| Description of the problem | Rear brake rotors scored extensively on new vehicle at 45,000 miles. One pad frozen in place against rotor. Had rotors and pads replaced at dealership. Just experienced same problem with new rotors and pads after 19000 miles. One pad has 0% wear left and was frozen in place. One brake caliper bolt was internally corroded. Dealer technician attempted to blame the three miles driven on dirt roads daily as the culprit. Car is washed with underbody flush once per week. Dozens of others report a similar problem on internet message boards. I didn't feel safe driving the vehicle due to excessive noise coming from rear brakes. Neighbor and i replaced pads and caliper bolts. The next day i felt sufficiently comfortable to drive vehicle to honda dealership. Service manager agreed there was a problem and agreed to replace the rotors for no cost and to refund my cost for pads and caliper bolts. Service manager agreed there is a design and/or material flaw with the rear brakes and noted the problem is even more frequent in the civic. Included picture shows corroded caliper bolt. |
