THE REAR BRAKES BEGAN MAKING A GRINDING AND HUMMING SOUND. AFTER TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 348.00 DOLLARS. THEY FAILED ABOUT 40000 MILES BEFORE THE WARRANTIED DISTANCE OF 70000 MILES. I LATER FOUND A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT (BROWNE VS HONDA) IN WHICH IT WAS DETAILED THAT HONDA WAS TO PAY 150 DOLLARS FOR THE PARTS AND 125 DOLLARS FOR THE LABOR. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE DEFECTIVE OR ISSUED A RECALL. THE CASE ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES UNDER 3 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL PURCHASE, BUT BECAUSE OF MY MILITARY SERVICE MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY HALF OF THE EXPECTED MILEAGE 6 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I NOW EXPECTED TO SHOULDER THE COST OF DEFECTIVE PARTS AND LABOR AS WELL AS AN INHERENT RISK TO MY SAFETY BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM, AND THAT IT WAS SOMEHOW MY PROBLEM NOW. *TR

LOUD WHINING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, CAUSED US TO HAVE THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHECK THE BRAKES. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE VERY BADLY WORN THROUGH. THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE TIME, MEANING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE EXCESSIVE USE. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE TYPE OF DRIVING WE DO AND HOW WE DRIVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT HONDA HAS HAD TWO CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HERE IS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. THE SETTLEMENT DOES NOT BENEFIT US SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2009. WE HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT MANY DRIVERS MUST REPEATEDLY REPLACE THESE BRAKE PADS. SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. *TR

STARTED FROM STOP AT LIGHT INTERSECTION AND ACCELERATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR AND NOW GOING STRAIGHT, FOUND CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. BEGAN HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE WITH CONTINUED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUING. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND RPM METER SHOWED ENGINE REVVING TOWARD 7000 RPM AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO DRIVE GEAR TO AVOID CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE STILL HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUED IN DRIVE GEAR AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE SECONDS, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. ENGINE SUCCESSFULLY SHUT OFF AND I CONTINUED TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE AND STEERING THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER CAR CAME TO A STOP IN PARKING LOT, PUT THE GEAR BACK TO PARK MODE AND PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR IGNITION (I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL SINCE REALIZING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED). CAR STARTED AS NORMAL WITH NORMAL IDLE SPEED IN PARK. DROVE THE CAR TO DEALER AND HAD DEALER CHECK FOR CODES AND TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. NOTHING ABNORMAL WAS FOUND DURING CODE READING AND TEST DRIVE. DEALER SAID THAT DRIVER SIDE RUG COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCELERATOR TO STICK BUT THIS IS NOT LIKELY CAUSE (IN MY OPINION) BECAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHOULD THEN HAVE STILL BEEN STUCK WHEN I RE-STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

THE NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE GLOVE BOX WHEN THE AIR IS ON IS ANNOYING AND PRETTY LOUD. THE RADIO CAN'T EVEN CONCEAL THE SOUND AT LOW VOLUME. LIKEWISE, THE GLOVE BOX ISN'T LATCHED ACCORDING TO THE LINES OF THE DASH (1 CM GAP). THE GLOVE BOX MOVES AND RATTLES. THE SEAT ALSO RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN GOING OVER ANY SURFACE WHETHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS... THESE NOISES ARE JUST TOO MUCH. THE CAR IS 09 NOT 1988. ACTUALLY 1988 PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEAL SAID THE AIR NOISE IS NORMAL??? SORRY IT'S NOT NORMAL TO NOT BE ABLE TO TALK TO SOMEONE BECAUSE THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S BREAKING DOWN AND NOISE IS COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION. *TR
