The 10th Gen Accord Maintenance Minder is a joke.
I only have 2,185 miles on my Accord 2.0T Touring. Today the Maintenance Minder came on to say "Maintenance Due Soon". I drilled down and it said I need Schedule A service and that my oil life is at 15% ... WHAT! I haven't even gone anywhere. There's no way I need service already with only 2,185 miles on the odometer!!!
I'm beginning to think that Honda is using the BMW trick of sending a reminder based on dates versus mileage or wear. I believe this is what is going on because my Accord is close to a year old, built in March 2018 and purchased that same month. So, one year later ... up pops the Maintenance Minder, regardless of mileage.
If what I suspect is happening, then I cannot and will not depend of the Maintenance Minder to be an honest broker of my service needs.
