I brought my car into the Honda dealership yesterday because of squealing noise I noticed when I was driving. Now this car is not even a year old, has 15,00 miles on it and they told me I needed new rear brake pads. I asked the guy why because I know brake pads should go for at least 30K sometimes 40K miles and mine was nowhere near.

He said that the 2008 Accord was made with thin material for the brake pads so it caused it to wear down faster. He said Honda was aware of the problem and that many other people had had the same issue. I still had to pay for the repair and it's not fair and I feel like Honda should pay for it. They are aware of the problem so they need to do something about it. I am not going to keep paying for brake pads at 15K miles or less! That's ridiculous. Make it a recall or else fix them for free. I should not have to pay for new brake pads when it is a Honda default with the car.

Why would they make them so cheaply to begin with?? Sounds to me like Honda just wants to make some more money and screw people over. I will trade in this car before I pay for another brake job at such a low mileage.
