3rd rear caliper in 2 years - Common issue?
Hey everyone,
I bought my 04' accord 2 years ago and everything runs great and works great on it. The only issue that I've ever had with it is the breaks. When I first got it, my rear driver side caliper was dragging and seized. So I replaced it, and a year later, the rear passenger side started dragging so I replaced both sides, pads, and rotors for good measure. Now just yesterday I've noticed my driver side is locked up again. Is this a known and common issue? I've read that the e-break cable can freeze up on these (like most cars) but I use my e-break every so often to help prevent it from rusting up. Before I go diving into replacing this caliper again, is there anything I should know; because this seems beyond general maintenance at this point.
