Default am radio reception


I have a 2008 Accord sedan with Navi and my am radio reception is so bad you cant even listen to it.. Honda dealership service centertold me since the world trade center when down there are no antennas, this is a little hard for me to believe because I live in the nyc area and my 2004 accord receives am just fine..
Does anybody else having trouble with there am radio on the 2008's

Thank You

Lawl. That's like saying you can't have radar in airplanes because the WTC went down...

Aircraft radar transmits & receives. Doesn't need a transmitter somewhere on the ground.

I'm sure there were a lot of transmitting antennas on top of the WTC. When they're destroyed, the remaining AM signal (from other sources)would be weaker. But still, why would it be OK in your 2004 Accord? And come on... this happened in 2001?? When they configured the radio in your 2008 Accord,it shouldn't have beena big surprise that the WTC was gone.

I wonder if the problem is unique to your '08 Accord. I purchased a '06 EXL earlier this year and have only driven it 3,000 miles in 6 months; i.e. sporadically. I used the AM radio the other day for the first time and noticed that the reception was very weak; worse than any car I can remember.

Have you persued this beyond the initial conversation with the dealer. Just curious what route you're taken and any success towards resolution. BTW, my car doesn't have the Nav system.
