2008 HONDA Accord

My 2008 Honda Accord is burning oil too frequently. I used to have my oil changed every 4-5 months or at around 5,000 miles. Now I am adding oil every 1000 to 2000 miles.

The burns approximately 2+ quarts of oil every ~3000 miles

Honda did the oil consumption test on my car and determined that it qualified as it uses approximately 1qt of oil every 1,000 miles. I have received an estimate but have not had the repair completed yet.

I am writing regarding my vehicle (1HGCP268X8A003688) and the Warranty Extension re: Sticking Piston Rings Resulting in High Engine Oil Consumption.

Earlier this week, this vehicle was finally diagnosed as experiencing high oil consumption as described in your Warranty Extension notice. Despite having taken my vehicle to a dealership for this issue in spring of 2016, the time during which the warranty would have fully covered this repair, the vehicle was not diagnosed and a repair was not made. The problem has since only worsened and because the dealership did not diagnose the issue properly at the initial appointment, my vehicle is no longer eligible for this warranty due to it now having been 9 years since I purchased my vehicle. For what it is worth, my vehicle also only has 105,000 miles and would still qualify under the mileage warranty.

I am requesting that this repair be completed under warranty, as originally intended and as should have been done. As a loyal and long-time Honda customer whose family has owned multiple Accords and Civics, I would hope that the courtesy would be extended in this situation.

Metallic grey paint and sealer peeling from car on hood and trunk.Starts out as a small discoloration and grows in size then peels away down to the primer. Now has many small circles of discoloration which will eventually become larger and peel away exposing the primer under neath.

We are experiencing excessive oil consumption on less that 80,000 miles. Being told by service people that my car is \"old\", to come back and see them in 1000 miles (1 come back already made, after that the car burned 2 quarts of oil on an extended trip.

I\'ve owned this Accord since January 2014, and I\'ve had to continuously add oil to it. It averages out to need a quart every 2-3 weeks and that has ALWAYS been my problem with my car. I clock my mileage after every oil change and currently its been 2340 miles since changing my oil and I\'ve already had to put 2 quarts of oil in it. I\'ve been looking around and seeing I\'m not the only one having this problem, but having a 4 cylinder engine, I see I am not covered in this Class Action Lawsuit.

I was willing to deal with always having a 5 quart bottle of oil in my trunk to keep from seeing that red oil light, or prevent from hearing that rattling sound when going from first to second gear, but I\'m pissed off at Honda now that my car cant even go past 30 mph!! My check engine light began blinking, so I knew I was in trouble. I began reading about similar complaints regarding similar Honda models drinking oil, and the possibility for my potential repairs to be covered under some class action suit so I took it to the dealership.

The dealership read the codes and said it\'s a cylinder 2 and 3 misfire, but dismissed my oil consumption claims as oil leaks. I told them my car doesn\'t \"leak\" oil, it \"drinks\" it and it has been something I\'ve had to deal with since purchasing the car.

Engine knocking and burning excessive oil. Problem with pistols, and spark plugs etc.

My 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6 NAVI, is basically an Acura TL in a Honda Accord, therefore I truly love the car. My greatest upset is the terrible gas milage and massive oil burning. I took it into O\'Hare Honda who replaced 2 oil pressure switches in 2016 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 its 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 25 to 30 miles per gallon previously achieved as promised.

ALL services done to the vehicle include timing belt replaced, oil pump replaced, oil pressure switches replaced, Brake fluid service and flushed, Transmission fluid service and flushed, Power Steering System service and flush, Coolant System Service and Flushed 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. Anyone who gets their timing belt replaced, note they will replace water pump and flush coolant system as a requirement. Currently my Honda Accord has 133k miles and is very is in mint condition for the being almost 10 years old and I was planning to keep it for as long as it runs but not if my engine problems persist. I truly wish Honda had done better by me and others, seeing how they replaced the engines in the TL but not the Accord.

The only other issue is my heated mirrors don\'t work and I was told this has to do with some door not opening in the ventilation system which allows for the the proper resistance to be met to allow them to operate. Just another Honda Dealer lie so they don\'t have to replace the mirrors. I had a Honda Care Warranty until 125K miles and it has since expired. To get another warranty the Dealer wanted $2500 and I said, \" I don\'t think so\". Thank you, but now thanks.

burning excessive oil for a V4 engine. Oil light comes on approx. every 2700 miles driven. Honda Service does not think this is excessive.

rear brake are worn down faster than front. Rotor need to be resurfaced/replaced quicker than the standard time, electrical failure recall with pistons. Left driver and left rear actuator malfunctioned before 50k miles

Excessive oil consumption

Engine is requiring a tremendous amount of oil between changes. It has thrown a code on several occasions and been critically low without a low oil indicator. Instead, the code illuminates the CES light. Had I not investigated the P3400 and P3497 codes stored and then checked the oil, the engine may have been severely damaged. Please see excerpt below describing issue in greater detail.

\"Honda TSB 11-033 identifies 20082011 applications with specific VIN codes that may encounter excessive oil consumption in addition to an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and trouble codes P3400 and/or P3497 stored in memory. These codes set when the oil level drops to a level where the line pressure can no longer support Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) operation. During light throttle conditions on flat roads at cruising speeds, the VCM function may repeatedly switch on and off. The frequent switching can contribute to increased oil consumption. Honda has a software update that improves the VCM timing during the mentioned throttle conditions, reducing oil consumption.\"

To whom it may concern,

I have noticed that my 2008 Honda Accord (VN 1HGCP26328A156599) has been consuming plenty of oil. After reading about the millions of complaints I decided to ask how can I get my car fixed by the local dealer. Two of my friends, personal and mechanics at the Honda dealer have said I should contact the Corporate Company and ask for the recall issue.
I have also followed the instructions from the site (http://www.hondaproblems.com/trends/excessive-oil-consumption/).
I hope this letter will help me with my favorite auto company.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 516.643.8596 or via email [email protected].

TPMS light stays on even after deal replaced all tires and supposedly checked on this condition. This 4th time going back to dealer with this issue. All maintenance has been via dealer.

vehicle just started using oil, checked yesterday, down 2 quarts, my 2001 Impala and 2002 Suburban don\'t burn a drop

LOSING BRAKING POWER AND PEDAL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY CONTINUALLY GETTING AIR IN BRAKE LINES FROM FAULTY ABS VSA MOBULAR PUMP

Passenger side airbags went off closing the door.

high oil consumption caused engine to seize…..no warning lights….oil life showed 40%

I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L which I bought new 4.2 engine. After my last oil change I checked the oil after driving 1000 miles and found the oil to be over 2 quarts low, I replaced the missing oil and checked it again at about 600 miles and it was over a quart low. I have the oil and filter changed ever 5000 miles. The car now has 153000 miles on it. How can this be fixed?

My issues are high oil consumption noise when car starts cold. I have had the issue 3 times. First 2 time it was covered under warranty, Honda knows about the issue and issued customers a extended warranty but the issue has occurred again and my car is out of warranty. Which means the repair is only a bandage not a solution. I think another class action she be brought against Honda again to make them fix the issue right.

Oil burning.

I was 6 months passed the 8 year extension of the piston ring warranty extension and Honda will not take responsibility for a defect in their engin. At roughly 75000 miles, this should not happen and Honda should step up and fix a issues they have already agreed to fix. I was never informed of the original class action or given information on the extension or informed by the Honda dealership on numerous visits to the shop for oil changes and regular maintenance.

Paint is peeling on the top and the mirrors. Original paint should last more then 7 years.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. At LEAST 2 qts per 1500 miles. Started having trouble early summer, or spring, and quickly worsening.

Not till recently has my oil levels drop. Between oil changes I am almost down to zero oil left. I am forced to top off between oil changes several times and up to 5 quarts. I\'ve maintained my car very well and it has only recently started burning oil. I contacted Honda and was advised the settlement warranty extension expired for me 3 months prior. If I paid for a diagnostics from Honda, they would review my case, but because of the high mileage on the vehicle, it wasn\'t likely. Its just frustrating as a consumer that has taken exceptional good care of their vehicle, I prolonged an issue that would have been covered by a settlement. To miss it by less than three months makes it a tougher pill to swallow.

1. Excessive wear of rear breaks.
2. Excessive oil consumption
3. Battery short life
4. When ignition is in the \"Radio\" position there is huge current draw, such as after 15-20 min the battery was dead and required a jump start, even if the the radio was OFF the current draw still there.

I have only gotten an estimate; I haven’t had the paint repaired. The paint started chipping away for no apparent reason this year.

The paint keeps disintegrating so soon the metal will be exposed and will rust. Amount of repaint would be $3-4,000.

I purchased new tires about a year ago. Tires had less than 30,000 on them. Back tires still had 90% tread but getting a vibration. Took car to the body shop and was told that the rear end of my vehicle was badly out of alignment.. I could see it with my naked eyes. The problem is that the rear tires can not be aligned. There is no way to adjust the camber on the back tires, so no matter what you will always have vibration and alway unevenly where your tires. Only way I can see to fix this, is to install adjustable cambers, but if this is a desig flaw and Honda already acknowledged it with a service bulletin addressing there Honda civics, then why should I have to pay for the fix. I am totally disgusted with Honda.

Honda America will not extend warranty on paint due to deadline. I never received notice although I purchased and became the registered owner before notices were mailed on 10-30-13. The quality of paint deteriorated in December 2013 and ironically I purchased this car from a dealer. The case manager sarcastically mentioned that I would not be in this predicament if I have had my vehicle serviced at a Honda dealer. They are not taking responsibilityalthough paint is defective and getting worse.

Rear brake pads worn out at 20K miles with scoring rear rotors. Ended up replacing rear rotors and break pads.

I just noticed that the paint has started peeling off on the hood of my 08 Honda Accord. I have not had a chance to check with honda regarding a fix. From what I have read Honda is not interested in taking care of the problem.

Paint has been debonded from primer,I spoke with dealership on several occasions, said they had a recall on white paint on civics for same reason but not accords, said it would not be covered. Honda America was contacted, said they would cover 60% and any glass breakage, but at $4000.00 that’s an expensive paint job and proposition for a consumer when it is due to Honda’s failure of quality controls at their plant.

What I consider a newer model at 6 years and my paint started fading in large areas on my hood trunk and roof . It looks awful and having owned many honda I know it is unusual to be losing the paint like this. it is obviously a defected paint job and although Honda has recall some paint jobs, it has not mine. I would like my car repainted by Honda

Despite the class action lawsuit, Honda still refuses to fix the problem with the premature wearing out of the rear brake pads. This forces owners into the costly expense of replacing their rear brakes very often. I have driven my car for 91,000 miles, but will have replaced the rear brakes thrice and the rear rotors twice. Clearly, Honda places corporate greed above the safety of, and responsibility to, their customers. This is a documented issue that they refuse to rectify or even acknowledge that their rear breaks are defective or inadequate. They should be utterly ashamed of themselves!!!

Brakes replaced as indicated above upon advice of service tech when replacing tires. I just had the tires rotated and was told I need new brakes yet again. The mileage on the car is 45,715. A class action suit against Honda was approved by judge – I never received notification of said suit. Obviously this is a known problem. I contacted my local Honda dealer and was basically told “too bad, so sad.” I will contact Honda USA to complain – given this is a known issue it seems to me Honda should be held responsible for replacing brakes which should last more than 20k miles.

BOLT FELL OUT OF FRONT BRAKES,DEALTER REPAIRED FREE. BATTERY WENT DEAD , PAID CASH TO REPLACE.

Weather stripping disintegrating

Rear brake pads wearing prematurely due to the Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD) System.

Brakes have a really bad vibration / pulsing when applied .

Paint has worn to the gray in two spots. Took it to honda and they said it wasn’t their problem. I haven’t tried to have it repaired yet due to cost

Only 21,000 miles on car and rear brakes had to be replaced

Accord EX: The headrest causes SEVERE and CHRONIC neck pain. To the point that I will have to sell the car and buy another make of car. I started driving everyday to work in August of 2012 (I used to take the train) and by January I was experiencing SEVERE and CHRONIC neck pain. It was debilitating. I have had an MRI, seen a Chiropractor, Orthopedic Doctor and Physical Therapist. We have finally determined that my pain is caused by the unnatural position of my head when driving my car. If I cannot find a solution I will have to sell this car (and I LOVE my car) because of a stupid headrest. AND I won’t be able to buy another Honda because they all seem to have the same stupid headrest.

Poor quality paint on vehicle. Paint has started to peel completely around the rear window edge. Grey primer is visible and it is only a matter of time before rust appears. Also, the clear coat seems to be disappearing throughout the vehicle. Some parts of the vehicle no longer have a smooth feel or shiny appearance. Vehicle has been frequently washed and waxed but the paint feels quite rough (as if the clear coat has gone away). I would imagine if the paint was a color other than white, the imperfections would be readily visible. Vehicle is starting to have a dull white appearance.

Just for clarity, I have not had this repaired yet. I just had this diagnosed. The problem was mentioned by people that were passengers in my car at different times. The car shuddered when accelerating. My mechanic just quoted $2200 for the repair assuming no other parts are needed. I want the manufacturer to contribute

Paint is peeling off near the edges of the back side mirror of my Honda Accord coupe EX. It looks like there was never a primer put on this car.

Purchased 2008 Honda Accord LX-P in 2010 from Stockton & Malone in Salt Lake City, Utah, with 28096 odometer miles.

Rear brakes grinding and failed with replacement April 20, 2010 at Larry H Miller Honda in Salt Lake City, Utah at no charge with 30112 odometer miles.

Rear brakes grinding and failed again November 1, 2111 and replaced at charge of $163.48 with 41313 odometer miles.

Front brakes grinding, glazing and had to be scraped and polished at 42914 miles. I mostly do around town driving, with occasional freeway.

From what I have researched brakes should last about 70,000 miles. As you can see I have gotten between 10,000-30,000 miles before the rear brakes failed. Front brakes are still not in tip top working order. I feel there should be a recall, improvement and compensation in the matter.

the center console fake leather bubbled up right away, and now it looks terrible and i have to keep it covered with a towel to avoid the vinyl from further ripping, i called handa cars of bradenton in Florida and they refused to do anything about it, and they told me that another customer had just had to replace theirs, so they were able to quote me the price right away.

Paint started fading and chipping-little spots here and there. I have used touch up paint to cover the small areas. Honda tells me it’s a known problem and blames me because my car is outside all the time. I had a Honda Civic for 14 years with no paint issues at all and it was outside all the time as well. CHEAP paint job. Windshield cracked 3 months after owning the car. It happened with the first cold snap. Honda said they were not responsible-yes the car was under warranty. They said I must have had a rock hit it. They refused to pay.

Driver side Lumbar is terrifble Hits the center of the back. Not the Lumbar. head rest to far forward

Rear brakes. Need to have them changed for the 4th time in less than 4 years & 50000 miles. I am aware of the class action law suit and the last time I had the rear brakes changed, I recieved $150.00 back from Honda. I was informed that the “problem” was fixed and I should not need to have them replaced as frequently but clearly that was a false statement. I went to the dealership and they offered to replace them at a discount ($144.00) but I had the distinct impression that while they are certainly aware of the problem, they had no intention of admitting fault or making it right. I am so very dissapointed in this car & wish I could let other people know the way that Honda is handeling this very serious issue. Thank you.

the car jerks into gears!

The rear brakes wear out every 8,000-10,000 miles. I bought this car brand new in 2008. This problem is a safety issue.

Premature brake and rotor wear.

2008 Honda Accord. Got only 25,000 miles. A couple of months ago, some weird noise came up and it is very annoying. I can not brake the car normally. Something is wrong with the brake system and it is very dangerous.

Our 2008 Honda Accord has premature brake wear and needs new rear brakes and front rotor repair. This problem occurred in August 2011, and the car has 37,300 miles on it. We were told of a lawsuit about this issue which will reimburse $150 of the estimated $600 repair, which is inadequate. This issue should be covered under warranty, and/or acknowledged as a defect and recalled, given the massive evidence that the brakes are faulty.

Honda Accord, 2008, Rear Brake system defective. Honda has knowledge of issue. Rear brakes on 2008-2009 accords wear our before 25K miles. Rear brakes replaced at 27K mile and now needed again at 55K miles. Honda is aware of issue with there braking system and will not recall their vehicles. They are paying for 1 time brakes as part of their class action suit, but will not fix the root cause of the issue. After the brakes are replaced 1 time it’s up to the car owner to keep paying for and replacing their brakes every 15-25K miles. This needs to be a recall issue and fixed properly, no matter what the cost to Honda. Rear brakes cannot go bad this quickly. Please check forms such as carcomplaints.com for validity of claims from many Honda Accord owners nationwide. I just want my car fixed correctly so my brakes wear normally and I’m not out hundreds of dollars every few years.

OIL CONSUMPTION

Premature failure of rear brake pads. I was told the rear brake pads are very thin and need to be replaced. I could not believe it due to the low mileage on the vehicle and the way I drive and the front brake pads are fine. This doesn’t make sense. Something is very wrong with this picture and Honda is not addressing the issue. I have not replaced the rear brake pads but I would imagine if I did replace them at the dealer it would cost at least $200 and I don’t think I should have to pay for this. Besides the fact that putting the same pads on the vehicle is not going to fix the problem.

My vehicle only has 17K miles on it, and my brakes are squealing VERY bad. it does it when I press on the brakes, and also does it while I’m on the road. It’s so loud that people on the streets and other cars are looking at me the whole time. Took it to Downtown, Los Angeles, Honda dealer and they said that they will not do anything about it. What in the world? And they were totally rude in explianing. They kept on telling me that they were busy and they told me to come back later and later. They also wanted me to pay for the brakes, and also insisted that I need to fix the scratches and some of the holes that I got on my bumper. What is this? I went in to get the prematurally wearing brakes and they are doing a horrible sale on me to get the body repairs?

Car was in park when my nephew got out of the car and shut the door harder than normal and the airbag deployed. Passenger side airbag deployed.

Visor drops abit.

premature brake wear, on rear brake pads. 25000 miles and needed to be replaced. same thing at 56000 miles. first brake job was $272. replaced brakes myself with ceramic brakes the second time for $70.

