#1092 of 1142 Re: Accord 08 V6 Oil Consumption - Real Bad [jam1000] by accordguy0325 Oct 20, 2009 (7:10 pm)
Replying to: jam1000 (Oct 19, 2009 6:10 pm) 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.
#1093 of 1142 Windshield wiper problem by ramjet1 Oct 22, 2009 (11:57 am)
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.
#1094 of 1142 Transmission Fluid by mazda6dude Oct 27, 2009 (8:14 am)
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. Replies to this message: hickok_wb (Oct 27, 2009 10:40 am)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Oct 27, 2009 8:14 am) I would recommend waiting for the maintenance minder. I am not aware of a link between prolonged engine life and the condition of your transmission fluid.
#1096 of 1142 '08 Accord front end vibration/shimmy by v8growl Oct 27, 2009 (1:52 pm)
For all those like me with a 2008 Accord Coupe or Sedan with the isssue of the front end "vibration or steering wheel shimmy" at approx. 60 mph and above take note. I have called Honda to register my complaint and issues with my '08 Accord Coupe. It is imperative that everyone that has this problem to call Honda's Corporate office and they will take your complaint and register it. This is the first step toward getting Honda's attention. The more owners that do this, the more of a case all of us will have, and something they will be more inclined to listen to. If they don't have the active complaints on file, then they can say "we are not hearing much about this issue." Calling the complaint line will not give you an instant fix. BUT, it is the start to get their "complaint book" filled up with the same problem, and for them to see it's not just an isolated issue. Take care....and call Honda!!
#1097 of 1142 2008 Accord rear brakes by v8growl Oct 27, 2009 (2:03 pm)
I have confirmed today with Honda, that a new parts kit is coming out...I believe consisting of new calipers and pads to help correct the premature wear of the rear brakes on 08 Accords.... Not sure how far this will reach...meaning to 09's....not sure. It's not a warranty item...BUT....if you have been to your dealer with premature brake pad wear....Honda will install the new rear brake kit at NO CHARGE to you. If you have already paid to have this done, you will be re-imbursed. This was told to me from the Honda corporate office. Not sure just when this program will start. By Dec. I believe. So, they have officially recognized that there is a problem and they are going to correct it. Now, we need enough complaints called in to Honda about the front end/steering wheel shimmy, then maybe we can get some action on that issue too. They respond when enough owners "call in" to make a complaint. Just doing it through your dealer wont do. Understand how they work. CALL HONDA DIRECTLY....and they will assign a complaint #, day, date, and the exact issue you are having.

Replying to: v8growl (Oct 27, 2009 2:03 pm) For those of us who have paid for replacing the rear brakes do you know - were they replaced with the same faulty part? If so is Honda replacing them again AND refunding our money?   Thanks Replies to this message: v8growl (Oct 28, 2009 7:58 am) blondebrickie (Oct 29, 2009 4:23 pm)
#1099 of 1142 Re: 2008 Accord rear brakes [blondebrickie] by v8growl Oct 28, 2009 (7:58 am)
Replying to: blondebrickie (Oct 28, 2009 6:11 am) Well, I have enough experience to pretty much know that the "fix" is not the same parts. It costs them too much to replace weak parts with the same ones. I confirmmed with our Regional Service Tech, while I was on the phone with my Service Mgr...and good friend.....that indeed, the "fix" is on it's way. For all those that went to Meineke to get life time warranties on new brakes......It's quite possible you might have made a mistake. They tend to put on shoes that are too hard and thus wear down the rotors, and then cause you greater expense with premature rotor wear. Just something to think about!!

Replying to: v8growl (Oct 27, 2009 2:03 pm) What phone number can I call? I am having the exact same problem.
#1101 of 1142 Re: 2008 Accord rear brakes [v8growl] by blondebrickie Oct 29, 2009 (4:23 pm)
Replying to: v8growl (Oct 28, 2009 7:58 am) Thanks but that does not answer my question. I paid for new rear brakes a few weeks ago so if the "fix" is not out yet what did I pay for.....the same old defective part? My Honda service rep told me "it was normal wear" to which I said they were crazy brakes do not go out at 25k miles.   Luckily I had my laptop and googled it....found a website called carcomplaints I believe and found over 500 cases.   I may be blonde but I'm not a dumbie   Any clue as to what I bought and will Honda reimburse me and replace what the Honda Dealer put on my car?   Maybe I should have bought a Ford!
