Re: 2005 Honda Civic - rear brakes 80% worn after 20,000 miles

I, too, had a '91 Civic, and my brakes lasted a lot longer than that. After some 20,000 miles on my '04 Accord, my dealer's service man was amazed at how much brake pad it still has: "negligible wear." Apparently I brake with a light foot, and it's lots of in-town stop and start driving. I suggest you, stay conscious of your braking behavior and see if you can "lighten up." Maybe you brake with a heavy foot?

It depends on how the brakes are sized.

Re: 2005 Honda Civic - rear brakes 80% worn after 20,000 miles
I have not had this problem with other cars I have owned. The brakes
last at least 50,000 miles on them. I received a phone call from the Honda dealer last night asking if the service was OK. I complained about the brakes and they said they would forward it to their management. Howard Lester wrote: > "cinerama" wrote > > > No, I always use my right foot.

Re: 2005 Honda Civic - rear brakes 80% worn after 20,000 miles
Did they check for a stuck adjuster?
