My Accord (i-dtec) is just about 40 months old and has done 38,000 miles. I was surprised to note that the clutch seemed to be slipping last week Have booked the car in at the dealers and they have indicated that if it is 'just worn' (as they seem to think having taken it for a test drive) then it is one of those things. I have never had a clutch wear out in over 40 years of driving. Are 8th gen Accords prone to this? My previous 7th gen did 45,000 + with no such issues. The car has been dealer-serviced since new.
