Obviously a huge gift from him and I tried to pay but he simply wouldn’t accept. So thrilled to drive this for a long time to come.

Minor wreck caused my driver’s seat to catch on fire

Hello all, I had a very scary experience this morning and just wanted to share as a PSA or see if anyone happens to have a similar experience.

My 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring was involved in a two-car accident this morning; Another car t-boned me going 50 mph as they blew through a red light. But, that wasn’t the main issue.

As soon as impact was made, all airbags deployed, and I saw/ smelled a little smoke. I initially thought it was from the airbags deploying, until I looked down to my left side.

I saw flames underneath my drivers seat. Right by the seatbelt area near my left leg. I obviously immediately got out, and no less than 2 minutes later, my entire driver’s side was on fire.

No other parts of the car were burned. Back seat, passengers seat, under the hood, in the trunk…. All perfectly fine. It was ONLY the drivers seat.

I will attach photos of my car below. Has anyone ever heard of something like this??? The firefighters said they have never seen it and will have to do some research on it.

After some research, I learned that it could be due to the pyrotechnic seatbelt pretensioner malfunctioning, and that seems to make the most sense to me.

Overall, I am so thankful I remained conscious and was able to get out as soon as I saw one flame.

Please let me know if you have any theories or any experience with this!!

Is this fixable

I’m assuming the previous owner either got locked out or had an attempted break in

11th gen accord hybrid owners - how has your car been? any issues?

Hello,

I'm contemplating selling my 8th gen accord coupe v6 and upgrading to an 11th gen accord hybrid touring but I wasn't sure just exactly how reliable the car is. I'm thinking about purchasing a used one with no more than 30k miles or so. Has anyone driven theirs past 100k miles? If so, have you had any issues? I think I'm pretty confident I can drive my 8th gen up to 250k miles without too many issues. but wasn't sure about the 11th gen accord hybrid touring. Also wasn't sure if it mattered what year to get (2023-2026). Any insight will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Purchasing 2022 Accord Sport SE at non Honda dealer question.

So I really want this car but its being sold at a Mitsubishi dealer. From what I understand this is not a certified pre owned because its not being sold from a Honda dealer. Is there anything I should be aware prior to purchasing? Its been 14 years since I last bought a car I'm kind of lost. Thanks

Adaptive Cruise Control

Does my brake light come on everytime my car adjusts speed to the car in front of me? This must make the car behind me furious seeing the brake light come on when driving say on the highway. Everytime i feel it adjusting to the speed in front of me is it coming on? Anyone else feel bad when using it.

New Accord owner

Happy to have joined the crew with a 2026 sport! Just curious as to what the green “ready” symbol is for and the red dot on the speedometer. Thanks!

2021 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport - Still Night Pearl
Purchased with 66,XXX miles

Love driving the car especially in sport mode. Merging onto highways is always fun and with ease.

Only complaint I’ve had is that it jerks slightly when letting off the accelerator and when pressing accelerator at very low throttle. I’m bringing it back in to the dealership service department to get checked this week.

Will update this post when I hear back

Oil change day for the oil burning 2003 k24

Last change was with Valvoline restore and protect which I hope did a lot of cleaning. Ran the EPR with the VRP for about 15-20 minutes varying the rpm’s then drained it and fill it up with some cheap synthetic oil and a cheap filter to flush the rest of the chemical out. Filled up with Castrol Edge Euro 0w30 and the OEM filter. The quart of HPL EC30 is for some more cleaning. Hopefully this can help with the oil burning. Normal rate of burn is 1 quart/800-1000 miles.

Help me with 3x 10mm bolt behid the engine block

Hey everyone, I'm working on replacing the VTEC solenoid on my 2005 Honda Accord 2.4 L.

I’m using a 6-point socket and a standard ratchet, but I can't get enough leverage without the socket slipping off the bolt heads.

I haven't completely rounded them yet, but they won't budge. Access is tight back there.

Has anyone run into this specific issue on these K24 engines? What socket/extension setup or trick did you use to get them out without stripping them? Appreciate any help!

Honda Accord 2.0T Engine failure on

Hi everyone.

I have a 2019 Honda accord 2.0T. Love the car. It’s fast, comfortable and has tons of space. For many years I praised Honda. Best cars ever made, reliable and fun. However, last week my engine had valve damage. The car went on limp mode.

My car is completely stock, had 80k miles. Never tuned, I drive like a normal person. I don’t floor it, go fast…. A ton. I change the oil every 5k miles with 0w-20 full synthetic.

Why did this happen? Also I am not paying $11k for an engine swap. Any recommendations I should do besides that lol.

Just got a 1.5T and super scared about head gasket issues.

Hello everybody. I recently purchased a 2019 accord 1.5T with about 129K miles for $7200. I love the car and it has been amazing.

I had no choice but to get a new car after my transmission failed on my 06 accord. Im financing this car bc i dont have the money upfront.

I never had luck with older cars. I had a 2005 Kia Sorento that died, and now the 2006 Honda accord died as well. I tried to get something newer and ended up finding this car for a really good deal. The car is literally in phenomenal condition, no scratches, and looks almost brand new. Carfax is clean with no accidents, regular maintenance done on time like brakes, rotor oil changes, transmission and break fluid flushes.

My problem is after buying this car, I looked online and heard a bunch of issues about the 1.5t having head gasket issues. Guys, I don't have a lot of money, and if this car breaks, I'm completely fucked. I need this car.

Are these issues really overblown. If not, what can I do to take care of the car. Don't care about racing people. I'm not the type of guy to floor the car down and race people. Im just a point a to point b guy.
