Brake inspections are recommended for your Honda along with oil changes every 5,000 miles or 6 months. This is an inexpensive way to prevent brake catastrophic failure. Brake parts wear as they do the job of slowing your vehicle. Pads and rotors lose a small amount of their material every time you brake and need to be replaced when they reach the wear limit specified by Honda. Brakes wear at different rates based on highway miles vs stop and go driving, temperature, and other factors. Because of this regular inspections should be important to you. Brake problems can often be noticed by the following symptoms:
- Squealing sound while braking
- Burning smell after braking
- Vibration during braking
- Brake warning light on
- Longer stopping distance than usual
