2009 Honda Accord Review, Problems, Reliability, Value, Life Expectancy, MPG (2024)

Jan 31, 2022

Higher priced than other midsize cars ranging from $6,660 to $10,968, the 2009 model is a bad year with more complaints than newer models. Frequent engine and brake problems give the Accord a shorter-than-average lifespan at only 150,000 miles.

2009 Honda Accord Review, Problems, Reliability, Value, Life Expectancy, MPG (1)

The Good

Performance is good with the optional V6 engine, the sedan has class-leading rear legroom, and the car is more engaging to drive than other budget-friendly midsize cars.

The Bad

There are a lot of engine problems compared to other model years, the seats are very uncomfortable according to owners, and there’s less cargo space than the rivals.

2009 Honda Accord: Quick Overview

  • We rate the 2009 Honda Accord’s reliability as poor, even though J.D. Power gave it a great rating when the car was new. This lower rating is based on problems with the brakes and engines which develop as the car ages.
  • Two engine choices are available including a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder, and a V6 with excellent power for a midsize car.
  • Fuel economy is average, ranking 5th out of 12 midsize cars from 2009, getting a combined rating of up to 25 miles per gallon.
  • Safety ratings are excellent for the class, with a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests, and a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
  • The 2009 Honda Accord ranks 2nd out of 12 midsize vehicles based on owner reviews. Although the Accord ranks highly compared to other midsize cars, the 2009 model year is a bad choice, and one buyers should avoid.

The most important thing I should know my car is to how to use it

I like my Honda. It is very reliable. It is worth the price.

Michaelanthony Q

She is good on gas, and a perfect first or second car.

I love my car because it hasn't let me down, ever. Given the year she was made, she gets pretty good gas mileage. She's big enough for my growing family, but not too big and most people sit in her comfortably even when she is full.

catherine T

My Honda is very reliable. I have had my car since 2011 and love it. I recommend if looking for a vehicle,check out Honda. Great.

No problems,very reliable,much comfort for me. I would buy another Honda. I like the body. I have no problems with nothing that can't be taken care of. The Honda service from dealerships and servicing the car is excellent.

Meghan E

I will always recommend Honda for their excellence in safety.

I have owned my Honda Accord since 2009; bought brand new. I love it! It is one of the best cars I have owned. Very reliable and has had the normal repairs and maintenance so far. I love the colors, exterior and interior. The sound system is very nice. I tend to play music loud and the full sound is great. I really like the sensor that tells you when to change the oil and how much oil life is left. It is a very smooth ride and performs well on the highway and around town. I am a traveling music teacher and use it almost every day.

Madeline C

It is very reliable. It never breaks down.

It is so nice, very reliable. It never has any problems or breaks down at all. It is so good. I love it.

Jen C

It is dependable and reliable and gets me to where I need to go.

I love that my car is dependable and reliable. Honda makes high quality products that are a good value. This is my second accord and I don't have any complaints.

sam v

I like that it is loaded and the price it was. I like that it has been a good car for several years. I do not like that it was in excellent condition, used, when we bought it and after my teenage son had it a couple years and my littles messed it up after that.

It has been very reliable for it to be almost nine years old.

Dj F

It is a very reliable car.

So far the only problem I've had is the engine got of of time and had to be retimed, which wasn't too bad, considering I did it myself.

George Jetson

Piece of Junk

It has 143k miles. I have replaced the power steering rack twice, airbag and piston ring recalls, part of the wiring system replaced, still blows fuses, dome lights blow. The leather did not wear well, roof liner falling apart, paint peeling, TPMS issues. In the last three years I have replaced TPMS sensors three times on all four wheels, oxygen sensor, replaced sensor that activates airbags. I'm getting rid of it in December 2020. Never again Honda!

Jaclyn

PIECE OF JUNK

PIECE OF JUNK!! DO NOT BUY!! I have been arguing with Honda since I bought the car about the oil consumption and they lied right to my face saying nothing was wrong with it until it was out of warranty! The motor blew up from sticking piston rings right after I had my timing belt replaced. Honda sees nothing wrong!! Bunch of liars and scam artists selling pieces of junk! I’d give 0 stars if I could. Arguing with Honda for 5 years now over this.

Dave stock

Not getting ripped off.

