Front tires make a loud grinding noise and wear down the brakes on both sides of the vehicle. Very dangerous if not taken care of. This problem has happened to all honda vehicles from 2008 to present. Dealerships are all saying it is normal but the sound the car makes is not. The grinding can be heard from inside and outside the car. The government should look into this problem for the american people since honda is…

A rubbing, grinding, metal on metal noise from the front brakes after a little over 19, 916 miles. I had the dealership perform an inspection of the brake system and was told that it was not under warranty. The pads have worn down to the point where metal-to-metal contact is occurring, my vehicle may not be able to stop safely, and damage may occur where the brake rotors or drums need to be replaced.

2009 honda civic lx - 28,085.00 miles. Front driver's inside brake pad worn down to 1 millimeter. I noticed the squealing sound last week and it has progressively gotten worse. The inside piston on the driver caliper is not recovering after brake is applied therefore causing pad to wear out prematurely. This is an ongoing issue with honda accords but after researching this, it is an ongoing problem for honda civics…

We have a 2009 honda civic with 24,000 miles on it. Recently we noticed that there is a very high pitched sound when the car is in reverse and you brake. We called the dealer and was told that it was probably brakes. We explained we had a 2004 civic and didn't have to replace brakes for 113,000 miles and this didn't make sense. Then we went online and found there is a huge problem with honda's braking system in the…

Loud sound coming from front end, took it in for warranty repair and was told brakes were worn out at 18,xxx miles. I drive mostly highway miles and i argued that it was too early for that to happen and was told it depends on the driver. I have driven 5 cars in my life and the avg brake life was 60-70,000 miles. I am very disappointed i have to do repairs on a 2009 civic that i purchased with 10 miles on it. I…

When the car is shut off, all assist to the brake pedal is lost within 30 minutes. The si models are manual transmissions. When the clutch is depressed to start the engine with normal foot pressure on the brake pedal, the car will roll if on an incline. Very heavy pressure is required to prevent rolling. The dealer agrees the problem exists but says that is how it is designed. I have 30 years of experience with…
