I had the same problem with my 2012 Accord. Had a leak somewhere and it was dripping down. Causing the alternator to fail. What I do now is Keep a close eye on any leaks When I get the oil changed. I've also replaced all the wheel bearings on my car. It now has 250,000 miles. As the temperature rises, You may want to think about having your engine steam cleaned so you can better identify any current leaks. I used to live in a very Cold climate similar to Canada here in the States. My cars would always have leaking seals more often than if you're in a warmer part of the US.

Hey can u do a video on how to fix dim headlights for honda accord 8th gen ?

Got the 2,2 turbo diesel. Regular oil changes a must. Rear calipers seize up. Exhaust manifolds crack, this was a silent recall fault so if not serviced by main dealers might not be picked up on, but the main dealers might service your car and turn a blind eye hoping to run out the warranty time. Airbag factory recall,this is a free replacement passenger airbag. Not particularly fast, economical or cheap to run. But a nice comfy cruiser @80 mph 44mpg 0-60 around 9secs and around 130 bhp if I recall. I found the heater controls a bit to discrete and awkward also.

My advice is to have a very well calibrated torque wrench for the cam journal caps and to clearly mark the timing chain with a paint marker. The camshaft has a keyway so you can only install the phaser one way

Unless it was a genuine Honda replacement I can't see why you had those issues.

Have a 2010 2.4l with 230k miles and never had any of these problems. No mention of the excessive oil consumption caused by a faulty piston ring design? Honda did have a TSB and an extended warranty to repair this with redesigned parts but since it wasn't a "recall" they told no one unless you happened to bring your car to Honda for this issue and only agreed to fix the most egregious cases leaving many of these cars floating around suffering from this issue. The only problem the car has had which I consider to be unusual was the starter died at 70k miles. Replaced with a new part from Honda and has been good ever since. Interestingly, the original starter was tagged made in USA the replacement was tagged made in Japan. That and annoyingly the damn hood strut holder! I've had to replace that like 3 times already. Not only is it an annoying thing to have break, when it does break I have to find a means to secure the hood strut in place so it's not just flopping around. This is especially irritating due to the oil consumption issue which means every 1k miles (about 3 or 4 weeks) I have to pop the hood to top the engine off with oil. Also did I mention how bad oil consumption is for the incredibly expensive catalytic converter?

I had mine since 2011 and 11 years later, no problems just a battery died once and it was old

You should look into disabling the vcm system which allows the engine to go into eco mode, disabling 3 cylinders during certain driving conditions to save fuel. It is this system which allows oil into the number 3 cylinder, fouling the spark plug and causing the engine misfire. There was a recall on this but it only paid to get the problem diagnosed and the spark plug replaced. The ultimate solution is to disable the vcm. There are many ways to do this, I did it with the vcm muzzler. I too have a 2010 Accord with the V6.

Check for cracks in the big intake hose from the air filter to the throttle. Then check for holes in the exhaust before the rear muffler. Then replace the O2 sensors. Start with the one near the main CAT first. New CAT should be your last resort. If you do replace the CAT you should replace the O2 sensors with it. So if you end up having to do that then why not start with the sensors to see if that solves the issue for less money. CATs can take some serious abuse for a long time before they die.

If your thinking about buying totally recommend maybe slightly newer model with leather seats can’t go wrong

The alternator is definately #1.

I have this car. It’s a v6. I’ve had multiple seal leaks, alternator, Vvt sensor replaced, coils, O2 sensor issues, power steering, & the list goes on. It has over 200k miles. I have owned a 95, 98, 08, & 2018 Accords. I wouldn’t own any other brand.

Got an oil leaked... 2011. Power steering whine.... But just read how to fix that... Wheel bearings.... Learned that too... Going on 310k+ miles. I've owned all the same years as you. 😂 got the 01 twice... 🤣🤣🤣 #HondaGurlz

All these electrical problems can be avoided if you add at battery cable ground from the engine directly to the Neg -- battery .... why the engine is not grounded from factory is mind blowing because the Alternator, the starter and the spark plug greatly depends on the engine for ground... and poor ground shortens the life of all those parts and more......

Best car I ever had

Only problem I have had was constant fouling plugs 3 & 5 , and oil consumption. I installed the svcm and no more fouling plugs and no oil consumption. 135, 000 miles and runs like a champ.