On Saturday November 28th, while driving my 2008 Honda Accord Coupe, I heard a loud screeching noise coming from my rear tires, as I applied the brakes the vehicle made a sound like it was hitting bottom. I called the Honda Service Dealer near me and scheduled a vehicle service check. On Wednesday December 1st I was advised that I needed to replace the break pads on my vehicle. The vehicle has 25,048 miles. I was suprised to see that a vehicle with such low mileage was in need of new breake pads. After further reading I found that out that there is a Honda Accord Premature Breake Wear on the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accords. I was never provide this information by the Honda Service Department (665 SW 8th Street, Miami, Florida 305-856-3000). I have taken my vehicle for service to this Honda dealer for the last three years. I can not express how upset I was when they failed to notify me of the problem and charged me $250.00 to fix it.

November, 2010; 32,000 miles; $170.37; $0 so far; 1

Premature wear of rear brakes

I have premature brake pad wear on my 2008 Honda Accord; at 25,000 miles the rear pads need replacement.

1) The transmission shifts very rough through the first 4 gears. I brought it to honda and they said this is how the car is supposed to drive. It is the roughest car I have driven/owned ever!!! My wife had an older accord and when we bought it shifted veRy rough like this and shortly after the whole transmission went out and had to be replaced.
2) The brakes are already squelling and the sterring wheel has been shaking while breaking pretty much since we bought it @ 30k miles. Not a good car at all.

WILL NO LONGER BE A LIFETIME HONDA OWNER IF HONDA DOES NOT FIX THESE PROBLEMS!!!!

The brakes didn’t really fail. They just wore out before I reached 20,000 miles and now they are worn out again at 50,000 miles.

REPAIRED ONCE WHEN VEHICLE WAS 1 YEAR OLD, NOW AGAIN 1 YEAR LATER AFTER FIRST REPAIR. SAME PROBLEM GRINDING NOISE IN BACK AND NEEDING SECOND SET OF BACK BRAKE PAD ALONG WITH ROTOR REPLACEMENT THIS TIME. TOTAL REPAIR BILL 500.00

Rear Brakes wore out at 36,000. Had to pay out of pocket to have them fixed as soon as I found out about it because I was not willing to drive around with bad brakes any longer than I already had been.

Rear brake replacement of pads and rotor replacement

rear brake pads worn out at 23,000miles and seats are horribly hard, not comfortable at all. 2008 Honda

REAR BRAKE PADS ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD HAVE TOTALLY WORN AND NEED REPLACEMENT

my brakes are vibrating roughly when I try to stop, at speeds over 30mph. with so few miles this should not be a problem.

Last July 2009, I took my car to the dealer near my house because there was a noise in the brake system which I could not pinpoint whether it is in front or at the back.. The service agent volunteered ride my car and took him for a spin. He pinpointed that the noise was coming from the back. So I bought my rear brake pads at Honda dealer for $84.38 a pair. The honda salesman also admitted that the rear brake pads wears off easily. I replaced the rear brake pad all by myself. After I drove for 1800 km for our long trip, the front wheel bearing created a humming noise (airplane noise) which I don’t know where it was coming from at that time. My car is only 58000km. I took the car to the dealer where I got the car and the Manager told me to pay $50.00 for inspection fee. If it is bearing issue, then I won’t pay for anything because it is covered by warranty. I hessitated because I am not sure what the problem is. I pulled out the car from the dealer and went home. After a year, the noise became louder starting at 50 km per hour so, I did some research at youtube and found out that it is the bearing that causing the noise. I also double checked it based on the intruction of the mechanic at youtube. At this point, I have reasonable ground to believe that it is the bearing that is causing the noise. Just to be 100% sure, I took it to my friend mechanic for a drive test and finally to his expert friend (front end) who took my car for a drive test too. The verdict is the front right bearing that was damaged. My Honda Accord is now 70000km I took it to the service center and they replaced it for free after 2 failed attempts to have it fix for free to the dealer. I don’t want to elaborate anymore about the incompetence of one honda service agent and the greedy honda service agent at another location who was over charging me for the work order. After the front bearing got replaced, I found out from the new service agent that Honda accepted application for reimbursement for the premature wear of the rear brakes but only up to July 5, 2010. Now it is Dec. 9, 2010 and it is over. They did not send any notice for the reimbursement nor the notice to replace the rear break pads. Despite that, the tel. agent at 1800 number declined my request for reimbursement. What will I do now?

Brakes pads worn and pedal goes to floor deal will replace for $250

Rear brakes wear out after just 20,000 miles. Rotors need to be resurfaced as well. Needs recall. Honda will only re-emburse $150 worth of repair. Very disappointed with Honda.

PURCHASED A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD AND AT 11,000 MILES HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES LIKE METAL TO METAL SOUND. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED DUE TO LOW MILEAGE ON THE CAR. THEY ACTUALLY DIDN’T CHARGE FOR THE RESURFACE AND WE THOUGHT THAT SINCE WE DON’T DRIVE THE CAR ALOT MAYBE THIS WAS CORRECT THAT IT HAPPENED DUE TO THE CAR NOT BEING DRIVEN MUCH. OKAY, NOW ON TODAYS DATE(10-11-10) WENT ON A 1,000 MILE TRIP, TOOK THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND FOUND THE LAWSUIT ON THE REAR BRAKES AND HERE WE GO AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME WAS TOLD THE FRONT ROTORS NEED RESURFACING……………………THE CAR ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT. MY OPINION IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND EVENTUALLY THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

I went to get an oil change and tire rotation. After only 20,000 miles, the mechanic said I would need to repair the rear brake pads. He showed me the difference between the front and rear. The difference was very noticeable.

I have a Honda Accord V6 with 18000 miles on it when I took it to get serviced at the Honda dealership on October 2009. At that time I was made aware that I had premature brake wear. The front brakes were fine. The bakes were repaired, and I was responsible for half the cost which came to be 123.00 dollars. At this time, the manager of the Marlton Honda dealership told me that he did received a notice from Honda stating that Honda is aware of this premature wearing of the rear brakes but they will only pay for half the cost to repair the problem only up to 20000 miles.

Front brake rotors warped at 10000 miles. Honda dealer turned rotors on warrenty plan. Brakes have began to squeak at some point. This problem persists.

As A/C compressor cycles on, all lights dim substantially, even at highway speeds. Oncoming cars flash lights as they think I am flashing at them. Cars behind flash also as they think we are on and off brakes every 15-30 seconds. Honda says it is “normal”. Dealers indicate that the problem is widespread and cannot be fixed until Honda develops the fix. Honda is reportedly working on a fix but no dates or other information is given. Problem only affects 4 cylinder Accords – V6’s are OK. Problem is likely in ELD system – load monitor that signals ECU to signal alternator to high output when electrical load is high. If you Google “2008 Accord headlight dimming” or “flicker” or check NHTSA website for 2008 Accord problems, you will find numerous reports.I have sent Honda “Final Repair Attempt” notification under Georgia Lemon Law. Awaiting response.

1st set of rear brake pads needed replacement at 22,000 miles. 2nd set of pads required at 38,500 miles.

We brought in our 2008 Honda Accord to our local dealership on 10/08/10 to address an intermittant loud noise coming from the rear axle. The dealership stated that the rear brakes needed to replaced $263.99. I agreed to have them replaced. I took the vehicle in on 10/09/10 becuase the brakes were squeeking. The dealership resurfaced the rotors at thier cost. Took the car in on 10/13/10 to adress a loud thumping noise when using the brakes. The dealership took a look the brakes and determined that the rotors needed to be replaced. They determined that the rotors were worn and would need to be replaced for an additional $148.28.

THERE IS VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING; FRONT ROTORS WARPED AND PADS AT 7 MM

The front brakes are squealing furiously only after 2 months I bought the car and the dealership won’t do anything bout it. the rear pads are completely worn down only after 20k miles.

Rear brakes on 2008 & 2009 Accords are wearing out long before they should Front brakes are fine.Honda aware of problem but not doing anything about it, I feel it is a safety issue..if your rear brakes are worn down and you make fast stop you won’t get the full affect of the brakes because they are not 100%…Yes they will make noise when they are really bad but people would not pay attention to this. This my 7th Honda never had any problem like this.

Rear brake started to make a loud noise.

Premature brake wear

Premature brake wear.

Premature brake wear. Took vehicle in for service at dealership and was told the rear brakes were 90% worn and needed replacement. Was told this repair was not covered by warranty even though it was not normal for rear brakes to wear this much at this mileage. I’ve had 5 Honda/Acura vehicles and this has never happened before.

Occasional grinding sounds driving down the road. Sound is related to foot touching the brake also.

My automobile undercarrige and underneath the front bumper scraps the ground when going up inclines such as drive ways etc. with speeds less than 8 mph. Honda agreed to pay for the repairs that were to the bottom section of my front bumper. However, they said this was a one time good faith effort. Unfortunately, the car continues to scrap the undercarrige when going up normal driveway inclines, and Honda states it is not a warranty matter. Honda stated that the car was manufactured according to specifications and there is nothing that they are liable for with respect to future damages to my car. I disagree with their claim and I would like them to repurchase the car that I bought in good faith, and did not expect to have a car with such low ground clearance. If I would have know this prior to purchasing, I would not have done so. There are no such warnings of low clearance in the service manual and no one from the dealership or Honda corporate acknowledges the scraping matter as an issue. Please assist me in resolving this matter. I have documents of letters sent to Honda and pictures of the reoccuring damages that I can send you if you decide to take this matter into consideration.

Left rear tire starts to make screeching, loud noise when brakes are hit. They are non-responsive.

I was told that the rear brakes were beyond tolerance and that they would have to be replaced. I am not a heavy brake user (20,000+ of my miles are highway), and I have never had the rear brakes on any car I’ve ever owned (1 Triumph, 1 Plymouth, 2 Chevys, and 9 Fords before this Honda) go bad before the front brakes.

I was hearing a lot noise coming from my car and I wasn’t sure what it was. I took it to a Honda dealership and they informed me that my rear brakes were bad. They also told me there was a class action lawsuit out about these brakes. I would like more information on this and I want to know who to contact about being reimbursed.

I was driving with my wife to the store I was passing cars and the accelerator got stuck I took my foot off the gas and applied brakes but it didn’t do anything so my wife put the car on neutral and the car was still reving up. This happened on March 21, 2010 still waiting on Honda to do something while the car sits in the garage.

i had to replace rear and front pads and all rotors resurfaced after only owning the car for nine months. I had only put 9,000 miles on the car when i had these problems with the brakes. i was not aware of any problems with the brakes until the service mgr told me that the brakes in this car were wearing out more than twice as fast as they should. i was then informed of the defective design of these brakes and rotors

I brought my car in for an oil change and tire rotation. My mechanic called and said a few more stops and my rear brakes were down to medal.

Having problem during cold start even during summer time if the car park overnight. It’s take to long to start or sometime the engine just when off still can fine the problem that cost it.

Was told in letter that the 2008 honda accord has a recalled airbag that could kill or seriously injur you and your passengers. called friendly honda of poughkeepsie, ny and they are not giving any appointments for over a week. they are not giving a loaner car until a week. i am concerned that they are not having this car brought in immediately. waiting for a week for a serious recall to me is dangerous. i pointed this out and there was no change in the date.

Received recall notice july 19, 2016. part to correct problem still not available. recall notice advises not to allow rider in passenger seat. this is a business vehicle, used to carry multiple people. it is necessary to carry passengers, or vehicle is useless to us.

Car rattles from cold starts. honda dealership notified but cannot replicate, because it was driven there. took honda many years to release a service bulletin, but what about us that are out of your warranty? called honda customer service, and even though the bulletin reads all 2008 accords, they keep repeating vin specific. case #05211326. honda step up and fix your mistakes. the date is incorrect, it has been going on for a while, did not save the date.

Taka recall, my car has had the frontal passenger airbag on recall now for the better part of a year. i am not able to have a passenger in that seat and honda is not available to provide me a replacement airbag to be installed. it was promised to be provided in the summer or fall and here we are almost in november and my car is practically useless. is there no requirements for them to either make the part available quicker or a loaner?

While driving, oil light flickered, upon investigation noticed car had lost 3 quarts of oil . i had noticed a momentary rattle upon start up of engine that went away quickly. honda stated they needed to replace the vtc actuator(o rings, head gasket, timing chain, cylinder repair) before they could do an oil consumption test. upon research which indicates the actuator is an issue and they refuse to take responsibility . honda did not want to service it under a recall notice.

Vsa brake and abs light come on and off intermittently. braking test with lights on show abs does not work. numerous complaints on web sites about moisture entering the control module. no response from honda other than replace the $1200.00 module.

We took the car in on 7-27-16 for three recalls, one was performed. at this time we are told no passengers in the passenger front seat. we were told the parts will be in 2-3 weeks, it's been almost two months. we cannot get any response from rock honda in fontana, ca. i called american honda - customer service. they informed the next update will ne in late fall 2016 - possible the end of december 2016. we cannot sell or trade this car in - we purchase brand new in 2008. it has been well kept and know we unable to use as intended. who wants to ride in the back seat when only two persons in the car. this is embarrassing we have left the car parked more than used. one of the recalls is if you slam the doors when engine is on the air bags can deploy. the other is if air bag deploys it may cause metal fragments to injury persons in car. this is out 4th honda - we own a 2016 pilot now, just traded a 2011 honda crv. had a 2009 accord we traded for the 2008 accord we have now. really disappointed with the fact we cannot fully use or trade/sell this vehicle.

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.

I had to crashes and noone of the two accidents the air bags came out the supension dont know what itsactaly happen its really damage.and also the brakes of the car

I hear a grinding sound every time i brake. i saw that honda settle a class action lawsuit regarding replacing or reimbursing for brake pads that wore out twice as fast. but i called honda and they told me my car was not covered by this. i have a proximately 54,000 miles on my vehicle. secondly, my vehicle vibrates or shakes a bit at higher speeds of 65 mph and above on the highway. not sure if this is a common problem or should be addressed by honda. finally, i develop backaches due to the discomfort of the seats which i suspect are not correctly or ergonomically designed. after about 30 to 40 minutes of driving i experience lower back pain which i normally never have. this dissuades me from driving for much longer distances as i remain stiff and need to rest in order to recover from the back pain after driving the vehicle.

Passenger side air bags deployed after child exited vehicle and closed door. vehicle was parked and running. child closed door with more force than normal.

Defective vtc actuaftor. honda & dealer knew by 2011 that the part was defective and defectively designed, and should have recalled it. now, in spite of being "out of warranty," they should replace or reimburse. i did replace and am seeking reimbursement, so far denied.

The vtc actuator needed to be replaced. the mechanic explained that it was not merely defective, but was a design defect, for which there had been recalls for other/later models years. i confirmed this with a google search. i was told that, were the part not replaced, the damage could be catastrophic. cost - over $600. i complained to honda of america, and sought reimbursement. they denied it, saying it was out of warranty. car has about 88,000 miles and warranty was for 5 years and 30,000 miles. however, honda of america representative said he would sue honda if it were him. i should receive reimbursement, and there should be recall on this part.

The front headrests are unbearably uncomfortable because they stick so far forward that they give you a neck ache. we had to turn ours around in order to be able to stand driving the car or being a passenger. also, the power adjustable seat on the driver's side is designed so that you can't adjust the front of the seat low enough to take pressure off the back of your thighs. the seat padding also comes up too much on each side of your body causing hip pain. in order to try and be comfortable you have to try and put the seat back, but the back of the seat is poorly designed too. there's just no comfortable position with this seat!!!!!!! this seat needs to be recalled and another more comfortable one installed instead...both driver and passenger side. my 1999 accord has a super comfortable seat and head rest...why did they do such a bad thing in changing the design so drastically. i know i'm not the only one who is complaining about this..it's all over the internet. if i had known about this problem i wouldn't have bought the car, but only for that reason. other than that, it's a really nice model. somebody help me!!!

2008 honda accord issues, spark plugs, battery light, and traction light indicator turn on and engine pulsates and stutters, door lock actuator fail before 50k in both driver door and rear driver side. brake rotors are worn down very easily and rear pad wear down faster than front with uneven wear.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving 65 mph, the engine began to rev excessively and the vehicle jerked. the vehicle was towed to the contact's home. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the cam shaft position sensor failed due to the timing chain being defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 119,000.

Excessive engine oil consumption for the past three years. this is a known issue.

Transmission stalling.

I bought a used honda accord lx sedan with 55000 miles afterwards i searched for recalls and i had 3 2 for air bags 1 for nose mask but nose mask didn't come on car. i called my local honda dealer for an appointment april 24 2017 i came in at 815am they said they completed the 2 air bag recalls at 1pm my problem is the next day i looked up my vin to search to see if my recalls were gone and every website i typed my vin in still says my recalls are due? i recheck today april 26th and it still says i have open recalls why hasn't it updated if on the website it says it's updated but honda dealer repaired it 2 days ago ?

Takata recall - honda sent a notice indicating that the passanger airbag recall repair would take approximately 45 minutes to complete. local dealerships are stating the repair takes 5-6 hours. honda is not offering owners any alternative transporation (i.e. rental vehicles). bbb has several complaints filed by frustrated customers to this end. honda needs to incur all reasonable expenses to make these vehicles safe for consumers.

"takata recall" - honda mailed a notice of an important safety recall to have the passenger airbag inflator replaced. the letter states that it takes approximately 45 minutes to have this repair performed; however, my nearest honda dealer stated this repair would take 5-6 hours. owners are then forced to find means to perform their daily commute without their vehicle, which should not be the owner's responsibility to finance.

Takata recall--m y husbands honda accord 2008 was involved in an accident on january 16, 2013. the accident happened in somerset county nj. he was hit head on by a drunk driver while driving on a local road on his way home from work. he was killed instantly, my daughter suffered numerous injuries. this accident happened just prior to the first announcement if takata airbags. since then there have been numerous recalls - it was not until just recently my husbands vehicle was actually recalled. when i was given my husbands belongings g there were numerous pieces of large plastic pieces lodged inside his briefcase which was in the vehicle with him. he died instantly of blunt force trauma to the chest- his heart exploded due to the force of the airbag. we never received any recall notices on his vehicle- i only found out because i have been checking consistently on the recalls.

From reading online, it appears i'm one of many who have a vtc actuator issue. honda service people never know what i'm talking about even though it's in a bulletin 09-010 from honda. engine has loud cough sound upon starting the car, after being off for 6 hours or so. this should be part of a recall & customers shouldn't be charged for this but that's obviously what they want to do to us.

