| This complaint is in regard to the rear brake system on my 2010 honda accord. through my own research, honda has not issued a recall due to premature wear of the rear brakes in my model year accord, however i learned that they recently settled a class action lawsuit in response to owner complaints about this problem. my vehicle had 22,000 miles on it as of april 24, 2012, the date of my last service. i was informed by a dealership technician that my rear brakes needed to be replaced and that they had only 2 mm of brake pad left on them. i was told that my front pads had 7 mm of brake pad remaining on them. i asked the technician if there was a reason for why rear brake pads would wear out so quickly on a vehicle to which i was given the answer that most automobiles nowadays have the rear brake system providing more of the stopping power than in previous years. i need not go into my own knowledge, nor my personal opinion in this matter. however, the reason i am lodging this complaint does have to do with my knowledge of how braking systems work in automobiles. hence, i thought it prudent to apprise your institution to this issue so as to point out what may be a material defect in my automobile, as well as many others as i would presume. for the record, i bought my car brand new, have had it regularly serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines, and the car has not been subjected to any out of the ordinary driving conditions. | |||
