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

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. Since then I went to the community Honda dealership in orland park Illinois and on April 2019 the P0301 code was present again something new and the P0420 dtc. I paid again for tune up which the 1st cylinder was fouled out again the third time this year. The director of the service department name bob stated for this repair again would cost me $8,000 and smiled. I said I could not afford that repair and because now that the first repair which I was lead to believe was going to fix the effect and did not. I was sold a lemon and I need Honda to repurchase this vehicle and give me a brand new vehicle similar to the one I purchase for $25,000. The community Honda service director would not warranty my tune up because he said I need piston rings again. I then contacted Honda corporation and informed them of my issue with the vehicle I purchase with was a defect. Took two weeks for the regional director per dana Honda rep stated no more assistance will be given to this defective vehicle which is a manufacturer defect that I would not have purchase if I had known. I then had to go to pep boys to avoid blowing the engine and catching a fire for repa

At 90,000 car shook and was misfiring. Codes pulled were P301 and 304. Spark plugs 1-4 were replaced free of charge due to Honda service bulletin 13-078 which extended the warranty to 8 years on engine misfires. My complaint is that the pistons and the piston rings were not inspected at that time. Why not" who knows what condition they were in" the car was returned to us with spark plugs as band-aids! it happened again at 103,000 miles (which we paid for) and now at 128,000 the dealership says we need a complete lower engine rebuild to replace pistons 1-3. of course as a 2008, even though low miles, it's outside of warranty. I thought in buying an Accord, I could drive it for at least 150,000- at least! I would like the warranty further extended, or at least for american Honda Corp to pay for half of the repairs as it's only 3,000 miles outside of the original service bulletin extended warranty of 125,000. If Honda acknowledged something was wrong with this particular V6 vtec engine, why does the warranty expire" shouldn't there be a grace period or a compromise? we are getting punished for caring for our car and having low miles on it. Many folks benefitted from the extended warranty because their cars failed within the 8 year time frame because they had high miles- higher than ours! what about those 08 Accord that are still failing outside of the 8 year mark that have lower miles than the ones Honda covered under warranty??? C'mon american Honda, take care of all your customers! I have purchased 6 Honda in my lifetime and am a loyal customer at my local Honda service center with an extensive service history. On this car alone I've purchased new brakes, new starter, new alternator, drive train belts, water pump, new vtec spool valves, vtec solenoid, and every service as recommended by- at the dealership- and my Accord only lasted 128,000? how"

Honda recall. My car for some reason was covered under the power transmission recall even though my car is experiencing the same problem and codes other 2008 Honda Accord were the same year. My oil is going faster then I can put it in. It doesn't last a whole month. I have no oil leaks in my car at all what so ever. Its damaging my engine because I had no clue it was burning the oil that fast. It's not fair they only cover some 2008 Honda Accord. When they already were sued because if it.

Grinding noise presents when cold start the car, possiblely the vtc actuator failure

- Bradenton, FL, USA

Since last 5 years I noticed loud grinding noise at startup, only in the morning when I first start the engine. Noise does not happen on startups during the day and the engine runs fine. Just the annoying about 2 second long scratch noise at first start in the morning. But since last 2-3 weeks it has gone worst and get that noice even when I start driving and every time I slow down and start speed up again it get that noice like gear slipping or grinding noise until I reach to faster speed like above 30-35. Its happening every time now. On Honda's website it defines problem as "engine rattles at cold start-up" just difference for me is now its happening all the time when I am driving. And I was waiting for hope to get recall notification since it's happening to all 2008 Honda Accord customers. Here is the link of Honda website which has more information. Https://Honda.oemdtc.com/219/engine-rattles-at-cold-start-up-2008-2013-Honda which even says the 2008-2012 all Honda Accord models has this problem. So before I schedule an appointment to dealership I thought to take this step to mention about common problem of particular 2008 Honda Accord to NHTSA United States department of transportation hoping I will get some kind of help or solution.

Defective vtc actuaftor. Honda & dealer knew by 2011 that the part was defective and defectively designed, and should have recalled it. Now, in spite of being "out of warranty, " they should replace or reimburse. I did replace and am seeking reimbursement, so far denied.

The vtc actuator needed to be replaced. The mechanic explained that it was not merely defective, but was a design defect, for which there had been recalls for other/later models years. I confirmed this with a google search. I was told that, were the part not replaced, the damage could be catastrophic. Cost - over $600. I complained to Honda of America, and sought reimbursement. They denied it, saying it was out of warranty. Car has about 88,000 miles and warranty was for 5 years and 30,000 miles. However, Honda of America representative said he would sue Honda if it were him. I should receive reimbursement, and there should be recall on this part.
