just had my car serviced for 90k. Also faced engine vibration. Brought it to GA Nilai...a friend works there. Checked the engine mounting etc. Found out the cause of the vibration is due to bad compressor. New parts on its way. Will send the car back to GA for replacement. Will update here soon after replacement made done.

they keep coming up with new tech, but one thing really pissing me off is they are ignoring a very long due fundamental issues of almost all range of honda (i am the accord owner) = the vibration during idling & cabin noise. I believe this 2 fundamental issues can be resolved easily (Nissan and Toyota seems to tackle this long long time ago), but i wondering why Honda has been ignoring this very basis element especially for C and D segment car. Paying for 170k car that vibrate more than my old 60k Sentra is really upsetting me.

Hope Honda can get the above resolve in the 10th gen version.

If they get rid of the above, then honda can be considered one of the almost perfect car for the price and package offered in the market.

Idling vibration. Some sc suggest its as normal.

Some owner as in fb fight and get replacement of engine/transmission mounting due to this problem

Change new mounting is only temporary solution? Since it is the vibration that makes those wear out.

Toyota definitely is a good japanese car
but the calculator clock really put me off la. so 80s
even in their premium models..
that is the one thing you will see day in day out

first time driving a mid-sized sedan? =)

no worries, i had the same problem when i bought the F10. the sales person taught me a neat trick, there's no need to assume or guess how close you are to the front, just use the wipers as gauge as guidance soon, you'll be able to "feel".

Yeap, of course the reference point will change but you don't change your seating every day, do you o_O!

Honda's warranty book clearly stated that the warranty does not cover "wear and tear" so DRLs burning out constitute that. I assumed that your car isn't recently purchased?

As much as "quality control" can be ensured for durability, there is no 100% fault free manufacturing.

That's how the corporate world works

Ideal in theory, impractical in nature.

Making a "big fuss" isn't really Malaysian style unless the complainant has like a group of 50 - 100 backing him up, usually, the car manufacturers would just basically waste your time by asking you to go back for inspection after inspection. An average Malaysia does not have the luxury of time to waste and eventually when you are fed up, you'd just give up and find the solution yourself.

Take VW for example, few years back when their infamous DSG was plagued with problems so bad that owners literally get to only use their car for 2 months out of a year. VW did not give a jacks**** about it earlier until the entire VW owners club took to the streets and social media just exponentially exploded the entire matter. Then and only then VW's spokesperson in Malaysia decided to step in and wayang abit.

Compare this to Peugeot, when the 508 was launched, there are so many problems lingering with this car that with every "inspection" sprouts a new issue that cannot be fixed. Most notably is with the "turbo" which is constantly clogged with engine oil, what Peugeot simply say is that "oh, the turbo is not suitable for Malaysian weather - not a defect - just the weather incompatibility". That is like lifting a middle finger directly to your face and then rubbing it all over.

Peugeot at the time does not command a large market share (even now) so there is little to almost no one that can create an impact large enough to make their France HQ to even lift their toe.

Yeah, it seems absurd that we drivers are supposedly to have "warranty by right" claims need to succumb to service centres' goodwill in order to enforce it and whilst some may give it to you (since it does not affect them at all) but they are more incline to reject it because they need to write and submit a report to the claims department as to the circumstances that gave rise to the claim.

If i'm being honest, I am not sure if I will ever trust VW or Peugeot anymore, even if their products are proven to be superior out of the box. That little faith I have in them, just died. That's why no matter how much people praised the new Passat and no matter how many great reviews that car magazines wrote about it, I swear that I will never spent a single cent on VW.

VW in Germany is like the equivalent to Proton/Perodua and Peugeot shares the same hierarchy but not sure why Malaysia people seems to praised these 2 brands as if they were God sent. Maybe, jusst maybe, it's a continental car that Malaysians can afford without breaking the bank.

It is rare however for Japanese make car to run into problems which requires massive warranty claims unless you are really unlucky, getting a "lemon car" delivered to you.

I know of someone who drives the 10th generation Civic and whilst everyone is happily revving their turbo engine, he has his car sent to the service centre on his 12k mile run. Until now, the SC cannot diagnose the problem and tell him what it wrong and he was so furious and heartbroken to see that his car was just sitting at the end of the corner of the SC workshop with all the bumpers stripped off and front bonnet opened up, just like scraped car.

guys, my millage already about 190k KM. I am about to service my car, but I couldn't find my service booklet! Do you think the service center took my service booklet during my last 180K Service?

yes of course they do have record. Does it take into account when selling this car to used car? Normally they want full service by honda right?

mine got and it is there when i received my car brand new sept 2017.
havent got time to go to sc to ask them about it

rear left at rearlamp got body area not painted .. can see gray undercoat

also, the paint finish is really rubbish very easy to get scratch on the black color

don’t think so it’s “not painted” as the paint process are fully computerised. maybe damages during transportation or when it was stored in the sales centre.

honda’s paint are known to be “soft” hence very prone to scratches no matter how light a pressure is applied on it. try lightly brushed the underside of your nail on the paint and see the fine hairline scratches miraculously appear. it’s the characteristic of its Kansai paint.

the crystal black pearl is a nightmare to take care of
but when done properly, amazing appearance.

hi planning to buy a second hand accord 2.4 2014 which already drive for 96000km....inside the condition is super best.

now was worry two thing
on 96000km nid to change anything major?
do Accord 2.4 will have high different fuel comsuption if compare fo my vios?

Not terrible, it's just the characteristic of "soft paint". Relatively cheaper than "hard paint" so the saving in costs can be transferred to consumers. Well, at least it's easier to do paint correction =)

Just got hold of a Dec'17 Accord 2.4VTi-L Advance and registerd 10 days ago, got about rm11,888 discount. Modern steel was the color.

Discovered that there was no navigation apps and tried using the Android Auto link but the Google app was not available for Msia. Screwup #1

Auto door locking was not available. Screwup #2

Puddle lights on doors also none. Screwup #3

Outside noise intrusive and could be heard loudly. Screwup #4

Boot was not powered and closing it required slamming. Screwup #5

Leather seats not offering enough bum support. Screwup #6

More discoveries are coming but I hope not that much for the top-of-range Honda!
Just got car back from Gyeon coating, inside + outside to make cleaning more pleasureable. My 2sen for your perusal.

D:

why not just opt for paint?

just to share, i have a few friends that had their car wrapped in full, reputable brand summore, only recently when they tried to remove it, they couldn't get a clean removal off the roof and the wrap actually took off some of the car paint.

the reason cited is that our Malaysian weather is too hot for these wrap and partly also due to Honda's nature of paint. It's just to fragile to be tempered with so unless you don't intend to remove it after you applied the wrap then i suggest you proceed with caution.

they had it on for at least 2 years i think.

Really? But almost all of my G9 accord friend notice vibration issue. Maybe everyone have different expectations but I do agree there is vibration
