Re: 2008 Accord EXL V6 XM Radio sound stops working after a while [djconner] by decatte

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!

'09 LX-P Power train noise by hutch7

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.

That's to be expected. Toyota's are more isolated than comparable Hondas and Mazdas. Don't worry, and enjoy the new Accord.

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...

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

I'd try a different dealer, make sure they come to the same conclusion.

"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.

After 4 one thousand miles consumption tests which proved my engine was consuming 1 at per thousand. Honda replaced short block and front head. I am currently breaking in the new engine. Keep you all posted. Bad robot or rings in the engine!!! Persistence pays.

keitha3, the noise started well below 5,000. My wife drives the car sparingly and only recently passed 5,000. I'd say the brake noise started after roughly 500 miles. I initially told her to ignore it as I know new brakes can sometimes take some time to be broken in. However, after we reached 1,000 and beyond, had the rotors machined and pads replaced we still experience the noise. If you haven't yet encountered the noise, I'd say you're in the clear.

Mwest75,
 
I have an update for you. The following is an internal memo posted on driveaccord.net regarding our problem on the '09 Accord. You can search their forum under the "8th Generation" Accords. They are asking for '09s that fall within a certain range of VIN numbers to bring their car into the dealership. I actually just brought mine in today and they are replacing the rotors and pads and sending the old parts back to Honda. They have cautioned me that this is not a permanent fix, as the replacement parts are the same factory parts that are causing the problem, but hopefully it will hold over until Honda fixes the problem.
 
Asking to talk to the District Service Rep is like asking for the Wizard of Oz. They will not give out his contact info and he can only be reached through the dealership's service manager. I was told that he comes to my dealership once every two weeks and I had to get off work and meet him in the middle of the day. Even after we talked he said the only way to contract him is via the dealership. I understand that he probably doesn't want harassing calls, but none of us want a car that squeals whenever you try to stop either! Enough ranting.
 
Here is the memo:
