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.

| Mar | 2009 | 157000 | 106 | Bad thermostat. 420--O2 sensor or cat converter is thought to be bad. But car is not noticeably malfunctioning. |
| Apr | 2009 | 158000 | 50 | rear bushings had been noisy for a year. Mechanic had orginally (a year ago) said it was not a big worry. Once I brought the car for an oil change expecting to get the bushings done and he'd forgotten to get the parts. I finally had it done. |
| Jul | 2009 | 162000 | 81 | overheating in heavy traffic on hot day |
| Mar | 2010 | 172000 | 150 | Awful noise when steering, turned out to be two bad ball joints |
| Apr | 2010 | 173000 | 100 | Overheating. shop installed t'stat. Next day, still was overheating as I drove Boston-Virginia. Shop in VA found air pocket in coolant, bled coolant, seems to have fixed. T-stat may not have been nec. tstat was only 1 yr old. |
| May | 2010 | 175000 | 250 | bad ball joint (third of the year). New balljoint tightened up steering like new. bubble found in coolant. Fixed. No parts replaced, no software, no reflash. The car has worked fine now for the last month. |

| Sep | 2010 | 180000 | 74 | New strut rattled. There have been several trips. I have not been charged, and I have been given a loaner car every time. But something is wrong with new strut that causes rattling which mechanic keeps trying to fix. bolt apparatus holding swaybar to chassis was broken, and replaced. Total cost: $74 |
| Nov | 2010 | 183000 | 0 | same problem with strut: shop tried aftermarket strut, then OEM, both rattled like crazy. Problem fixed with Monroe strut. No rattle! brake line began leaking while mechanic was testing car. He says strut replacements may have damaged it from manipulation during strut work; my guess: it would have gone soon anyway. $62 |
| Jun | 2011 | 192000 | 980 | Engine overheated up to 224 degrees, according to scan gauge. Coolant fan switch was replaced. I'm not sure problem is fully fixed. Car normally runs in 180s, now running mostly in 190s & up to 210 Noise from brakes. Rear drums rotted, drums & shoes replaced. front brakes, including rotor needed replacement. That was done. Car is fine. |
| Jul | 2011 | 194000 | 300 | Ball joint had gone dry. Mechanic greased it. Did not charge. Body rot next to left rear wheel well, about 4-5 inches of rot. Shop cut the rust out, welded replacement metal in, painted. |
