In 2008, I purchase a new Honda Accord V6 paid with financing $25,000. I purchase a brand new vehicle to not have to be bothered with someone else problems. When my car reached 100 thousand miles in the winter, I heard a loud knocking sound under the hood and I was loosing a lot of oil. I took my car to the dealer. My engine light was on and start blinking. The dealer pulled the dtc and the P0301 cold was present. A service bulletin 13-078 and case # 312-cv-01377-S1 told me that would be no cost to me because I was a class member. This was from a class action filing that 1.5 million Honda were defective because of a manufacturer defect. I was told this would fix my $25,000 investment Honda I purchase and paid in full. Since then I went to the community Honda dealership in orland park Illinois and on April 2019 the P0301 code was present again something new and the P0420 dtc. I paid again for tune up which the 1st cylinder was fouled out again the third time this year. The director of the service department name bob stated for this repair again would cost me $8,000 and smiled. I said I could not afford that repair and because now that the first repair which I was lead to believe was going to fix the effect and did not. I was sold a lemon and I need Honda to repurchase this vehicle and give me a brand new vehicle similar to the one I purchase for $25,000. The community Honda service director would not warranty my tune up because he said I need piston rings again. I then contacted Honda corporation and informed them of my issue with the vehicle I purchase with was a defect. Took two weeks for the regional director per dana Honda rep stated no more assistance will be given to this defective vehicle which is a manufacturer defect that I would not have purchase if I had known. I then had to go to pep boys to avoid blowing the engine and catching a fire for repa

At 90,000 car shook and was misfiring. Codes pulled were P301 and 304. Spark plugs 1-4 were replaced free of charge due to Honda service bulletin 13-078 which extended the warranty to 8 years on engine misfires. My complaint is that the pistons and the piston rings were not inspected at that time. Why not" who knows what condition they were in" the car was returned to us with spark plugs as band-aids! it happened again at 103,000 miles (which we paid for) and now at 128,000 the dealership says we need a complete lower engine rebuild to replace pistons 1-3. of course as a 2008, even though low miles, it's outside of warranty. I thought in buying an Accord, I could drive it for at least 150,000- at least! I would like the warranty further extended, or at least for american Honda Corp to pay for half of the repairs as it's only 3,000 miles outside of the original service bulletin extended warranty of 125,000. If Honda acknowledged something was wrong with this particular V6 vtec engine, why does the warranty expire" shouldn't there be a grace period or a compromise? we are getting punished for caring for our car and having low miles on it. Many folks benefitted from the extended warranty because their cars failed within the 8 year time frame because they had high miles- higher than ours! what about those 08 Accord that are still failing outside of the 8 year mark that have lower miles than the ones Honda covered under warranty??? C'mon american Honda, take care of all your customers! I have purchased 6 Honda in my lifetime and am a loyal customer at my local Honda service center with an extensive service history. On this car alone I've purchased new brakes, new starter, new alternator, drive train belts, water pump, new vtec spool valves, vtec solenoid, and every service as recommended by- at the dealership- and my Accord only lasted 128,000? how"

Have to top off engine oil every week. Discovered problem last year when oil was almost drained out and fear it will destroy the engine if not addressed.

My vehicle's piston rings are damaged and my vehicle is burning oil. I noticed that after checking my oil one day that there was no oil on my dip stick. I had just recently gotten an oil change less than 2 weeks ago. I check my fluid levels frequently due to I just purchased this vehicle about 3 months ago. I took it back to walmart where I had the oil change done at and they performed another oil change and replaced the oil filter, where I was able to watch them do the entire process. About a week and a half goes by and I went to check the fluid level and again the dip stick was bare. There is no indication of any oil leaking underneath the vehicle, nor is there any oil present on the ground underneath the vehicle after sitting overnight. There is no white smoke coming out of anywhere, no oil burning smell, absolutely nothing visible to see what might be going on with the vehicle. I took it to a mechanic that is in town where they did a thorough examination of the vehicle and stated that the oil burning is being caused by the piston rings. They are in their opinion faulty piston rings that have developed an abnormal amount of deb-re on them and they need to be replaced. I feel this is something that should be in the recall list due to this vehicle only has 104,123 miles on it and the pistons should not have to be replaced.

Every time are start my vehicle it makes a grinding rattling noise, this issue has been going on for some time now and the noise it makes seems to be lasting longer every time we start it. The vehicle is not moving, it is in park, it only occurs when I start it up.

When I start the vehicle in the morning after it has set all night it rattles for about 3 seconds. This is a problem that has been on going.

- Grimsley, TN, USA

Vtc (variable timing control) actuator, horrible grinding noise at start up and I do know that Honda is aware of this and has had many many complaints. That has got to be a 'lemon law' issue and I believe it needs to be fixed promptly. On a cold start, is when it makes the terrible noise. If it's driven for a while and then started up again, it is a 50/50 chance that it will make the noise again.

The vehicle has good compression, but a strange noise is coming from the engine. It is also losing oil while leaving no oil markings. The vehicle has never missed an oil change, and was getting one when the mechanics said that the noise meant that the engine had problems. Multiple mechanics have told us to replace the V6 engine. The tire rods also need to be replaced, and the tsm light never goes off

2008 Honda Accord ex-L at cold start-up, engine rattles loudly for approximately 2 seconds. After investigation and consultation with Honda repair technicians, it appears the problem is with the vtc actuator and Honda has issued a tsb 090-010 to address this problem.

- The Woodlands, TX, USA

Honda recall. My car for some reason was covered under the power transmission recall even though my car is experiencing the same problem and codes other 2008 Honda Accord were the same year. My oil is going faster then I can put it in. It doesn't last a whole month. I have no oil leaks in my car at all what so ever. Its damaging my engine because I had no clue it was burning the oil that fast. It's not fair they only cover some 2008 Honda Accord. When they already were sued because if it.

- Lancaster, CA, USA

The check engine light kept coming up with the maintenance light and the oil level kept dropping.I took it to autozone and I got these coded P3497 and P3400. I did a research myself and found out that there was a recall on this issue as stated in Honda's bulletin 11-033.the recall covers all Accord from 2008-2010 which mine is included. I called Accord to notify them about these but after they looked up the VIN, I was told my car wasn't included. Honda's bulletin says all 2008-2010 V6 Accord so why is my car exempted? please kindly look into these issue. Thank you.
