord needed rear brakes replaced at 33,152 miles. Never had rear brakes bad before front brakes. (owned 14 new cars) more than 20,000 miles are highway, so don't understand the wear. Am not a heavy brake user - I maintain good distance, coast before braking slowly.

Rear brakes were replaced after 20,000 on 2008 Honda Accord. Honda service indicated that 2008 model year change modified when rear brakes engage at stopping. 2008 Accord engage the rear brakes a fraction of second prior to front brakes preventing front dipping. This was done without enlarging the caliper/pad/rotor dimensions/capacity.

At roughly 6,000 miles, my 2008 Honda Accord began making high-pitched noises (which came from the rear of the car). I brought it into my dealership and they stated, "we could not replicate the noise that you heard." So I continued to drive it. At 22,000 miles, I had to replace my rear brake pads due to uneven ware. The driver side rear pads were okay, however, the passenger side pads showed uneven ware. The inside pad was completely gone. Discussed what I had found with my new Accord with dealership. They stated that my car was still under warranty, but because it was a brake pad issue, it was considered "normal" ware and tare... they wanted close to $300 for repair. I purchased new pads from Napa auto parts and installed myself. I have my old pads as evidence and all receipts from bringing my car to the dealership (which they were unable replicate the problem). However, after further investigation online, this defect is surfacing all over the United States (carcomplaints, com, edmunds, etc.) this is a serious issue that is not being addressed and injuries will occur or worse if this is not rectified.

08 Honda Accord rear brakes started squealing at 28,000 miles. Dealer said pads were a Honda problem and were 'soft' and dealer replaced them. I was concerned about the front brake pads because of problem with rear, and dealer said the front pads were fine. Then about 33,000 miles I started to get a shimmy in the front when I braked at highway speed (over 55 mph). It wasn't too bad at first, but progressively got worse. When the front started to pull to the left when I braked coming off the interstate, I told the service manager at the dealership and he said it's probably a warped rotor. Plus, the service manager said there had been other complaints. He said he would machine the front rotors, but I would have to pay for it. The cost is way beyond my budget. I have nearly 39,000 miles on the brakes and the shimmy is a major shake when I brake at highway speed and at low speeds it feels like I'm driving on rocks when I brake, although I'll be on a smooth service. The pull to the left coming off the interstate is so wrong for a 2008 car. I had it aligned twice just in case that was the problem, but I was assured the alignment was good, but the rotors were not. This was from a highly experienced mechanic not employed by Honda. He also said he had talked to a number of owners of Honda Accord of the 2008 or later model year and they had the same problem with brake rotors warping. That's the events leading up to the problem. The brake rotor failure occurs every mile I drive and the consequences are it takes much more stopping distance when I apply the brakes, and if it's wet, even more stopping distance to safely operate the vehicle. Nothing has been done to correct the failure. Honda says it must be the way I brake, although most of my driving is on the interstate. I found out from other Honda Accord owners that have had the rotors turned that they have to do it again in 15,000 miles. This is a major safety issue, and Honda needs to recall Accord and fix them.

Hello, I have a 2008 Accord LX, this is the 4th Accord I have owned. My concern is with the rear brakes. I am on my 3rd set of rear brake pads and the car has 37,385 mi on it. The front ones have not been changed yet and they are the primary pads to stop with. I took it to the dealer at 19000 mi and after a long debate they replaced the back pads at no charge.I just replaced them for a 2nd time at 37,000 mi. I noticed that the piston on the rear caliper screws out when its used for braking. Every other caliper I have worked with when you push on the brakes the piston pushes on the rotor then releases. The piston on this Accord screws out but does not screw back in causing the brakes pad to have great constant presure on the rotor. I as the dealer about it and they said there is no recall. Either way the breaks should not have to be replaced every 19,000 miles especially if they are the rear brakes the front brake have not been replaced yet and still have plent of life left in the pad. In closing I want to let you know that this is not proper and to as if there is a recall or design change be made to this produce.