Absolutely not. Burning oil . Lawsuit in 2012 to correct an engine problem that Honda tried to cover up. 2009 Accord out of the lawsuit range. $2300 for engine job. Honda screwed me. No more Honda for me.

Michael G

Aesthetically it looks good, but lacks in luxury comfort and performance.

After owning the vehicle for a short period of time I started to feel a significant deterioration of the interior comfort as well as the vehicle performance. I have been forced to perform a great deal of unplanned maintenance outside of the normal maintenance.

Jaime H

Most reliable car I've owned.

A little aged at this point but by far most reliable car I've ever owned. Very smooth driving and handling, to have anything fixed on it is very affordable and easy to get done. Haven't had any major problems besides normal wear and tare. No crazy features in my model.

mandy l

I think others should know about the airbag in this car because recently they recalled back the car just for the airbag.

I like it is easy to use and travel, however recently the engine suddenly stop a lot when I tried to start up the car.

Tanya M

Honda's are cost efficient vehicles that are extremely reliable.

My vehicle has been very reliable. I love the maintenance reminders on the vehicle as well. There has not been a lot that I dislike about it.

Kevin S

It's a good car, good gas mileage for my commute. I just personally prefer a truck.

It's holding up very well and gets good mileage for my long commute.

What Problems Does the 2009 Honda Accord Have?

There are more problems with the 2009 Honda Accord than other midsize cars from the same year. The 2011 model offers serious improvements, making the extra $1,000 worth the cost for shoppers looking for a more reliable version of the Accord.

Premature brake wear is the most common problem owners have. The pads and rotors both wear out sooner than other vehicles, only lasting about 28,000 miles. When they wear out, the only solution is to replace the components, costing about $300.

Excessive oil consumption is another frequent issue, becoming more common around 70,000 miles. There is a technical service bulletin from Honda to update the software on the variable cylinder management system. Sometimes the software update does not fix the problem, and replacing pistons and rings costs over $1,000.

Uncomfortable seats are one of the most common complaints from owners. Some owners solve the problem affordably by putting pillows on the seats. Other people have replaced the seats with aftermarket solutions, costing over $1,500.

There are 11 recalls, which is more than other midsize cars from 2009. They include the automatic transmission control module software which improves responsiveness. The additional 9 recalls are for the airbags, and once repaired are not a concern.

How Much is the 2009 Honda Accord Worth?

Ranging in price from $6,660 to $10,698, depending on the model and mileage, the 2009 Honda Accord is more expensive than other midsize cars including the Altima and Sonata. When new, the price range was $20,905 to $31,155. Depreciation is average for the class, dropping about 10% in value per year on the used market.

How Long Will the 2009 Honda Accord Last?

A properly cared for 2009 Honda Accord will last about 150,000 miles, which is shorter than other years for the Accord. According to Repair Pal, annual maintenance costs are $364 per year, which is $100 cheaper than some competitors including the Altima.

There are some components which start to fail around 100,000 miles, and buyers should be prepared to replace them. The parts include serpentine belts for around $100, the yaw sensor for $650, and the mass air pressure sensor costing $150.

Kara P

The vehicle is very relatable! I travel frequently for work and it has yet to fail me. I'd take it across the country(in which I have) without a fear of issues.

Kay M

It is a reliable vehicle if it is properly maintained. It will continue to run for years if oil changes, tune ups and other routine maintenance is done in a timely fashion.

Kaya M

Not really, no problems that I have came across yet. But that is also BC I just got it about 3 months ago.

Katherine B

It is very reliable. I have personally never had any problems with my Honda accord. The only complaint would be that my key broke not long after I acquired the car.

H K

It is very reliable. It has lasted over 300,000 miles and has had much fewer problems than other cars I have had with fewer miles.

Konstantina N

It is very reliable, as my general experience with Honda's has been. It was in one accident, but has not given me any problems beyond the typical wear and tear issues like needing new tires, alignments, etc.

Brandi N

Yes, the accord is very reliable. The car has been serviced regularly for routine maintenance. The only problem has been two oil filters with holes due to running over something.

Michael W

I haven't had any major problems with my Honda lx coupe because I keep regular maintenance on my vehicle the only thing I have had to change plus brake pads and oil change other than that it is a awesome ride.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology in the 2009 Honda Accord is above average for the class, offering some minor improvements from the older 2008 model year.