My airbag light remained on so i got a diagnostic test from pohanka honda. this occurred before the srs recall was issued. honda said i needed to replace my srs unit along with my gauge control module because they didn't communicate with one another. honda was going to complete the repair & labor for $1,200. i didn't have the money but was concerned for my family safety so i ordered the parts and got it repaired outside the dealership. here's the issue, i was seeking reimbursement for parts ($500) but honda manufacture only willing to reimburse me for just the srs unit ($200) and not the gauge control module ($300). i believe the recall should also cover the gauge control module since the code that was discovered by the honda technician revealed the gauge control module had to be replaced as well. since i followed guidance by pohanka honda, i'm without $300 because the recall only covered the srs unit. if pohanka honda would have completed the repair for $1,200, honda manufacture would have reimbursed me for $1,200. i believe i'm being penalized because the gauge control module isn't covered under the recall.

3.5 v-6 engine rattling loudly

Takata recall - received a letter approximately 7 months ago informing me of the airbag recall affecting my vehicle. the letter stated that the replacement part was unavailable at that time, but i would be contacted at a later date when it is available. as of march 27th, i have not received any further communication. the "safercar.gov" website says "recall incomplete. remedy not yet available", and a search on the official honda website says that there is "no open recall", so i am unable to replace the airbag. i know that this airbag is faulty and dangerous and i would like to get this fixed asap, but there has been a serious lack of communication on the manufacturers end regarding how to fix this issue and/or how long i have to wait for this repair.

This is my second complaint about the oil consumption extended warranty. this issue began a year ago. on 8/15/2015, honda offered and extended warranty for the piston/vct issue that caused the car to consume too much oil. the extended warranty says.."if the vehicle is experiencing high oil consumption, contact any authorized honda dealer for and appointment to have it insepected and, if needed repaired. please plan to leave your vehicle at the dealer for two full days to allow them flexibility in scheduling." this quote is right from the warranty. a year later and honda will not honor this warranty. what they do is make the car have a oil consumption test. if the car is not burning more than a quart in 1000 miles they say its not a problem. honda mall of georgia claimed my car is burning 3/4 of a quart therefore this is not a problem. around 7/1/2016, i had my oil changed at gwinnett place honda. i am 1000 miles away from having my next oil change and the "grinding" noise hit my car again. my oil light came on. i checked and was down to 2quarts of oil. i had to add two quarts. bringing car in today 9/7/2016 to start yet another oil consumption test. honda knows this is an issue, yet will not honor the warranrty!!!!! they extended the warranty to get nhtsa off of its back yet writes unwritten rules that protects them from fixing the issue. the extended warranty is useless unless they fix the issue.

Takata inflator: "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed." i received the recall notice (16v-346) in july 2016, and as if september 1, 2016, the status was "recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available." it is unfair that honda owners must avoid the front passenger seat of the vehicle for months, and remain uncompensated by the manufacturer. my family had to take a much less fuel-efficient vehicle on two already-planned trips (easton, pa, to erie, pa; easton, pa, to ottawa, canada), as our ony other choice was for one spouse to sit in the back seat of our honda accord. we also have not yet received a remedy for recall 16v-056, another airbag-related issue.

Takata recall i know a lot of cars are affected by it is taking so long to get my airbags fixed. i have had passengers to sit in the back in fear of having their face mutilated by my air bags which are there for safety, not danger. ridiculous.

Excessive oil consumption. i change the oil religiously every 3-4,000 miles even though the owners manual says 10,000. if i did not add oil, 2 qts every 1,500 miles it would be bone dry at 3,000. no blue smoke, no oil drips left behind

Takata recall untimely replacement of srs ecu - taking months to get this replaced, no date for replacement is available, driving with potentially corroded components and possible lack of deployment of airbags

Vtc actuator makes loud rattle with almost every start. it is an engine problem on 2007 to 2012 honda crv as well as 2008 to 2012 accords. if this part fails, the engine will seize up and could cause the driver to lose control. honda has verified the problem but since the vehicle is out of warranty at 75000 miles, they refuse to remedy the problem. given case number 04825102 and contacted product concerns department but still refused to address problem. vehicle has service notice 09010. honda tech confirmed they have had may problems and even had to get a replacement part for their replacement part. this needs to be dealt with by honda, but they are not taking any responsibility.

Takata recall*** received notification via mail 7/23/16 that passenger airbag inflator is now part of recall, advised not to drive with passenger until its been fixed, but honda offers no information about when that will be. called honda on 7/25 (next business day) to request alternate transportation, was told to also follow up with local honda dealer. called them, left message with "person responsible for reviewing". after calling for two more days and talking with as many people as possible, local dealer rep stated they can do nothing until national customer service reviews and authorizes loaner vehicle. called national customer service 7/28/16 to follow up on request as no word from case manager. was on vacation the following week so no followup, but no call from honda either. on 8/8/16 (two weeks after initial request), called again to follow up, denise confirmed my request is in the escalations queue and to be patient. i find it beyond ridiculous that honda cannot staff themselves appropriately to deal with this recall situation. every day that goes by, while i wait "patiently" is another day that honda our family risks injury or death from the airbag in our vehicle and is another day that honda doesn't have to pay for a rental vehicle to eliminate the risk of that injury/death. honda is gambling that our vehicle, that has spent its entire 8 years of existence in a priority (humid) location (florida), won't injure or kill us in the meantime, even though they have gone so far as to advise in writing for no one to ride in the front passenger seat. due to our child safety seats in the back for our children, there is no other viable seating position in this vehicle and this is unacceptable. honda is sandbagging the rental vehicle request process. they need to expedite requests for alternate transportation before another person is injured or killed.

Car sporadically dying (electrically and all) while in drive or in motion of forward driving (while going 30 + mph) and then just as sporadically turning itself back on. makes chain dragging sound similar to worn brake pads but the sound will change pitches while driving between 0-43mph. after 43 mph it no longer makes odd sounds but as soon as deceleration begins it is at risk to either temporarily "die' or slightly jerk and almost "die". this has happened while driving up to 20 times within 3 miles and the first time it "died" was while pulling into a parking spot and fully stopping. it has not done it for the last couple days and local mechanic could not diagnose it as the battery was in great condition and everything appeared to be plugged where it should be.

After fixing takata air bag recall for honda accord 2008 sedan, srs air bag light started coming on and stays on even after the car is in drive mode. gillman honda (sam houston pkwy, houston tx) wants to charge for detection and fixing of the issue. i have written about 2 weeks ago to honda motors america to address this issue since this is a "safety" issue but they have not responded yet. i request nhtsa to investigate since so many honda cars have "srs light come on" issues. in many cases as i have read on online forums and blogs the detection is 1. driver side wire harness problem 2. driver side seat belt buckle sensor. honda motors should cover this issue as a part of lifetime warranty and a safety recall should be issued immediately on honda cars with such know problems.

Recall on airbag not completed. car has been taken to honda deanship repair greensboro, nc. light still showing in dashboard

My husband and i were on a trip and i didn't realize it, but people kept flashing us and i did not have my lights on. when we pulled over, my husband could not get out of his side of the door. it would not open. we were on the freeway, on a cold rainy day and visibility was bad, and not being able to have lights, or defroster work properly put us in a hazardous position. later i found out as i took it to a mechanic was that our fuse box was not working correctly, and the lights on the right side only and the door and the defroster were not working. it cost me $951.09 to get this repaired on my 2008 honda accord. i think when people get in a car, and drive it especially in hazardous conditions, everything should work properly. i did see on several sites there was a recall on this, but i never received a recall letter, or was contacted by my dealer. i would like to be reimbursed for the $951.09 oh, and i also would like other honda owners to be aware of this problem. it could possibly prevent an accident, someone in dire situation that affects their safety. the car was being driven on a rainy day, and the defroster could not clear the windows, we could not put the heater on, could not roll the window down, could not get out of the car because the lock would not come up. regards, amy lowery

Takata recall, we bought this car for over 16,000 at gormleys automotive. after getting it home there were certain repairs that we needed asap. the car was definitely in a previous accident as we could see when the paint chipped that there was the original honda white underneath. the car has 3 recalls. lights come on that do not make sense and even though we didn't receive a manual, i looked things up on the internet. the engine belt rumbles, the suspension is way off, the leather seats and sidearms have ripped because they were replaced by cheap parts. the car loan is for 331.00 monthly and still is owed a siginificant amount on. steward financial harasses with phone calls if you are an hr late on a payment. unacceptable. i am disabled and can barely make ends meet. i do not want to pay for a car that runs like a hoopdee when its supposed to run like a honda. turning it does not grab the road, stationary the engine rumbles. i am a female so i do not know to much about cars. what i do know is that i cannot afford to have repairs done on a car with such a large amount owed on it.

"takata recall" honda usa does not honor the nhtsa 16v-056 (corrosion of the ecu unit) air bag recall. they said they would send a remedy letter in the fall of 2016. never received the letter, and closed their recall campaign. they will not replace the ecu unit unless it's corroded to a point where a warning light comes on. the whole point of the nhtsa 16v-056 recall is to replace the ecu unit, so no corrosion will occur in the future. honda usa refuses to replace the ecu unit. they bully their dealers not to replace it too. i have never encountered a business that is this deceiving in my life. i' m stuck without any pull or power to have them liable for this issue. please ,i beg you , please help me nhtsa! there was a litigation that was settled in the past regarding premature wear on the rear brakes. they just replaced one set of rear brakes per litigation, but the actual defect was never addressed and never fixed. the defect is in their braking system . i'm still driving with defective braking, with extremely high anxiety. honda usa deceived nhtsa and the customers again. seats are so uncomfortable , it detracts attention away from driving safely on the road.

This 2008 honda accord constantly misses mostly from cylinder 1 and sometimes just spits oil out of the tailpipe.the misses happen at idle, and almost 100% when attempting to pass making it extremely unsafe. it has had many sensors replace, its timing belt replaced, all coils, and sparkplugs many times. the mechanic says the spark plugs are laser irridium and should last 100,000 miles but are lucky to last 10,000 miles. i am not sure what documents to include but am just getting this complaint started. i have the accord at the mechanic today but it has been multiple repairs prior to this.

When starting up my 2008 honda accord, i experience a very loud rattling noise coming from the vtc actuator. this is a very common problem among honda engines. hundreds of thousands of people have experienced the same problem. honda needs to own up to the fact that the actuator they put in my car is faulty and can lead to many more problems.

2008 accord 4 cylinder has excessive oil consumption because of factory defect piston ring.

I own a 2008 honda accord which i purchased brand new in 2008. after i reached about 75,000 miles i started having extreme oil consumption which then lead to me having to replace vtc actuator and piston rings costing me almost $2,000. i have taken my car in multiple times and they tell me there is no issues and honda refuses to do anything. i now can only go about 1,000 miles without having to replenish the oil. as many reports as there are of this known issue and honda refuses to support their customers, speaks loudly.

I purchased my vehicle one year ago (december 2018) and have had a grinding noise upon starting the vehicle. this grinding noise occurs during or weather and cold weather. i went to a honda dealership where they ran an oil consumption test and came to the conclusion that the vtc actuator wasn’t working properly and there was a high oil consumption. honda is saying there was never a recall but this is and has been a well known occurring issue with honda’s from years 2008-2012) and i have not been able to fix as the price to fix the vehicle would cost just as much as the price i purchased it for. i’m highly disappointed with a honda as i’ve heard excellent things about honda cars which is why i purchased my accord. if i had known of the issue i wouldn’t have purchased it and i’d rather purchase a different car than to have to come out of pocket. i don’t feel i have been treated properly throughout this process and i gabe honda the chance to make things right but no one is willing to cooperate. i will not be purchasing a new vehicle. i even thought to trade my vehicle in for a 2018 honda accord but if i feel i’ve been treated poorly why would i want to continue giving a company my business if i’ve been treated poorly? also my dad was considering purchasing a brand new 2021 honda civic but now i will lead him to a different brand vehicle as honda has not lived up to its name. and now to top everything off, my motor is going all due to the negligence of the honda dealer. if they would have fixed the vtc actuator problem my motor wouldn’t be consuming so much oil and my motor would not have blown. i think it’s a little outrageous that honda thinks it’s normal for me to have to pay for an oil change at least once a month if not sooner when it was a known problem with thousands of honda’s.

I started my car up in the morning and warmed it up for about 15 minutes then as i go to put it in reverse the battery light came on i then put my car in park and turned it off then i turned it back on and the battery light was still on i decided to just go because i have to be at work in an hour as i am driving down i five the radio stopped working like the side of the vehicle started flickering and my headlights turned off and i was now driving down i-5 in the dark. fortunately i made it to my location parked my car and it completely died. i didn’t open my hood and started checking my battery and my alternator etc. i confirmed my battery was fine and that my alternator had failed. i then notice fluid was leaking from the power steering pump to the alternator. now my car is has no power and even if i get it jumpstarted it just dies.

Takata inflatorsi receive emails that my 2008 honda accord may be affected however when i go on line to check the only recall that appears is nose mask. i do not have one. initially i was informed by ntsb verbally that they were recalling vehicles in very humid states, well now we all appear to be suffering that climate. should i be concerned??

Honda will not fix their recall nor delete the recall. i need this recall off my record.

Honda put a recall on my car. they would delete or fix the recall. nose mask, i never had a nose mask. they wasted a lot of my time. i went to honda dealership twice. they just told me to call 1800-999-1009. they told me it is nhtsa's fault. please investigate this case. delete "the incompleted recall" from my vehicle's record.

I was driving home from work when suddenly my passenger air bag deployed without a passenger, the road i was traveling on is under construction and had a slightly raised platform however i drive this road daily at the same speeds. i was shocked to see that there are no recalls for this, despite the all of the negative press and articles of honda being investigated.

2008 honda accord. consumer writes in regards to airbag inflator safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the recall notification is being sent to the wrong address. the manufacturer was notified, but no adjustments were made. *js

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?

Honda makes very bad transmissions. i have a 2008 v6 accord and transmission broke down at 151,000- miles. also radiator went broke at 152,000

While driving tensioner bolt broke leave vehicle without power steering or any power except for the battery until that died.it has happened twice in two years and i don’t see a recall on this issue.

In 2008, i purchase a new honda accord v6 paid with financing $25,000. i purchase a brand new vehicle to not have to be bothered with someone else problems. when my car reached 100 thousand miles in the winter, i heard a loud knocking sound under the hood and i was loosing a lot of oil. i took my car to the dealer. my engine light was on and start blinking. the dealer pulled the dtc and the p0301 cold was present. a service bulletin 13-078 and case # 312-cv-01377-s1 told me that would be no cost to me because i was a class member. this was from a class action filing that 1.5 million honda were defective because of a manufacturer defect. i was told this would fix my $25,000 investment honda i purchase and paid in full. since then i went to the community honda dealership in orland park illinois and on april 2019 the p0301 code was present again something new and the p0420 dtc. i paid again for tune up which the 1st cylinder was fouled out again the third time this year. the director of the service department name bob stated for this repair again would cost me $8,000 and smiled. i said i could not afford that repair and because now that the first repair which i was lead to believe was going to fix the effect and did not. i was sold a lemon and i need honda to repurchase this vehicle and give me a brand new vehicle similar to the one i purchase for $25,000. the community honda service director would not warranty my tune up because he said i need piston rings again. i then contacted honda corporation and informed them of my issue with the vehicle i purchase with was a defect. took two weeks for the regional director per dana honda rep stated no more assistance will be given to this defective vehicle which is a manufacturer defect that i would not have purchase if i had known. i then had to go to pep boys to avoid blowing the engine and catching a fire for repa

I have a 2008 honda accord that was purchased in feb 2011. i have never had any major issues with this car in the past, besides replacing brakes. however, in the past year, i have noticed that my oil is burning much faster than it used to. i go to the dealer to have my oil changed per their instructions when the oil meter says 15%. however, i noticed that my car was running odd, even though my oil meter said 60%. i checked my oil dipstick to find that it was completely dry october last year, even though i just had an oil change 2 months before. i had to buy two quarts of oil to fill it back up. i suspected that the dealership (honda of columbia) did not actually fill my oil, but charged me for it. i went to the honda dealership in columbia, who insisted that they did fill my oil in october. since that incident, my car has had to have frequent oil changes, due to the oil burning out quickly. i had an oil consumption test started in july 2019 at 147,384 miles and it showed my car burned a quart of oil in 2000 miles (149,230). the honda dealership told me that it was ‘normal’ to burn one quart in 2000 miles because my car has many miles. therefore, i had to buy another quart of oil to add to my car. i checked my oil yesterday (at 150,300 miles) and i have burned another quart. this time it was 1000 miles for one quart. it is concerning that my car has started to burn oil quickly when it did not before.

Vtc (variable timing control) actuator, horrible grinding noise at start up and i do know that honda is aware of this and has had many many complaints. that has got to be a “lemon law” issue and i believe it needs to be fixed promptly. on a cold start, is when it makes the terrible noise. if it’s driven for a while and then started up again, it is a 50/50 chance that it will make the noise again.

Takata recall. honda contacted me again regarding the takata airbag inflator. i traded this car into an acura dealer approximately 10 years ago. i have contacted honda by phone and mail 5 or 6 times yet they still haven't corrected this. somewhere someone is driving a dangerous vehicle. i sure they could find this car if they followed up correctly. they are obviously not very concerned about safety.

My vehicle's piston rings are damaged and my vehicle is burning oil. i noticed that after checking my oil one day that there was no oil on my dip stick. i had just recently gotten an oil change less than 2 weeks ago. i check my fluid levels frequently due to i just purchased this vehicle about 3 months ago. i took it back to walmart where i had the oil change done at and they performed another oil change and replaced the oil filter, where i was able to watch them do the entire process. about a week and a half goes by and i went to check the fluid level and again the dip stick was bare. there is no indication of any oil leaking underneath the vehicle, nor is there any oil present on the ground underneath the vehicle after sitting overnight. there is no white smoke coming out of anywhere, no oil burning smell, absolutely nothing visible to see what might be going on with the vehicle. i took it to a mechanic that is in town where they did a thorough examination of the vehicle and stated that the oil burning is being caused by the piston rings. they are in their opinion faulty piston rings that have developed an abnormal amount of deb-re on them and they need to be replaced. i feel this is something that should be in the recall list due to this vehicle only has 104,123 miles on it and the pistons should not have to be replaced.

Every time are start my vehicle it makes a grinding rattling noise, this issue has been going on for some time now and the noise it makes seems to be lasting longer every time we start it. the vehicle is not moving, it is in park, it only occurs when i start it up.

