2005 Honda Accord Brakes Problems

“I did not finance my 2005 Honda; I paid cash upfront $18,000+. From the beginning I have been reporting to Honda that there is a major problem with the brakes! I bought the car in late september 2005;. When winter came, I noticed that my brakes would stall when it extreme weather(snow, heavy rain, extremely cold weather)! During these poor weather conditions, when I press on the brakes, the car will not stop right away. …”

“Honda Accord 2005 seems like has faulty mechanical on the brake. I was driving down the downward the hill and my brake did not stop. I was suspicious now that my car has faulty mechanical brake because about less than 2 years ago where my car has problem did not brake properly on the freeway. Then, I replaced my brake less than 2 years ago at Honda dealer. The last time my car maintenance was april 2013 and they stated the brakes are still good.”

“Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since I bought it I been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly.

They still cant find the problem. Car also turns off sometimes. Happpened five times already.

“When trying to brake, my car shakes and shimmies as if it is stopping on a cobblestone road--worse when trying to brake when going downhill or at higher speeds. This minimizes my control as my steering column begins to shake and I have to pump the brakes to a complete stop. I replaced the brakes at about 3,000 miles and have to keep replacing them as it gets worse and worse. I took it to a mechanic and he said that my brake pads are fine and can't figure out what the issue is.”

“We have had concerns about the brakes in this car since we purchased it from an individual six months ago. When you depress the brake pedal gently the car jerks forward practically sending the occupants in the vehicle through the windshield. On the other hand, when you really need to stop and apply the brakes quickly they do not respond, requiring a greater braking distance. We have taken our Honda to two Honda dealerships to register our complaints regarding our brakes and were told this is just the way the 05 is . …”
