Consumer Description

I HAVE 34,000 MILES ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX, THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REVVING WHEN I REACH APPROX 2,000 RPM AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL. THE CAR BEGAN MAKING THIS SOUND ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO IT IS NOT NORMAL. I AM ALSO TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKES ARE ALREADY WORN AND NEED REPLACED ASAP. THE COST OF THE BRAKES TO BE REPLACED IS OVER $500, WHICH SEEMS A LITTLE STEEP, ESPECIALLY WITH HONDA ALREADY HAVING SETTLED THE LAWSUIT OVER THIS MODELS BRAKE ISSUES. *TR
