IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS TWICE! I HAVE HAD TO TOP OFF MY OIL WITHOUT HAVING OIL LEAKAGE. I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE, AND NOW NEED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE OIL AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.. IT MUST BE GETTING PAST PISTONS SOMEHOW. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED!
Engine, Aug 24, 2019
I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A ROUGH SPUTTERING SOUND AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPENED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDRESSED IT FOR FREE. THE SECOND TIME I PAID A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE PISTON(S) REPLACED AND HAVE IT CLEANED OUT. ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AT THE DEALER SAID THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THAT WAS 3-4 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IN THE APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED 2 ALTERNATORS AND AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS CAR PREMATURELY BURNS OFF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. IT IS POOR OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS TRYING TO TOP OFF THE OIL REGULARLY IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED THIS. PLEASE HAVE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL

IN JULY OF 2017 MY CAR STARTED SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A INSTABILITY IN THE ENGINE. TURNS OUT THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND HAD A PROCEDURE TO DEAL WITH IT WITHOUT FIXING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE. IT SEEMS THAT THEY MADE THE PISTONS INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY AND THEY COULD LEAK OIL INTO THE SPARK PLUGS CAUSING MISFIRING IN THE CYLINDERS. I WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS, CLEAN UP THE OIL AND TOP IT OFF. THEN THEY WOULD DO OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS FOR A FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. AND IT WAS GONE FOR A WHILE. JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, I WOULD BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG TO PAY THE $2700 FOR THE REPAIR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN I FIRST WENT IN 2017. I CALLED HONDA TO REVIEW MY CASE AND THEY DENIED ME TWICE STATING THE AGE OF THE CAR NEGATED ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THEM. MY HONDA CASE NUMBER IS 09490208.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, THE CAR IS BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE ACCORD OIL CHANGE GUIDE PER THE OWNERS MANUAL IS AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 7000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK WHICH IS A DANGER OF FULL ENGINE FAILURE ON THE ROAD. HONDA TESTED THE VEHICLE AND HAS EVIDENCE OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGREEING TO EXTEND THE ENGINE WARRANTY AND PERFORM REPAIRS. THE DEALER STATED THAT V6 ENGINES ARE NOT COVERED IN THE THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED BY HONDA. I CLEARLY SEE V6 AS BEING IMPACTED AND LISTED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE DEALER INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT CORPORATE WHICH IS MY NEXT STEP.

SINCE DECEMBER, 2016 THE ENGINE HAS BEEN USING EXCESSIVE OIL. I HAVE REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES EVERY 5,000 MILES (SYNTHETIC). ON 7/13/17 THE OIL WAS CHANGED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS VERY LOW. IT WAS CHANGED AGAIN ON 12/21/17 WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST CHANGE. AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY GETTING WORSE.

MY VEHICLE ENGINE RPM'S RAISES AS MUCH AS 500 TO 700 MORE THAN IDLE, WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS OF 10 MPH OR STOPPED. HAD IT CHECKED BY SUNNY KING HONDA IN OXFORD ALABAMA, THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE PCM WHICH IS UNDER RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR ONES MADE PRIOR TO SEPT 2010. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN DECEMBER 2010. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPEED UP WHEN MOVING AT SLOW OR STOPPED SPEED. JUST WONDERING IF THIS HAD BEEN REPORTED BY ANYONE ELSE. ALSO VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN YOU CRANK IT UP. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I GOT THE CAR BACK IN AUGUST 2017

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHINGLE SPRINGS HONDA (4070 MOTHER LODE DR, SHINGLE SPRINGS, CA 95682, (530) 677-5700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS DUE FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THE ROUTINE OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS GONE. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM HONDA FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER EVERY 1,000 MILES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A HALF QUART OF OIL WAS BEING USED. THE OIL WAS REFILLED. AT THE END OF THE TESTING PERIOD, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER WHERE A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD EX IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY. I AM REQUIRED TO ADD ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES UP TO 5 TIMES. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ADD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL STATES THAT 2010 HONDA ACCORD'S QUALIFY, BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS.

CAR ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE OFF, THEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING, IT SOMETIMES STARTS TO JERKING. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR IT DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. I SOMETIMES PULL OVER TO TURN THE CAR OFF TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO BETTER IF I RESTART IT, BUT THEN IT STARTS ACTING LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK BACK UP.