I own 2 honda’s an accord and a pilot it is insane the visa modulator went bad on both them. a 1500+ part that also is associated with the abs and emerg brake. i have 2 relative who also have this problem. the more research i do the more this seems to be a faulty part issue. how is everyone e having this issue? very unhappy with the cost of this and being forced to utilize a dealership for this fix only. as honda does not allow any other mechanic to fix or reset this code. 121-01. &. 121-21

Takata recall. took my honda to get recall done. got call back that said the recall was done but the airbag light was permanently on due to the recall replacement. they said it was because new part they made did not sync with my seats because they are “after market” seats?! my honda was bought brand new by my grandfather at breakaway honda in greenville south carolina, and the seats in it are the same ones that came with it when drove off the lot! i now live in north a carolina and crown honda of durham nc is refusing to due anything about it saying it’s not their problem, and that i need to take it up with the sc honda location. take my car to get a recall done and got a car back with airbags that no longer work?! doesn’t make sense it me. i now have a car less safe than before.

Both front driver and passenger side air bag curtains that connect to the roof are leaking water into the vehicle when it rains. i’m aforesaid this could affect my airbag in the event of an accident. i never realized this is why my driver seats are wet when it rains.

Honda recall. my car for some reason was covered under the power transmission recall even though my car is experiencing the same problem and codes other 2008 honda accord were the same year. my oil is going faster then i can put it in. it doesn't last a whole month. i have no oil leaks in my car at all what so ever. its damaging my engine because i had no clue it was burning the oil that fast. it's not fair they only cover some 2008 honda accord. when they already were sued because if it.

The check engine light kept coming up with the maintenance light and the oil level kept dropping.i took it to autozone and i got these coded p3497 and p3400. i did a research myself and found out that there was a recall on this issue as stated in honda's bulletin 11-033.the recall covers all accord from 2008-2010 which mine is included. i called accord to notify them about these but after they looked up the vin,i was told my car wasn't included. honda's bulletin says all 2008-2010 v6 accord so why is my car exempted? please kindly look into these issue. thank you.

"takata recall". 2008 honda accord driver-side takata airbag aggressively deployed upon impact from another vehicle in accident, causing sever injury to driver of honda vehicle. this occurred on a main highway. there has been no recall of the 2008 driver-side airbag. my vehicle was a total loss.

Was told in letter that the 2008 honda accord has a recalled airbag that could kill or seriously injur you and your passengers. called friendly honda of poughkeepsie, ny and they are not giving any appointments for over a week. they are not giving a loaner car until a week. i am concerned that they are not having this car brought in immediately. waiting for a week for a serious recall to me is dangerous. i pointed this out and there was no change in the date.

The tpms light on the cluster panel turns on at highway speeds. i've routinely checked the tire pressure for past three months on cold mornings and warm tires. the tpms light turns off on it own after an hour of highway driving or once you switch the engine off (it doesn't come back on until you drive at highway speeds again for at least 30-60 minutes).

Grinding noise presents when cold start the car, possiblely the vtc actuator failure

Since last 5 years i noticed loud grinding noise at startup, only in the morning when i first start the engine. noise does not happen on startups during the day and the engine runs fine. just the annoying about 2 second long scratch noise at first start in the morning. but since last 2-3 weeks it has gone worst and get that noice even when i start driving and every time i slow down and start speed up again it get that noice like gear slipping or grinding noise until i reach to faster speed like above 30-35. its happening every time now. on honda's website it defines problem as "engine rattles at cold start-up" just difference for me is now its happening all the time when i am driving. and i was waiting for hope to get recall notification since it's happening to all 2008 honda accord customers. here is the link of honda website which has more information . https://honda.oemdtc.com/219/engine-rattles-at-cold-start-up-2008-2013-honda which even says the 2008-2012 all honda accord models has this problem. so before i schedule an appointment to dealership i thought to take this step to mention about common problem of particular 2008 honda accord to nhtsa united states department of transportation hoping i will get some kind of help or solution.

Engine rattles loudly for 2 seconds upon cold start. online searches reveal this is a known problem with the vtc actuator and a tsb has been issues (nhtsa #10087883). mechanic says could result in catastrophic engine failure if not fixed. i feel that honda should pay for this repair on my vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving approximately 20 mph, the contact swerved to the right to avoid a vehicle entering her lane. as a result, the contact struck a curb and the front passenger curtain and seat air bags deployed. there were no injuries due to the deployment. the vehicle was taken to capitol city honda (2370 carriage loop sw, olympia, wa 98502, (360) 754-3399), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 176,000.

I am the original owner, my car has approx. 24000 miles, i having break problem that is developed approx. good 5000 miles ago. when the break is applied the font end of the car starts vibrating and shaking, also can filled in the starring wheel.

The brake light continues to go on and off on the dashboard. i have changed my brakes, replaced the brake fluid and the problem persists. i have went to honda and they can only tell you the cost for the repair. i have seen quite a few complaints on other websites with the same problem. i have found multiple websites with the same problem for the 2008, 2009 and 2007 honda accord, i cannot understand how it’s affecting a significant amount of vehicles for the honda accord and there is not a recall listed. especially when it can cause hazardous driving conditions. the light comes on within a minute or two of driving and turns off after reaching 40 mph. other times it stays on and the vsa light comes on.

The car is excessively burning oil. i have to add a quart of oil at least once a month. before that i was getting oil changes frequently because the car was saying the oil was low.

My side airbags deployed when i hit a very deep pot hole. i took it to the dealer but they said they cannot help because it's not on a recall but there apparently is a problem because the airbags deployed. the airbags are now hanging in my car. if i get into an accident these will obviously not work. please advise what can i do to get these fixed as it clearly is a malfunction issue.

The engine burns oil to an excessive degree. i have to add approximately 2+ quarts of oil every 3000 thousand miles.

Have tried to get all 4 windows to roll down none of them will have had it tested and they cannot find out what the problem is to me this is a safety problem just in case the car doors won't open then you need to roll down the windows and you can't

There is a sharp metal edge that i assume is part of the internal seat frame that has sliced through the seat foam and the seat fabric on the driver's side seat and presses against the body of the driver. no injuries have occured yet, but i don't relish the thought of this being shoved into my shoulder blade if i were to get hit from behind.

I have replaced my leather seats twice and they are the ones from the dealer and they don't last buy a year and i am having to replace it. also, i have replaced my console top compartment twice before the 36,000 miles on my car. then they dealer ship said after that the warranty is only one year. the leather seats are expensive

Takata recall: i received a "srs ecu failure" recall notice and contacted a honda dealership for support. they told me to disregard the recall. i went to a second dealership and they replaced one part but had to "order" another. that second part still has not been replaced and it has been over a year now. i have not received a service update or appointment. is my car safe?

On october 8, 2018 in portland oregon a vehicle drove through the intersection and his red light and i was hit while making the left turn on the left front side closer to the hood of my vehicles and my side airbags did not deploy and sustained a fractured scapula, ribs, punctured and bruised lung and other bruising injuries. in 2017 we took the vehicle in for the service and safety recalls had been “fixed”.

My car makes this rattling sound when i first start the car. i brought it into my honda dealership to have it looked and they said it is a known issue related to other honda accords but honda won't cover the cost to have it repaired. they gave me an estimate of $480 to have fixed. i've searched online and found that many honda accord owners have also faced this issue with the rattling sound. if it is a known defect and saftey issue, why hasn't honda issued a recall to fix it?

V tec actuator makes griding noise when start a car for 2 to3 seconds

Very loud noise for a few seconds when starting the car.. took it to the mechanic shop he said it was the vtc actuator and few other things..

Low tire pressure light on dashboard stays lit constantly (years!); even after brand new, properly inflated tires are installed. on florida turnpike friday 7/27/18 very fortunate that tire made noise so i pulled over, as tire inside sidewalls rubber was disintegrated/gone with steel threads showing! tpms dash light is known defect to honda; but they want to charge $90 to tell you that! i'm extremely lucky to not be in hospital or morgue today!

Door lock, rear passenger side, automatically unlocks when i lock the doors. this has happened before on the driver side, rear door and was replaced due to recall.

The takata airbags don't work well and also the brake doesn't work well sometimes

Sun visor falls down, obscuring vision. bought car brand new, visor started falling down within first 4 months of owning. repeatedly reported to dealership, was always blown-off as "that's not covered and nothing we can do about it". have inquired at different dealers; unable to get rectified. this is a safety issue. the dealer also blew me off when i kept reporting to them something was wrong w/brakes, from day one --as well as i repeatedly tried to get them to explain and address why my airbag light kept going off and on intermittently from day one. both of those issues turned into recalls! but still cannot get anyone to listen to me that the sunvisor constantly falling- again, from almost day one - is in fact, a safety issue, or even get them to fix this!

“takeda recall” i took my vehicle to honda buena park in buena park, ca for this recall, and i’m just finding out that the recall is still active.

Light was turning on off when turn on street. lighton seat belt was also doing the same thing. i didn’t know what it was so i took it to the dealer.they said it was the airbag doing all the problem . so they explained that there was a recall on this problem so they change it on time before any other serious accident can happen.

Nose mask recall jw9

Takata recall and srs safety went to the autoairbagsettlement.com website and unable to find any links to file a claim online, this has been repaired but still want t be a part of it. the other recall still has no remedy at this time and judging from the text on nhtsa recall #16v-056 it sounds serious. please help me to remedy this situation. thanks,

Takata recall sometimes my sideairbag signal blinks and when i press the brake paddle hardly it sounds like rough and also sometimes when i touch the door i feel little bit electric shock.

Seatbelt light is continuously on when driving and when the car is started. this can be a safety hazard. when passengers are in the front and back seats of the vehicle, the light remains red, which means something is wrong. i travel a lot with grandchildren in car seats. this has to be addressed immediately.

2008 honda accord ex-l v6. engine failure. heading home and car cut off. pulled over and called my mechanic for a tow to his shop. his diagnosis was engine failure and he stated a new engine is the only fix. my mechanic runs a small shop in a small town and he tells it like it is. he recommended selling the car for scrap rather than investing in the new engine. i was upset. this is a nice car and is quite clean. but during my five years of ownership i have added oil every week to keep it topped off. spark plugs fouled often enough to carry extras in the trunk along with a ratchet and socket. when they fouled i would pull over, change them and go on my way. i still own the car. but it is has too many miles and is too old for inclusion into the class action settlement. this isn't right and it's the first and last honda i will ever own.

My daughters car was parked and running when her friend closed the drivers door and the side curtain airbags deployed. i contacted a local honda dealer and they told me there was no recall on the side curtain system but there was for the front passenger airbag(takata). recall #16v-056

Takata recall

I have received several takata airbag notifications to take my care in to service the recall r21. the same recall for my car is listed when i enter my auto vin in the www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. also, my 2008 year car type is not listed in the www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/06/22/business/international/takata-airbag-recall-list.htm list of cars needing the recall. when i took my car to get serviced they told me that my type of car is not applicable. i am conflicted since i am receiving these notices and this recall is listed in the nhtsa website. please advise if my 2008 honda accord car should or should not have the r21 recall fix? if i should please advise what i need to do since the honda accord service state i do not have the car that needs the recall fix.

“takata recall” i had gotten into an collision involving a deer on 10/26/2016. i was going approximately 60 mph when i struck this roughly 110 pound deer. the impact was on my front bumper on the passenger side of my car. when i took it to get repaired i had no other choice but to go with my insurance’s geico express facility since all the shops were full from hail damage vehicles. in the estimate and on the repair order i received from geico and amm collision. my vehicle never had the work done to the structure untill 2 months ago. it stated that there were 3 structural components that were worked on. the right rail assembly 4 hours or repair time 60810ta5a00zz (where front and rear panels connect, heavy buckle), the left inner panel 3.6 hours repair time 04695ta0a00zz(rolled with putter panel, includes time for brackets at the top of frame), and the right front panel (crushed,cost effective to replace)60659ta5a50zz. my vehicle was in the shop for only 2 business days but some how put 41 hours worth of labor into my car. i had gotten into another hit and run on 9/20/17 where my side airbags didn’t deploy. i took it back to amm collision where geico tried to total out my vehicle, falsify paperwork by taking off componants(transmission), undervalue then retain my vehicle. when i dropped my vehicle off back with amm collision i had taken pictures of patches of rust on structure componants and broken tack welds. still today i have broken welds in my car. but the major concern was geico and amm collision trying to hide the fact that they didn’t do the repairs to my frame for a whole year. and when i requested the photos of the repairs and measurements from the body alignment machine from the shop, i had the police called on me and i have a felony criminal trespassing warning at amm collision for asking for paperwork that they cannot provide.

My 2008 honda accord driver side airbag is currently not under recall, however every other airbag in the vehicle has been recalled and replaced. therefore i have no confidence that the driver side airbag is safe. i have just received a notice of impending bankruptcy re takata. do i have recourse for a replacement for a vehicle currently in use, given that the airbag may be defective, and the company is going out of business?

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bag) and stated that the part needed was unavailable to perform the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified of issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect. the vin was not available.

The vehicle was running smoothly on the freeway, being driven at approximately 64 mph - there were no warning lights on (check engine, low oil, temperature..) - suddenly there was a metal clank from the engine compartment followed immediately by a plume of thick clear smoke that completely engulfed the car as the engine stalled and died - within a matter of seconds. the smoke cleared rapidly, and looking under the hood, nothing seemed to be amiss. no fire, no more smoke, no leaking fluids, but the engine was completely dead. subsequent attempts to re-start it produced only the click of the starter - the engine refused to turn over. the car was towed to an auto repair shop where it was discovered that there was absolutely no oil in the engine which had caused it to seize. for the past 18 months the car has been burning quite a significant bit of oil. during that period, it needed at least two two quarts of oil between scheduled oil changes - there never was any oil leak. two weeks prior to the incident, it was topped off with two quarts of oil when the low oil and check engine lights came on. when the engine was finally opened, it was discovered that the piston rod had snapped off when the engine ran dry of oil (see attached pictures). subsequent research has revealed that honda is aware of several problems involving excessive oil consumption for this particular engine configuration and model year (2008 3.5l v6 pzev). i have also discovered official several honda service bulletins that are relevant and pertinent to this issue. so far, my best attempts to get a resolution from american honda has produced no result even though i submitted documented evidence that the car was serviced regularly as per honda's recommendations and its long history of problems and repairs relating to excessive oil consumption.

This is a safety raised issue on a 2008 accord-lxp that i purchased used (which had about 29k originally when i purchased it as a certified honda accord) from herb chambers boston. since i purchased the car, i started hearing an odd grinding noise when starting the car on cold days - honda said just keep oil full. i then find out that a recall had been issued to fix the oil consumption, that honda had finally agreed there was an issue with the engine design and would fix it and at the same time would not cause other issues to emerge such as vtc and the timing chain issues. recently my engine light came on, i started researching the problem. it was the first time i knew about the following issues which i will be detailing/describing below. results were bad: a timing chain failure. my car has stopped in the middle of road causing a very dangerous situation which could led to me losing my life. not, only that, when i tried to just drive the car a mile back to my house it was accelerating and decelerating by it self. in addition, i decided to take it to the dealership for a diagnoses, i almost ended up in couple accidents. the car was uncontrollable and won't stop and the brakes won’t respond due to issues caused by oil consumption, to vtc actuator to a timing chain failure: the car keep accelerating and decelerating by it self on the road or highway. note: ideally the timing chain should not fail on 58k miles. simplified sequence of problems: oil consumption issue vtc (valve timing control) actuator timing chain (either loose or broken) safety issue

Takata recall i get letter after letter from honda promising to replace the airbag. the latest letter tells me to let no one sit in the passenger seat. what about the driver's seat? you are not doing your job. you should tell them that they can't sell any more cars until they fix the ones they have sold. don't you understand why americans hate their government?

I'm just writing to ask what i do now. the notice says i can not have passengers in the front seat. i have a car pool, with 5 riders. help!!!!

Takata recall-the dealership has known that my car has defective parts for so long and still there are no replacement parts. i last complained in april. yesterday i received a letter stating there are still no replacement parts, but i will be informed when there are parts available. they suggest i have no front seat passengers. this is not a solution. i do not feel safe in my car. not using it is not an option. why can't the airbags parts being put into newly built cars be used to repair the defective cars? honda has disappointed me once again. i won't buy another one -or recommend them. i wanted to send this message so i have written confirmation that honda is not taking care of this problem.

My car has 21,000 miles on it when i discovered that the noise coming from the back of the car was my brake pad wear sensors. they started squealing 1,000 earlier but i did not know it was the wear sensors making the noise because they squealed while driving. there should not have been any brake drag unless the calipers were not working properly. i did find out on the inet that the slider pins were reversed and that was why there was drag on the brakes. this is a safety hazard and also causes less fuel efficiency since the brakes are being applied all of the time. i took the car to the local honda dealer at the request of honda customer service and the dealership told me that i had no brake pads left. i called honda back and they told me that my car was not on a recall list according to my vin but all of the articles that i read on the inet said that over 750,000 of all 2008-2009 and early 2010 accords and acura tsx had the slider pins reversed. there is a document issued by honda that comes with the new fixed brak pads for the rear wheels states that the slider pins needs to be reversed and the smooth pin should be on top. mine were originally installed at the factory reversed. here is an internet link explaining the problem along with the document that comes with their so called "improved honda rear brake pads for swapping the two rear caliper pins which were installed incorrectly at the factory. http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/2008-2010-honda-accord-premature-rear-brake-pad-wear-repair-guide/

Experiencing excessive oil consumption, per honda recall, it is due to piston o rings leaking oil into chamber causing excessive oil burning and causing engine knocks once the oil was consumed within less than 3 months.

Tamara recall has been needed for my 2008 honda accord since 2015. i have contacted my dealer, ocean honda, in ventura numerous times trying to schedule repairs. each time, i have been told they do not have the necessary parts. news reports are urging people in high heat or humid areas such as the area in which i live to no longer drive their recalled cars until repairs are completed due to the serious hazard. i am deeply concerned regarding the continued delay. i transport my grandchildren often, and fear for their safety as well my own. the rental car option being offered is extremely inconvenient. i am already on a long list of patrons waiting to schedule the repair work. i am concerned that as the delayed delivery of repair parts is extended that my ability to have this work done will be further delayed, extending the time of risk or injury to myself and passengers. i wish to file a formal complaint as to the serious nature of the recall problem and the continued delay due to the inadequate supply of replacement parts at local dealerships. this situation needs prompt resolution.

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.

