#801 of 1122 Re: 2008/9 Brake Noise [mwest75] by keitha3 Feb 03, 2009 (12:49 pm)
Replying to: mwest75 (Jan 30, 2009 7:54 am) When did the noise first begin? I have about 5K on my Accord with no noise yet, but I have had that squeal on a previous Accord and it drove me nuts. Any others having this problem on the '09's. I'll definitely be more than peeved if it becomes a problem with mine.   You guys have a right to complain...

#803 of 1122 Re: oil change [edk57] by frustrated2009 Feb 04, 2009 (2:31 pm)
Replying to: edk57 (Feb 03, 2009 9:26 am) Happy to be in good company. We have the same problem. What could it be? Where could the oil be going? We have No indication where it might be going- no leaks, puddles, smoke etc. We've got a 2005 Honda Odyssey that's eating oil like there's no tomorrow. It was a gradual problem at first. Now, it's really become a problem and an inconvenience! The van finally broke down on Christmas eve. Check engine light was on and the van just wouldn't accelerate past 50 after gasing up while on a trip out of state. We had it towed to the nearest dealer who kept it for 3 weeks. They replaced gaskets, an O-ring, Fuel injector assy, catalytic converter, spark plugs etc. It's driveable now, but after two weeks we checked the oil level and it was two quarts low on oil since we took possession of it two weeks ago. Took it into the Honda dealer where we purchased it. They told me last year that it would take several days if not a week to diagnose the oil consumption problem. This was before the partial engine failure we experienced Christmas eve. Same day they called me and told me the van was ready for pick-up. They'd checked it out. Changed the oil. Couldn't find a thing. Bring it back in two weeks. HUH??? Ridiculous!!! Any suggestions? We're still covered by an extended warrantee for 20,000 more miles. Too bad the catalytic converter wasn't. Diagnosis at engine failure: "Caused by Found 30 PSI in cylinder one. 130 in all others removed head and found exhaust valve burnt through." In English this means?? Thanks for your help in advance.

#804 of 1122 Re: 2008 Accord EXL V6 XM Radio sound stops working after a while [djconner] by decatte Feb 07, 2009 (7:24 pm)
Replying to: djconner (Jan 15, 2009 2:20 pm) Same XM radio problem for my 2008 I4 EXL - Happens about once a week or so (three times this week alone!). I've found that it is caused by either just starting the car, or sometimes by channel surfing with the knob; but it's clearly not at all related to obstruction.   At first, the sound stutters in-and out, alternating ½ seconds with and without audio. When I try another channel - nothing. The radio does register the channel, song title & artist, but will not process audio on any channel. Not even the hiss you get with an obstruction. Since it still is processing channel info, my guess is that there is a glitch in the XMs memory that causes it looses the ability to process audio. Just a guess - I've had a lot of quiet time to think about it.   Has any body found resolution to this issue with Honda? Please let me know. Thanks!

#805 of 1122 '09 LX-P Power train noise by hutch7 Feb 07, 2009 (7:41 pm)
Since this is my first Honda after being a Toyota driver for many years I am still getting used to a "drivers car". I've noticed the drive train seems to whine more than I'm used to although the shifting is very crisp. Is this an Accord characteristic or should I be concerned? Overall I really like my new Honda.

Replying to: hutch7 (Feb 07, 2009 7:41 pm) That's to be expected. Toyota's are more isolated than comparable Hondas and Mazdas. Don't worry, and enjoy the new Accord.

Replying to: hutch7 (Feb 07, 2009 7:41 pm) My mom bought an 08 LX-P right when they came out in or around Sept. of 08, it had the same whine but after a thousand miles or so it went away... It must just be related to the 177 hp engine b/c a couple months later I bought an EX coupe with the 190hp and it didn't have the whine... go figure...
#808 of 1122 2008 Accord LXP 5 Speed AT - Transmission fluid leak by Arivarashan Feb 11, 2009 (7:59 am)
Hi,   When I serviced my 2008 Accord AT for 10000Kms in Honda service centre, informed me that they found minor transmission fluid leak hence want to replace the transmission assembly using honda warranty.   I don't find any reduction in fluid level but I don't why they are doing this. I suspect they will use my new transmission assembly for their own and replace me with new one as my car is in warranty period. Is it possible?   As they are the authorized service centre I am not able to avoid their advice also. As my vehicle is under warranty period I could not take it to other service centre.   How to check whether they replaced my transmission assembly with new one or old one? Can anyone advice me?   Regards, Ari Replies to this message: thegraduate (Feb 11, 2009 3:52 pm)

Replying to: Arivarashan (Feb 11, 2009 7:59 am) I'd try a different dealer, make sure they come to the same conclusion.

Replying to: frustrated2009 (Feb 04, 2009 2:31 pm) "We're still covered by an extended warrantee for 20,000 more miles. Too bad the catalytic converter wasn't".   The catalytic converters have a federally mandated 8 year or 80,000 warranty for vehicles manufactured after 1995. Unless I misunderstood your post, it sounds like you got cheated.
