NHTSA Complaint #11152284 — 2017 HONDA ACCORD

BRAKE CALIPER RETAINING CLIPS APPEAR TO BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR POORLY DESIGNED. THIS HAS A TRAIL OF PROBLEMS COMPILING AT A QUICK PACE. THE BRAKE PADS DON'T TRAVEL FREELY EVEN WITH GREASE. THE OUTSIDE BRAKE PADS WILL WEAR OUT APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MILLIMETERS BEFORE THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN TO THE SQUEALER (WARNING NOISE TO LET YOU KNOW BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED). THE OTHER PADS WILL GRIND THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE ROTARS. BRAKE PADS WILL NOT RETRACT BAKE TO NORMAL POSITION AND CONSTANT FRICTION CAUSES EXCESSIVE HEAT WHICH IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE CALIPER PISTONS, WHEEL HUB/BEARINGS, WHEELS, SIGNIFICANT MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION DAMAGE BEING OVER WORKED. GAS MILEAGE IS CONSTANTLY IN HIGH TEENS. RARELY HAVE I EVER HIT OVER 25MPG REGARDLESS OF CITY DRIVING OUT HIGHWAY DRIVING. FIRST SIGN OF BRAKE PAD FAILURE@1ST 8,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID IS ALREADY BURNT OR DRK BRWNISH COLOR AT 40,000 MILES. THIS CAR GENERATES MORE THAN QUESTIONABLE HEAT FROM FRONT WHEELS AFTER 10MINS OF PARKING LOT DRIVING. THIS APPEARS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVING HARD AS IF I AM ABUSING THE 2.4L 4CYL ENGINE POWERING A CVT TRANSMISSION.