Yellow sac spider blocking venting of fuel tank yellow sac spider built nest in evap system causing blockage and triggering a dtc code p2422 (evap cannister vent shut valve close malfunction). this problem has been an issue for 2008 and 2009 honda accords and a technical service bulletin 08-087 had been issued to dealers. other car manufacturers, notably mazda and toyota, issued recalls to deal with yellow sac spider problems. honda treated it as a warranty issue and might make a partial payment for out of warranty claims. the fix is to install a spring in the valve to prevent spider nests. a blocked vent line can cause excessive pressure in the gas tank leading to leakages or worse. unless a spring is installed, any honda accord model years 2008 and 2009 can have this problem. yellow sac spiders are found in 49 states, canada and mexico.

I parked on my driveway, which slopes upward. i pushed open the door to the maximum extent. as i exited the car, the door closed by itself, hitting me on the shoulder and injuring the shoulder. (i am now getting medical treatment for the injury.) both the front driver and front passenger doors frequently close on their own, but this was the first time i was seriously injured. after my injury, i asked friends if their doors did this, and tested their doors. even parked on a very slight upward slope, my door has a tendency to close on its own. at that point i realized there was a problem with my car; the door was not supposed to close like this. i plan to take the car to the dealer as soon as i can to see if the door mechanism can be fixed on both sides.

For the past year what i thought was a seatbelt light had been appearing and disappearing. honda has done all maintenance on my car since i bought it in 2011. on 6/14/16 i took my car in because the light wasnt going off. i was then informed that it was a srs warning and my vehicle is not safe to drive. i was distraught to find out that i had been driving around all this time with my son and others in a defected car. bommarito honda in hazelwood refused to fix the issue because my warranty expired may of 2015. i couldn't afford to fix it myself. sadly they even had a note in the system form february 2016 that the srs light was on but no one ever informed me of the danger i was in. so i am again driving in a unsafe vehicle because honda and the shop manager matt fair did not feel they are responsible.

My 2008 honda accord has been using oil way before the next oil change. this has only occurred the last two changes. the car does not leak or smoke. there has been a class action suit regarding spark plug fouling indicating unusual oil consumption. my car has only 59500 miles and i believe the problem may be starting now. honda extended a recall until nov. 2015, 8 years past the purchase date. i was never notified about this and because the problem hadn't begun until now, it is only a matter of time that my plugs will foul. other 2008 honda owners had rings replaced and other engine remedies to correct the premature oil consumption. i have had several new hondas, and never experienced this kind of problem. i first saw about the class action law suit, about a month ago, and several people had this problem. because of the low mileage i was not affected, until my recent oil change. i certainly don't believe the car should be using 2 or more quarts in less than 1000 miles. the dealer told me they would have to do an oil change and monitor the consumption and then he said only about 2 out a 100 have been warranted. i have taken good care of my vehicles and changed the oil regularly and never had a problem like this. had i had this problem arise a few months back, i may have gotten this taken care of. unhappy honda customer

I began hearing a disturbing mechanical rattle on cold starts and started to become more excessive during the winter months. it was confirmed that the vtc actuator was the problem and i contacted honda america for a solution and assistance but they denied any goodwill service because of the age and miles on my car even thou its a common problem with every 2008 accord 2.4l kseries engine. my 2003 accord, sounds much better at start up than my 2008. kind of sad since it's over 200,000 miles now. the grinding sounds so bad it has to be damaging to something in the engine. with so many complaints from all the 2008 v4 owners, i don't know why honda is acknowledging this problem and release a service bulletin but not a free replacement of the troubled parts. this is very frustrating given and i am very unhappy with honda's customer service. after speaking with casy with american honda this morning, he stated that a recall has not been made because it has not caused an immediate harm to consumers. so, if i understand him correctly, harm to a consumer has to happen before something is done to a known problem????

Replaced vtc actuator once and needs to be replaced again. need a new redesigned vtc actuator to be manufactured.

Check engine light blinking under normal driving. engine needs to be replaced. honda won't cover because car is 5 months out of warranty. only has 42,000 miles. was told excessive oil consumption even though i have noticed no excessive oil consumption. last week was told engine misfire issue and they replaced rings and pistions.

There's excessive oil consumption. i've changed spark plugs, pcv valve, throttle body but nothing helps.

The cold start generates the grinding sound from vtc actuator. the result of vtc actuator complete mechanical failure is catastrophic. the valves from the intake of either cylinder 2&3 or 1&4 will result in a tensioner to fail and a fantastic collision of the valve with the piston. honda should issue a recall as this is a part defect. the newly redesigned vtc accturator was released but honda america only replace this for certain customer as case by case.

Purchased this vehicle in 2012, within 60 days of purchase i reported issues with oil consumption to honda and also to the dealership in which the car was purchased. honda gave me a rental for two days while they reviewed the problem. we were then asked to bring our vehicle back for a total of 3 tests once every 30 days to have them measure the oil. in the meantime we kept putting oil in the vehicle in a more than normally expected rate. even though they noticed it as a problem, the best they offered to do was fix it for $1500, however we never should have been responsible for the oil consumption problem. in 2016 honda reported a oil consumption recall for vehicles of which mine fit the orginal criteria. four years latter honda is still telling us that they will fix it for $1500. this issue should be fixed without us having to pay for it considering this was a late identified problem of which we have had to foot the cost for even while having a car note. honda should be responsible for fixing the oil consumption problems on the vehicles recalled.

This is regarding the 15v-665 recall for srs ecu software upgrade on 2008-2009 honda accords. i made an appointment at stevens creek honda to bring my car in for the recall. when i got there, they indicated that the recall for the software upgrade had been superceded by another recall action requiring a part that was not available yet. i asked why they let customers make a recall appointment if they already know the recall cannot be done. service attendant could not answer the question and i wasted some time off from work. then i talk to honda north america and they insist i need to get the software upgrade and do not know why stevens creek told me otherwise. over the next *3+ weeks* honda north america tried to resolve this with stevens creek. twice honda north america told me it was cleared up and to go ahead and make an appointment for the recall. but then when i called stevens creek i'm still told either 15v-665 is superceded by recall 16v-056 which requires parts not yet available or that it only needs to be done if my srs light is on. but again when i talk to honda north america they insist that 15v-665 and 16v-056 are different recalls even though both have to do with the air bag and that the 15v-665 software upgrade has nothing to do with the srs light. i finally gave up and made an appointment at another dealership further away. but if this recall is the safety issue that honda north america tells me it is, then i can only assume stevens creek is putting drivers at risk by not servicing the recalls as instructed my honda north america.

Takata recall as part of the airbag think my car is one of the recalls honda garage in greenfield mass. could not tell me. also brought my car today to have it test drive because feel like the front in has problems with noise an vibration feeling they test drove it said looked at it in the garage an told me it looked fine i just dont feel like it drives like it did before just want to send this as back up because if it brakes or ends up back in want to make it known an worried about the airbags.

Srs ecu recall has been poorly handle by honda corporation. my car is a 2008 honda accord and i got a recall notice recall15v-665 and it has not been resolved as of this date. i first visited team honda in baton rouge, louisiana on january 12, 2016 and was told that it was not related to recall. i was told the cost would be $500.00 to repair. i was unable to pay for repair at that time. i visited them again when i got a notice and they still was unable to make the repair and now i am being told it would be sometime this summer before parts will be available. i do not feel safe driving this car and would like to either get my car repaired or a rental car.

Aug 2015 heard a rattling noise from the engine. checked the dipstick and the engine was almost out of oil. this was in between oil changes at 3700 miles. i took the car in and had an oil change. i received a notice from honda about oil consumption issues. i began the oil consumption test with the dealer. so far, twice it has been down .75 qts. over 5k miles that would place the engine down 3.75 qts or almost dry, but honda says that's normal and i should be adding oil myself. that is ridiculous!!! why send out the notice and extend the warranty then. honda knows that this is an issue, but does nothing to fix the issue. i've read that it is worn piston rings do to a vcm timing issue. why is that the customers problem? the settled this owners of the v6, but told owners of the 4cyl to pound sand. this issue requires a recall. this is my first and last honda accord.

Ignition switch problem car would sometimes start sometimes would not even do anything no power no clicking just dead new battery everything checked out okay when i brought it to the mechanic left me stranded last week and had it towed this time it failed to start with all attempts, replacing ignition switch, car was off when this happened each time

The 2008 honda accord models were subject to a class action lawsuit in 2010. the suit stated that rear brake pads on the vehicle wear prematurely. the problem with the lawsuit is that at that time most owners of the vehicles did not know or encounter a problem with the brake pads. further, the pads are wearing prematurely which in most cases will cause a need for the rotors to be replaced. thus the expense to the owner is higher. in some instances the owner is force to purchase new calipers which increase the cost even more. the vehicles are outfitted with an electronic braking distribution (ebd) system which might be the cause of the overall issue. when the 2008 honda accord models were built, honda installed smaller brake pads on the vehicles. the class action lawsuit covered a fraction of the cost to owners. as time goes by, more and more owners are now faced with much higher costs to replace all the rear braking componenets. i myself spent over $800.00 in april, 2014 to have new brake pads, calipers and rotors installed on my vehicle. that service was to replace the original equipment on the vehicle. i need to have the same braking components replaced in march, 2016 at a cost of over $800.00. the brake components should not need to be replaced after 23 months. the mileage between repairs was 10,000 miles. honda needs to be held accountable for poor quality for the ebd systems in the vehicles.

Purchased my accord new off the lot.1st problem came exactly 1 month later 2 sensors had to be replaced. oil light consistently stayed on i was having to change or add oil all the time. ive been to every honda dealer in san diego. mission valley finally agreed to a oil consumption test but they assured me nothing was wrong. their solution was anytime i needed oil i could stop by any honda dealership & they would be happy to top it off for me. because of this oil problem & the sensor consistently staying on the car began to lose power & shot out the timing belt. my car has been in my driveway since last july2015. after sending honda numerous letters ron from honda motor co finally contacted me. final result his recommendation was to take the car back to the dealership for another oil consumption test to be done & if theres any other problems i would have to pay out of pocket. because the car was only covered for 60,000 miles. i'm so over this car & honda. i no longer feel safe driving a honda!

The engine of my honda accord 2008 started to having the rattle and scratching sound when it reached 32000 miles. the engine also started to fail as the rattle sound gets serious. i called honda usa multiple times, but they said that they will not cover this issue because the car was made in 2008 and i'm filing this complaint in 2016. i think honda usa is trying to avoid this defect of accord 2008, since numerous people have had the same issue.

"takata recall, my complaint is because i received a recall on my srs ecu parts to be changed and honda refuses to give my dealer permission to fix my car inspite the fact that i received a recall letter from them. they continue to say that because the light is not on in my car for the air bag that it do not need to be fixed. but yet i have a recalled on my side airbag and my fontal airbag. its not fair that these people would not care that my family and i am at risk for injury or to injury someone. please help me because this has cause lots of mental and physical strain on my health.

The engine rattles at cold start-up. since approximately september 1, 2015, the engine on my 2008 honda accord ex-l (4 cylinder) has created a loud rattle every time under cold start-up conditions. the noise goes away after approximately 2 seconds and the engine smooths out. i took the vehicle to a honda dealer for another issue in january 2016 and asked them to investigate the cold start-up noise, but they claimed that the noise did not occur when they started the vehicle. i questioned whether they tried to start it under cold engine conditions and they said they had. i recently took the vehicle to an independent service center and they were able to hear the rattle at cold start-up and suggested that the problem might be caused by a defective variable valve timing control (vtc) actuator. honda issued a technical service bulletin (09-010) but i have not been able to get a honda dealer to address the issue.

"takata recall" i purcahsed a 2008 honda accord in 2013. about a year and hald ago i started noticing that the car was burning alot of oil. on top of oil changes, i had to add 3-4 quarts a month. in sept 2015 i rcvd a warranty ext from american honda for sticking pistonsrings resulting in high engine oil consumption. i took the car to my local honda delaership and was told 3 failed attempts for a oil consumption test had to be done first before honda would fix rings problem. took the car to honda in oct 2015 to start test 1. after that the car started acting funny. i would jerk alot, engine light would start flashing, it wouldnt accelerate properly. in feb 2016 it happened again and i got stranded because the car wouldnt accelerate. american honda wouldnt honor the warranty ext because i was over the allowed miles. they know there was an issue with these model cars and had only recently sent me a letter regarding it. i found out that a few of the cylinders were misfiring and after reserach found out it was due to the rings. they provided terribel customer service and they put a crappy on the street and did everything to avioid fixing it. and then informed customers so late after the case was settled.

I just fixed my 2008 honda accord again the srs unit system. as first, i don’t think this system is easy to failure, but it happened to my car. the srs celtainly light came on and staying for a couple months, i went to dealer near by to have the diagnoses check and find out the srs unit went bad? (that is dangerous). but the cost is too costly to fix. dealer told me that i can wait a few month, maybe honda will recalls again the airbag to fix it free. (they never mention the srs unit. srs unit is the heart of the airbag system). then i told them that i can’t wait untill then. it is my wife car. she has to drive my two sons to school everyday and i worry the rain is wiil be coming soon. and i have to replaced the srs uint for $680.00 included diagnoses. the complaint i wrote is the srs unit suppose to work as long as the car still operate? when it failured? if accendent? what is going to happen to you as a driver and to the passenger??? i like honda very much but not happy which what happen to my honda accord now.

At about 68,000 miles, i began hearing a disturbing mechanical rattle on cold starts. it got worse and worse until a recent trip to my honda dealer confirmed i have the vtc (?) valve rattle problem, and it is "currently under review by honda." from my research on honda owners forums, this affects a large number of models from 2008 on, and has been a known issue for several years now. i was told this issue does not affect engine performance or longevity, but it is disconcerting to have sounds like this emanating from my engine every day (it now happens every time i start the car). a call to honda confirmed honda knows about the problem, but they are "still working on a solution" (i don't know for how many years now). and no, they won't do anything for me, no compensation or even a fix i could possibly pay for. i would like to get rid of the car before something else happens, but no buyer will pay market value for it with this condition. i am also worried about safety because this issue could cause an engine seizure while driving. the problem keeps getting worse and i no longer trust honda is telling the truth.

Loud cranking noise when cold starting the car regardless of date of last oil change. honda informed me it was the vtc actuator, which is a known problem based on online complains, but still no recall. many people have this same complaint at varying degrees of mileage.

For 2 yrs my 2008 honda accord would make a loud rumble at a cold startup. i took my car to a few mechanics including honda and unfortunately the problem could not be detected. my car has 91,300 miles consumes excessive amounts of oil to a point of monthly oil changes. i received a recall notice and scheduled an appointment at staten island honda service center on sat. nov. 15. i was told that honda would need to keep the vehicle for 2 days in order to fix the sticking piston recall and the air bag recall. i rescheduled for thur. nov 19th 7:45 am so that i could get a rental car. i dropped my car off weds. nov. 18th at 6:30 pm, so that i could go to work on time the next day and honda accommodated me. however, i was told by the manager that i would not be getting the recalls repaired because i do not qualify for the air bag recall even though when i look up my vin # on the honda website it clearly states my car qualifies. i was also told that i would only be getting an oil change which i would have to pay for, they would need to monitor my car for 1,000 miles to see how much oil i consume. i explained that i had already consumed 60% in less than 4 weeks. i feel my vehicle is unsafe to drive my car rumbles on acceleration and jerks hesitantly while the oil light goes on spontaneously. i feel i am entitled to the recall repairs with no hesitance from the honda service center.

2008 accord ex-l (4 cyl) started making a rattling sound on cold-starts at approximately 80k miles. originally thought to be from low oil (seeing how this vehicle burns oil like it is its job), i always kept an extra quart on hand. after closely monitoring the rattle and having several mechanics look at it (including honda), no one could identify it until i had a mechanic at work look at it. i work for a fleet lessor. he identified it as the vtc actuator. i immediately called a buddy who is a parts manager for honda and he confirmed this was a known issue. a simple google search blew my mind! this has been a known issue for years and apparently has catastrophic failure results on engines! makes me feel really safe knowing that my accord has so many safety issues! premature brake/rotor wear, srs module failure (controls the air bag system), high oil consumption, inadequate battery cranking amps, transmission software recalls, etc. when this car dies, its gone and never to be replaced with another honda. honda refused to warranty my car for the recent oil consumption recall because i am beyond their 125k mileage threshold even though they have me on record of the issue going back to 60-80k miles! not a happy honda owner.

Suddenly after 68000 miles, my honda accord 2008 has a warning light saying srs faulty (error code 15-078). when i took it to dealer they charged me $134 to diagnose this problem and telling me that the fault is with seat belt sensor. so, they wanted $1300 to fix this problem. i believe this problem is related to their srs bag recall and is a safety issue with faulty seatbelt sensor. honda is trying rip us off as i see at least 69 people reported on thenet of the similar problem. this tells us that this problem is not isolated or driving related or damage by the owner, but a faulty part and faulty system. hence, i request nhtsa to look into this problem also and force honda to produce safer vehicles and fix the vehicles already in use and on the american roads.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as an internal srs failure and the air bag needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 129,853.

I have always had a love/hate relationship with my 2008 honda accord ex-l (4cyl). besides being recalled for the automatic transmission control module software update, premature brake/rotor wear (more than i care to count, honestly), battery/electrical issues, srs module failure that honda refused to fix/address/recall (i had to pay $600 out of pocket on that one), i am now battling with high oil consumption.... consistently. although, this has recently been voluntarily recalled for the issue, i am outside the 125k mile warranty term. i am currently at 172k miles. i religiously get an oil change every 3k miles. every 2k miles i need to add a quart of oil. this has been an ongoing issue since around 60k miles. honda and multiple mechanics confirmed there is no oil leak and honda insisted the car is not burning it..... despite what other mechanics have told me. yet, here i am "burning" a quart of oil every 2k miles. just recently, after a few minutes of driving and after about 1500 miles after an oil change, my engine started making a "pinging sound." then the oil pressure light started flashing. i immediately pulled over and turned the engine off to find that the oil (per the dipstick) was low again! i understand the car is getting up there in mileage but the thing looks brand new and i have always kept up on the maintenance. there is no reason it should be "burning" the oil as quickly as it is for as long as it has. very disappointed in honda not addressing the issue when i brought it to their attention several times in the past. now they issue a recall and cut the mileage off at 125k? like i said, love/hate. i will not be purchasing another one.

Car was hit in the rear and the passenger ( right front) airbag deployed. car was stationary when it was hit and the air bag deployed.

