hi dhasha!

I assume that you have read my post above, on this page, under the name James Casson.

I just mailed a Demand Letter and Notice of Claim Letter (under the Ohio Lemon Law statute) to Honda seeking remedies under the Ohio law for the ongoing (FOUR attempts) "repairs" to my 2003 Honda Accord brake pads AND rotors. The problem cannot be repaired, and it is obvious that this brake problem is only a symptom of and underlying problem elsewhere! I believe it is a design defect.

In any event, there are thousands and thousands of 2003 Accord owners with the same problem.

They should give you new brake pads, and rotors WITHOUT CHARGE!! However, you MUST INSIST that that be done. If the dealer fails to agree, then call the Hoda warranty customer service national telephone number--that toll free number is listed inside your warranty book.

*****You should know that a TSB (Tecnical Service Bulletin) has been sent to ALL Honda dealers from Honda regarding this issue, so mention to the dealer that you are aware of that TSB. However, that TSB, in my opinion, does not correct the problem as it merely tells the dealers to change the poorly designed brake pads that came on the 2003 Acccord from the factory--because they are not the right design--and to replace them with a "more meaty" brake pad that Honda "thinks" will solve the problem.

Hope this helps.

James