An svcm or vcmtuner is a mod that allows you to disable the vcm system in the car (eco mode) hence the i-VTEC engine. Sometimes a faulty system can lead to issues with certain pistons that it banks in order to save fuel.

The alternator does charge the battery, BUT, an even more important job is to supply high amperage also for all the power hungry computers, ABS and electronics of new cars!

This is a big misconception a alternator does not charge it simply maintains the battery but does not mean the battery doesn’t need to be charged regularly every few months, maintenance free batteries is a marketing scheme

I’m looking at a Honda Accord lx 2014 50k miles for 10k. Does that sound like a good price range. This is my first car I’m getting. I was debating between this or a Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2016 60k miles for 14k. Which one sounds better is more reliable. I’m trying to make my first car last twice the amount of the miles I buy it for.

Got an 08 4 cylinder with 200k miles and not had any of these problems so far lol. I have had an axle snap on me though due to a build up of rust in the center of the rod where the stock axle has a triangular weight that collects salt and water throughout the years. Only major fault and a seized up caliper.

I have a 2008 Accord LX-P. with 286,000 miles. I had no problems other than the premature brake wear until I got past 200,000 miles. Since then I have replaced the power steering pump, starter, radiator, rotors, tie rod ends, and a back driver's side wheel bearing. AC just started giving me problems. The trunk spring just broke. I have to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Passes smog but the engine light is on most of the time now. Code says it's the Cat is bad. California Car is pretty much done if I can't smog it. I still have original spark plugs. Got my Accord in 2007. It was manufactured in Japan so maybe that helped.

I have a ‘07 Honda Accord sedan v6 Auto , it’s not the manual sadly but I’m going to junkyards to find a wrecked one and switch everything over to make it a manual ( I know the comments will say I’m a stupid kid but idc because I’m trying to build this car from the ground up ) @ this comment is posted I’m @ 176k miles and nothings happened to my Holly , Holly the Honda. expect going through 3 power steering pumps only to find out it was the main high presssure hose and replaced that today and the car drives like a dream! I’ve read the comments , the seating and interior aged quite well, it’s an EX-L with all the options besides the manual and sunroof as well as the heated mirror option. Anyway...the only issues that occurred to me where my spark plugs 🔌 , Oil pan ( from the car bottoming out ) and my inner break calipers locking up at certain times while driving certain speeds..weird I know. As following , the only bolt ons I have currently are a K&N cold air intake , and NGK Performance spark plugs. And it makes a HUGE difference in power , as well as the V-tech kicking in @ high speeds w the help of a cold air intake , it’s so stupidly fast I’m almost scared haha. Anyways I just wanted to tell my story, it may get buried but I hope someone could point me in the right direction for further mods for it.

We have about 300,000 miles on our 2003 V6 Accord and our 2007 V6 Accord 200,000 miles. No automatic trans issues. Big waste of time to swap it as the computers would be a pain to change. I would just go out and buy the manual version as you can get a nice one for cheap.

I'm getting the hand brake+abs+ traction control lights on ( 2012 accord) someone knows what's the problem?

I had a k24 accord and it didnt have any engine problems. But it was rebuilt so the drivers side axle broke twice. After it was fixed finally it ran like a charm.

Does anyone know what may cause the VSA, ABS, and a triangle with an exclamation mark to come on the dash after turning the steering wheel all the way to one side? Thanks in advance.

Mine got oil on the sparkplugs

We have a 2012 accord 4 cylinder. Ac doesn’t work. New compressor and expansion valve. New relay and pressure switch. Clutch won’t engage. Jumper it to recharge. System capacity is 14-15 ounces. I got 12 oz in it. Still won’t engage and high side is up over 400 with fans off. 300 with fans on. Ambient temp of 95°. Only thing left to change is condenser and drier. Both are on the way from 1aauto. After that I’m at a loss. That was with pulling vacuum to 29 for an hour.

the battery recharging problem with my accord was not the alternator but the amount of multimedia installed in the car somehow. It was discharging 100% if I didn't use the car for 4~6 days. After I disabled the reverse camera it never happened it again.

Have a 2008 with same engine as in video and it leaks at the base of t eng oil dipstick. It drips right on top of alternator n continues to ac compressor. After a while it'll burn both. Have not figure out how to stop that leak. Any help is much appreciated.
