High consumption of oil. this problem is additional to the cold start problem noise. i received a letter about this extending the warrantee to 125,000 miles. i am going tomorrow to get my car serviced. i am going to report this to them and see what they say.
My motor begins to grind when i turn over the motor for about two seconds..and my motor is burning oil i have to add 2-3 quarts every oil change
I am having an oil consumption problem at least 3 quarts in between oil changes this has been getting worse and started almost immediately after purchase. this past february it started missing and i had a loss of power while on the highway on the way to work. i took it in and the honda dealership replaced four fouled spark plugs and said if it happened again they would replace the rings in the engine, in total i will have taken the car to the honda dealership 6 times for this problem and i am getting very tired of taking it in so they can tell me that they fixed the problem. with the loss of power i could have been in a serious accident and i am concerned about the engine failing every time i drive the car. i would consider this car unsafe because it could fail at anytime and leave me stranded or worse it could fail when i am pulling into traffic or merging onto a highway.
My accord oil light illuminated on and off when there was 40% oil remaining, and therefore, i took my vehicle into fletcher jones honda, which is where i regularly go for routine maintenance service. then i received horrific news concerning the life of my vehicle, which is in need of a brand new 3.5-liter vtec v6 engine, which will costs $12,372.87. this was especially alarming news because, my vehicle is only six years old and i've only have honda to service it. also, it was recommended that the following maintenance is performed: timing belt replacement $565.39; clutch assembly $2,019.86; spark plugs replacement $209.52 and syn power (efi service/fuel injection cleaning service $159.95,which brings my out of pocket costs to $15,327.59.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 123,000.
I received a letter from honda stating that my car may have a defect in the pistons, and/or piston rings that causes excessive oil usage. as a result of this honda would diagnose and repair the problem but only up to 125,000 miles. at the time i received the letter my car had 150,000 miles. i have noticed excessive oil usage in my 2010 honda accord when compared to my 2004 honda accord with the same 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. the 2010 requires oil frequently but the 2004 rarely requires oil between oil changes. i called honda of america on 2 separate occasions and spoke to 3 different people after i asked for my case to be escalated to a higher level. they have refused to do anything for me. my opinion is that no manufacturer should be able to shirk their duty to repair or replace a known defect. especially when i have evidence that shows their arbitrary choice of extending the engine warranty to 125,000 miles is nonsense. my 2004 accord has more miles than the 2010 but doesn't require oil between oil changes. that tells me that the 2010 with fewer miles may suffer from this known defect that honda has a responsibility to repair regardless of the miles on the car.
When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. there is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again but honda refuses a recall although there have been numerous complaints about this issue.
Car consumes oil between oil changes. it will take 2-3 quarts of motor oil between servicing. found no oil leak. oil levels can drop really low and oil light indicator does not turn on. vehicle has a grinding noise for a few seconds on a cold start. vehicle computer was updated/programmed previously by honda to eliminate excess oil consumption. vehicle still has excessive oil consumption issue, as well as the low oil indicator failing to illuminate. oil light indicator can cause excessive damage to the engine if the oil level is low, because it fails to warn the driver when the oil level is low, especially since this vehicle has an excessive oil consumption issue. there have been numerous complaints about this issue and honda has failed to recall vehicles for this issue.
Excessive oil consumption, causing plugs to foul and damaging coil packs. this has happened twice in the last 12 months.
Consumes a quart every 150 miles hah to replace spark plugs twice
When driving on the freeway on my way to work the check engine light came on. after exiting i checked for error codes (as i always carry the p-code reader with me). the code stated that cylinder 3 was misfiring. i double checked all spark plugs to make sure the connections were okay. the engine light continued to come on, with a rough idle, and engine codes started to be more spontaneous as it stated random misfires/multiple cylinder misfires. i took my car to honda and was told that i likely need to replace the ignition coil, so i did that and still experienced the same problem. i then took it to a shop where they also suspected bad ignition coils. they then did a valve adjustment and was positive that would fix the problem. after performing that job, the car continued with the same rough idle but only populated the error code stating cylinder 3 is misfiring. they took out the spark plug and ignition coil on cylinder 3 and discovered a cracked intake valve. i've spoken to at least 10 shops, 2 honda service dealerships, and 2 personal mechanic friends that all state that a broken intake valve at 107k is very unusual and likely a result of poor design. i have read about the class action lawsuit for all v6 honda accords between 2008-2012. unfortunately the 2010 v6 6 mt is one of the few models left out of that law suit. i have already had a shop start on the repairs as i have no choice but to have them done asap. i figure an unlikely event like this is due to poor engine design since i have thoroughly kept up with all scheduled maintenance (spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, oil change, etc..). i feel that honda should be responsible for this 2000$ dollar repair.
The past two times i have brought the car in for an oil change i have been told that the oil level is below the dipstick. both times i have brought the car in for an oil change with 20% oil life showing. shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes gets "blocked". that is the only way i can describe it, you go to shift and cant get into gear, either have to go back to 2nd or back to neutral and then back in. the "double pump shift" usually works. i have also had a problem with the speaker deck rattling which i had supposedly fixed under warranty but only to have the same problem.
Received notice from honda stating engine warranty extended to 120k miles due to oil consumption, attempted to have vehicle service for oil consumption tests at local dealer (mistlin honda, modesto ca.) was denied by service writer due to not having a check engine light on, i asked why would an engine light go on if i keep topping off oil between oil changes (1-2 quarts) he stated unfortunately he couldn't service it with out a light being on. to my understanding i don't see how a check engine light will be activated if engine is burning oil, unless the engine has gotten damaged due to not having any oil.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. while driving 60 mph, the engine warning light illuminated. immediately after an oil change, the oil pressure warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 86,000.
I bought my car new in 2010 honda accord 4 cylinder. i had been taking my car to get the oil changed on a regular basis to the honda dealership. since beginning of this year, my car started making noise so it took it to dealer to check the reason. he told that me that my car is out of oil even though indicator say oil level is 70% and that is the reason for it's making sound. he told me that he could not detect the issue and bring it one more time. he temporarily fixed the issue by filling the oil. it again happened after a month and he again filled in oil but he charged me this time for filling the oil. he said that we will need to do "oil consumption" test as he doesn't see any leakage either. this is really scary to me when i see that there is already class suit against honda for the same reason but that's applicable for 6 cylinders engine and not for 4 cylinders. when i asked the dealer about it, he simply denied any lawsuit or class action or recall for accord 2010. it's defect in a car but neither honda accept it or dealer agrees to it. however, i'm spending my money and time to fill in the oil every month after only 1000 miles. it's ridiculous and frustrating as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. while driving various speeds, the vehicle slid to the right while slowing down. the rear of the vehicle made an abnormal popping noise when the speed decreased. the failure occurred several times. the dealer diagnosed that the ipm motor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was 59,000.