  • Standard technology includes a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo system with a 3.5mm AUX input.
  • Optional upgrades include a premium 7-speaker stereo system, an 8-inch infotainment screen with navigation, as well as Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
  • Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, airbags, along with stability and traction control systems.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is a strong suit for the 2009 Honda Accord. The more powerful V6 engine takes the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, which is quick for the class.

  • A 2.4L 4-cylinder is standard on Accord, and has 190 horsepower.
  • The upgraded engine is a 3.L V6 with 271 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Accord?

The 2009 Honda Accord is available as both a coupe and sedan, with the sedan having similar exterior dimensions to the Toyota Camry. Passenger room is class-leading in the Accord sedan with plenty of legroom in the back seats. On the other hand, the coupe is very cramped for adult passengers. The 14 cubic feet of room in the trunk of the sedan and 11.9 cubic feet in the coupe is enough to fit 3 to 4 suitcases.

How Does the 2009 Honda Accord Compare to Other Cars?

Ranking 2nd out of 12 midsize cars based on owner reviews, the 2009 Honda Accord is near the top of the class.

The only car with a higher rating is the Mazda6, which is slightly more affordable. Where the Mazda stands out is with a higher quality interior, and fewer mechanical problems. The Accord has a more powerful base engine, and better technology. Overall, the Mazda6 wins out simply because they have less problems for the 2009 model, but in other years the competition is much closer.

Another rival is the more expensive Toyota Camry. The Camry has a smoother suspension, and more luxurious touches throughout the cabin. Where the Accord comes out ahead is with a more engaging driving experience, and better standard infotainment technology. In most years both the Accord and Camry get our recommendation, but for 2009 both just have too many problems to recommend either one.

Final Verdict: Is the 2009 Honda Accord a Good Car?

No, the 2009 Honda Accord is not a good car. Although there is a combined rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars based on 415 verified owner reviews, we found serious engine issues as the cars age. The positives include an engaging driving experience with the powerful V6, and more technology than some of the rivals. Where the Accord misses the mark is with more problems than other years, and uncomfortable seats. Overall we do like the Accord, but 2009 is a bad year to get. Going with a 2011 model is a better choice for $1,000 more since you will have significantly fewer problems.

Kara P

The most important thing others should know about my car is its quality. It does not make you trouble

It is a comfortable and strong car but not very economical.

Michael G on April 4, 2021

2009 Honda Accord is an excellent classy and dependable vehicle to own.

My 2009 Honda Accord is an excellent vehicle. It is very dependable as long as you keep up with your normal maintenance, etc. It is excellent on gas mileage and it is comfort in driving is excellent. Its features are supreme. You have the comfort of air condition, heat, remote lock and unlocking the doors, excellent power steering with radio and CD player included. This car is fully loaded with all the features you can image. This vehicle has lasted a very long time and is a very dependable vehicle and classy car.

Nancy K on March 29, 2021

Save money in comfort and style.

Honda Accords are great on gas mileage and reliability. I like that it is low maintenance and when I have to replace tires, I do not go bankrupt doing it. Comfort level is better in the newer models, with adjustable seating, seat and steering wheel warmers, etc.

Vanessa R on March 28, 2021

Poor quality wish I would have opted for a different Honda

The accord has had so many brake issues. I've had to do the transmission because of bad transmission from Honda. The leather in the interior is not worth the money. It feels like Honda chose the cheapest leather it cracks and splits. I should have just but a standard ex

Antonio M on March 24, 2021

Best car ever highly recommend to anyone.

I love my car. It's good on gas and easy to fix. This is my first car and I haven't had any problems so far. Over 3 years of me personally having it.

Cory M on March 23, 2021

I think i would like people to know that Honda accords are super reliable vehicles

This is the only car I've ever owned in my life. I have survived a car accident in it and to have not had any major problems with it. I view cars as tools and this one has been a very reliable tool over the last 8 years that I've owned it

Dennis K on March 20, 2021

Get sport model or V6. 4 cylinder accelerates sluggishly.

Does not accelerate fast enough, known brake issues with this model and make. Brake pads wear down to quick. Car is otherwise reliable and has good mpg on average 25 mpg.

latina k on March 19, 2021

Take me to places and is still reliable and does not take up a lot of gas. Save me money

It is still reliable after all these years and is comfortable for me

Morgan M on March 15, 2021

They are durable cars and you can expect to get many miles out your vehicle.

