Well, I guess it is my turn to join the crowd. Even if I wasn't extremely happy with my EX-L w/Navi, I4 manual (I am, BTW), I can't remember reading any wholesale complaints about this generation. There were some issues, as with all cars, but never to the point that the whole generation was a dog. Read More...

The previous generation (2003-2006) was probably one of the worst generations of Accords in years. I would like to know what is wrong with my 03 Accord? That is not apparent to me. Read More...

It's hit or miss. Honda's quality is no where near what it used to be. Honda is living off "word of mouth" and loyal customers from the past. If you go to many car complaint websites, you'll see that there are more Honda complaints compared to many other manufacturers. The previous generation (2003-2006) was probably one of the worst generations of Accords in years. ... Read More...

Honda Accord Brake Questions

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.

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...

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...
