2011 HONDA CIVIC WITH 4000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT A BURNED SMELL WHEN BRAKING WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AFTER THE CAR STOPS. NO HEAVY BRAKING THOUGH. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AT 7300 MILES AND A TOTAL OF 7 MONTHS OF USE THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING OR NOT. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID MY BRAKE PADS HAD ZERO % LEFT, METAL TO METAL. THEY BLAMED THE WAY THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AND TREATED ME LIKE I WAS SOME JERK THAT WAS DRAG RACING EVERY DAY AND TOASTED THE BRAKES. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I DROVE THE SAME WAY (AS A NORMAL PERSON BY THE WAY, CITY AND FREEWAY) AND DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES UNTIL OVER 33000 MILES! THIS IS RIDICULOUS, EVEN A VERY BAD DRIVER THAT KEEPS HITTING HIS BRAKES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH 7300 MILES IN A COMPACT CAR. HONDA DECLINED ANY SERVICING AND DECLINED TO FIX OR EVEN LOOK DEEPER FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $100 FOR A 5 MINUTE BRAKE PAD INSPECTION... A JOKE! *TT
