r/11thGenAccord

I have the touring canyon river blue paint and I'm trying to figure out what colored tint overlay to use on my DRLs. I was going to just use blue, since I don't really think anything else goes with that shade of blue, other than the standard white or an amber. Amber seems a little boring IMO, but just curious if anyone else has my same specs and might have photos of theirs they can share. Lmk, thanks all

Has anyone else been experiencing a squeaky driver seat? I’ve brought my car in to get it fixed, but it’s only gotten worse. Any suggestions?

So I've discovered my autostart via fob works from inside a store in ch checkout and a 2nd floor of a building no where near a window.

I thought I'd share in case you all weren't aware of the distance.

I'm impressed and LOVE it, since it's so hot

I watched a video a Honda tech posted saying the 2023+ Accord head gasket is different than the prior years. Is it possible Honda actually fixed it? Am I late to the party? If so, sorry. 🙃 It’s also still pretty early on to tell I guess.

“The old head is clearly listed for the 2018–22 Accord as 12100-6A0-A00, while Honda’s 2023 parts catalog shows 12100-6NA-A00. Honda also explicitly says the 1.5T received multiple updates and identifies the current Accord version as the L15BE, including VTEC variable valve lift on the exhaust side.

And here’s where it gets REALLY interesting
There is now hard documentation that Honda was investigating the older Accord failures. In April 2023, American Honda sent dealers a technical request specifically looking for 2018–2019 Accord 1.5Ts that had:

P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304 misfires + confirmed coolant leaking through the head gasket into a cylinder.

Honda wanted the original parts collected before technicians repaired the engine so Honda engineers could investigate them. That’s not forum speculation—it’s an actual American Honda dealer communication filed with NHTSA.

In other words, Honda itself recognized this exact failure mode strongly enough to ask dealers to send them failed components for analysis.

That makes the timing interesting because the redesigned 2023 Accord had already arrived with a revised cylinder head and newer gasket configuration.

What probably mattered more than simply making a “stronger gasket” This is where I wouldn’t buy the simplistic internet explanation that the old gasket was just garbage.

The old 1.5T combines a small 73-mm bore, turbo boost, direct injection and very narrow sealing areas between the cylinders/coolant passages. Under repeated high cylinder pressure, heat cycling and especially knock/pre-ignition, the sealing interface can become vulnerable. Once combustion gases begin crossing that seal, you can get:

combustion pressure → cooling system → coolant displaced → coolant eventually enters cylinder → cold-start misfire/P030x → progressively worse leakage.

Which is almost exactly the symptom pattern Honda was looking for in that 2018–19 investigation.

Honda didn’t publicly issue some announcement saying, “We fixed the Accord head-gasket problem for 2023.”

Automakers almost never phrase engineering changes that way. But they did change the cylinder head, gasket part/design generation, valve-train arrangement, injection/emissions calibration and other pieces of the engine for the 11th-generation car. Honda itself describes the 2023 1.5T as having updates intended to improve emissions and smoother power production.”

it’s a lease, Feed back please

What can I expect for a OTD price for an accord exl hybrid southeast region?

If you just bought a ‘26 accord recently please drop your OTD price!

I just called my dealer regarding tire repair recall and although that part is still unavailable, they mentioned bringing it in for the software update for water pump operation that’s available now.
I hope this solves the problem mentioned by several CRV Hybrid owners.
