Honda Accord Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Nov | 2009 | 174000 | 640 | CEL P0420. Per Honda SM 100% CAT, wanted $1,500. Per My debug & indp shop likely 1 of the 02 (A/F) sensors and NOT the cat. Shop thought front 02 sensor, I thought rear 02. I buy OEM parts. Did front sensor first. Not it. 2 weeks later, rear 02 sensor replaced. THIS WAS IT! Shop likes to replace cat bc this sensor rusts to it, but only need new sensor. P0420 not always the CAT. Check fuel inj. temp sender, coolant temp, front A/F or 02 sensor and rear 02 (mose likely). |
| Oct | 2010 | 190000 | 20 | Automatic trany's, are failure prone. Found by OA, high Aluminum @ 54ppm (OK is 5-10). Since then, I've been doing extreme ATF changes, using AMSOil Univ-ATF. I'm down to 8ppm, after several Drain/ Refills of the ATF, and doing @ 7.5k mi. |
| Apr | 2011 | 196000 | 0 | This appears to be somewhat common: P0700, P1739. No CEL/MIL. I check for codes at fuel up (ScanGage2). I see this code, every 1-2 years. I think it a computer bug. ECU thinks it should see a response in x-seconds, and not happen in time... |
| Aug | 2011 | 201000 | 370 | Rear hydrologic vacuum ctrl motor mount.Clunk noise after engine starts,esp in the morning.Vibration,odd feeling during hard acceleration,like the engine is moving around.After replacement,feels much smother. 170 for part, 200 to replace. |
| Sep | 2011 | 201000 | 0 | Unknown source rattle, mid-front exhaust area, intermittent: Most likely the CAT. Unable to conclusively isolate noise. Could be internal to exhaust manifold down pipe (between engine and CAT). Sounds like two pipe hitting each other. Timing Belt service, cost $800: Both belts, and tensioner pulleys, all seals and gasket, water pump, and spark plugs and tubes (everything). Including check/ setting valve adjust, and oil/ filter change. |
| Sep | 2012 | 212000 | 0 | P0420 is back (bad CAT). Like the last time MIL/CEL showed up just after SMOG test. I passed with flying colors! Last time the rear 02 sensor became slow, but did not throw a MIL. I have not checked for this yet. I have reset the CEL 3x. |
| Jan | 2013 | 213000 | 0 | P0420 Went a way. And, No pending codes??? |
| Apr | 2013 | 220000 | 0 | P0420 Returned on 4-1-13 Not a joke. Was on till last week and it went away on 4-13-13. I reset the CEL twice during this time period. The CAT cost ~$1100 from the dealer. |

Ordered module, but realized they couldn't code keys to work with new computer. Referred to dealer. Dealer diagnosed problem as faulty thermostat, not faulty computer.
