What owners wrote
2008 honda accord. Consumer writes regarding airbag not deploying during accident *tgw the consumer was hit on the left side by a small truck. The driver of the truck was traveling twice the speed limit. The consumer stated the brakes on his vehicle were defective. An engineer suggested that the front and rear brakes be replaced. But, when the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, the rotors were cut down, which had already been done twice in the past. And the front was cut down once.
My rear brakes had to replaced at 21,400 miles because of excessive wear on the inside brake pad - I had read other reports about this and my brakes had been squeaking since 4000 miles!
