Replying to: ginskee (Aug 05, 2009 10:14 am) What dealer in Phoenix did not charge you for replacing your rear brakes? I had to dish out almost $400 for my 15,000 mile maintenance at Right Honda... Replies to this message: ginskee (Aug 12, 2009 3:10 pm)

#5502 of 5526 timing belt by danny08 Aug 19, 2009 (6:38 am)
My 16 month old 2008 Accord Sedan EXL V6 simply turned off while going 35 mph. Would crank but not start. Towed to dealership and checked out. Timing belt "shredded". The cause was not exactly determined, but a series of failures led to the timing belt and, of course, to the valves being destroyed. A repair is underway.   Anyone hear of such a potentially dangerous (good thing we had pulled off of I-95) mechanical failure on a car with less than 34,000 miles?   By the way -- no warning lights, no sounds out of the ordinary. In fact, it was running like a top, as usual, until it stopped.

Replying to: danny08 (Aug 19, 2009 6:38 am) I will be very interested to hear their diagnosis of why this happened--the belt on the Accord is supposed to be good for 100k miles before replacement, isn't it?   Is the tension on the belt maintained by oil pressure? If so, and if you haven't kept records of oil changes, then the dealership and/or the manufacturer may claim neglect, and decline to cover the cost of your repairs.   One more thought--could malfunctioning VCM have triggered this failure?
