Interior of a 2009 Honda Accord coupe Interior of a 2009 Honda Accord coupe. If you’re looking for a sporty car, the Accord coupe is a hidden gem. The interior has a nice finish. On long trips, the front seats are very comfortable. There are two engine options: a 2.4L inline-4 or a 3.5L V6.
The front suspension’s double-wishbone setup contributes to the sharp handling and precise steering. The ride of the Accord is firm, but well-controlled and comfortable. Overall, it’s a safe and dependable mid-size car, but there are a few issues to be aware of.
A faulty VTC actuator in the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine could cause a loud rattling noise during a cold start (the part that adjusts camshaft timing). When the car is first started after sitting for a few hours, the noise is audible. The VTC actuator will need to be replaced, according to the Honda service bulletin. Parts and labor are estimated to cost between $380 and $520. Will this problem worsen if it is not addressed? It most likely will, but we know of a couple of cases where owners have been driving with this problem for years. The rear brake calipers could seize or leak. One of the symptoms of a leaking brake caliper is a low brake fluid warning light.
