If you do have the problem and it annoys you ffile for arbitration and go after honda. If enough cars are bought back honda will eventually find a FIX for the headlight problem. This can be done and KP proved it....congratulations KP its been a long time coming. I absolutely salute your tenacity in this issue. |

Replying to: st1300 (Dec 11, 2008 5:23 pm) You would have thought Honda would fix the issue, considering it has been going on for years. It has to be a simple fix. Since, they take the perfection approach to their cars, you would think an employee driving the car would notice and get it on high priority. I am glad the issue is slowly be acknowledged/fixed by Honda. If they want to keep their reputation up, they'll fix it. I can understand why you all are upset by the issue. But, remember, compared to other cars with much, much worse problems than this, this problem looks better if you were to get an issue.

Does anybody else have an issue with the wipers in snow and ice. About every 15 minutes I had to pull over and scrape the little edges to get out ice. All the wipers were doing was skipping right over the water on the windshield. Can you get aftermarket wipers for these 2008 Accord's? These contoured wipers really suck. Why would Honda not pay attention to detail when it came to the design of the windshield? The passenger side is fine, but having the raised edge on the driver's side catches all the water and ice, so it just drags it right across the window again.

Replying to: st1300 (Dec 11, 2008 5:23 pm) I asked them why a radiator fan would begin to cycle on and off within 20 seconds of the initial start on a 20-degree morning? Answer from Honda, it is normal. Pure crap! Normal operating temp is 210 - 220 degrees, so it takes a bit to reach that temp on a cold morning. The flickering headlights, exterior lights, etc, are the direct result of the fan cycling on and off every 20 seconds or so. Now, why would the fan need to operate this way, especially in very cold weather? The fan runs to cool the motor. The radiator fan on the 08 Accord seems to run off and on constantly for no apparent reason. Thus, the dealership continues to play dumb. An example of Honda’s concern for their customers, I had to bring them two TSB's, (Technical Service Bulletins), for a third gear problem on my 2007 Honda Civic SI that had only 3000 miles on it. The TSB FROM HONDA stated that third gear needed to be replaced. When I called the dealership, they told me there were no TSB’s postetd. I googled it and in 30 seconds I found the TSB, printed it and took it to Honda. The service writer says, "Wow, we've never seen that before". Again, pure crap. Well, they replace third gear at 3000 miles on the car. So, here’s our dealership that we count on for honesty and integrity telling me that there isn’t a problem when there absolutely was. That is just an example as to how Honda is dealing with the 2008 Accord issues as well. They will deny it from sun up to sun down until enough people complain or a class action suit is set into motion. I would just like to know how "KATANA" got a check from Honda? This seems impossible. In 20 years of being in the field, I've never seen that done. |
