Thanks. Feeling a bit stupid for not having checked that earlier. Oil was inded very low. Adding oil leak to the list of issues. Dealership declined to return my call, but I did finally catch someone and now have a Friday appointment.
 
Any ideas what the oil leak source could be?
 
Edited: I added oil according to the manual directions and have a good level now.

REPLACEMENT TRANSPONDER KEYS FOR 2008 ACCORD by levtom

Does anyone know the cost of replacing lost transponder keys for 2008 Accord and if they can be obtained from a locksmith instead of a dealer?
Heard replacements can be very expensive.
Would also consider adding a valet key if these are cheaper.
thx

May not be a leak at all - the break in oil is VERY thin and you may even get blow by. The point is, it is not that unusual for a new car to use break in oil. I hope you followed the manual when adding oil - should not use a different viscosity than what was in there.

My mom owns a 08 honda accord v-6, bought new 3/31/08. It has about 4,000 miles (mostly short distance trips) The car has not started 3 times-luckily the neighbors give it a jump-start. She has brought it back to the dealer-they tested the battery-full charge. I told her to turn off the DRL's and do it the old fashion way. Do you think that would be the problem or another solution would be appreciated. The car will be getting a workout when I visit her next week.

HEADLIGHT ISSUE by st1300

THE STATE OF GEORGIA HAS DECLARED THAT 2008 HONDA ACCORD FOUR CYLINDER CARS HAVE A BUILT IN SAFETY DEFECT CONCERNING FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS. BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BUY ONE OF THESE CARS CHECK THE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING CYCLING. THE FIRST CASE AGAINST HONDA WAS RESOLVED IN THE CUSTOMER'S FAVOR.

WHY THE SCREAMING?
 
That aside, would you mind linking us to the info about this? I'm sure it'd be most appreciated by those with the issue!
 
Thanks,

The frustration with honda is overwhelming...another person on one of these forums named KATANA PILOT won his case against honda in the state of Georgia in October. I have tried since dec 7 2007 to get honda either to fix this car or repurchase it...they have as of yesterday forced me to go arbritration knowing they lost their first case on exactly the same car and model. Fortunately for me I bought the car in Georgia so I have a precedent set by the board.
 
Go to NHTSA.GOV and read the complaint base about 2008 accords..there are 178 complaints filed about the car (Accord only) and only 39 filed againt the 2008 Camry. Amazing!.
 
Sorry about the shouting but this has got to come to an end with a govt. recall of these vehicles. This is a built in safety defect that honda has no fix for, and to put the icing on the cake the 2009 Accords are doing the same thing and people are already complaining to NHTSA.GOV about them.
 
Hopefully the results from the state of Georgia will help get the ball rolling. Stay tuned, I will be going to arbritration soon in Georgia.

I know it is frustrating, but the Accord has been having this issue for years. but, unfortunately more so on the 08 Accords. I don't believe everyone is having this issue. Just like the VCM issue, not everyone is having the issue. We would love to hear about what the real issue is. What exactly is causing the problem. I believe Honda will take care of this, and well they will have to now. Since, many are speaking up about it. My 06 Accord had a similar issue, someone stated their 99 Accord did this as well. Bummer that the 08 shows this problem more.
 
With this issue, this will not keep me from leasing an Accord. I would still go and lease one today! I think other company's have worse problems than an annoying flickering problem. Thank god your with Honda, not with a few other "brands" out there. They have got more work to do. I would be upset about it too, especially if I felt I was ignored, because I expect good service from a new car. Heck, I don't even like rattles. So, I could imagine how you guys feel. I am glad that Honda is taking the first step, but only after many are speaking up. I am still a Honda fan, and will be.
