Description of the problem | I went to a local sears automotive service center after i'd heard squeaking coming from the rear of my vehicle. A co-worker told me it sounded like a problem with my brakes and that i should have them checked. The mechanic showed me the brake pads that came from the rear brakes of my car--there was no padding left! Another mechanic advised me that he'd seen a lot of hondas come in a similar condition--front brake pads showing some wear and rear brake pads with almost no padding remaining. He advised me to call honda and ask about recalls. I called the local honda dealership and was advised to visit this website: www. Accordsettlement. Com. I called for assistance because it didn't appear that my vin was included. I contacted [xxx] llp, who said they couldn't assist me because my car was not affected by the class action lawsuit. I think that this braking issue should be further investigated--it appears that it affects more than just the first nine 2010 models produced (as [xxx]claims), as i'm experiencing similar problems to other accord owners. Brakes are a very component of one's vehicle! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
