Hello guys. It seems I am having an issue with my rear driver side brake. It is burning through pads literally bi-weekly. I finally broke down and replace the calipers, rotors, pads, hoses and e-brakes (to include new cables). Well that didn't seem to work as I burn't through another set of pads on that side and I am down to the metal noise maker. Can anyone throw any suggestions my way before I take it back to the dealer for another go over?

Sounds like your rear calipers are getting stuck in the brake position and applying the brakes when you are going forward! You should have a dealer check the master cylinder and other brake components.

I have seen a problem where the rust on the brake pad carrier is enough to make the brake pads too tight, and so they bind.
I have also seen some brake pads where the ears of the pads are slightly oversized and they too will bind in the brake pad carrier.
To test for binding, remove the brake pad carrier from the car, and with the shiny steel guides in place, put one brake pad in the carrier and make sure it can travel the full width of the guides without binding.

Sounds like a plan. I dropped it off at Acura. They already replaced everything with the exception of the master cylinder and the fluid reservoir. I guess it would be the last brake part to replace in the entire car.
