I've driven Hondas that are 20yrs old that never had such issues. You'd think Toyota & Subaru know how to get the basics down this day and age.

I can only imagine what's going to happen in the coming months when the warranty expires...


OP, sorry to hear you're having problems with your twin this early on, but in reality every manufacturer has their share of problems.


My 2006 Honda cracked the engine block in 2 places because the cooling journals were milled too close to the outside of the engine (all '06, '07 and some '08 models with aluminum blocks have the potential of doing the same), premature tire wear requiring replacement of upper control arms, cracked sunshades.


My wife didn't fare any better with her 2004 Accord that blew a trans at 120K (admittedly higher mileage). She's not an aggressive driver by any means. My buddy had the same year and model Accord and his trans went within 1,000 miles of hers.


Get the most out of your warranty while it's still in effect. Hopefully your experiences are because of yours being an early model.
