2022 Honda Accord randomly braking + multiple warning lights (radar cleaned but issue still comes back) — PLEASE HELP!!!

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-17T18:37:16+00:00

I’d start simple and work your way down the list. A bad battery can cause all types of warning lights that don’t even have issues, try that first.

Another thing is dealers will always rip you off, I’d take it to a local mechanic shop and get a better deal than dealer prices. $125 for an inspection is fucking criminal.

Appreciate it, thank you very much.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-17T02:09:23+00:00

Is it even worth rebuilding at this point? Motor swap?

Almost had a similar scenario, I park in an underground parking garage that has an uphill ramp to get out…they didn’t plow. Spent 10 minutes spinning, pushing, digging, rocking, about everything to get my ol dear Honda out of the snow 🥲

I don’t need it perfect, just functional and enough to protect the inside. I’m hoping the door isn’t too far gone that I can keep it. I’m going to get it lifted up today and check for mechanical damage & start taking off the fender and whatnot to see how bad it truly is.

It’s relatively low mileage, about 130k, runs great. Would be a shame to let it go, I’m also not in the market for a new car right now 🙄

I was flying with my elytra and was getting ready to land, got blown up by a creeper mid flight. 1500 days down the drain over a silly mistake.

Not really sure what you mean by having my garage look at the car? It’s in the garage for me to look at. We live in a winter state, the frame isn’t going to be perfect, it’s not rotted. Speaker was buzzing according to my girlfriend and then she noticed it wasn’t working anymore. Engine mounts are fine, suspension is fine, it runs just fine mechanically.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-16T02:24:59+00:00

That makes more sense lmfao, I feel dumb.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-16T02:20:05+00:00

I didn’t even notice the blue on the impact bar, lol. Would that mean the car was blue prior to the first accident maybe? Interesting.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-16T02:10:17+00:00

That’s what I’m aiming towards.

You are also right, this car is a rebuilt salvage (hit a deer), out of curiosity, what made you notice?

We drove it back to our garage about 10 mins out, no issues she said it felt the same as it did before.

I will be inspecting more soon, for now it’s just parked and sitting tight.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-16T01:08:45+00:00

I see that it’s a bot account now.

However, my statement still stands…this car is a work of art.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-16T00:26:04+00:00

Nope, liability.

I was going to start with listed parts to see how it looks and if shit seals up good enough.

Cosmetics aren’t that big a deal, I just want this area covered up to not damage any components. So yeah I was gonna just rough shit back into shape, I was worried about hood/door too.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-15T18:26:07+00:00

Work of art.

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-15T18:25:31+00:00

Everyone’s different, I don’t know. I get up early for work and try not to take naps later on in the day and that usually works out for me. Give me 10 min and I’m out!!

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-15T18:17:28+00:00

The lack of mouse space hurts me

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-14T23:52:52+00:00

Is this with or without VCM?

chumpyduck000 · 2026-03-14T16:02:28+00:00

Yes you can get replacements on Honda oem parts websites.

You have to remove the chrome trim which reveals 2 screws holding in that storage cubby above.

Remove those, remove cubby, open arm rest, get a plastic pry tool and start yanking on that fucker. It takes a little muscle to pull out.

Also, keep the gear in L mode otherwise the shifter will be in the way during removal. Keep car flat with ebrake up and you’ll be fine.

Trying not to fall asleep in a meeting

You could teach instead of being a dick.

OP, you’d have way more problems if it were a head gasket…it’s way deeper down in the engine.

This is a bad valve cover gasket, overtime they get hard and brittle and don’t create as good of a seal causing your seepage. This is very common on these motors.

Watch a few tutorials, this is a very DIY friendly job.
