BRAKES ON ACURA 2009 TSX WEARING MORE FREQUENTLY THAT THEY SHOULD. MY ACURA BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE 2 DAYS AGO. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL, BUT I COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS FRONT OR BACK. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 7:00 AM THIS MORNING AND TOLD THEM TO CALL ME AFTER THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND BEFORE THEY MADE ANY REPAIRS. THEY SAID THEY RECOMMEND BRAKE PADS BEING CHANGED EVERY 15,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THAT FOR ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED (I AM ON MY 3RD ACURA AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2 TLS I HAD). THEY SAID THEY WOULD COVER THE FRONT, BUT I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE BACK. APPROX. $350 FOR THE WORK AND MATERIALS. *TR

REAR BRAKES ON A 2009 ACURA TSX HAVE WORN EARLY, WELL BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE WORN DOWN. FRONT BRAKES ARE AT 70+% LIFE, WHILE THE REARS ARE ALREADY WORN TO WITHIN 1MM.

REAR BRAKES ARE WEARING OUT ON THE INSIDE PADS. POSSIBLE CALIPER ISSUE. FRONT BRAKES ARE WEARING NORMALLY.

I BOUGHT AN ACURA 2009 TSX (TECH PKG) IN AUGUST 2008. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH I HAD THE BRAKES SQUEALING,TERRIBLE NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO SAID IT IS NORMAL WITH FRONT BRAKES. I HAVE SUFFERED WITH THE PROBLEM EVERYDAY FOR 1.5 YEARS. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FEW DAYS AGO, THEY SAID THERE IS EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE FRONT PADS. THE CAR HAS 14,000 MILES AS OF MARCH 2010. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES PER THE NEW SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO SQUEAKING BRAKES. WINDSHIELD MOLDING CAME LOOSE FOR NO APPARENT REASON, DEALER FIXED IT AS WARRANTY SERVICE. THERE IS EXCESSIVE GLARE ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, MAKES IT DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. NOT SURE IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. *TR
