While the Accord will never be represented in numbers at meets like the more popular Honda chassis, there were a solid amount at this years event. Some awesome imported vehicles like the Accord Euro R, Accord SiR, and Torneo Euro R....as well as a variety of 4th through 9th Gens. I also included some Accord derived cars like the 1G Acura CL, and Acura TSX.

Hey everyone, just bought a 2013 EXL V6 for three grand with 200,000 miles. The previous owner already changed the timing belt and water pump. Just wanted to know are there any additional tips that I might need to know when keeping up with the vehicle? It runs like a champ. The previous owner kept the very clean. I'm just excited to have a brand new car. I'm coming out of a 2007 Dodge charger SXT 3.5 L V6. I ended up getting that car for $600 and got 12k miles out of it. It couldn't pass emissions so I had to get rid of it.

He didn’t want me to get the video lol

I’ve got 215,000 miles on my 16’ ex with the cvt, haven’t done the trans fluid since I bought the car with 60,000 miles. Curious what people’s thoughts are on that, seems to shift fine and still gets me where I need to.

I’m also looking for motor mounts and am leaning towards oem. I recently replaced the front shocks and rears with KYB shocks along with moog sway bar end links and o reillys ball joints that I plan on replacing before winter with another brand I haven’t decided.

I want to do the tie rods as well(never done them on any car before so we’ll see how it goes) although I’m unsure if I should go oem with that or not.

It also sounds like my exhaust manifolds heat shield vibrates every time I start the car or am idling at a very low rpm(like when the ac compressor kicks on and drops the rpm lower than it typically idles)

Any advice on the tasks at hand or brands would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! Looking to purchase a used Honda accord for my wife preferably 2018 or higher model. My budget is about $15-$17K. If anyone is looking to sell please feel free to reach out to me. I’ve checked dealerships but with fees, taxes and all becomes too expensive.

Appreciate the help!

I always had a shuddering at higher gear when speeding up, for a long period of time. But i always thought its an i take issue or some sort of vaccum. Just now on a highway trip the engine light was flashing and pulled over to check.

Can i drive home 45 mins away? What should I do next?

2017 accord 2.4L ~200k miles

My Extremely Disappointing Experience with a Brand-New Honda Accord 2020

It had been a long time since I last purchased a brand-new car(2016), and I expected the Honda Accord to deliver the quality, reliability, and peace of mind associated with the Honda brand. Unfortunately, my experience turned into a complete disaster.

The car performed well for only the first two weeks. After that, serious problems began to appear. First, I noticed visible rust spots on the body, as shown in the attached picture. Shortly afterward, I discovered engine oil leaks.

The problems did not stop there. The car developed a serious steering stability issue: it drifted to the right at low speeds and to the left at high speeds. This was particularly concerning because it affected the car's handling and raised serious safety concerns.

I repeatedly left the car at the dealer for the necessary repairs. Despite multiple repair attempts and the time spent at the service center, they were never able to resolve the steering problem.

On top of these issues, the CVT transmission suffered from delayed response when moving off after coming to a complete stop. The rear parking sensors were also disappointing, as they responded too slowly when approaching an object, reducing confidence in their ability to provide timely warnings.

After four months of dealing with these frustrating and persistent problems, I finally decided to return the car to the dealer. What should have been an enjoyable experience of owning a brand-new vehicle became a stressful, time-consuming, and deeply disappointing ordeal.

I never expected a new Honda Accord to develop so many problems within such a short period. Rust on the body, engine oil leaks, unresolved steering instability, delayed CVT transmission response, and slow rear parking sensors are unacceptable issues to encounter in a brand-new vehicle.

What makes this experience even more disappointing is Honda's extended engine warranty coverage for issues involving gaskets and oil leaks. Customers purchase new cars expecting quality, durability, and reliability—not repeated repairs and unresolved technical problems from the very beginning.

This experience has completely destroyed my confidence in Honda. After everything I went through, I would never consider buying another Honda again. I expected much better from such a well-known brand, but unfortunately, my experience fell far below expectations.

My advice to anyone considering a Honda Accord is to carefully research potential issues and think twice before making a purchase. A brand-new car should provide peace of mind, not four months of frustration and disappointment.

I replaced the headliner in my 08 Accord because it was falling in a few spots. This, what I assume to be, window or door liner started falling worse than before I had the work done. Any ideas on what it is officially called so I can replace it? Thank you in advance.

Engine not starting.
Screen not opening.
I was in standy mode for like 10 minutes.
I did get spark plugs changed last week.

Hey all, can anyone help me with figuring out how I can go about updating the GPS on my 2022 Honda Accord, I Have installed and reinstalled the Garmin Express app and I still get an error message about communication issues with the servers. I even tried to run the app as an Administrator to no avail. I would even be willing to pay for an updated map if I could. I know I can use Google maps through Android Auto but want to have my Garmin maps available as a back up. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, as the title say, I am looking at 2014 accord sports which has 124k miles on it. I am getting it inspected tomorrow for an independent mechanic.
Just wanted to ask is it worth buying? Are there any known issues I should be aware of? It cost $11.5k

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2008 Honda Accord V6 4-Door! It’s a great vehicle and has treated me well. It is a 18 year old car!

My ABS + VSA + Parking Break “LIGHTS” are on the Dashboard (See Picture) The diagnostic I received is the ABS/VSA Module is needing to be replaced. My mechanics stated this is an issue with the 8th Generation Accord. The cost of the repair is quite large.

