I can totally relate! Mine started having trouble around 100k miles, but luckily, a fluid change helped a lot.

Transmission issues seem to be a trend. I’ve also heard about engine failures, particularly with oil consumption. Has anyone experienced that as well?

Yes, engine failure is a concern! I had to replace my engine at 120k miles because it was burning too much oil. It hurt my wallet a lot!

My friend’s Accord had the same issue, and she swears by regular oil changes as a preventative measure.

What about suspension problems? I feel like I’ve heard that they may need extra maintenance after a certain mileage. Is this true?

Absolutely! My Accord’s struts had to be replaced after about 80k miles. It was noisy and bouncy; not fun at all!

Yes, very true! And I found that addressing it early can save a lot in repairs later.

Electrical quirks can be annoying. I’ve had similar issues, but a good wiring check solved most of them. When did yours start acting up?

Mine does that too! Makes me feel like I’m in a disco sometimes. Just replaced the bulbs!

With all these potential issues, what’s your strategy for maintenance? I’ve learned to stay proactive with fluids and inspections.

I agree! Regular checks are key. A little care goes a long way with these cars. I wish more people would adopt that mindset.

One of the most common electrical issues I’ve noticed with my 2007 Accord is the battery. It seems to drain faster than expected. Has anyone else experienced this?

18

Yes! The battery on mine died suddenly last year. I learned that it’s often related to the alternator not charging properly. It’s worth checking!

I had a weird flicker with the headlights. They would turn off unexpectedly, then back on after a few seconds. Any ideas on what could cause this?

That could be a bad relay or wiring issue. I had something similar and it turned out to be a frayed wire that needed replacing.
