2008 Honda Accord power train problems

“CV Axle broke without warning. Minimal safety risk, had to push the car across traffic to a parking lot. Had the vehicle towed to independent garage for repair.”

“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.”

“TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD ON ACCELERATION, CAUSING HARD JERKS. WHEN BRAKING RPMS IS STILL HIGH AND ENGINE IS HIGH. IT IS TRULY AN UNSAFE SITUATION. IT SEEMS THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN. AND WHEN YOU TURN IT DOES THE SAME.”

“WILD EMOTION HARD SHIFTING HESITATION AND HIGH RPMS SHIFTS AROUND 456 RPMIT DOESN'T SEEM TO DO THIS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING COLD VERSUS AFTER IT'S BEEN ON A TRIP AND ENGINE IS WARMER. ON COLD START THE VEHICLE NOT IN MOTION MAKES A LOUD NOISE NOT SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE IT”

“I STARTED MY CAR UP IN THE MORNING AND WARMED IT UP FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN AS I GO TO PUT IT IN REVERSE THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON I THEN PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF THEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS STILL ON I DECIDED TO JUST GO BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE AT WORK IN AN HOUR AS I AM DRIVING DOWN I FIVE THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING LIKE THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STARTED FLICKERING AND MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF AND I WAS NOW DRIVING DOWN I-5 IN THE DARK. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT TO MY LOCATION PARKED MY CAR AND IT COMPLETELY DIED. I DIDN'T OPEN MY HOOD AND STARTED CHECKING MY BATTERY AND MY ALTERNATOR ETC. I CONFIRMED MY BATTERY WAS FINE AND THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. I THEN NOTICE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO THE ALTERNATOR. NOW MY CAR IS HAS NO POWER AND EVEN IF I GET IT JUMPSTARTED IT JUST DIES.”

“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.
