Description of the problem | Bought my 2010 honda accord v6 exl new. At 45,000 miles the car experienced extreme shaking of the steering wheel and shuddering of the whole car when the brakes were applied at a speed of 70mph while on a trip. This was occurring whether the brakes were very lightly applied or more firmly applied. A repair shop said the rear rotors and rear brakes were needing to be replaced. The repair was performed and it reduced the symptoms by about 90%. Now last week on another trip, the car began experiencing the exact same symptoms as it had prior to the 45000 mile repair. I have an appointment at the originating honda dealer on july 5th to address the problem. The over the phone speculation by the service advisor is "it's the front rotors". These are expensive repairs but more important, the condition is dangerous when it happens. Few things are more important than the brakes! |
