Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing uneven brake pad wear, particularly with the rear driver brake pads wearing thin while the others remain new. This issue may stem from factors such as a misaligned or sticking brake caliper, which can lead to improper functioning and uneven wear. Additionally, some owners find that quicker wear on the rear driver pads may signal a need for adjustment of the e-brake or other brake system issues that require immediate attention. If left unaddressed, this uneven wear can cause further damage to the braking system and compromise vehicle safety. To ensure even braking performance, it is generally recommended that both rear pads be replaced simultaneously. It is advisable for owners to have a professional mechanic inspect their brake system to identify and resolve any underlying issues.
