2008 Honda Accord
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Honda Accord has several serious defects: poor brakes, excessive oil consumption, & uncomfortable seats.
BRAKES: There was a class action lawsuit against Honda in 2010 for premature & excessive brake wear. See our page on Honda's brake problems for more info.
OIL CONSUMPTION: Honda issued a TSB about this in late 2011, claiming it could be fixed through a software update to the VCM (variable cylinder management). There are class action lawsuits pending. See our page about the Accord oil consumption.
UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS: Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight. The common theme we hear is "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

Same as previous two posters. This started to occur out of nowhere. I have noticed that once or twice, it is so severe that all my indicator lights will come on. Check engine was stuck on for two days, then gone. Not sure but it seems to be affected by the cold. It almost seems less severe when the outside temp is in the 20s or below. This site is the first place I have seen anything like it reported. Haven't taken it to a mechanic yet because I wanted some more information first. Overall, I'm pleased with the car. But the myriad little issues can be real ball busters.
