You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Man you would not believe what has happened to my auto. About some wks ago i put a post about the p steering pump. If you go back you will see what typed anyway as they took my engine out they found that the SOB'S who worked on the auto to put the pump on and a clerking sound from the pulleys tapped the bolt near the engine And drilled a hole to far in so what did i have after the fact a OIL LEAK!!! this is not honda's defect its a incompatent DEALERSHIP. I am HOT!!! yes i do not have to pay but dam you trust folks to fix your auto and look what you get. Well the dealership that has it its like 10 miles away from the factory where they make them and i will only deal with them to fix ANYTHING wrong with this auto. And purchase the new honda what do you think of this man this is a 1ST! ps. the post about this is 4617,4624,4625,4626, thanks.

| Well got the auto back yep they replaced the WHOLE engine block. Like i said this is a 1st the dealersahip who replaced it they are close to the plant in marysville where they make mainly all the honda's. So to me i am satisfied with the service i got from them anyware else HE... TO THE KNOW. I like this auto but im giving it up in march 010 no extended warranty on the tranny so its a 2010 or a 09 or pilot or a accord. | |
| Took my car into NTB and they said I need all 4 rotors and all 4 pads replaced. Car has 43k miles mostly city driving. I asked if they could machine the rotors and they said no. Price quoted was $500. I called a Honda dealer and they said the rotors should not have to be replaced as they are built to last 150-200k miles. He said they would probably machine them and just replace the pads. Price quoted was $445. What am I better off doing? thanks for any advice | |

Honda is noted for brakes rotors that warp. Don't know why they can't fix it. My 2007 wobbled when braking and they replaced the front rotors under warranty and said they were too warped to machine. And if you follow the mpg thread you know I brake very gently and my brake pad last a long long time, so I am not overheating the brakes. The problem is if you machine a warped rotor you are removing more metal from the high parts and making a rotor of unequal thickness. This will make it warp again even faster. I would absolutely replace the rotors for only $55 more. Now if they were running an $89 per axle special as happens sometimes I might consider machining depending on how long I was going to keep the car and how hilly the area I live was. |

| My 2007 Accord V6 has an Oil Filter about 1/2 the size of a Coke can. Does anyone make an Oil Filter adapter that would let me put a Full size filter on it? I cannot believe how small the filter is that came from the factory. It looks so small that I would change it once a week. Thanks in advance for the help. | |
