2008 Honda Accord owner complaints

Took my 2008 Honda accord in for an oil change and was told that my rear brake pads needed to be replaced and that the disc/drums needed to be resurfaced. My car has only 17693 miles! I was shocked.

If Honda has a replacement part for the defective one, then they should pay for the whole thing. I do not believe that I should pay anything. There are Honda owners on the road unaware that they are driving with defective rear brakes. *tr

I was driving on i70 from denver to leadville. On a downhill situation I hit brakes and the steering started shaking causing me to panic.

On 12/22/2014, my 2008 Honda accord lx (which has 98,300 miles on it) was towed into my local Honda dealer. The reason for my having it towed into my local dealer was due to the fact that my engine failed while driving on a residential street drive two miles from my home. There was absolutely no indication whatsoever that my engine would fail as the check engine light did not go on, there was no oil light illuminated, etc. Thus I was shocked when I was driving and tried to give the car some gas and the car did not accelerate ' thus I rolled to the side of the road and contacted a towing company. The service representative contacted me via phone and let me know that there was no compression in cylinder 2 and that I likely needed a new engine. The initial estimate would be $6,000 for
