Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Accord

The 2011 Honda Accord EX-L is a moderately easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. Checking the transmission fluid level is no problem, as the fluid dipstick is reliably accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. Replacing the center brake light is easy to do, as you only have to reach through the trunk for access to the bulb. The brake fluid reservoir is easy to check and replenish on this vehicle. This allows you to keep an eye on the fluid level on a regular basis.

Some things are tougher to repair on the 2011 Honda Accord EX-L. To access some of the headlights, you will have to reach through the wheel well lining. This can be tough, as the lining can grow rigid and tight to the vehicle over time. Checking the engine coolant fluid level can be tough, as the maximum and minimum level markers are not located in an easily visible spot in the engine bay. While the tail lights aren’t too difficult to access, you will have to peel back a few fasteners and a lining first. These can grow tight to the vehicle over time.
