You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Hi all. I picked up my black 2008 V-6 Coupe on July 30th. Love the car. Had owned nothing but Honda Civics (vanilla 79 hatchback, 83 1600S hatchback, 87 Si hatchback, and a 99 dx coupe). It's evident that I have upped the power output exponentially with this purchase. All my prior Hondas were manuals but this time I opted for the automatic. I've read postings on this website and have had no complaints re. the car. I notice the VCM kicking in but don't feel it. Have had no weird noise issues or quality issues. I must admit when I first started reading the postings and problems here I was thinking "What the f*ck, this isn't the Honda I'm used to!" But as I said, I have had no problems with my car. Love the acceleration. Gas mileage is as advertised. Can't wait til my trip from Massachusetts to South Carolina so I can get a true read on the highway mileage. A little concerned about the stock Michelins and snow as I have a long (0.4 mile), unpaved driveway that is only flat for a 100 yards. May opt for winter tires in the future but taking a wait and see approach for now. Traction control should be big difference. (There were times in the past when I left the car at the top of the driveway!) Check with me in the spring  Keep Posting Will

I just recently noticed that my brake light came on, then after a short time it went out. I pulled up on the emer brake handle lightly and the light came on, I released the handle and the light went out. I noticed then that on a fast accleration the light came on and then went back out after a few momenets. I also noticed that the light came on sometimes with sharp turns. I have checked the resivoir and it is at the full line. I'm sure this light controls more than just the emer. brake. Can anyone help me out on this? Thank you RVH |

Replying to: oileboid (Jul 29, 2005 2:14 pm) Have you changed many Brake Master Res. Cap and Float? I have a light that comes on when I pull out and stays on for some time then goes out. If the light is on and I stop hard the light goes out then comes back on when I pull out. I think its the cap and float? I had a previous post and I was told that it is the cap and float as long as the level is where it should be. Is this cap and float an easy item to change? Anything I need to look out for? Thank you RV

I signed up for email notifications on this forum & got an email today! Woot! I'm Becky, have owned 3 Accords in my life, 1) Silver 1982 sedan, my first car when I was 16 (used, was my mom's) 2) 1986 white 2-door hatch back Accord when I was in college. 3) 1991 green EX sedan after college and up until 2 years ago - about 165,000 miles, a fantastic car. Replaced it with a gold 08 EX CRV with nav and feel like I'm riding in a luxury liner...
