This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
First time problem occured, brakes making groaning noise and also experienced brake fading. Dealer replaced brake pads. Repeat of problem at 13,500 miles; identical symptoms. Lots of brake dust. Brake system may be inadequate for the weight of vehicle, or brake pad material too soft.
At 1500 miles loud squeaking noise was coming from front wheels. Dealer notified and repaired both rotors/replaced both pads. Later on, brought vehicle in for routine oil change, and asked them to check the brakes. Dealer found cracks in pads, ,which were replaced. Later on, reoccurring squeaking noise was coming again from driver's side front wheel. Can NHTSA help in this matter.
Vehicle purchased new with six miles on odometer. At approximately 2100 miles, we noted a screeching noise and decreased braking. We took the vehicle to the selling dealer, immke Honda northwest -- this dealer put "molykote" on the disks or pads, returning the vehicle to us representing that the problem was corrected. At 3,000 miles, we noted increased metal-on-metal noise and significantly decreased braking. Another dealer replaced both front disks and one front pad, indicating that all were bad. This is reported due to danger of reduced braking and the occurrence at less than 3,000 miles (normal use).
