This car is equipped alloy wheels with a tire pressure monitoring system. Would there be problem installing 4 snow tires on steel rims or would it mess up the monitoring system and a light stay on thinking you have low pressure. Thanks

Very sad day...my first problem with the new 08 EXL V6 Finally got cold enough to use the heater at full blast to warm up the car as we drove. At the three highest fan speeds there is a whistle or hiss that is audible. Not terrible, but definately there. We took it in and they replaced the fan motor. Didn't solve the problem. They called Honda and they had not heard of this problem. The shop wanted to take the dash all apart and "look for the problem", but I have waited on that so far, as I don't want any new rattles from dismantling the dash. Here is the info I have on the problem: Whistle or hiss to me sounds like a leak in a duct or something?? But, it doesn't occur with AC is on, even if it is at full blast fan It only occurs when heat is on and above 70 degrees The whislte gets louder and louder from mid speed to max fan speed The whislte gets louder and louder from 70 degree all the way to HIGH. Any help/advice is appreciated!

I have an 08 Accord EX with the Michelin Pilot V-rated tires. Has anyone experienced driving in the snow with these and how do they perform?

Replying to: buttdonkey (Dec 04, 2007 7:04 pm) In any event, if it comes to it, it may be best to sell the car back to the dealer at a small loss -- better than wasting time and money on other legal remedies. But, don't forget that you may eventually qualify for relief under your state's lemon law . .  . Just keep close track of the number of days your car is in the shop and out of service. Also, document the number of times the dealership attempts to fix the problems you are having. DO NOT rely on the dealership to do this for you!!! Each state's lemon law varies, but you might have a look at the one in your state so that you are familiar with exactly what circumstances will allow you to demand relief. You can obtain summaries of each state's lemon law on various consumer protection web sites or, often, on your state's attorney general's web site (they usually have a consumer protection division). Good Luck! [p.s. in my experience, I have never seen a dealership actually buy back a car at anything close to a fair price. Plus, they really don't have to. It is generally not the dealership which is on the hook for a defective vehicle . . its the manufacturer (or in some cases, their licensed distributors). If you are dealing with a dealership that will, kudos to the dealership.. . . you must be buying Ferrari's from their sister company. . . they want your business!  ]
