The Honda Accord 2008 model started to clunk heavily in the front suspension when the weather was hot, anything above 85 degrees. When the front end was lifted or weather cooled, the sound went away. Steering became sloppy and felt unsafe. This summer when weather was very hot, the clunk became very loud and metal scraping on metal was apparent, especially on start, stop and any bumps. Honda issued a service bulletin dated Sep. 17, 2013, bulletin 12-082 that describes this problem and attributes it to ball joints that become unlubricated in high ambient temperatures. Of course metal on metal contact without lubrication in the ball joint quickly destroys the ball joint, affects steering adversely, fatigues the metal and could lead to breakage. I attempted to have Honda north America pay for the repair of this part that they acknowledge is defective in their service bulletin 12-082, but they were not willing to pay for the complete repair. I had new ball joints put on and it steers well and clunking is gone. Was not willing to let it go on longer and risk breakage at detriment to myself and family. This is a part that should be recalled/repaired at Honda's expense and poses a safety risk.
