WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER. IVE ALWAYS BEEN A ADVOCATE FOR HONDA VEHICLES BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE TO FIX THIS AND THE PISTONS LEADING TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH EARLY REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS IN 2010 HONDA ACCORD V6. ALL SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED AROUND 65K MILES DUE TO AN "COMPUTER ISSUE" ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED AT THE TIME THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO COVER THE COMPUTER ISSUE NOT AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THE OIL IS NOW CHANGED EVERY 3K MILES (WHICH DIFFERS FROM RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HONDA TO CHANGE THE OIL ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE MINDER VARYING BETWEEN 4K AND 5K MILES) AND HAVING TO ADD .5 TO A FULL QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL STAINS WHERE I PARK ON A REGULAR BASIS, LEADING TO BELIEVE IT IS NOT LEAKING BUT BURNING OR BEING CONSUMED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND USUALLY PULLS THE CODE THAT A CYLINDER IS MISFIRING. THE OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON EVEN WHEN THE OIL BARLEY READS ON THE DIP STICK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER 2 YEARS.

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON. UPON CHECKING MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS HARDLY ANY OIL LEFT. LOW OIL LIGHT DIDN'T LIGHT UP AS IT SHOULD. THIS WAS VERY STRANGE AS I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE REAL WELL WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES ETC. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS HONDA CARS CONSUMING OIL IS TOP ISSUE REPORTED BY CONSUMERS, CHECK THIS FORUM... HTTP://WWW.HONDAPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION/ THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND HONDA AGREED TO FIX ISSUE VIA SOFTWARE UPGRADE, PLEASE REFER TO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #11-033) IN JULY OF 2011 THAT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, ONLY CERTAIN V6 MODELS WERE COVERED AND V4 ETC. WERE NOT COVERED APART FROM OTHER MODELS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, I BEING AN ENGINEER, THAT THIS IS SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO EXPAND IT INVESTIGATION TO AND RECALL/FIX IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WE ARE BLESSED THAT OUR VEHICLE DIDN'T STALL ON FREEWAY, EVEN THOUGH IT STALLED ON SURFACE STREET DURING COMMUTE HOURS AND WE WERE LUCKY TO BE NOT HIT.

I KNOW THEY HAVE SETTLED A CLASS-ACTION SUIT FOR THE V6 MODEL, BUT CHOSE NOT TO INCLUDE THE V4 MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN OCTOBER 2009. IT IS A 2010 MODEL. IT HAS BURNED OIL EXCESSIVELY SINCE THE VERY FIRST TIME I DROVE IT. IT HAS CONTINUED TO BURN OIL AND MISFIRE UNDER ACCELERATION. CURRENTLY IT BURNS ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES.

IN FEBRUARY 2016 - OUR 2010 ACCORD HAD REPAIR PROCEDURE A COMPLETED TO UPDATE PCM SOFTWARE REFERRING TO TSB 13-078 AND REPLACED SPARK 1-4. STARTING IN MARCH OF 2016 OUR ACCORD STARTED TO EXCESSIVELY CONSUME OIL WHICH WE NOW KNOW AS (TSB #11-033).IN DECEMBER AND MARCH WE REPLACED A BAD PRESSURE SWITCH. IN JULY WE REPLACED BOTH PRESSURE SWITCHES AGAIN. HONDA ADMITS THAT THE CAR IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMING OIL BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE IS NOT PROVIDING THE CORRECT CODES.
