I have a 2003 Accord EX - 4 cylinder with 39000 miles. I bought the car brand new and after about a year and 12000 miles Honda replaced the brakes as there was an issue with the 03 Accords brakes - they sounded like metal on metal.

Fast forward to the last week when I stepped on the brake pedal gentlely the brakes made a sound similar to air escaping. This morning exiting the highway I stepped on the brakes and it sounded almost as bad as metal on metal, this happened only this morning but I am concerned as the brakes have 27000 miles on them.

Surely this car is not going to go through brakes every 27000 miles??? Does anyone else have this issue?