My question: Can I still drive the 2008 Honda Accord in the Canadian Winters with the issues I spoke of: ABS/VSA Module.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

Hey guys, this weekend my coke zero spilled all over & got into my ebrake switch? I’m in Los Angeles california, I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this or how much is expected to pay for this repair?? I need help. Idk if I should fix since I am trading it in about 2 months. Was wondering if it’s worth fixing for a better trade in value but I’m just not too sure how much is expected for this repair?

I crashed my accord a while back and finally got the motivation to fix it up and mod it. Just wondering where I can find parts and how easy it is to mod

Just got my first car, I don't know much about its specs, all I know is that it's a good car, but was wondering about speaker sizes.

Dad tested the speakers and found out the ones I have are blown out, so I need new ones. I'm a bit of an audiophile and prefer my music detailed... So I also need some quality speaker brands as well.

Any answer is appreciated. :-)

Hey guys! I recently bought an 07 Honda Accord EX 2.4L, and it’s been going through an insane amount of oil. Me and my SO went on a road trip and ended up going through about 11qts in around 2k miles… so yeah…. I also recently did an oil change and 270 miles later there was basically no oil in it. There are no signs of leaking or burning, so not quite sure what’s going on. It does have 224,000 miles on it, but even with it being that high, it shouldn’t be going through that amount of oil. Oil does seem to get pretty dirty pretty quickly, and I do think there is some sludge in the system as well. Does anyone know what I can check, or do, or literally anything to try and get this diagnosed and fixed?
(photo is amount of oil left after the oil change)

EDIT: no blue smoke out of exhaust, no smoke in general, no leaks on the ground.
We did do a compression test and got like 190, 190, 175, and 180 (not in that order)

Will definitely be checking the PCV this weekend, thank you!

TL;DR: Honda won't fix my car so I made an app to keep gathering proof.

My 2018 Accord Hybrid appears to have the engine misfire problem Honda just put out a service bulletin for (https://www.kbb.com/car-news/honda-models-get-extended-warranty-over-head-gaskets/). Neither my dealer nor Honda will approve the repair unless two things are true: the code has to be showing when I bring it in, and the code has to survive turning the car off, waiting, and then turning it back on.

In the 5 years I've been dealing with the problem (random and infrequent loss of power at highway speeds, flashing check engine light, unable to maintain about 50 mph), we've gone from changing spark plugs, months at a time in the service center, to a partial teardown (at my expense) a diagnosis of a timing belt that may or may not have needed to be replaced, and finally 3 months this year so far in the service center.

Regarding the misfire code itself, at their instruction (service center and Honda corporate), we drove it to the service center while the problem was actively happening...on the highway, with check engine light flashing and engine very noticeably struggling. They captured the code both times. This past time they all told me that even though they captured it, they needed to be able to capture it a second time in order to approve a repair.

I'm at my wits end. In both cases, we've done what Honda themselves told us to do: bring the car in when it was actively flashing the check engine light. The first time around was pre service bulletin, but this time around the car was IN THE SHOP when the bulletin came out. I honestly don't know what practical avenues I have left to me, so in my frustration I started researching OBD scanners and what I could capture myself. All of this is to basically say that I built an iOS app to help me log and keep track of as much of what I can get from my car as possible. It's called Baseline OBD, and my overall goal was to keep it as minimal and clean as possible, while also being data-rich. It saves pending codes, misfires and freeze frames that would vanish after the next clean drive. I can export it all as a PDF, CSV files and raw records to hand to a mechanic.

I also included a beta idea I had to monitor the car across its own average (the Baseline title comes from this). It shows how close each of the car's own self-tests is to its limit. That includes the catalyst, oxygen sensor, fuel trim, warm-up, 12 V battery and misfires per cylinder. The idea is to catch a part wearing out before the check-engine light comes on. Like I said, this is very beta, so please take it as theoretical and not factual.

Anyway, my impotent frustration is your gain, because I'm releasing it totally free: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/baseline-obd/id6815648278

It only reads, never writes to the car or clears a code. There's no account and no tracking, and everything stays on your phone unless you export it. I've only tested it with the OBDLink CX adapter that I bought for myself, but feel free to try it out with your own and let me know the results (if you're willing). Please let me know if you have any issues or technical problems, solo coded and mostly solo tested.

P.S. My car is even still in the original warranty!

Purchased my first Honda let alone accord yesterday. Have always liked them but was never in a position to be able to afford what I liked. 2016 Touring with the 3.5l v6 84k. I think I’m already in love with this thing. I can see why people don’t give these up very easily.

Selling these black accord 19s

$900 obo

ive been having an issue with my accord for the last year or better where under light load, hardly under and throttle it begins to shake. (imagine balling up your fists parallel in front of you, then shaking yourself violently) when i let off the gas and put it back on with a little more throttle it doesn’t do it. it doesn’t do it all the time.

im suspicious of the mounts being the issue considering it has the movement it does under load (shown in video).

i would appreciate any tips, ive had two different legitimate transmission specialists drive it and check codes. both werent honda specialists, one said they think it is the trans and the other thinks it isn’t.

also, it shifts normally most times and never really acts like it wont shift (unless you count the shaking)

just looking for other perspectives, thanks!

$100 on eBay for a set of amber delete OEM headlights. Was a pretty easy install just took a couple hours. Old ones were hazy and beginning to peel which was bothering me too much, fresh headlights really make the front end look so clean 🧼
