I'll be talking about the top five problems with the eighth generation Honda Accord.
First off, let's talk about the alternator. It's located at the front of the engine and is attached to the drive belt. Its job is to maintain the battery charge. Sometimes, while driving, you might encounter issues like sudden stalls. I've experienced this myself, and the battery charging indicator on the dashboard warned me beforehand.
The second problem is ignition coils. They're located above the spark plugs and are responsible for providing spark. If one of these coils fails, it can lead to misfires and engine shaking.
The third problem is the crankshaft position sensor. It can trigger a flashing check engine light and starting issues.
The fourth problem is catalytic converters. They can cause error codes like P0420 or P0430 and poor acceleration. It's important to check for air or exhaust leaks.
And finally, the fifth problem is the blower motor. If it's making loud noises or not working at all, it might need replacement.
To address these issues, it's important to regularly monitor your car's condition and perform routine maintenance.
