SUDDEN SCREECHING OF REAR BRAKES AND SHORT AFTER GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING. TOOK CAR TO GET BRAKES CHECKED AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS DUE TO CALIPERS STICKING AND MAKING INTERIOR PADS WEAR OUT COMPLETELY WHILE EXTERIOR PADS WHERE STILL GOOD.

I WAS DRIVING UP I-95 NORTH IN ABOUT WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA AT ABOUT 60-65MPH. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND A LOUD WIND SOUND AS IF THE WINDOW WAS OPEN. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULLED BACK MY SUNROOF SHADE, COME TO FIND THAT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE SHADE BACK AND DROVE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DID NOT WITNESS ANYTHING HITTING MY CAR, THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DETERMINE IS THAT I HAD MY HEATER TURNED ON HIGH BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD THAT DAY. MY ASSUMPTION IS THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES AND PRESSURE THAT CAUSED MY SUNROOF TO SHATTER. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO HONDA TODAY FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED REAR BRAKES. I WAS A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT TWO YEARS AGO TO THIS DAY WHEN I HAD TO HAVE MY REAR BRAKES REPLACED WITH A "NEW IMPROVED" PAD. I HAD 16,527 MILES THEN AND NOW I HAVE 35,859 AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THESE ARE REAR BRAKE PADS AND SHOULD LAST MUCH MORE THAT 17,000 MILES. DUE THIS ISSUE, MY ROTORS WERE DAMAGED BY THESE "NEW AND IMPROVED" BRAKES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER AND NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. TWO SETS OF REAR BRAKES BEFORE 36000 IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
