1. 3 monthes ago with only 20K miles, the rear break pads were gone. Honda PARTIALY recorginzed this problem and Honda paid $150 for my $187 work at a Honda dealer;
2. Today I checked the engine oil level before my Christmas ski trip, I noticed the dipstick is EMPTY, I only changed the oil 2 monthes ago. Thanks Google, I researched, it is another common problem for accord 2008: eating engine oil even for brand new car!
