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 W

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING.

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 CONTACT

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" I DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THEREFORE MY TAKATA INFLATORS ARE APPARENTLY DANGEROUS. WE DRIVE THE CAR EVERY DAY, AND WE ARE CONCERNED. I CHECKED OUR 2008 HONDA'S VIN NUMBER AND DISCOVERED THAT ITIT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. WHAT DO I DO NOW?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE OCTOBER OF 2018.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V665000(AIR BAGS) IN 2015 REGARDING THE AIR BAGS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

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??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A RATTLING SOUND WHEN COLD STARTED.

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.

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.

HONDA WILL NOT FIX THEIR RECALL NOR DELETE THE RECALL. I NEED THIS RECALL OFF MY RECORD.

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 CUST

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

HAVE TO TOP OFF ENGINE OIL EVERY WEEK. DISCOVERED PROBLEM LAST YEAR WHEN OIL WAS ALMOST DRAINED OUT AND FEAR IT WILL DESTROY THE ENGINE IF NOT ADDRESSED.

AIR BAG INDICATOR CONSTANTLY SHOWING. SAFETY ISSUES & RECALLS WARNING AIR BAG MAY EXPLODE DEALER UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM . IT'S A GLINCH?

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.

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.

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

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.