Cold start rattle due to vtc actuator failure.
Accelerating from a stop sign and check engine light came on, vehicle began to idle rough and shudder. limped to an auto parts store and diagnosis was cylinder #2 misfire. i was returning home from vacation and contacted dealership service dept where car was purchased from. was informed that honda issued a tsb for fouled plugs. drove 290 miles home as all dealerships were closed. *js

When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. there is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again. grinding noises in an engine are bad, and could lead to catastrophic engine failure should the abrasive metallic parts (due to grinding when there is no oil in the actuator) becoming lodged. this engine failure could happen at any time, possibly in a highway lane. while my car engine has not yet seized, there are online reports of this happening. currently, honda will only fix this issue under warranty. they also give the car owner a really hard time proving the issue, requiring the car be left at a dealership overnight to replicate the problem. a loaner vehicle is at your expense. if the car is not under warranty, this expensive repair bill is at your expense. if your car is under warranty and they are not able to replicate the noise, both the loaner car and diagnostic fee are at your expense. this greatly reduces the number of people willing and able to have this important safety issue fixed. running engine components without oil should be a recall. it is clearly a safety issue that can cause other problems with your engine. if the engine stalls unexpectedly, it could lead to death. *tr
Excessive oil consumption. i am putting 1-2 quarts oil every 3000 miles, even though the oil life indicates 80% or better. i bought this car new and just noticed this about 9 months ago. the oil is not leaking, it is just gone. also when i start the car first thing in the morning or when is cold, the top of the engine makes a rattling noise. there is also a loud pronounced noise that sounds like it is either the engine or the transmission, something doesn't sound right. i am taking it to the dealer to have it checked out. *tr
Driving approximately-15 mph on a local round-about and the engine appeared to stop running. i coasted to an intersection and stopped along the road. engine turned over initially then only buzzing sound. shifter locked in park after stopping. door locks and windows were functional as well as the fan motor. limited lights on the panel, tire pressure system, and red passenger seat icons were lighted. i would consider this a dangerous occurrence. fortunately i was not in a bad location for stopping. *tr
Purchased vehicle 5/8/2014. driving home and i called my husband and stated that the car sounded like crap--wasn't shifting correctly and just had a horrible sound coming from engine. he stated we will check oil and transmission fluid when you get home. to find no oil or transmission on either. we immediately contacted dealer we purchased from and we had it towed there for attention. car dealer changed oil(which wasn't much) and transmission fluid were "fine". passing the buck! we continued to keep an eye on it to find we are putting quarts of oil in it. it has had 3 oil changes in less than 6 months and not due to mileage---due to each place we took it to-dealer-changed oil, jiffy lube-changed oil-honda-changed oil and started "oil consumption" test. i have checked oil in my cars, since i was 16 years old. honda stating "it's normal"--it's not normal to have to keep adding oil to your car between one oil change to another, due to mileage only. you can visually see oil everywhere on the engine block and laying on other components of the engine. fix the car!!!!!! *tr

Engine light does not go off i lose oil
I took my car into the dealership, honda cars of columbia, for the air bag recall which was repaired. i informed them of excessive oil consumption and of error codes that appeared. they informed me that there was nothing they could do without engine light on. i called honda cars of america and after getting the run around, they told me that my vehicle was not covered under their campaign for excessive oil consumption and under engine misfire if the light came on again to take car to dealership and they would replace spark plugs 1-4 and update software. i have a v6. the car uses 2-4 qts between oil changes. all i'm asking for is to replace all spark plugs and update software. your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Oil light started coming on at that point. my car wasnt due for an oil change. was hearing the pistons in the engine when i would start driving the car. i checked oil and it showed no oil. i would have to put in 2 to 3 quarts of oil. this has been happening and is still occuring to this day 2015. i have mentioned this to dealer and they claimed nothing is wrong. i just received a warranty extension from honda and i am just about close to the 125,00 mileage that they extended the warranty to. it is a shame that they are contacting me about this years later.
There is a recall for 2010 honda accords re engine stalling while driving. before i found out about the recall, i experienced my vehicle stalling twice on two seperate occasions and i immediately took it to honda dealership, and they said they could not duplicate the problem so there was nothing they could do. now that i am aware of the recall, i called honda and they said my vin doesnt apply. which puzzles me when i experienced the same issues. *js