I love my Honda and plan to get 2-300, 000 miles out of the car. One issue I do have is with recalls and such but overall the company is a great one to purchase a car from. These cars are timeless. Although it is a 09 I still feel proud riding down the road in my car. My leather seats are really comfortable and make any long distance drive a breeze.

Deidre H on March 15, 2021

How many miles you can expect out of it. Maintenance plan.

My car is almost 10 yrs. Old, NO problems, I LOVE it! It's the first new car I've ever bought. Has a little over 100,000 miles and runs like new.

Gwen B on March 15, 2021

Love my Accord - used car but feels like new.

I very much enjoy being in my car. I looked for one with a sunroof. It has heated seats but I could live without them, I do very much like that the side mirrors defrost when you turn on the rear window defroster. Have had minor repairs/replacements but nothing serious.

Susan J on March 13, 2021

If you follow the Honda maintenance recommendations it will cost you a fortune.

I like the way I drives and the gas mileage.

Mohammad M on March 9, 2021

It's a perfect car with good speed.

Nothing is wrong with the car runs perfectly fine no major problems. And I love it so much lol. Don't want a different car.

Quan F on March 5, 2021

It's white, v6, gasoline. It's fast

I love my Honda Accord it's the best car ever and I love to drive it fast it's a v6c you should get one.

Lana L on March 5, 2021

Fuel efficient and reliable

Reliable, Safe. Fuel efficient. This is my 3rd Accord and they have all been good cars. They are safe and sturdy as well as fuel efficient. I've had a few minor issues but not more than any other car. My car has 160000 miles on it.

Kyle S on March 4, 2021

My 2009 Accord reliability and comfort.

Very smooth riding, easy to operate, handles very well, so long as regular maintenance i.e. Oil changes, brake pads, tires, etc. Car is a very reliable car. Got it after it had been in a collision with a deer and rebuilt and haven't had a single problem. Over 175000 miles and it drives like new.

Perry S on March 2, 2021

I really like that the doors automatically lock when you get to ten miles per hour I had two late model Infiniti's that didn't do that. Cheers to the Honda Accord.

I'm very happy with my Accord mainly because nothing seems to go wrong with it. It's so low maintenance that I only take it to Honda once a year for an oil change. I don't drive very much which also explains a lot. The reason I bought it was because I very good friend of mine bought one and had it for almost 20 years and he had very few problems. I would recommend the Honda Accord to anyone and everyone.

Judy N on March 1, 2021

It maintains a very good resale value and is low maintenance

I bought my car new in 2009 and it has not ever given any trouble. It is dependable and I really enjoy driving it.

Angela H on February 25, 2021

Hon-hon's a great sedan!!

I really enjoy my car, a 2009 Honda Accord sedan. I affectionately call her hon-hon. She's been through a lot. She's resilient. She's taken a licking' and kept on ticking. I haven't had many problems and recently put a little work into her. Great ride, runs well for her age!

Elizabeth S on February 20, 2021

Like I said before the space is one of the highlights.

From previous Honda's I think their pretty reliable cars, even with high mileage if you take care of the car, tune-up, oil changes, etc...they can last for a very long time. Plus if you have any issues it won't break your pockets to fix. Very spacious including the trunk especially if you have kids and a lot of luggage.

Shannon M on February 19, 2021

Sporty car for car enthusiasts sleek look and design

Very Reliable and extremely sporty Speed is pretty good too comfort for a small car is amazing but if you are a heavier person it's a tight fit

Harry C on February 18, 2021

A great car. I would consider buying another Hondam.

I had the car for near the ten years. I have not had any problems with the car. I have enjoy driving the car.

Alex M on February 17, 2021

No free rides in my car man.

Sha M on February 16, 2021

Honda where it is at for value.

Very reliable and economical for me. Low maintenance and valuable car. Affordable and a go to car for my first car. I will recommend this car to other people in my family. I value their brand and the things that the company have. Honda is where it is at.

Julie B on February 13, 2021

It never let me down so far, holds the road very well and purrs when taken good care of.

It is reliable and easy to maintain, pleasure to drive both in the city and on a highway.

Michele B on February 12, 2021

Reliable and dependable auto.

