What owners wrote

I purchased this vehicle in february 2015. The first thing that I had to fix was the axle ( output shaft ) seal leak which the honda dealer did not want to repair even though the car only had 62,000. Also, it makes a loud noise in the back when I go over the speed bump which is coming from the suspension. In addition, whenever I took the vehicle to ntb for an oil change. The mechanic told me that the rear main seal needs to be replaced because it is starting to leak motor oil.

My 2011 honda accord makes noise on cold starts. On 10/20/15, I picked up my car from honda service and they explained it as noise from the vtc actuator and stated in writing there is no repair yet available from honda. I find this unacceptable and I won't buy a honda again unless they repair this at no charge to avoid any further damage to my vehicle...I have only owned honda accords since 1989.
