Experienced loud, grinding, noise coming from the front driver side while driving- (noise-not consistent). Took civic to the dealership and diagnostic came out to be: bad brakes!! This was a huge shock and pricey surprise!! Not only did the brakes wear out prematurely (in mine and others opinions) but the dealer had the audacity to overcharge me. Embarrassed to say i paid: there special $210. As an nave 1st time…

While traveling on interstate with cruise control engaged at speed of ~72, went to apply brakes and brake pedal was hard and did not move. Cruise control did not disengage. Had to hit brakes several times before they worked. This incident occurred again 2 days later. Same exact issue. *tr

Front brakes at 3mm after 17,000 miles. Strongly recommend an investigation on this issue, a huge safety concern and consumers paying out of pocket. Something is not right. Please investigate. *tr

I went for my regular maintenance service and i was told that my brakes need replacements. Brakes worn out at very low mileage and it is not covered under warranty. There is something wrong with the brake system.

As mentioned by other owners, i had to replace my brakes in -25000 miles where as a former honda accord owner, i replaced the brakes every -55-60k. The quality and safety of the 2010 brake system is very unsafe especially since i took the car -25000 miles to the westminster honda world and they didn't even catch it! Moreover not even within warranty period!

I bought this car used from a dealership. About 2 weeks later, i noticed what sounded like two metal discs rubbing against each other. I took the car back to the dealership and told them what i was hearing. They looked into it and found out that the rotors needed to be machined and the brake pads replaced. I was pretty shocked that at 22,000 miles, this would need to be done. Luckily since i had bought the car less…

At 15000 miles my cars front brake pads and rotars are worn out, i had brought my car to honda for my 15000 mile service, where they are supposed to inspect brakes, yet no mention of brake issues were brought up. Two weeks later my brakes were bad. I have been reading that many people have the same defect in there honda civics. I am hopeful that honda does a recall, to protect there name, because i was originally…

The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 17,435.

Service Brakes
Needed new brake pads at 18,645 miles during three year lease. Warranty does not cover brake pads like other car makers. Brake pads should not wear out so quick. I do not have 245 dollars for every 18 thousand miles or less to change the brakes every 2 years. I have owned a chevy and ford,bought brand new and needed new brake pads at 40k miles plus. *tr

I kept hearing squeeling noise on my brakes so after taking it in to honda they told me i needed new brakes. When i bought the car it had 8000 mi on it at around 18000 is when i kept hearing noises then went away. Now at 22000 mi i brought it into honda to check it out as other places said brakes were fine. (maybe they didn't want to be responsible as they knew it was a honda issue?) i think this is premature…

Premature brake pad worn out 17000 miles on front brakes less than two years since the civic was bought. Paid $287.00 and honda is refusing to reimburse fees. *tr

With only 25,000 miles my brake pads need to be replaced. Diagnosis came from loud screeching and whistling noise from front drivers-side tires. Had no consistency with speed or braking - sometimes it whistled while going fast, sometimes while slow, sometimes while turning, sometimes while braking. I take public transportation to work and use this car very infrequently. I am disgusted by having to change brake pads…

I was told that my brakes were gone at approximately 30k miles. There was no indication that there was a problem or an issue. New front brakes were installed. Then as of june 2014, with only 23k miles on this set i again had to replace the front brakes. No warning lights or indicators. No squealing to indicate that there is a problem. I'm very nervous now because there is no way to tell if the brakes are going. I…

On our new honda civic, our front brakes went out at 15,900 miles. Of course, the service reps tried to blame the "hard driving" which was their assumption. They did replace them, but now at 29,000 miles, the front brakes are out again. Clearly, honda is using either poor quality pads or the braking system is defective. We are taking it in again, but don't have a lot of confidence that they'll do the right thing and…

I own a 2010 honda civic lx model. My car was serviced at 18,800 miles. I was told by the honda service department that my brakes had to be changed. I bought the car with 6,400 miles on it. I was shocked at the fact that the brakes needed to be changed at about 12,000 miles into driving the car. Brakes are meant to last about 30,000 miles before being needed to be replaced. Honda does not let the owners of these…

My 2010 honda civic dx with just over 36,000 miles on it has been going through brake pads every 10-15,000 miles. This is entirely too frequent, and the braking system is grinding and having issues now as well. This should not be happening on a vehicle that is this new, and the brakes should be lasting much longer. Even a heavy breaker does not go through brake pads this frequently. There should be a recall by honda…

I was driving my car like every day. But every time i press the brake i heard the sound (metallic). I went to the honda service center. After inspection they told me that the rotor was deteriorated and the front pad is damaged. I have to do the servicing and its a maintenance issue. So honda will not pay anything! I paid $289.26 from my pocket to do the rotor resurfacing and replace two front brake pad of my new…

At 18,000 miles the 2010 civic ex began to "growl" starting at 57mph. The right real wheel was also much hotter than the other three wheels after driving about 20 miles. The problem became worse each week, to the point i had to take the car to the dealer to be checked out. The dealer told me that the brake pads were stuck, as well as the brake "slides", and that they "adjusted" them. They also told me that both back…

Need front rotors and pads - totally destroyed with all highway driving and less mileage than any other car ever owned. $466.57 with no warranty. Ludicrous that this would occur at this mileage. Could have been a major accident with no warning. *tr
