Replying to: mwest75 (Jan 30, 2009 7:54 am) 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: To: All Honda Service Managers/Advisors From: Technical Research & Support Group Re: Request For Parts: 2009 Accord (2Dr & 4Dr) Front Brake Noise Print this iN message and provide a copy to the Shop Foreman and all Service Advisors.

I feel your pain, I own a 2008 Honda Accord I believe I drive on the worst interstate in this country. I-4 corridor. I travel from Plant City to Tampa every day in and the past year of owning my 2008 Honda Accord, I have been hit with a rock or small stone 4 times. Each of which has crack the windshield. And just this week I will be having to replace the windshield again after getting hit with a rock or stone on 2/20/09. I am beginning to think there is a design flaw in the windshield. You are right the dealer will do nothing but refer you to a windshield repair company and American Honda will do nothing about this as well. I have filed claim with my insurance carrier however by doing so will only increase your rates. And the last repair cost $361.00 for an after market windshield. This can't go on too much longer. Is it the windshield or just bad luck. I have a friend who bought a honda CR-V the same time I bought my car and drives the same roads and he is still on the original windshield. Tom Plant City, FL

I leased an Accord V6 coupe a little over a year ago and just went for my second oil change with 13,400 mi. on odometer. Besides the oil change notification on the dashboard "B1" also showed. I have no problem with having the oil change done but I was told that the "B1" maintenance had to be done also; which included rotating the tires for the second time, which I had done at the first oil change 6,500 mi. ago and a "Multi Point Vehicle Inspection" which cost me an additional $50.00 dollars. When I stated that I wasn't very happy about paying that amount for a vehicle inspection which with my other vehicle a Nissan is free everybody went silent. I'm afraid not to get the work done because it is a leased vehicle and when it comes time to turn it in they might come back and say that I didn't maintain it properly. Am I getting ripped off and what does anybody think about maitenance and when it gets time to turn in a lease? This second oil change and maintenance cost me a total of $95.00.

| I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6 - the XM radio sometimes loses signal (sometimes when it is really cloudy) - or sometimes when I change stations too fast. The display will still show the song that is playing - but no sound. It usually starts by skipping or sputtering. The ONLY way to clear this seems to be to turn the car off then back on - not exactly convienient. I have seen a few other posting's on the web with people who are having the same problem. See http://www.cardealercheck.com/forum/thread73893.html but I don't see any resolutions - I have taken the car in to the dealer - but they said they could not duplicate the problem - and there was nothing they could do ? Has anyone else experienced this issue ? I also called XM Radio - and they of course said to take my car to the dealer. | |

Replying to: ming2 (Feb 23, 2009 6:44 am) If you Google whether or not rotating tires is required, you'll get differing opinions. Some say they never rotate tires but will replace them 2 at a time, usually front ones first, and save the cost of rotattions. Over the life of the tires that can add up to couple hundred bucks. |

Hello. I have a 2009 Honda Accord and it has some kind of feature where whenever I press the button on the key to unlock the car, the horn honks twice. It's quite annoying. I don't mind the one "honk" when I lock it, but two to open is annoying. My 2006 Accord didn't have that. I looked in the manual and couldn't find much. Something mentioned a valet button, but I couldn't find that anywhere either. Any help would be appreciated by me and my neighbors who are trying to sleep in the morning when I leave for work  Thanks, BD
