2008 Honda Accord Other Problems

Your car caught fire near the passenger front wheel while parked in front of your home. The fire department was unable to determine the cause before the fire consumed the vehicle. Despite the car's age (13 years) and regular maintenance, this represents a serious fire risk that could have endangered your home and safety. Diagnosing the fire cause would likely require inspection of electrical wiring, fuel system components, and engine bay for signs of malfunction or damage.

Your car has three unaddressed safety recalls that were identified at the DMV. These recalls involve the airbag system (SRS), a nose mask component, and a secondary shaft issue on your 2008 Honda Accord. You should contact a Honda dealership to have these recalls serviced at no cost to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards.

You took your 2008 Honda Accord to a Honda dealership for a recall service, but the dealer refused to perform the work. The dealer claimed the recall only applied to new vehicles that came with a nose mask, without checking your car's VIN or verifying whether your specific vehicle was actually covered by the recall. This may leave you unable to get recall service completed at that location.

I have been told my vehicle is a lemon. I believe the regular maintenance schedule that I have been adhering to should somewhat avoid this issue. I have went to two Honda Dealerships, Ed Napelton and one in Orland Park il. THREE weeks ago I drove and parked came back attempted to start and my Baby would not start. I noticed when i attempted to turn the key the needle would go to the top. I waited a while the car started took her in to wd Napelton, They kept telling me nothing was wrong. They said I could leave because they did not choose to figure out why my vehicle had just not started, so I went to my car to leave and she did not start right their in the parking lot. I went and go my mechanic and he tried to start it wouldn't start, he looked at the dash and said your car is overheating. Im asking why it was just here for a oil change and some other work prior to that. I had file a BBB complaint. The director called ke in for a meeting with the mechanic and from what they are saying because No one has given me anything in writing, I was told to be careful driving and every week My coolant should be topped off. They did say the coolant is leaking into my engine. I got a 3rd opinion and honda ahould have goven me a detailed description of the diagnosis. The sales department is bothering me about buying my car, I told them NO, I need my cat I cant afford another vehicle. My gut is telling me Honda has done thia to my engine thinking I will have to buy another Vehicle. Please Help Me get a proper diagnosis and I need to know how this issue was caused? My last recourse is speaking with ATTORNEY.

SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR MORE COMPLETE EXPLANATION. HONDA SERVICE CENTER IS RECOMMENDING I INSTALL 2 NEW AXLES. THIS CAR 2008 HONDA ACCORD HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT HIT ANYTHING. COMPLAINT FILED WITH HONDA AND FTC. DETAILS IN ATTACHED DOCUMENT.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

IS MAKING A VERY LOUD RATTLE NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECOND AT COLD START-UP AS I SEE THAT IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CARS

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..

WATET LEAKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG

TAKATA RECALL CAN'T MAKE CONTACTS 1-833-619-7579 OR 920 238 6810 OR BY WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV TO FIND IF CAR IS FOR RECALL OR 1-888-327-4236

WHILE PLAYING MUSIC THE REAR DECK LID RATTLES REALLY BAD WITH THE BASS FROM THE MUSIC.

TRANSMISSION STALLING.

VTC ACTUATOR CAR MAKES RATTLING NOISE AT START-UP AND AT OTHER TIMES.

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.

WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR THE INTERIOR SUN VISOR MOUNTING UNEXPECTEDLY CAME LOOSE AND THE VISOR SUDDENLY DROPPED. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WAY THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON SOME TOYOTA VEHICLES AND SEVERAL OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES.

THE DOOR PANELS OF ALL ACCORDS IVE NOTICED THE INSIDE DOOR PANELS PEELS VERY BAD. I TOOK MY CAR TO MAACO AND HE SAID HE HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW LIKE THAT. IT COST ME 572.00 TO REPAIR IT WITH REAL LEATHER. AND THE LEATHER SEATS PEELS ALSO. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT MY CARS UP INSIDE AND OUT.IT UPSETS ME SO MUCH BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE SO PRETTY AND EASY TO MAINTAIN AS FAR AS MAINTANENCE

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????

DOOR LOCKS AND KEY FOB DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. HONDA SUPPLIED BATTERIES LEAKED. I'VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE MY CAR. DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK WHEN CAR STOPS AND ENGINE OFF. MUST USE TOGGLE , SOMETIMES KEY FOB TO OPEN FRCAR LOCKS FROM INSIDE AND CANNOT GET OUT OM INSIDE. WORKS CORRECTLY SPORADICALLY.,HAD TO USE KEY IN LOCK, NOT FOB, TODAY WHEN GETTING INTO CAR. TRUNK OPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN USING FOB. MUST HIT BUTTONS MANY TIMES BEFORE FOB RESPONDS. BAD BACK CANNOT BEND TO HIT FLOOR LEVER TO OPEN TRUNK.THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR STILL, ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON . LIGHT WILL NOT RESET. SRS UNIT FAILURE. REPLACED SRS UNIT.

OIL LOW AT OIL CHANGE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF/MOONROOF GLASS EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT IT. NO ONE WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME. I KNOW IT EXPLODED BECAUSE IT PUCKERED OUT ALMOST IN A VOLCANO SHAPE. GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE.

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.

THE CAR JERKS INTO GEARS ESPECIALLY 2ND! *TT

REAR BRAKE PADS COMPLETELY WORN ON 2008 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

THIS VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS DROP IN INTENSITY APPROXIMATELY EVERY 20 SECONDS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE IDLING OR GOING 70 MPH. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE LOSS OF LIGHTING AND FORWARD VISION WHILE UTILIZING THE HEADLIGHTS DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. IT ALSO APPEARS TO OTHER DRIVERS AS IF YOU ARE FLASHING YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM. I HAVE NUMEROUS HONDA VEHICLES AND NONE OF THEM DO THIS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE LIGHTS. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WHEN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. THE DECREASE IN LIGHT INTENSITY IS CONSISTENT WHEN THE RADIATOR FAN KICKS ON, DRAWING POWER.

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2008 AND THIS ARE 2ND RECALL FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. I HAD FIRST RECALL WAS REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM AND DIDN`T QUALIFIED GET REFUND FIXED PROBLEM. AND,NOW I HAVE 2ND RECALL NOTICE FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.,THERE ARE NOSE MASK PROBLEM.SINCE I HAD 1ST RECALL THAT MAY HAVE TAKE CARE OF MATTER FROM HONDA CO. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA CAR IN MY FUTURE AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND FREINDS ALL I REFER MY PEOPLE.THAT'S ALL I HAVE SAY AND EVEN I HAVE WARRANTY ON MY CAR I WILL NOT FIX IT. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD - 4 DOOR: AT APPROXIMATELY 7:47 AM ON FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 2010, I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN AN OPEN AIR LOT, WITH THE WHEEL TURNED HARD TO THE LEFT, I WENT TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS IF I WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY FOOT, IT WAS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. EVEN SLAMMING DOWN ON THE BRAKE DID NOT PREVENT ME FROM SMASHING INTO THE NISSAN XTERRA IN THE PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF MINE AND PUSHING THE SUV FORWARD QUITE A BIT. THERE WAS NO FLOOR MAT ISSUE OBSTRUCTING THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS SEVERAL INCHES AWAY IN ITS USUAL POSITION. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL BE THE ONLY FAILURE. I CALLED THE POLICE WHO FILED A REPORT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME TO GET AN APPRAISAL OF THE DAMAGE. NO ONE WAS IN THE NISSAN, BUT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO HIS VEHICLE AS WELL. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD, ROUTINE 25,000 MAINTENANCE AT DEALERSHIP. DEALER TELLS ME THE REAR BRAKES NEED REPLACING. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM IN 2008 ACCORDS. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
