Stop riding the brakes so hard/or for longer periods of time. Try and do braking up hills as it is less of a load for them. Buy some axxiss metal masters...harsh pads but I love them on my accord. Fade is non-existant.

ya, how do you know they are over-heating? If they smell then you need to learn how to drive because you are WAY to hard on the brakes and/or car.

U need to get that checked. Your car is new and the brakes should be fine. How many miles on the brakes?

Sounds like warped rotors. Time to go see the dealer.

He is right. Your rotors are warped... They are not overheating. You need to take it to the dealer and get them resurfaced...

There is no need for a break upgrade. Just take the care to the dealer and they will fix it under warranty. It will be just like new...

Cross drilled/slotted rotors might help little.
