Consumer Description

WHEN I START MY CAR (USUALLY WHEN IT IS OFF FOR 4~6 HOURS) IT WILL MAKE A SCREECH NOISE. BUT IF IT HAS BEEN OFF FOR LESS THAN THAT, THEN THE CAR DOES NOT MAKE THE NOISE. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TODAY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR. THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR AN $800 CHARGE TO FIX THIS. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. AS OF RIGHT NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FROM HONDA FOR THIS. I HAVE DONE A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 2008 HONDA ACCORD VTC ACTUATOR RECALL AND HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS I DO. *TR
