Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a serious compliant regarding my honda accord. on june 13, 2005 my wife noticed a squealing noise coming from the right rear portion of the car. she scheduled an appointment for june 14 at desert honda in las vegas. *jb the service rep reported to me that the rear bakes were in need of replacement, this despite the fact that the car had only 16,271 miles. i find this issue to be unacceptable. we purchased a honda largely due to a reputation of excellent reliability. clearly we were mistaken. either the dealership committed fraud by performing an unneeded repair, or honda built a car with very poor quality. i do have the used brake pads, or at least what the dealer claims is the pads from our accord. the repairs were not covered by warranty. i find the safety issue of brakes to be unacceptable considering the relative age of the vehicle. i know of another honda accord with the same problem.
