1994 Honda Accord Brakes Problems

“I was driving locally applying the brake when the pedal went down nearly to the floor. I was able to get the car to my mechanic a short distance away. The brake line had ruptured just aft of the gas tank where it passes transversely over the frame to the right rear wheel. The line fore and aft is coated but this section is not and had corroded. The condition of the brake line at this point is not visible to inspection when the car is on a hoist.”

“I was approaching a red light, starting to gradually apply brakes more than 200 feet away from the intersection. There's only one car in front of me; it already stopped in front of the intersection. When my car was about 15 feet away from the front car, I felt a sudden loss of braking power, and would have a direct collision with the front car. I immediately made a sharp left turn. My car's right front light area hit the front car's left rear bumper. My car continued moving, and finally stopped on the curb/grass by the side of the intersection. …”

“After purchasing our new Honda Accord wagon on 4/10/94 we noticed that the brakes did not feel as though they were operating correctly. We took the vehicle in to the dealer on 7/19/96 to have the brakes serviced because the rear brakes were worn out after 18261 miles. We asked the service manager if there was something wrong with the brakes due to the premature wearing out of the rear brakes. We were simply told that this was normal for this car with anti-lock brakes. …”

“We purchased our 1994 Honda Accord wagon new on 4/10/94 from Honda of hayward in california. After about a year or so my wife noticed that the brakes felt different but could not specifically state why. On 7/19/96 we brought our car into the dealer because the rear brakes were squealing. We were told that they were worn out and needed replacement. I questioned that the rear brakes would wear out after 18261 miles and was told that this was normal. I was charged $129.08 for this work. On 11/26/97 we needed to have our Honda serviced due to a failed cam bearing seal. …”

“Ongoing problems with front disc rotors. Original equipment rotors warped and had to be turned several times. Replaced at 125000 miles (2002) with Honda parts and the new rotors had to be turned after 2000 miles. Now about 6000 miles later they are badly warped again. Stopping distance is significantly increased when the rotors are this badly warped.”
