2011 Honda Accord Coupe Automatic

At 130,000 kms (80,000 miles) the front axle suffered a bearing failure (both left and right sides!) resulting in heavy vibration above 90km/hour. Although past warranty Honda Canada agreed to supply parts at N/C but I was on the hook for labour = $1,000+

Now at 225,000 kms (140,000 miles) the front axle has AGAIN suffered a bearing failure (right side only this time). Note only 95,000 kms on new axle!

Honda Canada told me "so sad, too bad" this time around. This is a $2,000+ repair and needless to say I'm not happy! I expect to change transmission oil every 100,000 kms - not also replace the axles!

MY QUESTION IS >>> has anyone else experienced bearing failure in their front axle and did Honda own up to it? I don't know if this is this bad design affecting many coupes, or am I just one unlucky Honda owner to have this happen twice?