Several years ago back in 2011, when purchasing the car from another owner, still under warranty, l complained to the honda dealership about the car running out of oil miles before the next oil change at 3000 miles. i did not know where the oil was going, there were no leaks. i was told that there was nothing on record, and there was nothing that they could do. i left the issue, changed my own oil, because, l could not afford to have the oil changed every 200 miles. i had to add a quart every 1000 miles, until the limit was meet to change the engine oil completely. basically l left the problem alone. in august 2015, l received a letter from honda extending the warranty to 125,000 miles due the an oil consumption problem cause by bad pistons. basically a manufacturers defect. i contacted honda usa and was told that even though out of warranty, l should do a oil consumption test. i did this. the car burned 2.2 quarts in 1975 miles. it was determined by the dealer that the pistons needed to be repaired. on 10-23-15 at 11:47 am, honda contacted me and told me that since my car is now 8000 miles out of warranty, that there was nothing they could do, and the repairs was on me to do at my expense. i find this to be very troublesome since it is not an issue that l started, but it is a problem from honda, when the car was made. i am very upset over this, and l am contacting you to see if l have any grounds to fight this matter. i use my car for work, and l love in the south, and have to drive to work every day. so mileage does accumulate. however, this issue should not have been an issue had honda would have recognized this problem earlier or done something before the cars that were purchased in 2008, could have been covered since the time goes back the furthest. i thank you in advance for whatever you can do in this situation. attached is the letter from honda. *tr....updated 12/02/15 *bf' consumer stated that they will do nothing manufacture defected car is out of warranty. updated 05/22/18*jb

Rattling noise when i start my car i was looking and there's a lot a complaint an videos on the web with the same noise and is the same just when you cold started the car and i find out is the vtc is defective and i can affect the whole engine and there's no even a recall due the problem

I purchased a used 2008 honda accord ex-l 4 cylinder. unknown at the time that these specific model cars have a history of excessive oil consumption. although a class action lawsuit covered the v-6 models the 4 cylinder models were not. after purchasing before i even put 2,000 miles on vehicle it was almost out of oil with no signs of leaking. finally took it to dealership and had oil consumption test done in august 2015. they decided the piston rings were bad. they did give me a 10% discount on the repairs. shortly afterwards i received a warranty extension for 2008-2011 honda accords for 8 years of original purchase date or 125,00 miles. when purchased it had 135,000 and at time of repair 150,000. i tried calling dealership to complain since honda new about this problem long before the extension since they issued a service bulletin 12-087, 2012. this is my second honda i have owned and probably will be the last if they do not cover my repair bill of $1727.75. it is sad that a car company that makes a faulty car to take three years to issue a warranty extension that probably has about 50% of vehicles affected that do not meet the mileage criteria. honda should issue a recall. i am a working man with a family and cannot afford to buy a new car with less than a 100,00 miles and then have a $1727.75 repair bill that i had to max a credit card out on, not to mention the extra money spent adding oil every 1,000 miles before repair was completed. if honda cares about their product they should resolve the issue not issue an extension after most of the cars are over the criteria for the warranty extension. i will be submitting my paperwork to see if they will resolve my case. i surely hope so. i will never purchase another honda after reading all the complaints and the class action lawsuit.

Air bag light stays on . light will not reset. srs unit failure. replaced srs unit.

On the 3rd of september the door was closed, and all passenger side air bags deployed, my grandson was in his car seat, but suffered no harm. the car was parked.

I check my oil on a regular basis. my engine was not shifting as normal and stopped to check the oil level and after 2000 from my last oil change i had lost over 2 quarts of oil. i called my honda service department at jay honda where i bought my car and they said this was normal for my car and that there is nothing to worry about. i looked for leaks on the pavement around my car and there was none. the engine showed no signs of burning oil of any kind. the service department said this was normal for this car and that there was nothing at all that they could do.

The airbag indicator light came on while driving. my mechanic says that the airbag control module appears to be faulty and the airbags will not deploy in the case of a crash.

Our 2008 honda accord srs indicator is on which alerts a potential problem with the airbag or seat belt tensioners per owner's manual. we took the car to honda dealer. it took them hours and charged us $157 but couldn't find the problem. they ended up suggesting either we replace srs unit $603+tax, and if problem still present then replace the gauge control module $555+tax. hereby we're reporting this issue and hope honda will recall the vehicle.

The honda accord 2008 model started to clunk heavily in the front suspension when the weather was hot, anything above 85 degrees. when the front end was lifted or weather cooled, the sound went away. steering became sloppy and felt unsafe. this summer when weather was very hot, the clunk became very loud and metal scraping on metal was apparent, especially on start, stop and any bumps. honda issued a service bulletin dated sep. 17, 2013, bulletin 12-082 that describes this problem and attributes it to ball joints that become unlubricated in high ambient temperatures. of course metal on metal contact without lubrication in the ball joint quickly destroys the ball joint, affects steering adversely, fatigues the metal and could lead to breakage. i attempted to have honda north america pay for the repair of this part that they acknowledge is defective in their service bulletin 12-082, but they were not willing to pay for the complete repair. i had new ball joints put on and it steers well and clunking is gone. was not willing to let it go on longer and risk breakage at detriment to myself and family. this is a part that should be recalled/repaired at honda's expense and poses a safety risk.

I purchased new tires about a year ago. tires had less than 30,000 on them. back tires still had 90% tread but getting a vibration. took car to the body shop and was told that the rear end of my vehicle was badly out of alignment.. i could see it with my naked eyes. the problem is that the rear tires can not be aligned. there is no way to adjust the camber on the back tires, so no matter what you will always have vibration and alway unevenly where your tires. only way i can see to fix this, is to install adjustable cambers, but if this is a desig flaw and honda already acknowledged it with a service bulletin addressing there honda civics, then why should i have to pay for the fix. i am totally disgusted with honda.

2008 honda accord ex-l model i-4 engine (2.4l) started excessively burn oil in engine after 2,000 mile with new engine oil changed. after new engine oil changed, even the indicator of oil viscosity indicate 60% remain (honda has the system), when oil checked, oil volume shows under minimum oil level. it make me very worry about engine oil consumption so quickly as unusual to compare other cars in my experience. when i went to check any evidence of oil leaking at 2-different local oil shop, we couldn't find any oil leaking evidence. this is 2nd time that happened. this is unacceptable to the customer. one of my college has 2008 honda accord coupe (2.4l), he has same problem. he is change engine oil every 2,000 mile due to burning engine oil issue (no clue of leaking) i checked this issue via web site and find that the article " american honda settles class-action suit over oil-burning claim for honda v6 engine only" on automotive news (oct.22.2013) but unfortunately, the article says that accord vehicles with four cylinder engines are excluded from the settlement" i am wonder why honda accord 2.4l engine got this exclusion from engine oil burning so quickly. please investigate this issue on honda accord 2.4l engine asap. update 9/15/15*cw . updated 11/28/2017*cn

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving at approximately 55 mph and attempting to change lanes, an abnormal noise emitted from under the front of the vehicle and the check engine warning light illuminated. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that the transmission misfired and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v395000 (power train). the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Low oil pressure light came on for a couple of seconds. after a week of driving and still getting the low pressure light from time to time went to change the oil and the guy told me that there was almost no oil in the engine. since than i have to add a quart of oil for every 750 miles driven. that was since 2012... now i end up pouring 4 to 5 quarts between oil changes (6000 miles full synthetic oil).

My model year 2008 accord coupe ex model has been burning oil for a long time. a few years ago i had the tsb completed on it that reprogrammed the computer and was supposed to fix the issue. as of now the car is still burning oil and has developed a new problem. my check engine light is on with error code p0341 which is for the cam position sensor. this is with combination of a loud rattle for a few seconds coming from the engine bay when the car is first started. i am concerned to drive the car and hope that honda could diagnose and fix this problem for me. i believe honda extended the engine warranty to 8 years and 125,000 miles.

I purchased this vehicle in february 2015 and the issues which i have face are: poor(worn) struts, axle(output shaft) seal leak, vtc actuator which the dealer does not want to honor the warranty defect, and poor motor mounts. in addition, the struts caused one of the tires to pop due to a bump on the tire, and the passenger front tire had to be replaced because of the bump on the tire which again is due to the struts being bad.

Air bag malfunction light illuminated on dash , making airbag system useless. taken to dealer said the srs computer was bad , had computer replaced at a cost of 430.69. had to wait 4 days for parts because they were on backorder they must have a problem with these units, they should not go bad anyway, i think it is a defective part. i called honda customer assistance, they said basically it is out of the 3yr/360000 warranty and i am responsible for the safety equipment. i do not agree with this at all, seems to me they could care less about safety..updated 07/20/15 *bf

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving approximately 5 mph, the transmission shifted into the park position but the vehicle continued to coast. the contact shifted into reverse and noticed an abnormal noise coming from the engine. the contact was then able to park but when the vehicle was placed into the drive position, the engine shut off independently. the vehicle failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that the transmission and front mask failed needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 93,000. the vin was not available.

Excessive oil consumption 1 quart every 1000 miles was told vibration was heat shield. in reality vibration was due to low oil in engine. oil was changed by dealership m by jiffy lube every 3000 to 5000 miles. now being told engine needs to be replaced or just keep adding oil till engine fails.

My car rattles severely every time i drive it. i'm so afraid to drive my car because i feel unsafe. the vtc actuator is a problem that all 2008 honda accords have and costs so much money to not fix the problem. this issue is needs to be recalled. it can cause major car failure. i'm a hard working student that can't afford to keep paying for the car to be worked on with no solution. this is a huge problem.

When i apply my brakes i hear a grinding noise. it doesn't happen all of the time.. it is intermittent. i have taken it to the honda dealership twice and both times they have told me they don't see or hear anything that might be wrong. they drive it for about a mile. naturally, it usually happens on the weekend when the dealership service department is closed.

Pulled into subway sandwich shop, passenger got out of car shut door and passenger side air bags deployed.

Every single day when i start up my 2008 honda accord 4 cycl. automatic from a cold start there is a horrible noise (rattle) from what sounds like the engine. the honda dealership in waldorf, md has tried to fix this problem 3 or 4 times. now they say they won't try to fix it anymore, even though the problem still exists. i've been told by honda that it is the vtc actuator and it is a defective part. til this day 5/15/15, i have not been able to get the issue resolved. the problem started about a year after i got the car. it is the only annoying and unnerving problem with my honda. why can't this issue be resolved? i found all these complaints in the honda technical service bulletin and have been fighting this issue with honda ever since. obviously honda knows about it. at cold start-up, customers may complain about a loud engine rattle that lasts for about two seconds. the probable cause is a faulty vtc (variable timing control) actuator. this applies to all 2008 accord l4 (two/four door) vehicles, 2009 accord l4 two-door vin 1hgcs1€¦9a000001 through 1hgcs1€¦9a004953, 2009 accord l4 four-door vin 1hgcp2€¦9a000001 through 1hgcp2€¦9a029528, and 2009 accord l4 four-door vin jhmcp2€¦9c000001 through jhmcp2€¦9c010096. parts information vtc actuator p/n 14310-r44-a01 vtc oil control solenoid valve o-ring p/n 15832-raa-a01

Have had to have the rear brakes repaired twice since i have owned this vehicle. once at 57,000 miles and again at 140,000. while i realize that this is now a high mileage vehicle, the front brakes are still the original and when the rear brakes were repaired, the shop estimated i still had 70% life remaining for the front pads. the cost of the repairs at 57,000 miles were partially covered by a class action suit against honda at the time.

The air bag light on the dashboard came up around april 30th 2015 and in may 14th 2015 i took the vehicle to the honda service center in tallahassee. after a multiple points inspection the mechanic said that the "side curtain air bag" was non functional and replacement will cost $526.00. the vehicle has never been involved in any kind of accident or incident were the air bags could have been deployed. the mechanic was very careful not to say the air was defective. how a part that has never been used could be non functional? the honda people knows about this defect but want to pass the cost to the customer and when we can not afford that kind of sticker price they are putting our lives in risk.

Dear sir/madam, we have been complaining to honda motors about noise coming up first time when we start car in a day. the cranking noise is so loud that my wife and kids are worried about the car situation and feel very unsafe. the noise generally occur when we start car first time in the morning. we contacted honda motors last year and they recommended us to take it to dealership. we went to two dealership and they could not find any issue when they start car first thing in morning. this is very unusual as we have been hearing noise every single morning since than when we start car first time. we do not know how to resolve this issue? with some google search i found out that failure of vtc is causing similar issue to 2008 honda accord models. can you please guide us how to resolve this matter? we are worried about overall situation with our car for last one year. appreciate your assistance. thanks/[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My car was leaking fluid which i was unaware. my starter went out and the dealer said that the power steering fluid was leaking so bad if i did not repair it there could be an engine fire as well as damage to the alternator. he had to replace the entire power steering pump because he said that the leak was too bad to just replace the o ring and hose. i brought my car to moss motors in lafayette, louisiana for the repair. i believe that since i only had 70,000 miles on my car that this power steering system is an obvious defect and safety hazard. *tr

2008 honda accord: air bag warning light sensor activated and stayed on. local dealer in maryland advised the srs module needs replacement ($700 cost). dealer also stated they are "not sure if the air bags would work properly" without replacing the srs module. online research indicates numerous similar complaints involving srs modules that needed replacement as a result of an activated air bag warning sensor for the 2008 honda accords (ie. www.carcomplaints.com). based on this recurring issue, this item is believes to be a faulty/defective part that originated from the manufacturing process and directly affects the operation of the airbag system. this also means that the safety of the vehicle passengers and operators are in jeopardy and potentially face serious injury or death. on april 3, 2015 i spoke with a honda usa representative and informed them of the recurring issue. i suggested a recall and conveyed my concern for the safety of all affected operators. they advised i was out of warranty.

Approximately at 9pm 2 april 2015, my son was getting ready to drive home from work in his 2008 honda accord when his drivers-side airbags deployed hitting him in the head. there was no accident or side collision involved. he was parked in the clarkson public library parking lot. the safety recall on the airbags are only up to 2007. after this, then the recall should be extended to cover the 2008 models. *tr

I have noticed on 5 different occasions that when i apply the brake the accelerator is also activated. when i remove my foot completely off the brake and apply pressure to the brake pedal again it corrects itself. at first i thought it was caused by wearing my big snow boots and i was actually pressing both pedals at the same time. this is not the case as it has happened several times since then. i haven't taken my car in to the dealership yet because i know they won't be able to make it happen again for them. it happens at random times. *tr

Waved on as clear to go by the person looking the only way traffic could be legally coming; my wife proceeded to attempt to cross an intersection. unbeknownst to her and the person that waved her in an all clear manner was that someone was speeding down the middle or turning lane in the same direction that stopped traffic was facing and hit her at an estimated speed of 50 mph. he hit her front driver's side and spun her around striking the vehicle a second time. no airbags deployed and my wife was taken in a c-collar by ambulance to a local hospital. when the eye injury was discovered to be beyond the scope of the er team at the initial hospital she was transported downtown to a trauma center to have her eye evaluated for retinal tear or other trauma. no airbags deployed. not front or side curtain not passenger nor driver's side. my wife's head hit multiple times, door window twice and steering wheel to the best of her recollection. black eye and visual disturbance that has yet to resolve five days later. culpability aside i am concerned that the airbags on our vehicle did not deploy in a crash of that magnitude. .. updated 02/19/15 *bf.......updated 12/15/15 *bf *tr updated 9/21/2017*cn

I visited the honda dealership in sterling, va a couple of months ago and had to get my brakes replaced. at that time i asked if they could fix my back driver's seat..(my daughter who is 10 got into the car one day and kicked the back seat by accident with her foot and it fell) i was told they could fix it and they could do it that day because they had the plastic clips in stock but it would cost an additional $197.00 (i can't remember exact amount) but i told them i was paying a lot of money already for replacing my brakes and i couldn't afford right now and told them i would be back. the guys tried to get the clip to hold (and i was very thankful) but as soon as i pulled out of the dealership it fell again. i was very happy with the service and there was one man in particular who was very helpful and i wished i had his name to tell you. so, i had an apt today at 9:15 and got there at early at 8:50. the guy finally came back to me about 10:30 or so and said they couldn't fix the back seat because the way this was built wasn't done properly and these this will just keep breaking. he said i would have to replace the seat back and the cost would be $335.00 plus tax and shop supplies. really? i said then why wasn't i told this when i was here a couple of weeks ago. why do i have to pay for something that is a defect in the first place? he said sorry i just fix the cars i don't make them. he was very nice a polite but i don't feel i should have to pay for this at all. i asked him .... why didn't you tell me when i was here before and he replied because of my money restraints. that makes no sense!!! why before you can just replace the plastic clips and now all of the sudden you have to replace the whole back panel. i don't know what is going on but i would like for someone to call me and talk to me about this situation. i am not a happy customer. *tr

Departing a parking lot at low speed, i made a turn to the left and heard a loud rattle from the engine. i stopped at the service station up the road and checked for obvious loose parts. checked the oil and found that the level barely registered on the dipstick, indicating approx. 2 quarts low. i added oil and verified that the level was full. at no time did the engine oil light illuminate. since that time i have had to add one quart of oil approximately every 900 miles. i notified my honda dealer and was advised to have them perform a software update. the update was accomplished but the rate of consumption has not changed. honda dealer advised me that this rate of consumption is considered normal. considering that this engine holds 4 quarts and that the average oil change interval is 4,000 miles (according to the honda maintenance minder software), this means that i am replacing the entire contents of the crankcase between each oil change. i was then advised that honda can perform an oil consumption check that would require me to come back to the dealer every 1,000 miles (+/- 50) for approx. 1 year. after that time, honda would determine, based on the results of the tests and the age/mileage of my vehicle, whether they would take any action. this is clearly a defect in the engine, as i change my oil when indicated by the maintenance minder and can produce all the records to prove the car has been serviced properly. i seek the appropriate correction of this problem by honda. *tr

Air bag light came on intermittently, then stayed on. when to honda dealer in yorba linda, ca. dealer tested srs system, no errors on diagnostic code. only thing dealer said was to return and leave car for several days, that they had no idea what is causing this. dealer also said would be at my expense if they found anything wrong and for time to investigate. i have not returned. *tr

I pulled over to let my son out of my 2008 honda accord vehicle, he was sitting in the front passenger side. when he closed the door the passenger seat and passenger curtain airbags deployed. once i realized what they were, i got out to check on my son because i thought we had been hit. there was no vehicle or exterior damage to my vehicle. the next business day i took my vehicle to a honda dealer. it was inspected and photos were taken. after a week of no direct ansewers from this dealer, i decided to contact american honda. another inspection was scheduled and they determained that there was "rim damage" (caused from parking too close to the curb) and that could have "possibly" caused the airbags to deploy. i was not parked next to the curb when the airbags deployed and i have to disagree with there finding. *tr

Recently i noticed that my engine is consuming more and more oil. i routinely get my oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles as suggested in the manual. this last time, i was at the 2,000 mile mark when my oil light flashed; i say flashed, because the light did not stay on, rather it would go on only when i turn a corner. clearly there is an issue as a class action lawsuit has been initiated by people who had to repair this defect themselves. first, consumers should not be responsible for spending hundreds of dollars a year to maintain oil in their car due to honda's error. second, this issue can cause the engine to freeze/lock-up while operating which is a major concern while driving. i do not drive excessively either, i have a 10 minute commute to work. my car should not be burning oil this quickly. this is the second honda i have owned, my first was a 2004 and i never had issues with the oil. in fact, i would not receive a low oil notification until i was at 10,000 miles. hondas have the reputation to last a lifetime; however, if this continues, i will be forced to purchase a new car that i cannot afford due to their error and refusal to acknowledge that this is a problem. *tr

The paint on my black 08 honda accord is beginning to peel on the hood. it just started this week and is about the size of a 50 cent piece or a bit larger. i understand that honda is not interested in correcting the problem. my 1998 civic never had this problem even after 224,000 miles and 12 years. what a shame the honda corp is under an obligation to take care of the problems that they create but without a class action suit i doubt that we will see any help with this problem. *tr

Air bag light came on and stayed on. when local honda dealer checked it out was told that there was an internal failure of the srs control unit. was told it needed to be replaced. when asked what caused it, was told that if the car was not in an accident they didn't know. the car had not been in an accident. am planning to have it replaced but with the recalls of this part in older models, felt as if i needed to report this defect in case it turned out to be a problem in other models of this car. dealer was notified. *tr

Loud noise from rear brakes. squealing, so pulled over. then drove 8 miles home. now in 2015 at 33000 miles on the odometer, i've had to replace the rear pads three times, had slides repaired and lubed, two sets of rotors, and now a rear caliber that honda replaced because i still had a warranty on them. they where found to be seized yet again 12/10/14 after being seized and serviced 5/12/14. each time i'd notice a smoking or weird noises coming from the rear brakes and then would schedule an appt.honda should recall these rear brakes or offer some kind of brake upgrade. *tr

On 12/22/2014, my 2008 honda accord lx (which has 98,300 miles on it) was towed into my local honda dealer. the reason for my having it towed into my local dealer was due to the fact that my engine failed while driving on a residential street drive two miles from my home. there was absolutely no indication whatsoever that my engine would fail as the check engine light did not go on, there was no oil light illuminated, etc. thus i was shocked when i was driving and tried to give the car some gas and the car did not accelerate €“ thus i rolled to the side of the road and contacted a towing company. the service representative contacted me via phone and let me know that there was no compression in cylinder 2 and that i likely needed a new engine. the initial estimate would be $6,000 for a car with a blue book value of $6,500 (dealer trade in.) i have all service records and faithfully serviced my vehicle at the honda dealership. the service rep also explained that i was low on oil and i reviewed my receipts to determine that i changed my oil 2600 miles earlier. i am hoping that honda will provide goodwill to repair the vehicle as a 6 year old vehicle with 98000 miles on it should not need a new engine. *tr updated 3/10/16*js

This had to be replaced. it cost $607.02.

I cannot find out is these air bags are defective. the dealer will not offer any information and says they have heard nothing from honda. am i driving a time bomb? as of this writing nothing has happened, this car has never been in a crash yet only has 24,000 miles on the car. *tr

Airbag passenger light kept staying on longer and longer, eventually turns off. at 114,xx light stayed on then soon after airbag light indicator on dash was illuminated. there are no accidents on the vehicle. no repairs or modifications to affect system. i took the vehicle to dealer since it was out of warranty by 3 months. i did tell them about the intermittent issues but assumed all was well. they did a diagnostic that took well over 4 hours to isolate the possible issue. dealer's response; after pin testing fuse box found bad pss fuse/ relay box. was told to sign a waiver to drive my own vehicle out the lot. the entire airbag system is down and will not work until repaired. i was in shock to know that if i had an accident my family and i could be in grave danger, they said they have no idea how long it could of not been working. i called honda america to complain case# n012014-10-0900059. they said the car is too old and out of warranty for them to cover the repair. i have since parked the car and have'nt driven it since. this is our 7th honda and never would expect this type of service or reliability on this vehicle. *js

I was driving home from work and just pulled through an intersection when while i was accelerating i heard a loud rattling noise. i didn't think anything of it until i heard it again. when i got home i decided to check my oil level and found that there was practically no oil on the dip stick!! i put 2qts of oil in the car and the next morning took the car in to honda service. the rep informed me that it was normal for a 2008 honda 4cyl to require a qt of oil every 1 thousand miles. really? this is not a 1975 car!! he said that this was within honda specs. maybe honda make up a story and stick with it specs but that is not normal for a newer car!! i know that there was a fix for 6cyl models but honda needs to address this issue for 4cyl models as well. my engine could have seized on me costing thousands to repair. i was told by the rep that i can have the dealership do an oil consumption test. i must bring the car back in 1000 miles. this is nonsense. go to car complaints.com and see that vehicle owners have been experiencing this issue for years. if nothing is done to correct this issue this will be the first and last honda i buy. *tr

Air bag warning light was coming on intermittently starting on approximately 10/6/2014, became permanent 11/02/2014. during that time span side airbag off warning light came on several times for several minutes then turned off and has stayed off excepted when car is turned on and car runs thru diagnostic routine. had car serviced on 11/13/2014----honda tech indicated code of 1018, per tech-indicates open or short in system, he was not sure where failure is--and not sure what fee would be to locate and repair failure. said it could run into the $100's just to locate failure. considering my side airbag light off light came on and the investigation into sideair bag deployment and recall of tanaka airbags i will wait to see decision and see if srs light comes on for a more precise diagnostic at my next visit to honda dealer. *tr

My mother's car is garage kept and only has 31,000 miles. i haven't driven her car in years and when i did the other day i noticed that the airbag light was on and did not come off. she is elderly and she thought that it was her seat belt light. i took it into honda dealer right away because of all of the recalls going on. they said that it would cost $517 to fix the restraint control unit for the airbag. explained as little computer to tell the airbags when to deploy if in an accident. if not fixed airbags will not deploy if in an accident. shouldn't this be covered under warranty or considered in the recalls! now i am seeing complaints about this all over the net. so now what? and will this be included with all of the massive airbag recall problems? at first we were told that the recall did not include this year and model....i beg to differ. *tr

Around december 20th, 2012 i started to notice a decline in mileage with my oil changes. it has only gotten worse from there. the car burns up so much oil at this point so quickly, i would say that at about every 1000 to 2000 miles i am putting 4qts more of oil into my engine because it has all burned up. i have also notice that my oil light never comes on during this time. the only way i know that i have no oil in my car is by checking it myself and/or when i start to hear the cylinders grind. i took my car into honda and asked them why my oil was getting burned up so quickly and they fed me a line of nonsense and told me it was because we sit in traffic so much. they basically were trying to get rid of me and tell me it was normal. after that experience i went to a jiffy lube a month later to get my oil checked again and when i brought it in they said that there was nothing in my engine that i had no oil in my car whatsoever. honda refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem with my car. even with the excessive oil use. another problem i had is with the vtc actuator and i am starting to wonder if the two are intertwined. *tr

I got out of the passenger seat of my 2008 honda accord and closed the door shut. upon the door closing the door the side impact airbags on the passenger side of the vehicle inflated. the curtain airbags and the seat airbag was deployed causing ear pain to my fiancé who was getting things from the backseat. i have reached out to honda and was told that it was not their fault and basically given the runaround. i have researched this particular incident with this particular honda model and notice there is an open investigation by the nhtsa. i hope this can help move the process of a recall along. *tr

I bought my 2008 honda accord new. recently at 80k miles, the srs light will stay on all the time when the car is running. i brought the car to the local honda dealer and they told me the srs module need to be replace and the cost for it is close to $500. i just feel ridiculous because the car had never been in any accident before and how come the airbag system just fail just like that. american honda should cover this under the warranty. and i do believe they have a defective srs unit. please go over with the airbag problems and you will see the same exact problem happened to may people. someone needs to take an action and let american honda to take action before someone get hurts. not everyone can afford to fix this out of their pockets and many of them just let the light on/ srs airbag system off without fixing it. *tr

I was grabbing my books out of my passenger seat and when i closed the door my side top airbags and passenger seat side airbag completely deployed! i went online and found many different cases of people closing there doors of 2008 honda accords and airbags going off. i just bought this car it is in brand new condition and now i have to drive around with deployed airbags it 1) looks ridiculous and 2) is completely unsafe because godforbid i actually get into an accident with them deployed! i think it is absurd if i have to pay 5,000 for new airbags for simply shutting my door a little too hard!!! *tr

I have a 2008 honda accord. while the car was parked, but running, the front passenger door was shut slightly harder than normal, and the side curtain and seat airbags deployed on the passenger side only. there was not a side collision or evidence that the car was hit. i took it to gillman honda in houston tx and paid $125 for a diagnostic test. they said the sensor for the side airbag went off (code f4-11) and it wasn't covered under the extended warranty. i made a claim with honda usa. an inspector came and claimed he noticed previous damage (scrapes) to the undercarriage of the car and even though the airbags didn't deploy then, that may have caused it. i told them my concern is that the airbags deployed so sensitively and i have a 3 year old child. i don't want him to get injured. how can i ensure it won't happen again. they responded the reason the airbags deployed was inconclusive and it would not be covered. *tr

I have had it with this car. and i have had it with honda. we purchased this car around february of 2013, and it didn't take me a week to start feeling this sharp pain in my back. it was at that time that i realized that the driver and passenger seat had both been manufactured in such a way that causes my back to feel extremely uncomfortable and painful. the only way i can describe the issue is that the seats have faulty lumbar support. even when the lumbar support system is fully deflated, there is a massive lump at the bottom of the seat back that pushes my lower back outward, not allowing my upper back, neck and head to rest properly on the seat. it is to a point where driving is now getting more and more painful and it is affecting my daily drives. i find myself driving agitated, in pain and feeling like i'm in an extremely awkward position. it is even causing me pain even when not in the car now. it's getting out of hand. i've tried multiple seat cushions and seat adjustments. nothing can fix this issue. it's uncomfortable, it's painful and it is dangerous. honda of america has yet to offer me anything and are gladly pushing me around. i need out of this car, i need out of a honda. this isn't the only issue i've taken up with corporate and received absolutely no type of assistance. i have lost complete confidence not only in my car, but in the honda brand itself. i need help. *tr

Purchased a set of four new hankook ventus v12 evo tires back in june 2013. i drive very little- have only 30k in my '08 vehicle. i was planning a road trip this month & of course did all that was necessary including a vehicle checkup. after driving about 2 hours on the highway (w/ a break after an hour, which included another vehicle checkup), the steering wheel starting shaking violently & i saw smoke coming from the side of my car through my side view mirror. pulled over to find that one of my tires was completely blown out & the side wall was torn. i was in complete shock. these were new tires- only a year old, with considerable tread on them. there was no reason for it to get blown out like this. called aaa for roadside assistance & they had to put a spare tire on. i was hundreds of miles away from home & from my destination & there were no tire shops open in the area. had to drive close to 100 miles, in the middle of the night with the emergency lights on at 50 mph to get to a 24 hr tire shop. first shop didn't have my tire size, but second one did. tire was inspected & there was no other damage or adverse objects found with the tire other than the sidewall being torn & the tire blown out. had no choice but to pay for a new tire (they had no used tire), since i was still hundreds of miles away from home & my destination, & i couldn't keep driving with a spare tire on. i ended up paying a hefty fee for the new tire & other charges. i initially paid a very high amount, for what i thought were quality tires from hankook, apparently i was very wrong. after this experience i will never buy hankook tires again. *tr

My vehicle was hit head on by a pickup truck. the whole front end of my vehicle was damaged. the front passenger airbag failed to deploy. the driver side air bag did deploy, however i have a first degree air bag burn on my right inner wrist/ forearm. my vehicle was determined to be a total loss. i received a vehicle report on my car after the accident and found that the nhtsa has issued 1 safety related recall notice on my vehicle in the past involving power train: automatic transmission : control module. this recall began on 7/31/2011. i purchased this vehicle on 2/1/2012. i should have never been sold this vehicle until it was inspected and repaired. *js

My husband and i along with my two daughters got in our 2008 honda accord on monday afternoon, my husband was the last one in. he got in the front passengers side seat and when he shut the door the side airbags deployed! my oldest daughter was in the seat behind him and when the airbags deployed it hit her in the face causing burn marks on her face and neck and also she has some loss of hearing in her right ear and a constant ringing in her ear! we contacted our insurance company they said they could not help us! we then contacted our local honda dealer where we purchased the car and they said sorry no recall on your car and its not under warranty but when i explained my daughter was injured their attitude changed and were told to call american honda and tell them what happened! at this point we were told to drive the car to our local honda dealership for them to run tests on the car to see why the airbags deployed! now it is just a waiting game i guess!....updated 07/31/14 *bf updated 03/17/2015 *js

My 2008 honda accord has never been in an accident. while operating the vehicle on city streets, the air bag light spontaneously came on in the instrument panel. car was taken in for diagnostic evaluation and i was told that there is a srs system failure- meaning the air bag system does not work. to replace would cost $487 or i could operate the vehicle knowing that the air bags would not deploy if i were in an accident. i called honda to explain that this is a safety feature that has failed at 86,000 miles and should be covered. i was told that the vehicle is not covered after 36,000 miles. i was also told that my vehicle is not included in their most recent recall of air bag problems. *tr

I purchased this car last year and it had over 150000, as i checked the oil i noticed it was low i have added 1 qt in between every oil change. my second problem was during the winter on the real cold days the starter sounded like it was hanging up as described as the vtc actuator. my third problem is the warning light on the dash for the air bag has illuminated. i contacted honda today and they told me the light only comes on after it has been to the body shop? also i have received a claim form for a reimbursable deployment prior to feb 13 2014. i have not been in a accident and neither has the car. so if there is a claim for the air bag deployment why isn't there a recall for the air bag? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would make a loud noise intermittently when shifting gears. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that a bearing or a race was defective. the vehicle had not been repaired. the contact was made aware of recall nhtsa campaign id number 11v39500 (power, train). however, the vin was not included on the recall. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 55 mph suddenly the rear driver's side wheel well was engulfed in smoke. the vehicle was taken to a repair facility. the mechanic stated both rear brake calipers were stuck in the rotors. the mechanic stated that the rotors, brake pads, and brake calipers needed to be replaced. the manufacturer and dealer were notified of the failure. the vehicle was repaired. the failure mileage was 25,000. the current mileage was 152,000.

I noticed my car was making a strange noise when i first started it up. i took it to the honda dealership in roanoke virginia, and they told me i was running the car without oil. they filled it up for me, and change the oil filter. not even 3000 miles later, the car was making the same noise. i looked up on the internet forums and found the oil consumption concerns. i brought this up to the service manager at the roanoke dealership, and he dismissed it. he said it is common to put a quart of oil in the accord about every 1000 miles. i am in sales, and i drive about 900 miles a week. when this was first brought to the dealerships attention, i was just over 40,000 miles, and i was still under the factory warranty. i repeatedly brought this up to the same service manager, and he said he can do a consumption test, but it will take many miles to complete. he reassured me there was no problem. i bought this car based on its reputation of being a long-lasting vehicle with very few problems. now knowing the honda/the roanoke dealership is lying, my trust in honda has been shaken. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, it would not shift into gear. the vehicle was towed to the dealer but they have not diagnosed the failure. nhtsa recall campaign number 11v395000(power train ) was related to the failure; however, dealer stated that the defect was not related to the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 79,300.

