Greetings from alaska
I have a 2009 Honda accord v-6 with extended warranty. Hears the deal, I have 74500 miles on mine, I have replaced pads and rotors, all this does is fix the symptom, not the problem.My car is currently at the shop, the calipers stuck and these to now need replaced along with pads, rotors, and the axel bearing assembly had the grease cooked out of it and is making noise. Think about how much heat a set of pads generate, and if you go through 2 or 3 sets of pads, all that heat transfers to the other components. It's no wonder honda was eager to settle with just replacement pads. Think about this, the rear brakes on this cars 2 sets rotors, 3 sets of pads and now calipers. 74500 miles....now lets talk about the front brakes on this car.....ORIGINAL STOCK..... I bought this car new never needed to touch the front brakes....I can not say it enough.... Replacing rear pads and rotors does not fix the problem.

 

I remember hearing something about some 08-10 Accords having this problem, caused by one or two issues.

First, I believe Honda updated there rear pads to ceramic materials. The factory pads were organic. The new pad part number for the ceramic pads is 43022-TA0-A40.

The second problem on some Accords were the caliper pins were installed in the wrong places. There are two different kinds for the top and bottom. One pin has some flat edges on it and the other is completely round. The round pin goes on the top and the pin with the flat edges goes on the bottom.

That should take care of all your rear brake problems for a while.

 

Need help
I have a 2009 accord v-6 74500 miles 3rd set of rear pads, 2nd set of rear rotors and now I need new rear calipers. I need honda to fix the problem, which is the braking system...not pads and rotors...
Any ideas? Anyone?

 

The pins being installed in the wrong places at the factory cause them to bind up and not slide freely. This causes the brake pads to drag on the rotor and wear rapidly. I'd check that first.

If the pins are in the right place then I'd look for a seized caliper. If the caliper is not seized and you can compress the piston fairly easily, the next thing to do is replace the brake hose. Sometimes the lining inside the hose collaspes and creates a one way check valve and it's not letting the fluid flow back out of the caliper when the brakes are relaesed. Hope that helps you solve your brake issue.

 

I'd have to look for the TSB but I think there was a change in the hardware as well.

When they replace the calipers - as stated - make sure they verify the pins are in the proper place.
