We purchased a new 2008 Honda Accord exl in 2008. It has onluy 40,000 miles on it and my husband was driving and went to pass and the engine missed and and began to shudder and misfire and almost had a head on for could not accelerate and had to find a way to get back into line. We took it in and the only thing to fix it was replace the spark plug which we did and car was fine for a few weeks but now it is doing it again. I feel it's a safety issue if in the middle of driving you cannot accel the vehicle.
There is a loud grinding/rattling sound after a cold start up.

2008 Honda Accord - 4 door: at approximately 7:47 am on Friday, June 4, 2010, I was turning into a parking space in an open air lot, with the wheel turned hard to the left, I went to put my foot on the brake and the car lurched forward as if I was pressing on the accelerator. I could not figure out what was happening and when I looked down at my foot, it was on the left side of the brake pedal. Even slamming down on the brake did not prevent me from smashing into the Nissan xterra in the parking spot in front of mine and pushing the SUV forward quite a bit. There was no floor mat issue obstructing the accelerator, it was several inches away in its usual position. Hopefully, this will be the only failure. I called the police who filed a report. My insurance company told me to get an appraisal of the damage. No one was in the Nissan, but damage was done to his vehicle as well. Luckily no one was injured.
I purchased a brand new 2008 Honda Accord ex 2. 4l in may of 2008. Since then I have had numerous brake problems including early wear of the rear brake pads and warping of the rotors(starting at about 19,000 miles). My vehicle currently has 35,000 miles and under normal circumstances I do not believe that brake pads or rotors should deteriorate at such low miles. According to the 2008 Honda Accord rear brake pad settlement, I believe that all brake related problems such as rotor warp should be included as well. The rotor warp causes the steering while/car to shake while applying the brakes and causes excessive noise and instability in braking when braking on a decline (ie. Hill or mountain).

2008 Honda Accord, routine 25,000 maintenance at dealership. Dealer tells me the rear brakes need replacing. Dealer tells me this is common problem in 2008 Accords. Not covered by warranty. Honda is not taking responsibility.
This vehicle's headlights drop in intensity approximately every 20 seconds. It does not matter if you are idling or going 70 mph. This causes an unsafe loss of lighting and forward vision while utilizing the headlights during night time driving. It also appears to other drivers as if you are flashing your lights at them. I have numerous Honda vehicles and none of them do this. I have been told by the dealer that this is a normal function of the lights. I do not notice it when the bright lights are on. The decrease in light intensity is consistent when the radiator fan kicks on, drawing power.
