Dealer had to replace both rear brake sets and resurface the rotors at my expense. Dealer blamed corrosion ; I blame a Honda design defect in their braking system.”
NHTSA complaint #10992709, filed 2017-06, 36,341 miles“Brakes wear out and develop hot spots. Had to replace either brake pads or rotors often.
