#817 of 1134 Re: LEASE AND MAINTENANCE [ming2] by dpmeersman Feb 23, 2009 (7:29 am)
Replying to: ming2 (Feb 23, 2009 6:44 am) Same service on my 08 EX-L V6 cost me $135. Thru 17 months my total service expense is $193. I view this as a small cost to keep my car running as it should. It may appear that the additional $50 they charged you is uncalled for or could be absorbed by the dealership but if they actually did inspect all the items this inspection calls for then $50 is not out of line for the time it would take to perform the inspection. Time is money as they say and I don't take a business to task if they are simply taking care of business. My opinions offered here might be different if my financial situation had been altered by the current economic downturn but to date my income has remained stable. Believe me the service center at your dealership is juggling with all sorts of ways to remain profitable as are most businesses.
#818 of 1134 XM Radio problems - 2008 Accord EX-L V6 by atl08accord Feb 23, 2009 (12:29 pm)
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) I would not worry about the leasing company coming back and saying you didn't maintain the vehicle properly. How can they prove that? You are free to have maintenance done at any shop, including doing it yourself. So unless your lease specifically says proof of maintenance is required, I wouldn't worry about it. I never do those "Multi point inspections", but that's just me.   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.
#820 of 1134 Honda Accord Alarm and horn when opening doors by bobbyd Feb 24, 2009 (5:40 am)
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 Replies to this message: hondaowner10 (Feb 24, 2009 7:03 pm)

Replying to: bobbyd (Feb 24, 2009 5:40 am) My 2009 Accord doesn't do that. The lights blink when I unlock the doors using the remote but that's all. I would have it checked. It might just be the way your locks are programmed. My dealer asked me before I picked up the car how I wanted the locks programmed. Check with your dealer.

Replying to: 7435 (Mar 03, 2009 4:09 pm) Why not just take it to your dealer and let them handle it?