When starting honda for the first time during the day or after it has sit for a while, it makes a noise or rough start up. i have done some research and found out what the issues is, it is vtc actuator. i have read numerous complaints about this issue. if i had known at the time that this was going to be an issue i would not have purchased this vehicle. but the sales man knew when to start the car away from us, didn't find out till the day after the purchase. we bought it used. the part is a bit pricey and honda should be responsible for this charge, since it is not the first car that has had this issue. it seems to be a bad year for the accord. i would like this to be fixed. *tr

I have noticed that i am in need of oil changes more frequently than in the past. historically, i went every 3,000 miles. now, i notice the vehicle gets "sluggish" around 2,200-2,500 miles. i get an oil change, and everything is usually good..... for about another 2,200 miles. the vehicle is driven daily all open highway. 2 weeks ago, i got a full service oil change from a dealer. on 5/19/14 my check engine light went on, the vsa light, and the (!) light. i immediately pulled over and checked that all hoses were interact, i could not hear any air leaks, etc. i checked the oil stick and it was essentially bone dry! (the engine was warm) no oil slicks puddles in the driveway, parking spaces, nothing! i immediately put 2 quarts in at the gas station, fresh gas, and the everything turned off! is it possible to be burning oil that quickly? i hope not! i'll be monitoring this closely. *tr

General concerns. however i am concerned about the airbag, engine and brakes problem especially. honda has not made us aware of any problems with this vehicle. thankfully we have only had premature replacement of brakes. we are aware of consumer complaints only because we are concerned about our product which we assume to be safe and reliable . you can rely on our qualitymaintenance program, we have been alerted by mail of a pending suit we cannot benefit from class action because we have no incident to report. honda corporate and dealers owe us consumers true and fair information and timely communications . gmc had to kill people before they were found to be irresponsible. consider this a complaint about brakes, failure to take responsibility, failure to notify, regarding other possible problems especially airbags. *tr

While driving, the side curtain airbag deployed with out there being any collision. *js

Car burns excessive amounts of oil. known problem with piston rings. honda refuses to address issue. *tr

On or around the 21st of november, as my family and i were getting out of the vehicle, the passenger door is closed and the air bags suddenly deploy. no impact on the car, no accident - in fact the car was parked. i called american honda corporate offices and was advised to take the vehicle to my local dealership. i went ahead and took it to hudson honda in west new york, nj. my local dealership discovered that i had hit a pot hole 2 weeks prior to the incident. i was told because i had hit the pot hole 2 weeks prior that was the reason why my air bags deployed. i called my car insurance company and was advised that this was impossible. i would have had to have an impact in order for the passenger side curtain and torso air bags to deploy. i called american honda again today and was told again that the reason why my air bags deployed was because they discovered i hit a pot hole 2 weeks prior to the incident. i have read other complaints from other consumers and would like my complaint to be fully investigated. honda is saying i will need to come out of pocket at almost $4000 to fix the air bag. why will i need to come out of pocket when i did not have an accident? i believe that this is a honda issue and not a consumer issue. in the interim i am speaking with my car insurance company to do their own investigation of the incident. *js

While entering my vehicle all of the passenger side air bags deployed when the front passenger closed the front door. as a result my daughter received facial and ear injuries. my daughter was sitting in the back passenger seat. my car was started and in park. after this happened i researched on the internet and found dozens of other frightening incidents similar to mine reported involving 2008 honda accords. the next morning as soon as the dealership where i purchased the car opened i called the manager and was informed to immediately bring it in which i did. my daughter is experiencing headaches and ear ringing sensations. i have scheduled a doctor's appointment for her to be seen tomorrow morning. *tr

Summary: there was a premature failure of the srs module in my 2008 honda accord which, according to a local honda representative, renders the airbags useless in a crash or can cause premature deployment. the airbag light was on as well as the engine light which the dealership mentioned they were both related. charging a diagnostics fee when i had already performed the diagnostics through work and associated partnerships (fleet management provider and maintenance vendors). i had to pay out of pocket close to $640 for parts and labor. seems silly as this was a safety related service. my engine light was on about 4 months ago and they said the light was on due to my cadallic convertor, so they replaced and now the engine light is back on and this is due to airbag issue. *tt

I stopped my car to let my boyfriend out of the car. when he closed the passenger side door the side curtain airbags were deployed as well as the one out of the passenger seat. there was no impact to my car whatsoever, no dings, dents or damage. he just closed the door. *js

Despite the recall a few years ago, honda still ignores the problem of rear brakes that wear out rapidly and therefore require frequent replacement. at just over 91,000 miles, i now have to schedule my 3rd rear brake replacement and it will be the second time that i must replace the rear rotors. honda refuses to acknowledge that their rear brakes are flawed and seem to not feel obligated to correct them. they also do not feel as though they should offer any financial assistance for the replacement of their substandard rear brakes. we are therefore forced into high rear brake and rotor replacement bills. perhaps it was their plan all along to bilk unsuspecting customers. this is a serious safety issue that honda needs to remedy immediately. *tt

My air bag light stays on. my passenger airbag light that says "off" is always illuminated. recently, my "side air bag light" stays on for about a minute after my car is on. it did not do this before. *tt

There was a premature failure of the srs module in our 2008 honda accord which, according to a local honda representative, renders the airbags useless in a crash or can cause premature deployment. at the time, my wife was pregnant and drove 100 miles roundtrip (highway) daily to work. i needed this part addressed asap. multiple honda dealerships refused to service the vehicle in a timely fashion (inside a 2 week window), would not offer a complementary vehicle, and insisted on charging a diagnostics fee when i had already performed the diagnostics through work and associated partnerships (fleet management provider and maintenance vendors). honda refused to warranty the part and i had to pay out of pocket close to $500 for parts and labor. seems silly as this was a safety related service. *tr....updated 12/15/15 *bf updated 7/06/17 *cn

My honda accord 2008 ex model's passenger side curtain air bag took off without any impact which it was getting parked by a vale driver. there was no damage any where to trigger the same. this occurred when the vale driver parked my car and shut the door of the car. air bag took off and injured the person. geico did the repair and could not find any reason what could trigger the air bag. i took my car to honda dealership (huntington honda) and they also could not find the reason. garage denied the claim and no one is able to give confidence that this will not happen again.i have several pictures and detailed report and like to share if there is any way to do that. *tr

Vehicle sun visor, when being lowered, snapped and something inside appeared to break rendering the visor unable to return to the up position. same thing happened about two years ago to the drivers side visor and this is the passengers side. i replaced the first breakage myself at a cost of about $90 for replacement. i am getting tired of replacing honda's poorly designed safety equipment. vehicle is a 2008 honda accord lx-p. this is a well maintained adult driven car which was bought new. my sixth new honda and maybe my last. honda says not covered except for three years initial warranty. one breaking may be a fluke but when both break within two years, poorly designed part. when partially in the down position, they create a distracting and potentially dangerous condition. *tr

8/11:certified pre-owned purchased from honda dealer at 35787 mi oil changes: 3/15/2012: 41659mi; 9/6/2012: 48687mi 7/1/13: 54340mi-oil pressure warning light and rattling noise appears;vehicle immediately taken to suburban honda dealer (farmington hills, mi);no diagnostic codes given. only explanation was the oil level was too low and the noise disappeared when oil was filled. no explanation for suspected leak/excessive consumption despite last oil change being just 6000mi back 3/18/14:oil pressure warning light flashes once and car was not started until i made an appointment with suburban honda on 3/20/2013 3/20/14: 62450 mi- within 0.25mi of my way to dealer, the oil pressure light flashes in the middle of a signal intersection and engine fails amidst heavy traffic thereby, compromising my safety. on 1st notice(7/13), dealer completely neglected my concerns for oil leak/malfunction which led to massive engine damage (estimate $8000). negligence led to engine failure on road causing massive compromise to my safety. death could have been imminent if my car stalled on a freeway. honda has a design flaw resulting in excessive oil consumption noted by multiple customers.dealer did not recommend an oil consumption test despite oil levels reaching critical levels within 6000mi of previous oil change.i was informed accord consumes 1 quart of oil/ 1000mi and since my mileage was beyond honda limits, i'm to be held responsible. dealer mentioned that €œapology€ is what they can offer and that €œno cost will be on dealer since it is not their responsibility€. official rep of american honda stated that this is purely a maintenance issue and that they do not possess ownership of dealer and have nothing to say reg irresponsibility of the official honda dealer. honda's design flaw&irresponsible dealers neglecting this issue could result in severe bodily injury or death. *tr

I bought this accord used with 95,000 miles on it. when i went to change the oil after 3000 miles, it was very, very low on oil. i might have taken two quarts out, maybe less. i started watching the oil consumption, which has gotten worse. i now add about 1.5 quarts every 1000 miles. it emits no blue smoke from the exhaust and has no oil leaks. it's getting worse. after owning a very reliable 2005 civic, this car has been a complete disappointment. my honda dealer won't even return my call (i've called them 18 times) and when i go in person, they tell me they will have to consult with the manufacturer's specialist, who only stops in the dealership every 2 weeks. i've going in person to ask about this 4 times. honda has offered a horrible customer service experience thus far. *tr

When i start my car (usually when it is off for 4~6 hours) it will make a screech noise. but if it has been off for less than that, then the car does not make the noise. i've taken the vehicle in today at the dealership and they said that the cause was the vtc actuator. the dealership is asking for an $800 charge to fix this. my car is now out of warranty. as of right now i understand that there is no recall from honda for this. i have done a google search on 2008 honda accord vtc actuator recall and have found that a lot of other people has the same issue as i do. *tr

I have had 2 blowouts within a 3 month period of my front drivers' side goodyear weatherhandler fuel max tires. i was fortunate that it was a smooth stop but i'm concerned that i had two in such a short period of time with the tires only being 2 years old. i had my car checked out, front end checked and no problems there. the inside rim of both tires were "dry rotted" per one tire guy and unexplainable on how it would wear like it did. *tr

I had a car wreck on 2/4/2014 between 10 and 1030 am. it was cloudy and drizzly and i crossed a 2 lane street when a truck hit me and took all the front fender off. the truck shaved all the front of my car. most of the damage was on the drivers side. i hit my head on window and my chest on steering wheel. no airbags went off, not the side one or the steering wheel one. my car was a total loss and my neck is been giving me some trouble some days more than others but mostly at night time. i went to see my doctor and she put me on muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory meds. i don't understand why the airbags didn't go off to protect me. *tr

Head lamps dim and flicker every few minutes while driving. i am an ase certified master tech and l! tech so i under stand the cause. honda uses a voltage sensing devise to turn off the charging system to lower the engine load sometimes and increase gas mileage. the problem is with the head lamps on the alternator can only be turned off briefly before the voltage falls too low and the charging system must turn back on. this leads to a constant flickering of all the lamps and sometimes confusion to other drivers who think you flashed your lights at them so they can turn left in front of you when really you did not. i think all these cars need to be reprogrammed to keep the alternator turned on when the head lamps are on, a simple fix that would make them much safer.

My fiancÉe got out of the car and shut the door on the right passenger side. when he shut the door, the air bags immediately deployed on that side of the car. no crash took place for this to happen.

My vehicle was parked at home and i was getting groceries out of my car and pushed the door shut with my behind. next thing i hear is a huge boom and i look back and my airbags on the passenger side of my car were completely deployed. my curtain airbags and my seat airbag both deployed. i went to the sam swope dealership at 1 swope autocenter dr, louisville, ky 40299 where i purchased my car and explained the issue to them. they told me that this happens all the time in 2008 accords and that they would take a look at it and get back to me. they proceeded to tell me they saw no default codes so it was not their responsibility to fix it and quoted me $5000 that i would have to pay out of pocket to fix it. i was angry and told them i would not stand for it and i wanted to speak with corporate. i had to then take my vehicle back to the dealership for corporate to look it over. a week or so later i received a phone call from the corporate office informing me there was absolutely nothing they could do and it was my responsibility to fix it. i was livid!!! i pay my car payment on time every month, pay for an extended warranty and gap insurance but obviously honda does not hold true to treating their customers the way they should be treated. i am 24 years old and single and do not $5000 just laying around to fix the issue, so i have been driving around ever since with no airbags on the passenger side. i truly hope the more people that come forward with this issue will get 2008 honda accords recalled. paying $400 a month for 3 more years of the 6 year loan i have is very frustrating when honda does not stand behind their products whatsoever. *tr

I had just returned from the store in my 2008 honda accord ex/l. i pulled into my driveway placed my car into park and exited the vehicle as i normally would. but to my surprise when i closed my door i heard a loud pop! i turned around and saw my car filled with dust i opened my door and realized my airbags have deployed. both driver side curtain airbags and the driver's seat side impact airbags were deployed. i didn't "slam" the door or close it any harder then i normally do. i took it to the dealer where i had purchased the car from and he told me i had to of slammed my door for all of them to blow off like they did "they don't just blow off on their own" " you slammed your door" i know how i close my door. i take care of all of my belongings. is what i replied with. the service writer told me i was looking at $6,000 to get them replaced. i don't have 6 grand sitting around so after many headaches and the dealer trying to scam my insurance company and getting mad that i tried to contact honda directly to resolve my issue they finally fixed my car....(it took them 2 months) and cost me a lot of money. i was given no help from honda even after i had found out that i was not the only person out there with this same exact problem. with that being said you'd think honda would do something about this. apparently taking care of customers and doing what's right has fallen low on the pole for honda. i can promise i will never purchase a car from honda ever again. *tr

I have the 2008 honda accord with the 4cyl engine and drive approximately 8 miles per day. within the last few months i have noticed significant oil loss in between oil changes. approximately 3-4 quarts needs to be added in between oil changes. there is not a leak to be found and i am not blowing smoke out of the tailpipe. upon additional research, i've found that multiple other owners of the exact same make and model vehicle are having this same issue. i've taken the vehicle to a local shop to have it looked at, but still don't have a resolve. honda just recently lost a class action suit regarding the v6 models, but still won't admit to the issue with the 4cyl model. i have had estimates anywhere from $500 on up to a complete engine overhaul, which is far more than i can afford. honda needs to take responsibility for this and fix the problem. i've owned many other honda's and this is the first i've ever seen do something like this. please help! thank you *tr

On thanksgiving night 2012, i went shopping and got back to my parents house around 11:00pm. i had gifts and food in the car and the power door locks locked on me automatically with me in it. i finally was able to open the passage door and got out. the car door locked again and i was not able to get into the car either by using the keyless entry nor by manually trying to unlock it with the key in the door lock. i had to let the food stay in the car over night as well as the other things i had purchased. i am so glad i did not have my niece with me. the next day, i had to spend $60.00 to get a locksmith to open the door. about 6 months later the automatic door locks that locks when you put the car in drive, keeps locking every time a make a stop and pull off again. this is driving me crazy too. this is truly a safety issue. i can only imagine if i had a child in the car, what would have happen. the local news featured a news story with a woman who is having the same problem with her honda crv about 3 months ago. this is a real problem that the honda manufacture needs to address either thru recall or extended warranty. enough is enough. *tr

Hello, i have a 2008, v4 honda accord. i started having problems back october 2012 with the oil. when i get an oil change, i would need to add at least 2 quarts of oil before the next oil change is do. it started off with adding oil the very next month after a new oil change! that is so ridiculous. the only way i would know that i needed more oil was there would be a burning smell coming from the car and a knocking noise. my oil light indicator would never light up-which is another malfunction. i took the car to honda for servicing and told them what the car was doing. they told me that they did not see anything and that if it persists to bring it back in. so immediately i?m thinking that maybe they are not changing the oil correctly?! so the next few months i kind of kept track of the oil and took my car somewhere else for the oil change to see if that made a difference. within the past year since then, i have had 4 oil changes with the other place and they did tell me that there is probably a honda malfunction going on because the car is not supposed to keep losing oil within oil changes and having to add oil!! i am going to take my car in again to honda and see what they are going to do. i just do not want to have the car engine blow up on me because of something honda should have repaired. if someone else has had any resolution to their honda place, please contact me at [xxx]thanks. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I came to a stop and my 15 yr son got out of the car and shut the passenger's side door and the passenger side airbags deployed. he was in a hurry so shut the door hard but i would have never expected the airbags to deploy. also, my front seat passenger's airbag deployed. i took it to honda dealership that i purchased it from. they said it was not a manufacturer defect. i filed a claim with my insurance company as instructed by honda. i then got a call that i was responsible for $100.00. i have now received a letter from my insurance company that it is a manufacturer defect and they deny my claim. *tr

Dealer replaced vtc actuator at 35000 miles now at 90000 miles and same rattle from vtc actuator. *tr

While walking towards my own vehicle with my 2 year old daughter, my fiance got in the driver side door of our 2008 honda accord and closed the door. right after he shut the door a loud explosion was heard. the side air bag (on the top and within the seat) had deployed. the car wasn't even started at the time. like everyone else honda does not find it to be their problem. my insurance is helping me investigate the cause of the deployment since there was no accident. i would really like to know how many times this must have happened before someone other than the consumer is held liable. i do not feel safe putting my daughter in the car if this is possible. *js

The entire passenger side curtain and passenger side seat airbag deployed when my boyfriend exited the passenger side and shut the door. there was no collision nor outside damage. the airbags just deployed as soon as the door shut. it is obviously a mechanical problem and a safety issue. honda refuses to cover for the repair. *tr

I noticed transmission fluid leaking from my vehicle. took my car to a trusted independent mechanic, who determined and documented the fluid leak is coming from a "split-case gasket", where both case halves bolt together. his opinion was that a transmission fluid leak is highly unusual on a low mileage honda and that he suspected a defective gasket that was improperly sealed, prior to leaving the factory. made an appointment with the service department of leith honda in raleigh,n.c., where the vehicle was originally purchased, on august 29th, 2013. the torque converter seal was found to be "leaking" and it would cost$ 1993.00 to repair, which the dealer would not assume. this is historically been a long standing problem with honda vehicles, which eventually causes transmission slippage, extensive transmission damage, loss of power, causing the vehicle to suddenly stop. this potentially can lead to severe injuries and death . i consider this problem a critical safety issue, well known to the manufacturer and dealers. i am appalled and outraged by honda's lack of integrity and apparent disregard fo public safety..i am sure it is related to their "bottom line" i respectfully am requesting your agency to investigate my complaint and to review other owners complaints and horrendous experiences, on line. please force them to acknowledge these defects and make them accountable to prevent future injuries and deaths, that likely will occur to unsuspecting honda owners.

My sun visor broke on the driver side and is now hanging and impairing my vision while driving. the internal mechanism that keeps it in the up position has broken internally. *tr

I bought this car pre owned at 15k the back brake went out on this car after 1year at 24k i replace brake myself i was curious why would a back brake wear out so fast on doing online lookup i found numerous owners had the same problem so i called honda regional office and i given a refund for the expense. now last year june i notice cold rattle start on my engine and now is progressively getting louder. i did a look up online and my mechanic said it vtc ( variable timing control ) actuator was found to be defective. i think honda should replace this since my car now has 80k miles i might be out of warranty. *tr

This was the second time my car accelerated for no reasons while i was driving. the first time i was only driving 35 miles an hour and no one was in front of me. the second time the car accelerated as i was stopping at a red light. i barely missed a car by one foot. both times i went to the honda dealership in sanford. long story short...no one knows how to fix it. i am extremely upset over the idea that there are all car owners with these electronic systems that don't work. the second time my three year grandson was in the back seat. the dealership said the electronic system sent a message that designated that there was an acceleration or malfunction. anyway i am sending this because i wanted my car fixed and because it is a paper trail if someone gets killed in this car. i will no longer own a honda. this was my second honda and until this i was very satisfied. i now have a car paid for that i cannot drive. i do want the public to be aware of this problem. [xxx] i don't have the vin number. my car is parted outside the dealership in sanford, n.c. waiting for me to pick it back up. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My wife and i purchased a 2008 honda accord (certified pre-owned) january 06, 2010. the mileage was 46,399. the honda dealer said the brakes were new. (certified pre-owned) we had to replace the brakes july 2011 at 53,096 miles. (6697 miles later) august 2012 we had to replace brakes rotors and calipers 68007 miles. at this time we were advised of a defect in the braking system by just brakes.. we contacted honda and they said since we were not the original owners and we did not take action sooner (prior 2010?) we would not be reimbursed for these repairs. (honda settles lawsuit over this matter??) we also had to replace the tires in august 2012 as well. since the repair of the brakes and calipers we have not had any issues and the gas mileage increased. we have spent hundreds of dollars trying to fix a problem that honda has known about. a "certified pre-owned" honda should qualify for the reimbursement that honda has offered, even though we were not the original owners. since we did not know about the "problem" until after 2010 (after the purchase of the vehicle) we could not had acted in time. it is my understanding there was a "safety bulletin" about this issue? if there was, why didn't honda/dealer notify us of this issue? or shouldn't they have fixed this issue before selling the honda as a "certified pre-owned" vehicle? i received a letter from honda yesterday about a defect (control arm) in the 2006, 2007 & 2008 honda civic and reimbursement available for this law suit. i would like honda to remedy the situation on my 2008 honda accord. *tr
