Re: 2008 Honda Accord LX Brake problem [elroy5]

Written by: hackattack5 on Nov 07, 2009 10:34 AM

Well I went to the Honda Stealership yesterday. I told them to check the rear brakes because they are probably toast. They were worn out at 23,000 miles. Front brakes were great 7mm left. The service manager told me if I would have brought it in with less that 20,000 miles that Honda would have paid for 1/2 the cost. She told me that because of the class action law suit ...

Accord's phantom noise

Written by: viet on Nov 06, 2009 06:05 AM

My Accord Hybrid 2005 that my college son drives it now, got same "phantom noise" for years after my complaints to different Honda dealers. Luckily, last time, 1+ years ago, one of Honda mechanics was able to hear it when he almost gave up (as other previous Honda mechanics) after a test drive. He replaced some parts. It costed some $650 and it was paid off by my extended ... Read More...

Mine went out also (04). Honda extended the warranty on this part to 100k. They evidently had a problem with it. They replaced mine for free. I also noticed improved sound quality with the new one. The stock subwoofer output was much stronger. Read More...

I visited the Honda dealer last night and have pretty much decided on an Accord. I currently have a 2005 Honda Pilot EX that is coming off lease and is roughly 18K miles over w/ a buy out price of $14325. My salesman (that I've previously purchased 2 other Hondas) has offered to take the Pilot on trade-in, I pay $1500 down along with a $500 Honda Loyalty Certificate ... Read More...

Re: 2005 Honda Accord DX - buy or not ? [nrcanada]

Written by: thegraduate on Oct 09, 2009 07:41 PM

Not really. :) I have an 06 EX, and other than some interior issues (CD changer malfunction, bad-from-factory rear-view mirror, console fabric coming apart) its been stellar. Reliability is tops; quality is good if not perfect. After 52,000 miles, if I had it to do over again, I would. That says something to me. :) Read More...

Written by: soocitysue on Sep 23, 2009 05:22 AM

I just bought a 2005 HAH and it has some kind of wierd vibration/humming/shuddering between 38-53 mph especially if I'm not accelerating. Also does it sometimes as the car slows to a stop. I've taken the car to 7 places... Honda says to replace the electronic motor mounts ($1700), AAMCO says transmission problems ($2,000-$4,000), and the rest of them just don't ... Read More...

Re: Radio Display light on Honda Accord 2004 goes dark [woogie03]

Written by: patty29 on Sep 01, 2009 09:44 PM

I own a 2005 Honda Accord and have the same problem, my radio display light goes dark but the music also CUTS OUT, a few seconds later - it's back to normal. At first I thought it was the radio station - but no - it happened while on another station. Today was the first day I've experienced this problem (it happened 3 times in an 8 mile trip home from the store). I hope I don't ... Read More...

Written by: icyou812 on Mar 22, 2009 03:09 PM

We have a 08 LX and the seat kills my back on longer trips. Too much for me in the lumbar area. My wifey is the primary driver and it doesn't bother her, so it is ok. As thegraduate said - try them on before you buy- is good advice. I would have been better off renting one for a week to check it out. Oh well, the wife loves it any way. Personally I prefer to drive our 97 Camry with ... Read More...
