How long has it been since you've replaced your pads??

One more day is okay, just don't haul ***. Give yourself plenty of stopping room, and get those pads changed Monday.

First off, are they grinding, or just squeeling?
If they're grinding, then you have a serious problem. Could be you have no pads left and the remaining metal part is grinding against the rotors.
If they're squeeling, could be brake dust build up.
If they are grinding, I wouldn't wait another day. get it checked out asap.
it might be hard now since it's about 9:30PM (EST) Out in the west it'll be 6:30PM. Not sure what time automotive places close out west on Sundays, or if they're even open

if pads on the left and right have that much of a difference, check the calipers on the one with the worn pads.

sounds like the wear indicator to me, change your pads & be sure to bleed them afterwards..sounds like you have air in that one line which would explain the unproportional brakeing

I don't have my manual around but are accords single piston floationg calipers? This could mean that your caliper isn't moving side to side. The bolts could be rusted. This is if you are talking about the right vs left pad.jdm_dynasty said:
Now if you are talking about your right left, it could obviously mean the same thing. Or a frozen piston. Do you notice any pull if this is the case? Under hard breaking it would pull to the right.
