Description of the problem | in late may 2014 i had the brakes (pads/rotors) replaced on my 2010 honda accord, 2 months later in august, i had brake problems again, - rotors were warped again, managed to get them covered under warranty, - 2 months later 10/31 more brake issues so took them to the dealer (so no after market parts), rotors warped, recommended replacement of rotors and pads, - done, 2 months later in december 2014 back to the dealer (now i've pad for them 2x in 6 months)- replaced the front rotors because they were warped, now, 2 months later in february - back to the dealer again for the 3rd time (1s 2 were not a dealer). This time they were warped, but not as bad - so they machined the rotors because this time i went early, when i first stated noticing it. No one figures out why... So, in total, my brakes have been worked on 5 times in 8 months. The dealer said they had a honda corporate rep take the car for a ride, they were advised there was not a brake problem. But that ride was not till after they machined the rotors, of course there would be no problem - this totally has no logic to even have that done! How many times do i have to have them replaced - under warranty or not, and how much time and money do i have to waste, and before someone tries to figure out why the car is going thru brakes- maybe getting in an accident? In addition to these ongoing brake issue, i've already had to have the 3 pistons rebuilt (under a recall , but i had to fight with the misfire problem for 4 months before they would do anything) and the steering rack replaced (thank god i had 100 miles left on my extended warranty). |
