Today I had the dealer replace my warped front rotors and cracked front brake pads on my 2003 Accord for the 3rd (that's THIRD!) time. I have 33,000 miles on the car but every 7,000 to 10,000 miles, the rotors and pads have had to be replaced!! Have you viewed the complaints at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov)Web site? Many have filed complaints for this same problem.

Apparently this problem is being experienced by thousands of '03 Accord owners!!

My driving is definitely not causing the problem, nor is anything else that I do lead to this problem. While the dealer has been great about the repairs, and because I have insisted each of the three times that the parts be replaced they have been replaced (rather than having the rotors turned), I am now faced with the likelihood of having the same issue arise again in 7,000 to 10,000 miles when the car will be out of warranty!!

I may have to file suit under the Lemon Law here in Ohio. I contacted Honda's main Consumer office today and was told that they would investigate the records at the dealer and get back to me. However, I feel that unless they replace the vehicle I will have to file suit. But because I am an attorney, I can do so without incurring attorney fees. I feel sorry for the other thousands of those who are similarly situated.

If my situation is not amicably resolved within the next two weeks, I will definitely be bringing this matter to the attention of the top level at the NHTSA, Consumers Union, the State Attorney General's Office here in Ohio, and other private/governmental organizations.

You should be very concerned about this, as there is every reason to believe that the cause is a design defect--and Honda knows about it!! Lastly, this is not an issue involving a radio knob falling off, or door trim separation---but BRAKES, which, naturally, is a critical and serious matter!!
