IT WAS PURCHASED AROUND OCTOBER 2008.  ON JANUARY 21, 2010, IT WAS TAKEN TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER DUE TO SQUEALING BRAKES.  THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE WORN AND THE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONLY 12,901 MILES OF USE ON THE CAR.  ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2008 AND 2009 MODEL ACCORDS BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES WERE REDUCED IN SIZE EVEN THOUGH MORE OF THE CAR'S BRAKING POWER WAS SHIFTED TO THE REAR AXLE.  THE DEALER STATED THAT MANY RECENT HONDA ACCORDS WERE NEEDING REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED WITHIN ONE YEAR AND IN AS FEW AS 7000 MILES OF USE.  AS A \"GOODWILL\" GESTURE, THE DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES FOR FREE.  I THEN CONTACTED HONDA'S CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA AND WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT DOES NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY MATTER AND HAS NOT ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS ISSUE.  I BELIEVE THE MATTER IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS FEW DRIVERS WOULD ASSUME THAT THEIR REAR BRAKES MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED ANNUALLY OR AFTER AS FEW AS 10,000 MILES OF USE OR LESS.  BY WAY OF COMPARISON, MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD HAS OVER 92,000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL ORIGINAL.  I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY BEFORE A DRIVER HITS THE BRAKES IN A HONDA ACCORD AND DISCOVERS LITTLE OR NO BRAKE POWER DUE TO THE UNEXPECTEDLY FEW MILES SUCH BRAKES WORK BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2009","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
