I have an 09 EXL... Just had the rear brake pads replaced at 20,700 miles. No charge from the dealership. But they also didn't say anything about this known problem.

 

Hey Guys, It's been a long time since I last posted, but I'll give you an update on my issues....

mainly rattles...everything else has been taken care of and hasn't shown up again.

the rattle in the rear deck was fixed and came back I haven't take it to Honda yet for that though

also, it seems that my seat back shifts one or two knotches back after i've adjusted it, my sister noticed it as well when she was driving my car...

Other than that, the car has been working fine I guess. I'm just dissapointed in my car..learning to live with it.

 

I bought a 2008 Accord LX-P and had just replaced the rear brakes today for the second time since new in Oct. '07. Dealer told me the OEM pads are not the thickest and generally only last 25K or so miles. I was flustered when I heard that! Car now has 61K, 80% from highway miles. As I beached at him, he said he would replace rears for $95.00, without resurfacing rotors because I had not witness any vibrations when using brakes. So my suggestion is to gripe at the dealer and see if you get a discount for brake service or go to aftermarket mechanic.

Good Luck

 

I think the recall allows you recover some costs....also there is an update to the pads and or hardware that is suppose to be installed........

 

I have a 2008 Accord EX-L and it had the same rattle issue with the rear deck. There is a TSB from Honda on this issue and the dealer covered it under warranty. Have never had any of the other issues you are seeing.

 

Fixed the rear deck lid rattle on a 2008 accord sedan by removing the 3rd brake light bulb and inserting 2 small plastic shims that I purchased at home depot. Works great and stopped all noise. Completed repair in about 2 minutes .
