Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the contact noticed smoked underneath the hood without warning. The vehicle was pulled into a parking lot, where an independent mechanic lifted the hood, and stated that the alternator was smoking. Prior to that failure, the same dealer replaced the steering pump and the starter in 2015 when the steering pump leaked and destroyed the starter.
I bought my 2008 honda accord coupe ex-l v6 mt on july 08. Since the first 300+ miles, I am getting steering wheel vibration when the car reach 55 - 75MPH+. I went to the dealer to check full alignment, 4 wheels balance, I even did the hunter 9700 road force for all wheels and tires. And, I am still having the same problem. This is a almost $30,000 car, I do not think it should has such a lemon car.
