“While driving down the road and approaching a stop sign, I pressed my brakes and noticed that my vehicle did not stop immediately. I had to put more pressure on my brakes than normally needed. This is not the first time that I experienced this issue. I believe that Honda Accord brakes wear too quickly. Please look into this issue, it is a serious safety concern.”
NHTSA complaint #10734449, filed 2015-07, 109,000 miles“I bought my car new in 2006 I currently have 42,000 miles on it and have had to have the rear brake pads and front brakes replaced already. The rear pads were replace around 30,000 and the front rotors at 42,000. Having brakes replaced at this mileage doesn't seem reasonable.”

I have to replace the brakes every 20,000 miles and now I had an incident where my car would not stop. The engine seemed to just go dead and I could not accelerate the car. I had just gotten off the freeway. The car did not want to stop when I was approaching the red light and would not accelerate. It would only go 5 MPH. I pulled off the street, stopped the car and turned it off. …”

I put my car , slowly in reverse and the car took off like it had a mind of it's own. I stepped on the brake, but nothing happened and the car continued to speed up in reverse- with my foot on the brake - heading towards a van with a baby in it in a car seat. I quickly put the car in forward, and with my foot still on the brake, the car flew across the parking lot of the gas station, crossed two lanes of traffic, crashed into the woods. …”
NHTSA complaint #10452501, filed 2012-03, 102,000 miles“1.) every time I tap my brakes in an attempt to slow down when on the highway, the front end of the car starts shaking. I had new tires put on, the breaks replaced and had the rotors checked. I had a check performed on the front end and the mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the brakes, front alignment or my tires. 2.) the cars shakes when I apply the breaks when slowing down while traveling at high speed. I had the suspension checked and nothing was noted out of the ordinary. 3.) when I start the car, the airbag light comes on stays on. Other times when I start the car. …”
