Replying to: elroy5 (Jun 26, 2008 5:22 pm) I do know that since I've been using these idiot lights...daytime running lights...that I've been almost hit many more times. More people have pulled-out in front of me and then once they hear my horn and see me swerve to avoid collision, they look at me like...where did you come from. To me, the addition of the daytime running lights has added more glare to drivers. I've also noticed when trucks/pick-ups are right behind me that their daytime running lights are darned near blinding via the rear view mirror and the automatic mirror-dimming does not work to prevent this. I miss the old style mirror that had that tab on the bottom side so the driver could flip the mirror upwards or downwards to prevent blinding lights/glare. Having my windows tinted with the 20% tint has certainly helped to reduce the glare/blinding daytime lights. |

Replying to: dpmeersman (Jun 24, 2008 2:00 am) XM is not something I'd order on a car. It was there when I bought the car. I seldom used it but when I did want to use it for weather, I found that there were no cities available that were close to my location...SW Indiana. I used the normal FM-radio station to hear weather for my locale. Soooo...why pay for something that is not just already free but has more local news and more local weather? To me, silence is golden when traveling. It gives me time to think. I must add though that when I encounter some moron that has his radio turned up quite loudly that forces me and others to listen to that $%^&$^^ hiphop...I then turn on my radio and tune it to classical music then I, too, crank it up and force him to listen to "real" music. |

Replying to: dlongod (Jun 28, 2008 5:39 am) When you park, set the brake. Turn the car off, then back on, if you need it to sit with the lights off. Don't release the parking brake. The DRLs shouldn't come on. They only come on after cranking by releasing the brake. If you're doing a lot of sitting with the motor running, the extra fuel used in shutting off and re-cranking the car won't matter much - you're mileage will be shot anyway. |

Hi Purchased 08 EX-L, w/Navi June 24th, having some problems, anyone else experiencing these problems??? 1) Driver's side seat skip's going back 2) Navigation System, Sometimes have to press button twice before response 3) My BIGGEST PROBLEM, Seems to be all Front-End a) When appling brakes, the front seems to shake-shimmies b) At high speed, slowing down the shaking-shimming is more pronounced c) When accelerating to high speeds, from time to time it feels as if it is gliding, hard to explain, when I was a kid riding My bike, if You shifted & it did not go into gear, but You were moving faster. scary!!

Replying to: jpl (Jun 29, 2008 10:44 am) 1) Yes - skips and sometimes jams altogether like there is something in the tracks. Jimmy Hoffa?  2) Yes from high speed. Suggest you have rotors checked for warping - the pulsation of braking can casue the whole fonrt end to shimmy. Since it happens only when braking, I put my money on warped rotors. 3) No |

I live in Canada where it gets really cold in the winter. Last Dec I purchased a 2008 Accord V6 and today it has slightly over 3000 miles on it. The oil change light still says 70% so at this rate I will go through two winters without ever changing the original oil. Does this seem right or maybe there is something wrong with that indicator. I change the oil every 3000 miles on my truck and always before winter. |

Replying to: matador51 (Jul 01, 2008 8:08 am)  15% which for me was 7,600 miles. I'm told it is break-in oil and should be left alone until it reaches the 15% oil life indicator or one year, which ever comes first.
