May 2008 141000 60 Bad ignition switch cause occasional stalling. After it, my gas mileage on the highway improved from ~30 to 32 mpg.  
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. 
Aug 2010 179000 280 Bad strut. Strut replaced.  
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. 
Aug 2011 195000 182 Ball joint that was greased on previous trip was replaced after going dry again. Working fine now, steering noticeably tighter (to me, anyway) 
Sep 2011 196000 450 Bushings for rear swaybar were replaced. Also, it was discovered that left rear strut was beginning to go bad, so I had that replaced, too (right rear replaced last year). The aftermarket strut is rattling like crazy, must be dealt with. 
Oct 2011 198000 0 new strut was rattling like crazy. Shop replaced it. All is fine now. 
Dec 2011 198000 0 Rusted fuel tank, about to replace when car totaled.

Oct 2011 139000 58 The main fuel pump relay was replaced as it was the cause of the problem 4 years ago also. Didn't fix the problem. Have tracked the problem to the ignition switch which was replaced under a recall in 2002. Honda won't stand by the recall. 
Feb 2012 142000 352 Took car in for a tire rotation. I knew something was wrong but didn't realize the tie-rod ends were shot. Bought the parts and did both sides myself. Replaced right front and left front lower ball joints. Noticed that the sway bar links were leaking grease (these were replaced about 4 years ago) so decided to replace both Front ones while I was under there. Noticed the outer boot on the passenger side had a crack and was leaking grease.Researched cost and labor and it was just as easy to replace the whole shaft as it was to replace just a boot. Did both driver and passenger sides. 
May 2012 145000 46 The car had stalling issues. To all who have had this problem, replace the immobilizer harness!!! It was easy and you can do it yourself. 30 minutes. Talk with service dept for a deal if recall was already done. 
Jul 2012 146000 139 Drivers rear stablizer link was broke. This was the original one, so it was time. Was having tires rotated and noticed. Check engine light,faulty EGR.Removed upper intake,cleaned all ports, reinstalled and replaced the EGR Valve.Check your honda for a recall on the EGR system before tackling this job yourself.I did more than what was needed.Clean is good! 
Mar 2013 154000 18 Listened to lots of clunking in front and rear end. After watching a video from ETCG, checked the sway bars and the bushing were all shot. Replaced and now the car is very quiet again. Simple fix.
