2010 Honda Civic Brakes Problems

MY BRAKES WILL BE STUCK (I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKE) WHEN I SUDDENLY PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDLY. I HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA ONCE I DID ONLINE SURVEY. TODAY, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT APPLY BRAKE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE STREET. THE BRAKE WORKS FINE AFTER THE ACCIDENT IF I PRESS THE PEDAL SLOWLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

LIKE I KEEP READING...I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ON MY CIVIC MULTIPLE TIMES TOO. THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA, BUT I HAVE HAD VW, TOYOTA/SCION AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH MY BRAKES, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT DUE TO MY DRIVING ABILITIES. IF I KNEW ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL BRAKE EXPENSE THAT I WOULD INCUR, I WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED A HONDA PRODUCT.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND I HAD TO CHANGE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND NOW I NEED TO CHANGE MY FRONT DISC AND BRAKES AGAIN! I ALSO HAVE MACHINE TURNED THE ROTORS ONCE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS BECAUSE RECENTLY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHEN I NEED TO USE MY BRAKES, THE CAR WOBBLES AND SHAKES. I WAS TOLD BY AN AUTO MECHANIC THAT IT'S MY FRONT ROTORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 58,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING! MY SON HAS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC AND HE ONLY HAD TO CHANGE HIS BRAKES ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR NEW!! I UNDERSTAND THERE'S LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 CIVIC'S BRAKES AND THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL THAT HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS! I DO NOT HAVE A JOB AND THIS IS COSTING ME UNNESSESARY EXPENSE THAT I CAN'T AFFORD!

I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD MANY AUTOMOBILES OVER MY ALMOST 60 YEARS OF DRIVING. I DO NOT REMEMBER HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT LESS THEN 35,000 MILES OF USE, & HAVE GONE AS MUCH AS 60,000 BEFORE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. MY CURRENT HONDA CIVIC 2010 NOW NEEDS BRAKES AT 16, 000 MILES SOMETHING IS RADICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR AS MANUFACTURED TO MAKE THIS EARLY REPLACEMENT NECESSARY.

THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED IN THE FRONT AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000. A DAY AFTER THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED, AT A DEALERSHIP, THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAL VERY LOAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY SANDED THE BREAKS LIGHTLY AND PUT STOP SQUEAK ON. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AFTER EACH INCIDENT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE BREAKS TEND TO MAKE THIS EAR SPLITTING SOUND ON DECLINE AND AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. HOT OR COLD DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME WHEN BREAKING. THE CAR IS USED 50%/50% FOR CITY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. 40% OF WHICH IS TRAFFIC. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM TO STOP. ALSO SUN VISOR NO LONGER WILL STAY UP. ANNOYING.

BRAKES NEED TO CHANGED AROUND 10 K MILES EACH TIME. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE ON THE BRAKES AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHY I NEED TOO CHANGE IT SO OFTEN. PER OTHER CIVIC USERS, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT MADE THE BRAKE WEAR SO QUICKLY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE BRAKES SO WEAR QUICKLY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALL.

EVERY 9,000 TO 10,000 MILES REAR BRAKE PADS WORN OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING ROTORS TO LOCK UP WITHOUT WARNING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE OCCURRED ON ALMOST ALL 2010 HONDA CIVIC. IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 30,000 MILES IN COMPARE TO OTHER MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH HONDA AND FIND A REMEDY FOR THE FIX. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC, WITHIN A MONTH AFTER PUTTING 5,000 ON MY HONDA CIVIC I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, BRAKES ARE FAULTY, IVE WENT THRU 2 BRAKE JOBS WITHIN A YEAR AND ONLY 12,000 MILES.......NEED TO RECALL THE BRAKES. *TR

TODAY, 9/24/2014, I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 46,147 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THE CAR VERY CAREFULLY AND WE DON'T LIVE IN A MOUNTAIN AREA. FIRST TIME WE CHANGED THE BRAKES WAS AT 10,000 MILES. I CHOSE HONDA CIVIC BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS HONDAS I HAD, AND NONE OF THE PREVIOUS HONDA HAD BRAKES ISSUES LIKE OUR 2010 CIVIC. I HAD A 2008 CIVIC WHICH I LEASED AT THAT TIME, AND I EXITED THE LEASE AT 36,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ONCE! I FEEL THAT MY 2010 CIVIC HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT SAID THEY HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS AHEAD AND ADMIT OF THEIR FAULTY BRAKE PADS AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THANK YOU! *TR

VEHICLE HAS GRINDING NOISE. BROUGHT TO HONDA (NORM REEVES HONDA/HUNTINGTON BEACH) DEALERSHIP. FOUND THAT LEFT FRONT SENSOR BROKE OFF . ISSUE: WHY WOULD A BRAKE PAD EARLY WARNING DEVICE (SENSOR BREAK OFF). LEFT SIDE BROKE COMPLETELY, THE RIGHT SIDE WAS HALF BROKE. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED. IT ALSO CAUSED EXTRA COST BY CAUSING ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 6 MONTHS STARTED BRAKE PROBLEMS. CAR DOESN'T COME TO COMPLETE STOP IF DON'T PRESS IT VERY VERY HARD. WHEN I TOOK CAR TO DEALER, HE SAYS GOOD AND WORKING FINE. I TOOK CAR TO MORE THAN 10 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. BUT I CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I APPLY BRAKES HARD. *TT

HERE WE ARE AGAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS WITH ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN BRAKES. HAVE SPEND OVER 1800 DOLLARS ON PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. CAR STILL WEARING OUT BRAKES IN UNDER 10K. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. COUNTLESS FOLKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THE BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIALS. *TR

MY BRAKES MAKE A WHISTLING RIMING LOUD SOUND. SOUNDS LIKE A BELT. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HONDA I HAD ANOTHER CIVIC FOR 15YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS PLEASE FIX. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY CIVIC IN 2013, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES TWICE, ONCE IN JANUARY, 2014 AND AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING AND SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING OVER A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC VERY MUCH, MOSTLY HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND SO TWICE IN 3 YEARS IS AT LEAST ONCE TOO MUCH AND IF YOU FIGURE THAT IS IT ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, EVEN TWICE IS TOO MANY.

PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR. HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PAD AT 24,022 MILES. *TR

PREMATURE WORM BRAKES. ITS A NEW CAR WITH NEW BRAKES. AFTER BARELY 5000 MILES I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. *TR

AS A PRECAUTION, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXPECTING SOME PAD WEAR AT THIS MILEAGE BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. MY VERY TRUSTED MECHANIC SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PADS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON NEXT OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY PADS HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS - A $650 REPAIR ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. THE MOST TROUBLING THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO "CRICKETING" OF THE BRAKE PADS AT ANY TIME! AND NO OTHER TYPICAL BREAK WEAR FUNCTION ISSUES. NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW, ASIDE FROM A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WHY THE NHTSA IS ALLOWING HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE IS COMPLETELY BEYOND COMPREHENSION. *TR

IT STARTED AS A SCRAPING NOISE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WHEEL, ON THE FOURTH DAY THE NOISE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY LOUD, SCRAPING SOUND EVEN THOUGH MY SPEED WAS UNDER THE LIMIT. I TOOK MY CAR TO NTB FOR REPAIR AND WAS SHOCKED! REPLACED DISC BRAKE PADS,BRAKE SHOES,TWO ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THE ONE LOOKED SMOOTH THEY BOTH HSD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. I NOTICED A PROBLEM, AND BROUGHT IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOT ONLY THAT I NEED NEW PADS BUT I NEED NEW ROTORS AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THESE COMPONENTS WORE OUT THIS FAST, ESPECIALLY THE ROTORS. *TR
