At 90,000 car shook and was misfiring. Codes pulled were p301 and 304. Spark plugs 1-4 were replaced free of charge due to honda service bulletin 13-078 which extended the warranty to 8 years on engine misfires. My complaint is that the pistons and the piston rings were not inspected at that time. Why not? Who knows what condition they were in? The car was returned to us with spark plugs as band-aids! It happened again at 103,000 miles (which we paid for) and now at 128,000 the dealership says we need a complete lower engine rebuild to replace pistons 1-3. Of course as a 2008, even though low miles, it's outside of warranty. I thought in buying an accord, I could drive it for at least 150,000- at least! I would like the warranty further extended, or at least for american honda corp to pay for half of the repairs as it's only 3,000 miles outside of the original service bulletin extended warranty of 125,000. If honda acknowledged something was wrong with this particular v6 vtec engine, why does the warranty expire? Shouldn't there be a grace period or a compromise? We are getting punished for caring for our car and having low miles on it. Many folks benefitted from the extended warranty because their cars failed within the 8 year time frame because they had high miles- higher than ours! What about those 08 accords that are still failing outside of the 8 year mark that have lower miles than the ones honda covered under warranty??? C'mon american honda, take care of all your customers! I have purchased 6 hondas in my lifetime and am a loyal customer at my local honda service center with an extensive service history. On this car alone I've purchased new brakes, new starter, new alternator, drive train belts, water pump, new vtec spool valves, vtec solenoid, and every service as recommended by- at the dealership- and my accord only lasted 128,000? How?

"takata recall" I purcahsed a 2008 honda accord in 2013. About a year and hald ago I started noticing that the car was burning alot of oil. On top of oil changes, I had to add 3-4 quarts a month. In sept 2015 I rcvd a warranty ext from american honda for sticking pistonsrings resulting in high engine oil consumption. I took the car to my local honda delaership and was told 3 failed attempts for a oil consumption test had to be done first before honda would fix rings problem. Took the car to honda in oct 2015 to start test 1. After that the car started acting funny. I would jerk alot, engine light would start flashing, it wouldnt accelerate properly. In feb 2016 it happened again and I got stranded because the car wouldnt accelerate. American honda wouldnt honor the warranty ext because I was over the allowed miles. They know there was an issue with these model cars and had only recently sent me a letter regarding it. I found out that a few of the cylinders were misfiring and after reserach found out it was due to the rings. They provided terribel customer service and they put a crappy on the street and did everything to avioid fixing it. And then informed customers so late after the case was settled.
