MY CAR BURNS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750-1000 MILES. IT IS A 4 CYLINDER, AND THERE IS ONLY A RECALL ON THE 6 CYLINDER CARS. HONDAS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS! I HAVE A 2002 CIVIC, AND IT'S ENGINE IS BETTER THAN MY ACCORD. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS? I'VE READ A LOT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

OUR 2008 HONDA ACCORD SRS INDICATOR IS ON WHICH ALERTS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG OR SEAT BELT TENSIONERS PER OWNER'S MANUAL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER. IT TOOK THEM HOURS AND CHARGED US $157 BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

THE HONDA ACCORD 2008 MODEL STARTED TO CLUNK HEAVILY IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN THE WEATHER WAS HOT, ANYTHING ABOVE 85 DEGREES. WHEN THE FRONT END WAS LIFTED OR WEATHER COOLED, THE SOUND WENT AWAY. STEERING BECAME SLOPPY AND FELT UNSAFE. THIS SUMMER WHEN WEATHER WAS VERY HOT, THE CLUNK BECAME VERY LOUD AND METAL SCRAPING ON METAL WAS APPARENT, ESPECIALLY ON START, STOP AND ANY BUMPS. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED SEP. 17, 2013, BULLETIN 12-082 THAT DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM AND ATTRIBUTES IT TO BALL JOINTS THAT BECOME UNLUBRICATED IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. OF COURSE METAL ON METAL CONTACT WITHOUT LUBRICATION IN THE BALL JOINT QUICKLY DESTROYS THE BALL JOINT, AFFECTS STEERING ADVERSELY, FATIGUES THE METAL AND COULD LEAD TO BREAKAGE. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE HONDA NORTH AMERICA PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IS DEFECTIVE IN THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN 12-082, BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THE COMPLETE REPAIR. I HAD NEW BALL JOINTS PUT ON AND IT STEERS WELL AND CLUNKING IS GONE. WAS NOT WILLING TO LET IT GO ON LONGER AND RISK BREAKAGE AT DETRIMENT TO MYSELF AND FAMILY. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE AND POSES A SAFETY RISK.

TOOK CAR TO THE BODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE WAS BADLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT.. I COULD SEE IT WITH MY NAKED EYES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REAR TIRES CAN NOT BE ALIGNED. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER ON THE BACK TIRES, SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE VIBRATION AND ALWAY UNEVENLY WHERE YOUR TIRES. ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO FIX THIS, IS TO INSTALL ADJUSTABLE CAMBERS, BUT IF THIS IS A DESIG FLAW AND HONDA ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED IT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THERE HONDA CIVICS, THEN WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX.

IN ADDITION, THE STRUTS CAUSED ONE OF THE TIRES TO POP DUE TO A BUMP ON THE TIRE, AND THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE BUMP ON THE TIRE WHICH AGAIN IS DUE TO THE STRUTS BEING BAD.