Very comfo, sunroof, reliable car. I am buying another when this is too old. We have had the standard auto care only. It as 150,000 and nothing too major. The biggest fix was the stabilizer bar and struts. If course whole new exhaust system. We have had for 5 years.

roger m on February 10, 2021

Janice L on February 8, 2021

If you take care of it, it will last for many years.

I love my Honda, it is the first car I bought after leasing for years. I have over 200,000 miles and have had no major problems. My mechanic and a friend state that I have taken care of and and Honda is the best car that lasts.

Jennifer L on February 7, 2021

A safe and reliable vehicle at an affordable price.

I love that my Accord is a reliable vehicle. It doesn't have a lot of fancy bells and whistles, but it gets me to where I need to go. This is my second Accord and I like that it is familiar and easy to drive.

The functionality works very well. It all works very smoothly.

The interior and exterior design is very nice. I also like the way it drives.

mandy l on February 4, 2021

I think others should know about the airbag in this car because recently they recalled back the car just for the airbag.

I like it is easy to use and travel, however recently the engine suddenly stop a lot when I tried to start up the car.

taylor b on January 31, 2021

It is extremely dependable and I have never had any issues with it.

I like that it is small, has good gas mileage and is dependable and affordable.

Does not cause many problems. Easy to drive, and enough space for everything- groceries, equipment and people. It is a very low-maintenance car.

Brittany Y on January 20, 2021

Comfortable, reliable and wonderful!

Comfortable- large space in the back seat and can fit 5 people comfortably Reliable- I have over 225,000 miles on it and have only had to have minor maintenance on it The leather interior and all power seats and locks make it super comfortable and easy to go on long road trips with the family!

Milton P on January 14, 2021

It will run well for many years. About ten years or so.

Dents easy is a dislike. What I like is that It's motor runs well after many years.

susan t on January 12, 2021

It is great and low gas mileage can go anywhere

Good on gas and mileage and low maintenance and good quality

Sultan C on January 7, 2021

The car is a coupe; those who ride with me will likely end up in the back seat.

Like - it is the exact car I wanted. It is a manual transmission vehicle so not too many people know how to drive.... Dislike - the headlights are stock, would love for it to have more sporty looking headlights. Also, the moonroof is broken and it is too expensive to fix ($1000)..

Reg M on December 29, 2020

10 years old with 50k miles

I like that it has ample head and leg room, takes regular gas and gets good gas mileage. Also I like the sunroof and spoiler. I do not like the tires lose air every time the temperature changes.

Jen C on December 28, 2020

It is dependable and reliable and gets me to where I need to go.

I love that my car is dependable and reliable. Honda makes high quality products that are a good value. This is my second accord and I don't have any complaints.

Michael M on December 28, 2020

It is mechanically sound.

It drives well. It is comfortable to ride in. I don't like the all black interior.

Taylor C on December 27, 2020

Team Honda until I cannot drive anymore!

I purchased my Honda Accord pre-owned with around 45, 000 miles on it. I have almost gotten the mileage up to 90, 000 and have not had a single issue. It drives smooth, I feel safe while I drive and it is truly a nice looking car. I have taken it on multiple road trips and it performs wonderfully and is equally comfortable and spacious.

Sanjay P on December 27, 2020

Reliable and has reasonable wear and tear for ten years old.

Clean car for being 10 years old. Has had few scratch and dents but all fixed. Runs good new tires. Color white 102, 000 miles.

Ariel J on December 27, 2020

It is the most basic version so there is no leather seats or sunroof.

The car is super reliable and all while providing a nice sleek look. It is family friendly and it does pretty good with gas. I really love this car and I would recommend it as a good starter car for anyone. It has longevity and it is super smooth while driving. The engine is also pretty quiet.

Dylan M on December 21, 2020

The gas lasts me a long time no matter how much I drive.

Its reliable, I have rarely had any problems with it but I do not love driving it. It simply gets me from point a to point b.

Chamagne D on December 16, 2020

It gets good gas mileage and it looks really good.

I like most everything about my vehicle. I like the interior and exterior. The only complaint is that the lumbar support is broken.

Felecia T on December 13, 2020

I feel safe when I'm driving up to date navigation system .

I really like everything about my car,the color size mileage interior features safety features I have no complaints

Kristen S on December 12, 2020

It truly sucks. It's the worst car any of us have owned.

It's not very reliable. It constantly breaks down.
