NHTSA Investigations

Defect investigations by NHTSA that cover this model year, with what they found.

Side air bags deploying by mistake in 2008-2009 Accords
Led to a recall
NHTSA's engineering analysis covered 2008-2009 Accord sedans whose side air bags could deploy by mistake. It counted 351 reports. A deploying side curtain air bag can seriously injure anyone in its path. Honda recalled about 303,900 cars under recall 15V-665, almost all of them 2008 models. NHTSA closed the case in January 2016.
NHTSA EA14004 Opening report (PDF)Closing report (PDF)Jul 29, 2014 to Jan 4, 2016
Air bag control module failure disabling air bags
Led to a recall
NHTSA's preliminary evaluation looked at the air bag control module in 2008-2010 Accords. Moisture could corrode a chip inside it and disable all air bags and seat belt tighteners. Honda recalled 341,444 cars under recall 16V-056. It also gave another 382,693 Accords a 15-year unlimited-mileage extended warranty. NHTSA closed the case in June 2016.

NHTSA Crash Test Ratings

NHTSA gave the 2009 Accord no overall, frontal or side rating. It did rate each seat in those tests and lists the seat ratings under Rating Breakdown on its page. We show them the same way below. These tests are from before 2011, so the stars are not comparable with ratings for 2011 and newer models. See the 2009 Accord ratings on NHTSA.gov.

Check Before You Buy

A checklist for the 2009 Accord, from its recalls, Honda's programs and the problems owners report most.

Confirm the Recalls Were Done

Ask the seller for proof that each of these recalls was repaired.

Air bags: inflator module NHTSA 19V378000
Air bags: inflator module NHTSA 19V182000
Air bags: inflator module NHTSA 18V268000
Air bags: inflator module NHTSA 18V042000
Look up the VIN at NHTSA to see all 10 recalls and which are still open.

Ask a Honda Dealer

Ask whether each of these warranty extensions applies to this VIN, and whether the work was done.

13-078: engine misfire from fouled spark plugs (piston rings)
16-007: airbag control unit (airbag warning light)
12-087: high oil consumption from sticking piston rings

On the Test Drive

Brake firmly from a moderate speed. A soft, hard or pulsing pedal, or a brake warning light, is a warning sign.
Ask how often oil is added between changes, and watch for blue smoke at startup.
Turn the wheel fully left and right, parked and at low speed. Sticking, notches or stiffness are warning signs.

Ask the Seller

Ask whether any of these were ever repaired, and ask to see the receipts.

Brakes
High oil consumption
Airbag warning lights
Also ask for the service records, especially oil changes.

Before You Pay

Get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic you choose.
Decode the VIN to confirm the model year, engine and trim.
Check the title for salvage, flood or rebuilt branding.
