MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I RECENTLY NOTICED THIS AND HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON RANDOM DEFECTS WITH HONDA ACCORDS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT ONE DAY CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GAS BUMP BUT THEY WERE WRONG. THE PROCEDURE TO FIX THIS MAY COST ME A LOT OF MONEY BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE. IT EFFECTS MY SAFETY AND I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK THAT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 ABOUT A YEAR BACK. I REALLY LOVE THE CARE. I AM RELIGIOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND RUN SYNTHETICS TO INSURE THE BEST ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND LIFE. MY PREVIOUS OWNER CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS ALSO ALWAYS DOING THE SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. WHAT I NOTICED AFTER ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF BUYING MY CAR WAS THAT A FUNNY RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM MY CAR. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY SAW THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIKE COME ON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY GO OFF MOSTLY AT STOPS. MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE SOON, SO I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF THAT. YES, SURE AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THAT RATTLING AND GRINDING SOUND WAS GONE. SO I FELT RELAXED NOT FOR LONG THOUGH AS AFTER ABOUT 45 DAYS GAIN THE RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE STARTED COMING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE OIL SIGN ON AND OFF. I DID A FEW CHECKS AND WHEN I PULLED THE DIP STICK AFTER KEEPING THE CAR STATIONARY OVERNIGHT, I WAS SURPRISED THAT I HAD NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. I HAVE NOW ADDED SOME OIL TO BRING IT TO THE LEVEL BUT I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED. THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM STILL PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS OR SO, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. I FIGURE RELIABLE AND TROUBLE FREE WITH EXCELLENT LONG LASTING ENGINES. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND HONDA ACCORD OIL DEFECT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT I NEVER GOT THE LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION. I AM PLANNING TO START WORKING ON IT AND GET IT RESOLVED. MY BIGGEST BATTLE WILL BE THAT THE LAWSUIT COVERS THE V6 VEHICLES BUT I HAVE V4. TRULY DISAPPOINTING, I JUST HOPE I GET SATISFACTION. BTW I AM ALSO THE OWNER OF HONDA PILOT 2008, AND NO COMPLAINTS SO FAR AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THAT CAR. I HOPE THIS THING GETS RESOLVED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2012. FROM 2013-PRESENT, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD MY CALIPERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES THAT MANY TIMES. IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ROTORS 3 TIMES. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHEN I LAST DID IT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THIS PROBLEM, HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE! ALSO IN JULY 2015, MY AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING, WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUSE, SO WE REPLACED IT BUT ITS STILL NOT WORKING. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET WITH THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY CAR THAT I'VE OWNED.

VEHICLE SUDDENDLY LOST ALL POWER. THIS EXACT SAME POWER LOSS HAS OCCURRED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES SINCE I OWN THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A GILLMAN HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON, TEXAS IN LATE DECEMBER 2009. THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED WAS A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GILLMAN DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH A SERVICE MANGER. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT A NOISE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH PROBLEM SIMILAR TO WHAT I DESCRIBED REPORTED, I LEFT AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE SAME POWER LOST HAS OCCURRED TO ME 3 TO 4 MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2014 WHILE I WAS AT A CHEVRON GAS STATION. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER FINISHING PUMPING GASOLINE TO THE GAS TANK AND FINISHED WITH THE PAYMENT. I HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO PUSH THE CAR AWAY FROM PUMP STATION AND TRIED TO GET HELP FROM PEOPLE WHO CAME TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THEIR VEHICLES WITH GASOLINE. MY WIFE EVENTUALLY CAME TO THE GAS STATION WITH A JUMP CABLE AND I WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE THEN. AFTERWARDS, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN O'REILLY AUTO PART STORE AND PROCEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY. HOWEVER, BEFORE I LET THE STORE CLERK REPLACE MY CAR'S BATTERY, I ASKED HIM TO RUN A TEST ON THE CAR'S BATTERY, AND THE RESULT INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS REMINDED ME OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATION WHEN I LOST COMPLETE POWER TO THE VEHICLE, AND HAD TO JUMP START IT ABOUT 6 - 8 MONTHS EARLIER. I ALSO DROVE MYSELF TO ANOTHER O'REILLY AUTO PART STORE AND THE SAME SCENARIO PLAYED OUT. THESE EXPERIENCES TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING IS NOT NORMAL. SOME FORM OF SHORT-CIRCUITRY MUST HAPPEN THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE ITS POWER.
