2003 Accord brake pad anomaly

With 30,000 km from new, my accord wore out its rear brake pads with the
front ones 50% worn.
This seems weird to me ..... anyone had similar experience or should I query
binding pads ?

My Accord 1998 still has the original brakes, recently I had the 72,000 km
done on my car, the result indicate
that the front brakes are down to 40% and the rear brakes 70%.
Normally the front brakes should wear faster than the rear brakes, it seems
to be a little premature to have the
rear brakes replaced at 30,000 km.

 

Not really. Assuming the rear rotors aren't vented like the fronts,
they generate much more heat and thus cause the pads to wear out faster.
Besides, the rear pads are usually thinner to begin with.

my 2003 V6 did just about the same

 

My car too has brakes worn like 90% at 25K miles. We had it checked at
another place and he also recommended replacing. Looks like they are not
covered by warrenty... somethings wrong... 25K and new brakes doesn't make
sense. Does Honda have any recalls outstanding?

 

Are they worn EVENLY at 90%, or is ONE PAD at 90% wear?

 

I also have a 2003 Accord. I complained about the brakes at 3000 miles. I
felt they were touchy and grabby especially at slow speeds. At 25,000 miles
the brakes were much worse. Took it back to the dealer, expecting to pay for
new pads, possibly rotors. They replaced the pads and rotors no charge.

 

yes, on 2003 accords

 

On 2003 Accord brakes? I haven't received any notice from Honda other
than the one on the 5-speed automatic.

Both of them are worn 90% or more... The guy at shop who inspected them
also said that rotors have grooves that make car vibrate when braking at
fast speeds.

I am taking it to dealer tomorrow... I hope its covered by warrenty.
Otherwise my next car is not going to be Honda for sure!

 

If they are evenly worn, the warranty will not cover it. Sounds like
somebody in your household is riding the brake pedal. They won't be covered
on you next car either (whatever make it might be).
