  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

  TOOK MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE DISC/DRUMS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. MY CAR HAS ONLY 17693 MILES! I WAS SHOCKED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HONDA HAS A REPLACEMENT PART - 43022-TA0-A51AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT WAS PUT IN MY CAR. HONDA SPLIT THE COST. IF HONDA HAS A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE DEFECTIVE ONE, THEN THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD PAY ANYTHING. THERE ARE HONDA OWNERS ON THE ROAD UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE DRIVING WITH DEFECTIVE REAR BRAKES. *TR

  I was turning right on a very busy four lane street and the left front CV-shaft (axle) broke into. Thank goodness I had enough momentum to get off the street. Honda had a rubber damper on the shaft that trapped salt and water, thus rusting and weaken the axle. Hinda had a recall on later model Hondas, but not my year.

AT ABOUT 18,000 MILES, AND WITHIN THE 3 YEAR WARRANTEE PERIOD, WE CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING A PULSATION EXPERIENCED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED.

  MY HONDA ACCORD COUPE (2008) REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT ABOUT EVERY 15,000 MILES AS IT STARTS TO MAKE THE NOISE FROM THE SENSORS. MY CAR IS APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES, 1 1/2 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE CHANGED THE REAR BRAKE PADS TWICE IN CONTRAST TO THE FRONT BRAKE PADS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE CAR AND USUALLY DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ON THE DEALER AS THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL. THEY SAID THAT HONDA ENGINEERS WERE INVESTIGATING AS THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICING A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS WITH CARS HAVING THIS KIND OF ISSUE EVERY 15K TO 20K MILES. THEY ALSO SPECIFIED THAT IF A RECALL WAS TO BE DONE THEY WILL REFUND MY MONEY. THE INTEREST THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO LEAN TO THE FRONT WHICH WOULD MAKE YOU THINK THAT THE CAR USES FRONT BRAKES THE MOST RATHER THAN THE BACK ONES. BY OPENING THIS COMPLAIN I WILL LIKE RAISE AWARENESS AND IF POSSIBLE AN INVESTIGATION AS MY BELIEVE IS THIS IS NOT NORMAL. EACH REPLACEMENT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 100 TO 150 DOLLARS. *TR

  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.
