Description of the problem | 1. I believe the rear brake system on 2010 accord has a design flaw that causes the inboard rear brake pads to wear unevenly and to wear faster than the outboard pads. 2. The rear brake pads have had to be replaced twice since i purchased this vehicle new, on october 7, 2009: the first replacement was on september 2, 2011 at 36,365 miles and the second replacement was on march 12, 2013 at 67,699 miles. 3. March 12, 2013 pad replacement. The inboard pads on both sides are worn down far more than the outboard pads. Also, the inboard pads are worn unevenly: one of the inboard pads has 2 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 3 mm left on the other end, the other inboard pad has 1 mm left on the end near the break pad wear indicator & 2 mm of pad left on the other end. The outboard pads are worn evenly and both have 5-6 mm of pad remaining. 4. This is just not right! Both inboard and outboard should wear evenly and at the same rate and give more than 31,000 |
