Description of the problem | Premature rear brake wear on 2008 honda accord. My vehicle has only 1. 5 mm remaining on rear brake pads with just 17,200 miles. Honda claims this is a result of my driving style. In fact, this is a design flaw affecting thousands of 2008 honda accords. Rear brake pads on a front wheel drive vehicle should not have to be replaced at 17,200 miles. This is a safety problem. |
