While giving accelerator or braking, it makes screech sound from the front.
When inspected with a honda repair shop, he said to change brake pads and is quoting $250.
I did this change recently before a year and 2 months and same problem occurs again.
Strange thing i noticed is after inspection, the sound is more frequently occuring and more high noise. The same thing happened last time as well and i doubt while inspection it gets worsened even more.

Step on brakes a few months after buying brand new and everything vibrates and shakes. Took it in to get repaired and Honda told me that I "have to drive better". They replaced, and 3 months later it started happening again.

Its sounds like a scraping in the front passenger side tire. I first had my rotors machined a couple times, but the shop machined them down too far, so now they have to be replaced.
