sending a message to the factory or calling them is a joke. i had problems and they more or less told me to live with it. this is my last honda. never again.

I haven't actually replaced the brakes yet- I only have 3,000 miles on my 09 Accord EX-L V6.... Midas offers lifetime replacement of pads/shoes- front and back i believe - as long as you own your car - at least at the shops in my region.
 
When the time comes, I'd call your local Midas shop - and perhaps Monroe - to check on what deals they offer in regards to brake replacement.
 
Assuming you can get the free pad replacement for life- such as the one offered through Midas- it would likely save allot of money considering the unfortunate situation concerning Accord brakes.

Local dealer torn down 2008 V6 that was using a quart per thousand. They found that piston number 4 HAD NO OIL RING from factory.

Your experience is definitely unfortunate, however, if you prefer you could purchase a high quality Chrysler product - lmao

Ken,
 
WOW! I have that same rattle and it is driving me crazy. It has been going on for about 3 months now. The only time it does not rattle is when I'm driving on a smooth pavement; otherwise it rattles all the time. I made certain that it was nothing in my trunk causing the problem. I also checked the rear speakers making sure nothing was loose. Well, last week I got in the back seat and just started messing with stuff and heard a familiar noise...it was the shelf. At that time I didn't know what to call it until I came across your message this afternoon. Thank you for giving my problem an official name...

Or he could purchase a Toyota or a Nissan or a Mazda. And those are just the most closely competitive Japanese cars. There is no shortage of high quality, competitively priced alternatives.

I took my accord to the dealer last week and they fixed the rattle problem under warranty. There is TB on fixing this issue, they will add padding and rebolt under the mid brake light between the rear speakers.

Very true, but given Toyota's continued rash of recalls, problematic new model launches such as the 2007 Camry- and lower quality interiors than in the past I'd opt for Nissan or Mazda if Honda wasn't available.

Windshield wiper problem by ramjet1

I won't bore you with my concerns with Honda Customer Service over this issue.
 
I am asking all of you that have the windshield wiper problem to bring it to the attention of your Honda Dealer or the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. In talking with my local Honda Dealer Service Manager this AM. Honda indicated they have no idea of this problem. I know from reading other postings my problem is not a one car problem. Many of you have the same problem. It is unsafe and could lead to an accident. No one wants that. Honda has good engineers they can fix this problem.

Transmission Fluid by mazda6dude
Oct 27, 2009 (8:14 am)
Reply
I have a 2008 accord lx automatic. Have little over 46k miles on it. Even though the maintenance minder has not shown the code to change the transmission fluid, I am thinking about changing just to prolong engine life. I would like some feedback and opinion on whether I should do it or wait. Thanks.
