2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles (I'm from JERSEY TOO :D). Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath. I've owned 1998 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Civic, 2013 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord...it's looking like this will be my families FINAL Honda.

What’s funny this isn’t even the 1.5t. The hybrid only 2.0l non turbo

I've tried those 100 dollar scopes. They suck. Looking down straight is fine. But when you need to look at the cylinder walls for any scoring not worth it. I ended up buying a snap on scope. 500 bux but worth the investment.

Yet corporations keep pushing and pushing the limits. But not the engineering one but how much they can get away with and still sell decent. Turns out they can not give AF and people will still throw money at them. Stop buying new cars people!! The industry will never fix if you keep buying brand new money pits which were specifically designed to not be worth repairing after 200k km or soon after warranty...

At 21k miles per year, I wonder how many times they actually changed the oil.

I just had a head gasket go on my 2018 Accord Hybrid 170k miles Reservoir full, radiator bone dry Filled up radiator, bubbling like a mofo No check engine lights (had a super random misfire from time to time). Only sign I had it was going was temp warning that would come on and off under load.

A 2020 with 85k thats a shit ton of mileage. And bc most consumers dont do regular maintenance. Ssoooo what comes around goes around - ppl. Do regualr maintenance on your investments .

I have a 2018 with 86k. Running’s fine. It’s about maintance and how it’s used on a day to day .

Plenty of engines have been turbocharged for a long time. Just because Honda can't get the 1.5 right doesn't mean that smaller turbo engines are garbage. I do agree that manufacturers cut production corners yet push high HP to sell them which is what's causing issues.

never seen this issue in the 2.0l hybrid engines before

Honda needing a head gasket at 85k sounds unreal lol seen 300k mile Hondas with fried rings and shot crank bearing, but head gasket still good 👍 lol

This is what happens when politicians get involved in requirements for engine efficiency. It is a Honda problem but it's also not a Honda problem. It's in every manufacturer problem. They simply can't get the emissions out of the tried and true engines so they're building these little tiny motors and slapping turbos on them and here we are.

Just got quoted $3200 for a head gasket on my 2019 accord 100,000k miles. Pisses me off. The driveway will be full of Toyotas soon.

I hope that mechanic who says you need a head gasket is not the one that's going to tell the customer. He was grinning like an a******

Well well well I guess my BMW not so unreliable now.

Its not the Homda line its these smalls 1.5 L engines.

Driving an older car that is more reliable and cheaper to own and maintain doesn't make you poor. Makes you Smart with your finances.. hell you could buy a $5,000 car. Put two grand into it. And you'll be good for a while depending on what car it is in the shape it's in. What's the alternative spending 40,000 and making a huge payment every month? Think about it. So say you were going to take four grand for a down payment. Just buy a car with that Ford Grand and whatever your payment was going to be put that into the car every month in a couple months your car will be mint and you'll be so glad. Your insurance is like nothing and there's no payment

What can cause to blowout head gasket with that low miles on

@LUk3.M.

5 ай бұрын

Perhaps stomping the pedal when the car is cold/not warmed up yet. That can lead to all sorts of problems. My trips may take an extra 2-3 minutes, but my car will last MUCH longer when I dont go past 2,500rpm before the car is at normal running temperature. Some people are clueless to this. ...a Honda will last forever if you just give it a TINY bit of love/maintenance, if you treat it like trash, it will run like trash usually.

I guess a 2020 accord doesn't boast quality anymore to need a head gasket. At ninety thousand miles. Honda use to be about quality and for the price of that car, there's no way if you need a head gasket ninety thousand miles.

Someone fucked up for that headgasket to go out that quick

Ah man, Honda, what the hell happened to you? I'm fixing all the maintenance items on my CL7 so that I don't need to buy a new Honda.

I got one of those. Same year. The hybrids on the 2020s are a 2.0L i4 K series engine. Naturally aspirated. They probably did something wrong to blow a head gasket. I’ve heard similar things you’re saying about the 1.5L with the turbos pushing things too hard causing issues. Too many manufacturers putting turbos on small displacement engines to meet EPA requirements.
