I've got a 2010 Accord V6 I bought with 75k miles on it. Now it has 134k . Only major maintenance so far - new alternator, timing belt, front brakes . I'm about to have new spark plugs installed. Been a very reliable car and I love it

I had the 2008 4 cylinder model... bought it with 136k miles on it, sold it 5 years later with 250k miles, no major issues at all, , the biggest component change i made was the brake booster, , other than that, the car was such an amazing to drive, super reliable. loved it.

I own this car and I give maintenance myself. I haven't had any mayor problem it had 200k miles now.

Best channel for explaining problems with their vehicle, the symptoms, and how to fix them. THIS IS THE ONLY, and first, AUTO REPAIR CHANNEL THAT > SUBSCRIBED TO.

Every single one of these five has not happened to my car I have had to change the starter and I'm waiting for what's next but so far nothing love my 09 Accord!

2009 Accord, 4 cylinder, 205k miles. Have had none of those problems. I had the starter changed and it’s pretty well hidden. Other changes have been battery, tires and brakes. So far so good! But thanks for pointing these out.

I have a 2011 Accord up here in Canada. I had to change my alternator twice, a leaking rocker plate, wheel bearings, and front shocks. It's the heaviest and largest Accord that Honda ever made, so some of the parts are meant for lighter cars.

I have been watching 1a auto videos for years. its amazing how much quality content you provide. this channel should get public funding as a service to america

[jbu]

this was the most helpful video on honda i have found. i had to replace and alternator, many brakes front and back.door battery and my power steering is leaking now

[michaelchurchman]

My 2009 with 260, 000 mi has had 4/5 of these...luckily they are all easy fixes

[aakishkaushik]

Hi Bro I'm from Malaysia and thanks a lot for "how to" vidoes on accord gen 8. Because of these videos I manage to perform my very own maintenance on my 2012 Accord. Truly appreciate.

My a/c blower fan had pine straw and leaves in it causing vibration. Removed the motor, vacuumed it out and it's like new again. Car approaching 300k!

[AdviceDuck]

For the blower motor just slap the heck out of the area under your dash. It'll kick right on.

2009 Honda Accord coupe with 120k miles. The thing is a bullet and the only issues I’ve had were ignition coils replacement, starter, and cleaning out fuel injectors.

[lynettedean]

I absolutely love my Honda, but have had to change the alternator 4 times. It's an easy fix if you have the right tools. My Honda just hit 200, 000 miles and is still running good.

[firstlast---]

Can't believe you didn't mention the vtc actuator. Easily the most common widespread issue on these cars. If it hasn't been replaced with the updated part it will make noise eventually, guaranteed

2010 Accord 2.4l, 410, 000 kms. The only unusual repair was the drivers door lock switch, twice, due to being made out of plastic and the drivers armrest twice wore out.

[carkingspot]

We have a 2012 Honda Accord SE 4 cyl. and it’s been a very reliable car overall. The only thing I had to replace on it were both front shocks and a catalytic converter. After watching this video Ill go ahead and replace the spark plugs and ignition coils. I don’t think it’s ever been done since we got the car. We got it with 42k miles and currently it has 138k miles and we’re very happy with it.

160K miles, not a fast or quiet car inside (I've got the LX-P) but otherwise solid vehicle. Repairs so far, locked front caliper, starter motor, radio was having hiccup and occasionally it takes few extra cranks to start. Arm rest in the center console wore out, paint still looks good, couldn't be happier with a long term outcome.
