| Description of the problem | Rear rotors rusted, scored and pads frozen in the caliper. $200 to fix. Investigated online and found a very common problem and honda will not stand behind it. Car is always garaged, has average mileage and average vermont conditions. I have owned many cars with rear discs over the years and have never had this problem, nor have friends i have talked to. Honda attributes the rust to mother nature and therefore not covered by warranty. The obvious conclusion is that it is not where i live, rather the quality of the parts. In other words "defective". Trouble is honda knows it and will not stand behind them. And the answer is to replace poor quality parts with new poor quality parts? Nice racket as long as they can get away with it. Am looking to replace parts myself with quality after market parts at a mechanic's suggestion. Will know the job is done right that way. After all brakes, even the rears, are one of the most important parts of any car. If it was just my crv i could live with that. Problem is it's most likely every one sold in vermont. I'm currently dealing with honda corporate about this. Getting the run around as i was told i would. After all, brake failure with average miles and under warranty and it's my fault they rusted in place? At 63 years old all i can say is "just when you think you've seen it all............. You haven't." |
