2004 Accord EX 5M with 60,000 miles on it. I have never had my brakes
replaced nor have I had any brake-related work done on my car. My
brakes have lasted quite a while...

Anywho, just last week my car starts making this moaning/squealing
noise when I go in reverse. Nothing when driving forward, just
reverse. It sounds like a rubbing noise and I'm pretty sure it's
coming from the rear end of the car.

Anyone else experience this with their Honda? I have an appt. to take
it to the shop this Friday. Hopefully it's just new pads that I need.
Any ideas on what this might be?

All Honda automatics make noise in reverse (they sound like manual
trannies), but maybe you've just got a pebble jammed against your disk?
First time I went on a dirt road that happened with my Odyssey and it
was hard to get out. Sounded worse going forward.

If it were a pebble you'd think it would make the noise in both
directions, but it only does this in reverse, and it just started, so I
don't think it's a pebble. I am trying to limit my time going in
reverse so it own't make it worse before my appt on Friday. Hopefully
it's nothing too expensive

Turned out to be bad rear brake pads. Thanks.
