All 10th gen civics do this.. 10th gen accord, and we've noticed it on some 11th gen civics, too... There was an updated pad that's supposed to help with it..
Pros: updated pad helps
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Second upgrade to Wagner Thermo quiet brake pads and rotors.
Pros: quiet braking
I just changed my rear breaks and rotors on my 2018 limited and will be doing the fronts next week, I have always used Wagner Breaks and rotors. I have been using them for 20 years and 5 of those vehicles have been jeeps with zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints, long use
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Wagner OEX. It's built on a galvanized steel backing plate so it doesn't rust like the painted ones. It also uses a mechanical attachment system to hold the friction material instead of glue, so it won't crack/detach like the cheap pads.
Pros: rust resistant, durable
Cons: none mentioned
I am easy on brakes. I coast to stops and don't speed either. I have a 2009 Fit. I swapped the front pads and rotors at 120,000 miles just because. They totally did not need to be swapped. I have since put 97,000 miles on the replacement pads and rotors. The ceramic pads I installed have plenty of life left. The rotors are near the end, but still work.
Pros: long lasting, good quality
Cons: rotor wear
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 217000 km
I had rears replaced at 40k. At 60k now. I’ve always had a rumbling sound and vibration when breaking from 60-55 mph (around 57) since 40k.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: rumbling sound, vibration
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 60000 km
I did a change on my moms 2011 Malibu last year. She barely drives and we live in northeastern MA so after 9 years and 21k miles later they just rusted out. Pads and rotors especially the rear parts. I used Wagner pads and rotors and been using them for many years with great results.
Pros: great results, long lasting
Cons: rusted out
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Malibu
Mileage: 21000 km
I haven't had much luck with durability on Wagner brake pads on any of my cars, though I've not used these on the Passat.
Cons: poor durability
