I own a 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 3.5L that I purchased brand new from the dealership with zero miles. I’ve taken excellent care of the vehicle, and because I typically drive short distances, it only has 93,000 miles as of June 2025. Despite the low mileage and proper maintenance, the intake manifold plenum (part #17160-5G0-A00) now needs to be replaced due to significant deterioration.
