general problems of the 2008 Honda Accord

V tec actuator makes griding noise when start a car for 2 to3 seconds.

�takeda recall� I took my vehicle to Honda buena park in buena park, CA for this recall, and I'm just finding out that the recall is still active.

This was the second time my car accelerated for no reasons while I was driving. The first time I was only driving 35 miles an hour and no one was in front of me. The second time the car accelerated as I was stopping at a red light. I barely missed a car by one foot. Both times I went to the Honda dealership in sanford. Long story short. . . No one knows how to fix it. I am extremely upset over the idea that there are all car owners with these electronic systems that don't work. The second time my three year grandson was in the back seat. The dealership said the electronic system sent a message that designated that there was an acceleration or malfunction. Anyway I am sending this because I wanted my car fixed and because it is a paper trail if someone gets killed in this car. I will no longer own a Honda. This was my second Honda and until this I was very satisfied. I now have a car paid for that I cannot drive. I do want the public to be aware of this problem. Martha l. Rhodes mrhodes@harnett. K12.

2008 Honda Accord issues, spark plugs, battery light, and traction light indicator turn on and engine pulsates and stutters, door lock actuator fail before 50k in both driver door and rear driver side. Brake rotors are worn down very easily and rear pad wear down faster than front with uneven wear.

While traveling at high rate of speed on an interstate my vehicle struck a patch of black ice. The car's vehicle stability assist engaged, but I was unable to gain control, the vehicle spun repeatedly and left the roadway, striking a culvert and causing the side and side curtain airbags to deploy. I found out a week after getting my car back from repairs that the rear brakes were completely worn down to metal on metal with no prior warning and after only approximately 22,000 miles. I believe that this caused a significant safety issue and contributed to my accident. When the vehicle stability assist and brake assist function was engaged, I believe the worn state of the rear brakes as opposed to the almost new condition of the front brakes caused the back end of my car to swing around and spin out of control. This is a documented problem with the 2008 Accords (on the internet), but amercian Honda has yet to even admit that there is a problem. I am lucky that I was not severely injured or killed in that high speed crash. Fortunately, the Honda engineers that designed the airbags put more thought into their design than the engineers that designed a rear braking system that wears down after 20,000 miles. I currently have about 57,000 miles on my Accord and have now replaced the rear brake pads and rotors twice.

While driving my 2008 Honda Accord the engine failed and the entire dashboard lost power as I was on the highway. The entire car lost functionality including the power steering and brakes I had to come to a complete stop and put the car in park and restart the engine buy turning off and on the ignition key.
