If not, I'm sure there is an aftermarket way to have that feature added. It's not gonna be "auto" -- meaning, the lights won't turn on when it's dark (like many modern cars have, including our other car, an '06 Sonata) but at least you know you won't be stranded with an empty battery, if you park your car leaving the lights on by mistake.
I think even the slightest vibration of the engine can still be easily transmitted to the steering wheel. It depends largely on the effectiveness of the engine mounts to minimize these vibrations. I also think some of these active engine mounts work better than others. Maybe a re-programing of the system, or an adjustment of certain mounts (similar to the TSB for 4cyl. models) could address this. It's something I would look into, or try myself, if the situation came up on my car.
plz let me know any problemes you had to deal with.....same milage or more
Can you adjust the engine mounts? Or just replace them?
And when you say "try myself" what do you mean? Can you adjust or replace the mounts yourself?
Tails light & back-up could share the same fuse.
The dealer told me replacing the bulb would cost more than it would be worth to me - he didn't even give me a price. He knew I wouldn't spend 1+ hr labor charge for a bulb like that.
It IS illuminated, that's a load of garbage. Take a look at any 2005 Accord on any used lot to back up your claim.
Thx again.
My daughter's 89 honda accord xl is filling with water on the passenger side floor in the front and back. One person said it was the windshield and sent her to the appropriate place. They told her that they were sure is was a body issue. A cold winter with a car full of water and a worried mother. does anyone have any insight. Could there possibly be drain holes in the bottom of the car body that are plugged. I know nothing about cars but just wondering. Thank you in advance. cheri

Good luck.
VPS DO NOT HAVE AUTO HEADLIGHTS. That line probably looks familiar. I'm never sure of trimlines. It's all greek to me.

Honda still offers a Civic DX ($15,010 for the sedan).
Honda's base-model Accord is now an LX ($20,360 for the sedan)
The HX Civic was a lean-burning engine that utilized a CVT, a transmission well-received in Nissan's line of vehicles. The Civic HX debuted in 1996, as a followup to the Civic VX hatchback.
But I also was surprised by the wind and road noise in the Accord. How hard can it be to better insulate the car while it's being built?
More to the point, what can we Accord owners do to help ourselves? What's been found to be the most cost effective cures in reducing wind and road noise in our beloved Accords?
I used to own an '03 Accord EXV6 & I just bought a '08 Accord EX-L 4cyl. Both with bad road noise issues.
I am going to try dynamat on the inside of the trunk lid & buy a Honda trunk lid insulator as a first step (standard on V6 models). After that I am open to suggestions. Thought about finding a spray application for the wheel well liners but nothing is waterproof that I found.

I found my 07 AV6 is pretty quiet. I have Diamond-Kote Pemium Sound Shield & rust protection. It's noise level is at par with a camry. You can find some quieter tires at TireRack.
BUT if there are comparable cars (same model and same model year, 'cause there ARE differences between the '05 and the '06, for instance, as one can read in the link mentioned above...), and some/most of them do NOT vibrate, then obviously we, the owners of those V6 Accords that excessively vibrate, have a case and should demand Honda's attention....
Indeed. The difference between my dad's 2005 EX 4-cyl and my 2006 EX 4-cyl was discernable (he now has a 2007 Civic EX, so obviously the noise wasn't a problem for my parents - my dad wanted a sportier drive though, and bought the Civic after a pretty trouble-free 70k miles in his 05 Accord).
Speaking of tires, I have 29k miles on my Michelin OEM tires and have no complaints. Plenty of wear left. I wouldn't replace them with the same tire however - the price is outrageous. I'd likely try and put Bridgestone's Potenza G009, which I already have on my 1996 Accord LX.
I just think for a V6, the vibrations are excessive...

I would have to see this "fastener" to understand what I would do about it. Have a picture?
Any input from owners of 03-07 Accord is greatly appreaciated. Thanks.
There shouldn't be any hurry... mine are at 40,000 and still fine.
Either way I've never had a car long enough to replace all the brakes. I've had a couple where I've needed to replace the front pads, and one set of rotors. The 95 Accord EX, which were cracked. Gggrrrr. Oh well I don't have that car any more. I still love that car and in some ways wish I still had it, but I'm not complaining. But I digress.
I think 20,000 is too soon. My mom's friend had hers replaced in a car about every 30k, but she is one that likes her speed and then consequently has to mash on them. Digressing again, I'm going to stop now.
