2008 Honda Accord EXL review from North America
"Overrated car that falls short of expectations"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blinking headlights. Every 15 seconds the headlamps (as well as tail) will "flicker" - VERY annoying.
NO trunk liner! It's an OPTION!!
Transmission whine in low speeds.
General comments?
I would never had purchased this car if I had know about the faults. A trunk liner as an option? I never owned a car that such a basic thing be an option.
The headlamps flicker every 15 seconds - Honda says normal? Whats NORMAL about that? I never owned a car where the headlamps flickered.
I contacted the NHSTA about this issue. Many complaints there.
