I have found multiple websites with the same problem for the 2008, 2009 and 2007 honda accord, i cannot understand how it's…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.
