I was turning right on a very busy four lane street and the left front CV-shaft (axle) broke into. Thank goodness I had enough momentum to get off the street. Honda had a rubber damper on the shaft that trapped salt and water, thus rusting and weaken the axle. Hinda had a recall on later model Hondas, but not my year.

The vehicle has good compression, but a strange noise is coming from the engine. It is also losing oil while leaving no oil markings. The vehicle has never missed an oil change, and was getting one when the mechanics said that the noise meant that the engine had problems. Multiple mechanics have told us to replace the v6 engine. The tire rods also need to be replaced, and the tsm light never goes off

The honda accord 2008 model started to clunk heavily in the front suspension when the weather was hot, anything above 85 degrees. When the front end was lifted or weather cooled, the sound went away. Steering became sloppy and felt unsafe. This summer when weather was very hot, the clunk became very loud and metal scraping on metal was apparent, especially on start, stop and any bumps. Honda issued a service bulletin dated sep. 17, 2013, bulletin 12-082 that describes this problem and attributes it to ball joints that become unlubricated in high ambient temperatures. Of course metal on metal contact without lubrication in the ball joint quickly destroys the ball joint, affects steering adversely, fatigues the metal and could lead to breakage. I attempted to have honda north america pay for the repair of this part that they acknowledge is defective in their service bulletin 12-082, but they were not willing to pay for the complete repair. I had new ball joints put on and it steers well and clunking is gone. Was not willing to let it go on longer and risk breakage at detriment to myself and family. This is a part that should be recalled/repaired at honda's expense and poses a safety risk.

I purchased new tires about a year ago. Tires had less than 30,000 on them. Back tires still had 90% tread but getting a vibration. Took car to the body shop and was told that the rear end of my vehicle was badly out of alignment.. I could see it with my naked eyes. The problem is that the rear tires can not be aligned. There is no way to adjust the camber on the back tires, so no matter what you will always have vibration and alway unevenly where your tires. Only way I can see to fix this, is to install adjustable cambers, but if this is a desig flaw and honda already acknowledged it with a service bulletin addressing there honda civics, then why should I have to pay for the fix. I am totally disgusted with honda.

I purchased this vehicle in february 2015 and the issues which I have face are: poor(worn) struts, axle(output shaft) seal leak, vtc actuator which the dealer does not want to honor the warranty defect, and poor motor mounts. In addition, the struts caused one of the tires to pop due to a bump on the tire, and the passenger front tire had to be replaced because of the bump on the tire which again is due to the struts being bad.
