| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I've had a major problem with the brakes on my 2003 honda accord lx, starting at about 6,000 miles. the problem is front calipers, rotors, and pads with a complaint of "brake judder". the car does not and never has with the exception of the first few thousand miles brake normally. this noise and irregular breaking happens in normal driving and there is an unstable feel to the brakes when braking firmly in an emergency. i brought it back to the huntington honda dealer 3x with that specific problem and was told they saw nothing wrong and on only one occasion made an adjustment and at the same time telling me they saw nothing wrong. now i see now that a tsb has been issued for these brake problems. consequently, now that my car is off of the warranty and i'm reading about thousands of other accord '03 owners with this same exact problem. there should definitely be a recall on this problem. this is a potential safety risk to the owners of these honda accords and other drivers on the road if an accident occurred because of these faulty brakes. now that my car is off warranty i feel as if i have little recourse even though i brought this problem to their attention three times when the car was covered. something more should be done about this issue with the honda company before injuries or death result because of these faulty brakes. i also want to add that i am very disappointed in honda. previous to this accord i owned a civic and i never had a problem like this. i owned the car for 10 years and put 175, 000 miles on it. i most likely will never buy a honda again and never recommend one to anyone else. thank you. *jb |
