The car was making loud noise in the rear end. I contacted the Honda Dealer and was told the vehicle was out of warranty by time although it was under 36,000 mile so there was nothing they could do to help. I replaced the rear wheel bearing assembly myself since they would not fix it under warranty. I also had to replace 2 rear tires due to the dragging and vibration of the bearings. After making contact with Honda Motor Company I found out it fell under power train warranty but since I had replaced them they could not reimburse me for my loss. The price of replacing the bearings at the dealership was 4 times more than my replacing them myself which would have saved Honda Motor Company but undoubtedly it saved them them all of it because they would not work with me.

I would recommend you do not purchase a Honda Accord. I am 52 years old and have mechanic-ed all my life and never seen wheel bearings go out at 35,000 miles. This tells me they are putting very cheap parts on their vehicles.

WHAT IS NEXT? NICE LOOKING CAR BUT CHEAP MADE!!

I have owned Accords, Odysseys, and Civics since 1992, and in all of those vehicles, only my current 2015 Accord LX CVT has a voracious appetite for wheel bearings. My first episode was in October of 2017 with 60,000 miles on the clock. Noticed intermittent howling from the rear of the vehicle and thought it was from the original equipment Firestone tires. During a tire rotation/oil change, I noticed that the passenger rear hub would not turn freely. Removed the caliper and pads to see if it was due to a stuck caliper piston or dragging pads only to find that the hub was extremely hard to move. While the hub was extremely easy to replace, my local dealer had PLENTY of these hub assemblies in stock due to their consistent failure. I make checking hub operation part of all scheduled maintenance checks.
