Very, very common issue on 8th generation AND 9th generation Honda Accords (as well as other Honda models from this era). ABS modules throw solenoid codes (usually consisting of VSA, ABS, traction control, and parking brake lights on the gauge cluster). Sure, the vehicle's ABS may still operate, however this is still a problem and generally not safe. My 2008 Accord EX-L V6 w/ Nav recently had this problem and I have resolved it by swapping over a used part. Honda wants to charge $2500 on average for both the part and labor. What the problem is, is that the circuit board in these modules have been using the wrong gauge of wire according to many mechanics. According to my mechanic, this thing can be triggered with something as simple as an automated car wash. Honda generally makes great, mostly reliable vehicles that are fun to drive. It's a shame that these modules have not been engineered correctly. I hope that the NHTSA can take initiative and force Honda to do a recall on these Aisin modules and fit the cars with better engineered ones. Brakes are an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in cars and it is IMPERATIVE to have a reliable ABS system. Again, this is a widespread issue and hopefully can be resolved by the NHTSA, working with Honda. Thank you.

Brakes: ABS system has been feeling funny for some months. Engine: Consistent P3497 Code which has turned into a check light ON.

The car caught on fire near the passenger front wheel, my home security camera, detected motion ( the flames) no modifications were ever done to my car The fire department wasn’t able to determine the cause as 7 minutes passed before they arrived. The surveillance camera picked up motion 40 minutes before the fire when a car drove down my street. Yes it was 13 years old but it was regularly maintained by my mechanic and in excellent condition as I can provide pictures and full footage of the entire incident. If my vehicle had been parked in my garage it could’ve burned down my house !! Fortunately it was parked on the curb in front of my house

I received several letters notifying me of an urgent recall for my Honda vehicle. I’ve attempted to get this issue fixed many times. However, the dealership stated that the repair will take a few hours to repair. Since I work Uber and DoorDash, I requested a loaner vehicle to use while my car is being repaired. They stated that they can’t provide that and If I want to I can rent a vehicle at $45 a day. Also, I will have to pay for my Uber ride from the dealership and back. There should be no reason why I should be responsible for lost wages or any expenses relating to a recall that is entirely out of my control.

I was turning right on a very busy four lane street and the left front CV-shaft (axle) broke into. Thank goodness I had enough momentum to get off the street. Honda had a rubber damper on the shaft that trapped salt and water, thus rusting and weaken the axle. Hinda had a recall on later model Hondas, but not my year.

I have been told my vehicle is a lemon. I believe the regular maintenance schedule that I have been adhering to should somewhat avoid this issue. I have went to two Honda Dealerships, Ed Napelton and one in Orland Park il. THREE weeks ago I drove and parked came back attempted to start and my Baby would not start. I noticed when i attempted to turn the key the needle would go to the top. I waited a while the car started took her in to wd Napelton, They kept telling me nothing was wrong. They said I could leave because they did not choose to figure out why my vehicle had just not started, so I went to my car to leave and she did not start right their in the parking lot. I went and go my mechanic and he tried to start it wouldn't start, he looked at the dash and said your car is overheating. Im asking why it was just here for a oil change and some other work prior to that. I had file a BBB complaint. The director called ke in for a meeting with the mechanic and from what they are saying because No one has given me anything in writing, I was told to be careful driving and every week My coolant should be topped off. They did say the coolant is leaking into my engine. I got a 3rd opinion and honda ahould have goven me a detailed description of the diagnosis. The sales department is bothering me about buying my car, I told them NO, I need my cat I cant afford another vehicle. My gut is telling me Honda has done thia to my engine thinking I will have to buy another Vehicle. Please Help Me get a proper diagnosis and I need to know how this issue was caused? My last recourse is speaking with ATTORNEY.

I am having issues with my transmission. My gears get stuck between 2nd and 3rd gear while driving. It loses power and I have to switch to Neutral and put it back in Drive in order for it to become unstuck. I have taken it to Honda, and they told me it was the computer, and several other things. They replaced $2000 worth of parts and the problem still happens. I took it back to Honda and they told me I needed a new transmission after they took $2000 from me. This initially started approximately 5 months ago when my engine light came on.

08 accord vtc failing, known issue by honda on many models with the 2.4l engine.

I was driving down the highway at 60mph when suddenly the car threw itself in reverse! No one was behind me, but I had to quickly brake and back into the shoulder and put it in “Park”. It has also suddenly shut down without warning while in drive. This has happened several times at different speeds, sometimes at a red light.

The engine rattles loudly for about 3 seconds on could start-up. The componet that is failing is the VTC ACTUATOR. This problem is casuing the engine light to go on. Also, I found out that the VTC Actuator on honda accord is a common failure. This is not a coincidence, it is a manufacture defect. In addition, it is putting my life in danger while it may cause engine failure. The VTC actuator rattles have been confirmed by independent mechanic.
