Accord Radio Replacement by jaharris

I have a 04 Accord Ex with a CD Changer in the dash.The lighting for the radio and heater controls has failed and Honda says the radio must be replaced for $650. The radio and heater still work. The car is 2 years old with 65000 miles. Any suggestions?

Your Accord is out of warranty, but I'd suggest calling, writing, or emailing Honda's zone office or whatever Honda entity might satisfy a reasonable complaint.
 
If your problem is common, Honda might be willing to absorb most or all of the repair cost. It's worth a try.
 
Let us know of your success--Honda (as well as other car manufacturers) will sometimes accommodate customers with repairs even beyond the warranty period. Isn't that why we buy Hondas? Because they're unlikely to have the kind of problem you're having?........Richard

I followed your instructions and all I found was the "Honda Accord Hybrid Problems & Solutions" Forum. The original forum that preceded this one is missing.

Cold weather and my battery by bmr123

I own a 05 Accord EX-V6. Seems like since the weather in jersey has been getting colder, the radio has been running very sluggish. When I'm flipping channels on the XM (which is great) and the radio, it moves very slowly through the channels and when the volume is increased. Did I get a junky battery or are other people noticing this problem?? In my old 00 EX-V6 I ran a 600 watt amp and never had a problem with the stock battery in any weather condition. Seems very strange to have this issue in a new car. Anyone have any input on this issue or have the same problem? I just don't want this problem to get worse and my car not starting or electrical issues.

I also just purchased a 2006 SE V6 ( for wife ) and noticed the rough downshift.....it feels as the brakes are on when decelerating not running freely.
According to the dealer that is normal for that tranny.
No vibration on my yet ?!
Also, car is pulling to the right and I am sure it is the crap Michelins Pilot HX MXM4....dealer is checking the wheel alignment this week and if that is not the problem he will replace the tires.
Other then this the car is great....very quiet....solid....no squeaks or rattles.
HP overrated at 244 HP.....my 330i feels so much faster !.....I know, I know it is the torque !
Regards,
Webby

Dealer inspection services by kanu

I have a 05 accord still under the warranty (6000mile). I look at the estimate costs on dealer service maintenance costs on the Edmunds, and majority of expenses are for labor inspection costs (~$200). My questions are:

1) I wonder how useful are these inspection? or they are just dealer profit. If I don’t feel anything wrong with the car, would you recommend to skip them and just do only the “real maintain” like oil change/ air filter, etc.
 
2) Does the warranty (and Honda care- extended warranty) require us to complete the inspection?.
 
3) If the inspections are useful, I might do them at 30000 miles services (skip 10000, and 20000 miles inspections). What would you think?
 
Thanks in advance

There is a difference between the "Recommended" maintenance schedule that the dealer suggests and the "Required" maintenance schedule that Honda states in the Owners Manual. In order to maintain your warranty you must follow the required schedule that Honda outlines in the Owner's Manual. Some people feel that the dealer recommendations go a little over the top. If you follow the Severe Driving Conditions schedule in the Owners Manual you can't go wrong. If you are handy and inclined to do so, you could probably do most of the inspections yourself.
