Asked by Ron S
The rear brake pads on my 2009 Honda Accord are wearing out at almost five times the rate of the front ones.
I am advised that this could be due to the rear brakes being applied slightly before the front brakes, presumably to assist stability when braking, however it would appear that Honda have overlooked the resulting higher loads. Honda has advised that they have no intention of upgrading the rear brakes, apparently the excessive wear rate is considered acceptable. Are you aware of this issue?

25 Oct 2013Rear pads wearing out five times faster than front ones is unbelievable; it it's true then there's got to be something wrong and I would suggest that something is amiss with your car. It could be that the rear brakes are not releasing correctly and are dragging. I would have your dealer investigate it.
