2006 Honda Accord

Kay · Kay

At 13k miles my near perfect Civic showed its first year bugs. As major as some sound. My dealer has been wonderful about it. I developed the power seering leak. Drivers side rear wheel spring sagged. Trunk liner sides became deformed. The drivers door window switch is wonky. The parts where ordered t...

Went in today when I found the TSB online, figured it was a 10 minute thing, and it was (generally). Remove trim check if DENSO or MITSUBA, if the latter just pop it out and replace. Of course they had to miss a clip when reattaching the trim and made them replace the clip and do it right. I do have one questio...

Honda Motor Co., LTD. is announcing a safety recall campaign for certain 2005 Accords, Accord Hybrids and Odysseys, and certain 2006 Ridgelines. On affected vehicles, a manufacturing fault with the fuel pump relay (PGM-FI Main Relay 2) could cause a coil wire inside the relay to break. If this happ...

Well just called my dealership and they checked my VIN for me and I fall in the recall campaign. My car usually starts from the first time, but two times over the last 6 months it just didn't want to start till like the 4th time. I'm having the 20,000 service done next month so they'll lump it in with that and...

My mom had a 2002 Honda Accord Special Edition in Nighthawk Black Pearl with the gold package from November 2001 until December 2006.

Thought I would show everyone my 2002 Accord SE. It has 109,000 miles and running strong. I just got the new remanufactured tranny put in and it is really smooth. I mainly do all freeway miles with no traffic and I average 26-28 MPG. I do use AMSOIL 0W-30 in the motor, which is their best fuel efficient oil...

My advice if you're thinking of lowering your car is to always go lower than you originally intended. More often than not, when people lower their cars they say " I wish it was a little lower ", it's happened to me on my past 2 BMW's. It just cost me more money to get the second set of springs and th...

I love your car accordio. It's a lot like mine, but with more goodies. If I had it to do over again, I would probably upgrade my suspension using the hfp kit rather than what I actually did. On a somewhat related note, does the front lip create any more clearance issues than those fins in front of hte front w...

A fellow scout leader bought a new Nissan Frontier Pickup 4X4 with all the bells and whistles. Great looking truck - I was jealous.

Well hummm... I drive an 02 Altima and love it. 45K on the clock and no issues (except rattles ). Wife drives an 05 Accord and loves it. I do too. I dunno, it's a tough one. If I was buying again tomorrow, I might personally pick Altima over Accord again, as I did in 02 (I personally like the stiffer ride and be...

Titan brakes have cost Nissan more money than I can imagine, and I'm not just talking the cost of repairs, which has been enormous. Think buybacks.

Thanks Benji, does anyone else have an opionion on this?? both filters and oil type? I own a 2005 honda accord ex v6 with 29,000 miles. I bought this car from a friend.

Olive · Olive

In my opinion, I don't see any benefit of having a hybrid unless you drive a lot in town. The purpose of having the hybrid is so that the gas engine has a chance to cut off or stop running when you car stops. In a freeway, you constantly moving and I don't believe the battery motor would kick it 100% of the time...

___What you have read is incorrect unfortunately. When you start pushing over 70, VCM becomes less reliable and drops out for longer periods as your speed increases. IMA does provide torque to maintain VCM but what you take away you have to put back and IMA gives away what it can very very quickly At 80 +...

Cassia · Cassia

I skimmed through the post, but the HAH is different than most hybrids. I have read that it actually gets it's best MPG at around 80 MPH because at that steady speed it cuts off 3 cylinders and is being assisted by electric. where as other hybrids use the electric assist at low speeds and only shut down the...

___A few things. Check that your tire pressures are at least pressed up to the level stated in the doors. This is way to low by the way. Secondly, since you have a NAVI equipped AH, head out onto a relatively flat highway, get up to 60 mph, reset your TC, and record the reading after 1 mile. While VCM is evoke...

Alene · Alene

I'd suggest displaying your Trip Computer on the Navi screen while you drive. As you do different things, keep an eye on how your MPG display responds. You could even try some simple hypermiling techniques to see how much of a difference they make. That's what I do, and it has helped me to recognize my ow...

Lyndi · Lyndi

I ask this question. How fast do you drive on all that highway driving? If you're like most drivers, and driving 80-90 on the interstate, there's your answer. The MPG rating tests are conducted at much lower speeds, therefore resulting in the higher numbers. Also, weather, and wind conditions also a...

Alysha · Alysha

the HAH isnt a gas miser. think of it as a more powerful engine than the V6, and dont concentrate on the MPG (peak power isnt that much more, but the IMA significantly boots low end and mid range). just like RX400h, GS450h, LS600h. the main purpose of the hybrid powertrain is to make more power, not to redu...
