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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle made a rattling sound when cold started. the failure was similar to the failure referenced in honda's service bulletin number: sb09-010. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the dealer was not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.
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 ...
When i start the vehicle in the morning after it has set all night it rattles for about 3 seconds. this is a problem that has been on going.
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 ...

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 ...
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 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 ...
Check engine lit. engine room 1500--2000. computer indicate transmission sensor. i replaced it but doesn't help. removed minus battery. check engine disappears after 40 miles check engine appear again.
The vehicle has good compression, but a strange noise is coming from the engine. it is also losing oil while leaving no oil markings. the vehicle has never missed an oil change, and was getting one when the mechanics said that the noise meant that the engine had problems. multiple mechanics have told us to replace the v6 engine. the tire rods also need to be replaced, and the tsm light never goes off
My car is pulling codes 339, 303, and 302. misfiring and from time to time the check engine light flashes and won't go above 30mph. click link below for the information about a recall for all 2008 honda accord engines. http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/honda-service-bulletin-09-050/
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.
