Rear brake wear signal indicator stated to squeal and make scraping sounds. Inspection reveals excessive wear on right rear brake. Dealer told me on 09/13/2011, brakes are warranted for 1 year or 12,000 miles only and no warranty service would be made available. Dealer informed me on 09/13/2011 that a form will be provided, as a result of law suit. That would reimburse me $150. How can a lawsuit be successful without a safety recall?

Front brakes on this model are prematurely going out. I have 21,000 miles and they are terrible! someone is eventually going to get hurt. Transmission is also acting up since the time I bought the car. I have complained six times about both issues but to no avail.

My '09 Honda Accord started having brake noises at under 20K miles. Upon taking in the first time at 22K miles I was told the car needed new rear brake pads and resurfacing already. After much complaining (because brakes aren't usually a warranty item, and this was prior to the class action settlement) they did repair and replace them for free. 1 year later I began experiencing a shimmy when braking on the freeway or especially on a hill, and was told then that the front rotors are now magically "warped". I dealt with it for a while, but then recently began hearing the metal on metal sound of the rear pads going out again. Sure enough, upon taking to the dealer we purchased the vehicle from, it does in fact now need rear pads again at 46K miles, as well as front rotor resurfacing....which now I'm also told you can't use the front pads anymore when you resurface the rotors. So essentially, I'm replacing both front and rear brakes(rear brakes for the second time), and resurfacing for the second time at only 46K miles. Naturally, the Honda service department people don't care and won't cover anything under warranty even though this is clearly a well known Honda defect. Sorry Honda, but you just lost a customer who has owned 4 Honda up to this point.

- Newbury Park, CA, USA

My 09 Accord began making horrible metal on metal screeching sound out of the blue at 24,900 miles. Took it in for checkup and was told my rear rotors needed to be replaced due to manufacturer error caused by caliper slides being frozen and too much brake pressure applied to rear brakes. Was told by technician that he has seen many Accord with the same problem of manufacturer error. I am very disappointed as I was not and have not been made aware of this problem by Honda.

- Los Angele, CA, USA

The dealer discovered premature brake wear for 2009 Honda Accord - rear brakes started to grind at 16,300 miles. He said that this is a common problem for this car. I was quite surprised to find out that Honda would not pay for the repair since it was clearly their fault that the brakes were wearing out too early.

- New York, NY, USA

Rear brake pads wore prematurely as per class action suit notification we received in 2010. Upon inspection for routine maintenance (no other signs of a problem occurred) found that the rotors were also ruined and required repair. Honda seems ready to wash their hands of the situation because of the class action settlement and would not pay for rotor replacement, at least that is what the dealer indicated. Total cost of repair was $337. Not happy and the second problem with the vehicle on a critical safety system (front wheel bearings went and were replaced by Honda at about 20,000 mi). I'm concerned there will be ongoing critical failures if our experience with this Accord is any indication of what is to come.

- Northfield, VT, USA

In June 2009 I purchased a 2009 Honda Accord. At 10,000 miles I was told I needed to replace my rear brake pads. After I complained barber Honda changed my brakes for free. Now I have 27,000 miles on my vehicle and once again my rear brake pads need to be replaced. I was told by barber Honda that I would be responsible to pay for my new brake pads. I was also told it was normal wear and tear. I've had many cars in my life and have never had to replace the rear brakes even once w/27,000 miles on it much less twice. At this rate I will have to replace the rear brakes once a year at $150 each time.

- Bakersfield, CA, USA

I went to take my 2009 Honda Accord exl coupe 2.4L 4cyl. For routine oil change in the course the advisor at the oxala service desk said that my rear brakes are in severe change and rotor replacement. I said that the car has 33,000 miles. He said this happens. I found out in the showroom waiting for my car that there was a class action lawsuit for the 2009 Accord brake problem. I removed my car took elsewhere to check it out only to find the break pads and the rotors needed changing as well. I went ahead for the repair so that I would be safe. To find out that month earlier I had an accident by not being able to stop even with time to stop the vehicle needless to say I had an accident. I believe that my brakes locked up due to manufactures defect of the onboard braking system. I should get reimbursed for the repair. The parts on the car were defective. If this is the care I should have compensation from the auto accident as well.
