HI Guys,

I'm sort of new to this forum, been lurking around for the past month since I purchase a 2009 Accord sedan EX 2 months ago. Noticed all the threads regarding the premature rear brake issue and that started the paranoia that my car would be a victim. Well after only 700mile I've noticed small squeaks at cold starts and short runs, especially after it rains but happen when it’s dry outside as well. The squeaking is on and off, never consistent, nothing serious... I know no cars are perfect, I had a 2001 Maxima which ate the rear brakes before the front at 15K, but the car never rattle even the day it was gone with 150k+.

I grew up loving Honda but seeing how things are changing for whatever is unfortunate. After reading a recent post about a service bulletin acknowledgment from Honda has led me to find that complaints can be utilized when reported to the US Dept of Transportation. With the enough complaints reported, the NHTSA has the authority to order Honda for a recall. Haven't read the newbie rules yet, so I'm not going refer to any links but I did google 'Honda accord service bulletin'. What you guys say? We may finally push Honda for an official Fix! :thumbsup:

Well, first, congrats on your purchase and welcome to DA.NET. Second, for the short runs and cold starts, some break squeaking is normal for this car. Once the brakes heat up a bit and you rub that small rust coat off, they seem to queit down a bit. As for the TSB and forcing a fix, that remains to be seen. Just tell me where to sign when the time comes.

Welcome!

There are too many other parts of life to enjoy, then to stress over abnormal wear in brakes.

(Knock wood) I have 4200 miles on my car and the brakes have never squeaked.

Enjoy life and don't sweat the small stuff.



Your 1st post makes one wonder if you really are new here or a rehash of an old poster.

Well my brakes never squeaked and I don't think Honeygee's did either. Small stuff to you may be a big deal to others. One can still enjoy life while pursuing a remedy for a defective car. I know - I did.

Why would we come here and "pretend" to be someone else? Maybe this poster is having the same problem with his new Honda that many others have had. Maybe he is looking for a solution - the same reason I came here originally looking for a solution to the headlight flicker - only to be bashed by some self-proclaimed experts that stated there was nothing wrong with my car other than "loose nut behind wheel". :yes:
