AT 90,000 CAR SHOOK AND WAS MISFIRING. CODES PULLED WERE P301 AND 304. SPARK PLUGS 1-4 WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 13-078 WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS ON ENGINE MISFIRES. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE PISTONS AND THE PISTON RINGS WERE NOT INSPECTED AT THAT TIME. WHY NOT? WHO KNOWS WHAT CONDITION THEY WERE IN? THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US WITH SPARK PLUGS AS BAND-AIDS! IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 103,000 MILES (WHICH WE PAID FOR) AND NOW AT 128,000 THE DEALERSHIP SAYS WE NEED A COMPLETE LOWER ENGINE REBUILD TO REPLACE PISTONS 1-3. OF COURSE AS A 2008, EVEN THOUGH LOW MILES, IT'S OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. I THOUGHT IN BUYING AN ACCORD, I COULD DRIVE IT FOR AT LEAST 150,000- AT LEAST! I WOULD LIKE THE WARRANTY FURTHER EXTENDED, OR AT LEAST FOR AMERICAN HONDA CORP TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS AS IT'S ONLY 3,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE ORIGINAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 125,000. IF HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS PARTICULAR V6 VTEC ENGINE, WHY DOES THE WARRANTY EXPIRE? SHOULDN'T THERE BE A GRACE PERIOD OR A COMPROMISE? WE ARE GETTING PUNISHED FOR CARING FOR OUR CAR AND HAVING LOW MILES ON IT. MANY FOLKS BENEFITTED FROM THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEIR CARS FAILED WITHIN THE 8 YEAR TIME FRAME BECAUSE THEY HAD HIGH MILES- HIGHER THAN OURS! WHAT ABOUT THOSE 08 ACCORDS THAT ARE STILL FAILING OUTSIDE OF THE 8 YEAR MARK THAT HAVE LOWER MILES THAN THE ONES HONDA COVERED UNDER WARRANTY??? C'MON AMERICAN HONDA, TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS! I HAVE PURCHASED 6 HONDAS IN MY LIFETIME AND AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AT MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER WITH AN EXTENSIVE SERVICE HISTORY. ON THIS CAR ALONE I'VE PURCHASED NEW BRAKES, NEW STARTER, NEW ALTERNATOR, DRIVE TRAIN BELTS, WATER PUMP, NEW VTEC SPOOL VALVES, VTEC SOLENOID, AND EVERY SERVICE AS RECOMMENDED BY- AT THE DEALERSHIP- AND MY ACCORD ONLY LASTED 128,000? HOW?

TERRIBLE GAS MILAGE AND MASSIVE OIL BURNING. TOOK IT INTO O'HARE HONDA WHO REPLACED 2 OIL PRESSURE SWITCHES AFTER THEY UPDATED THE VCM SOFTWARE. I ALSO HAD OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORING DONE AND WAS TOLD MY CAR DOESN'T BURN ENOUGH OIL. IT WAS MONITORED TO BURN 9/10THS A QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO BURN AT LEAST A FULL QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR HONDA TO OFFER AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. FOR THE LAST 2 TO 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ADDING 2-3 QUARTS EVERY OIL CHANGE AND I USED TO GET 4000-6000 MILES PER OIL CHANGE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED (CPO). WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I MADE CLAIMS TO HONDA AND THEY WOULD TELL ME I AM USING THE WRONG OIL. THE DEALER VALLEY HONDA WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO PUT THE SAME QUALITY OIL INTO THE CAR AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY SERVICED BY THEM AND THE ONLY OIL TO PUT IN THE CAR WAS FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20 AND THAT IS ALL IT HAS EVER HAD. PLEASE NOTE OIL CHANGES EVERY 4K TO 6K MILES AT 80 DOLLARS EACH SEEMED GOOD, BUT NOW IT'S EVERY 2K TO 3K MILES AT THE SAME PRICE NOT TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL QUARTS AT 10 DOLLARS EACH COSTING ME AN ADDITIONAL 20 TO 30 DOLLARS EACH OIL CHANGE AND I AM AVERAGING 13 TO 17 MILES PER GALLON CITY/HIGHWAY COMBINED A FAR CRY FROM THE ORIGINAL 19 TO 29 MILES PER GALLON PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVED AS PROMISED. ALL SERVICES DONE TO THE VEHICLE INCLUDE: TIMING BELT REPLACED, OIL PRESSURE SWITCHES REPLACED, FLUID SERVICED AND FLUSHED; BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, COOLANT SYSTEM ALL OF THESE WERE DONE ON THE SAME DAY, WITH A HEAVY BILL OF 1300 DOLLARS. TIMING WAS DONE BECAUSE THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 100K MILES AND IT WAS REQUIRED. CURRENTLY I HAVE 133K MILES MY 2008 ACCORD EX-L V6 NAVI.

TAKATA RECALL: I INHERITED THIS CAR IN JUNE AND I BROUGHT IT TO HUNTINGTON HONDA TO TO BE SURE THAT ALL WAS IN ORDER, AS I WAS INTENDING TO DRIVE THE CAR FROM NEW YORK TO LOUISIANA AT THE END OF THE SUMMER TO GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO LIVES THERE. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR, DARRELL RAEBURN, IF THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE CAR. HE WASN'T SURE, BUT AFTER CHECKING WITH SOMEONE ELSE, HE SAID YES, THERE WAS BOTH A SOFTWARE AND A HARDWARE RECALL. THEY PERFORMED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE AT THAT TIME, AND HE SAID THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR SHOULD BE IN IN JULY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS WEEK TO ASK THE STATUS. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I SAID THAT WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TOLD, AFTER WHICH I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE DUE IN THE NEXT DAY, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WASN'T A RECALL THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY (JULY 28), BUT WHEN I GOT THERE, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR (DAVE?) THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CAR AND NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I JUST SPOKE ON THE PHONE WITH CRAIG SCELVA, WHO IS SOME TYPE OF TOP SERVICE MANAGER. ASIDE FROM MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CONFUSING INFORMATION AND WASTED TIME TODAY, I ASKED HIM WHAT THE REAL STORY IS REGARDING THE CAR AND AIRBAG RECALL. HE SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY NOT A RECALL, THAT ONLY IF THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON IS THERE A RECALL. YET (AS I TOLD HIM), WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE HTTP://HONDAAIRBAGINFO.COM WEBSITE, THE RESULT IS THAT THERE IS A RECALL, NUMBER 16V-056, TO REPLACE THE SRS ECU, WHICH MAY CORRODE AND FAIL (THOUGH IT SAYS THAT IF THE UNIT FAILS THE WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON). SO AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ABOUT THE RECALL STATUS, & I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONFUSION, OBFUSCATION, OR LIES WHICH I HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY PEOPLE AT HUNTINGTON HONDA.

I PURCHASED THIS HONDA ACCORD FROM AUTOMAXX OF SUMMERVILLE IN GOOD FAITH FROM DEALER STATING THAT VEHICLE PASSED ALL THEIR INSPECTIONS (INCLUDING BRAKE SYSTEM). I FOUND OUT WITHIN 2 WEEKS LATER BY TAKING IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THAT THE BRAKES, BRAKE LINES, CALIPER, EXHAUST SYSTEM ARE ALL AFFECTED BY SEVERE, DAMAGING RUST. DURING INSPECTION, INCLUSIVE WERE STICKING CALIPER. I HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED; BUT DUE TO RUST, TECHNICIAN HAD TO BAM & FORCE BRAKES LOSE. I WAS INFORMED OF THE RISKS WITH SEVERE RUSTING CAUSING PARTS TO BRAKE AND FAIL. NEW BRAKES WOULD NOT INSTALL PROPERLY AFTER OLD, SEATED BRAKES CAME OFF. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STOPPING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES NOISE, AND SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING COMING APART DUE TO THE INSECURE FITTING OF BRAKES/ROTORS/CALIPERS, WHICH ALL HAVE A GREAT BUILD UP OF RUST. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO IN THESE CONDITIONS. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO SELL SUCH VEHICLES THAT POSE SAFETY RISK IN BRAKE SYSTEM. HONDA INSPECTION SUGGESTED THAT RUST WAS SO SEVERE THAT CAR COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN DAMAGED BY SALT WATER/SNOW/ICE OR FLOOD. CAR ORIGINATED FROM UP NORTH. RE-SALE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

MY FIANCE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL TO TAKE OUR DAUGHTER TO THE ER. I PULLED IN A PARKING SPOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE IGNITION AND WHEN MY BOYFRIEND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT JUST HIM SHUTTING THE DOOR. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT NOT ALL INS COMPANIES WILL PAY FOR THIS AND HONDA IS NOT PAYING FOR IT EITHER. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO COME BACK IN THE MORNING AND SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS AS THIS IS NOT MY FAULT BUT A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. *TR

THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE PREVIOUS BRAKE PADS WERE INFERIOR.

WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AND POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE 2008 HONDA ACCORDS. 2 REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. ONE REPAIR REQUIRED AT 1.3 YEARS OLD SECOND AT 2.7 YEARS OLD. TOTAL FAILURE IN A QUICK STOPPING SITUATION IS POSSIBLE. I FOR ONE DO NOT WANT TO FIND THIS OUT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND FORCE THEM TO ADDRESS AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. OVER 1100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON CAR BEEF.COM ARE WE GOING TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED? DEALER REPAIRED 2 TIMES AT MY EXPENSE. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT CORRECT PERMANANTLY. EXCESSIVE REPAIRS BILLS CHARGED TO ALL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR
