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!
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the following day, the vehicle was towed to autonation honda thornton road (located at 1979 thornton rd, lithia spring, ga 30122, (770) 674-6078) where it was diagnosed that the spark plug was misfiring and needed to be replaced. also, a computer reset was needed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 09633930. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Takata recall..i've had a problem with the engine light flashing and vsa light. the first time it happened i was on busy i95 with my infant in the car needless to say i was afraid and i call honda immediately and took it to honda in de they said nothing was wrong, the second time it also happened on the road i returned to honda and they suggested that it was low on oil which was strange because i only get oil changes from honda, the third time it happened while driving on the highway i returned the car back to honda and they suggested that it was the engine and it was leaking oil and the cost would be $3500. this has happened to a few honda owners and i feel it should be recalled because this is a obvious problem with the oil leaking and engine and before there is a serious injury because of this problem it should be recalled immediately
Had to replace three ignition coils within about eight months. then, one of the ones had been replaced (#1 cylinder), developed a problem. mech tech informed/showed me that plug had fouled - due to possible piston ring problem. learned from cars.com that there was a problem with piston rings of 2008 - 2012 accords and honda had offered a special extended warranty to correct them. i was never notified by honda of this corrective action, ergo i missed the eight years and unlimited mileage from the original vehicle-in-service date deadline (car was purchased in june 2010). to replace the engine would cost more than the car is worth. national highway traffic safety administration at 888-327-4236. reference tsb no. 13-078. do i have any recourse at all? is there anything that i can do?
The car burns a lot of engine oil. there are no leaks, no issues but its burning so quickly that i have to put 1 liter of oil every 2000-3000 miles. the mechanics say its a factory issue as almost every car of 8th generation do that.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. the contact stated that the service engine indicator illuminated twice in the last year. the contact had the spark plugs replaced twice, but the engine still consumed a large amount of oil. the dealer (tom kadlec honda, 3333 wilder rd nw, rochester, mn 55901, (507) 281-2500) was contacted and stated that they would investigate the results of a month long oil consumption test based on 1,000 miles. the dealer was in the process of analyzing the results. the manufacturer had not been contacted. the failure mileage was 112,857.
Excessive oil burning - vehicle has less than 100k miles is burning oil. no dipstick reading for oil in engine (for every 3,000 miles driven). car pings and no or little power from engine due to oil loss. dealer test stated 1/2qt of oil used every 1,000 miles. typical honda oil change is every, 7,500 miles (per their manual) - if waited that long no oil would be in engine. dangerous and significant issue - honda stated it will not fix and stated 1/2 qt of oil burned every 1,000 miles is not excessive or significant !! - from a car owner, it is very significant. compound this with the months and months wait for the takata recall for air bags issue - the honda 2010 crv has significant issues. i have a co-worker that has a 2010 acura with 300,000 miles and oil loss issues.
October 2017-check engine light was flashing while in motion on a highway. vehicle was shaking and hard to drive, pulled over to safe area. unable to move vehicle once ignition was turned off and on. towed to nearest dealer. recall was preformed; computer update and spark plugs were replaced. may 2010-check engine light came on once ignition turned on. vehicle was taken for diagnostics and air bag recall. while driving vehicle kicked while on the freeway. honda states oil was 3 quarts too low. oil indicator was at 30% and never warranted low oil. oil was added and i was instructed to come back once i have driven 1000 miles to see if engine is burning or consuming too much oil. if so, service stated an engine replacement may be needed and could be costly.
Our engine suffered a massive engine failure due to high oil consumption issue. the car lost all of its oil and there was absolutely no indication of such situation. i opened a case with honda care, but as expected, they denied any responsibility even though these vehicles are impacted with such issue and the fact that i received a service bulletin. i will never buy another honda.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. the contact stated that every week, one quart of oil needed to be added to the vehicle. the contact mentioned that the vehicle consumed an abnormal amount of oil. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 38,000.
On a road trip to mass, check engine light blinks and car runs poorly. stop at the nearest honda, garber honda in rochester, ny. first made aware of recall. garber says repair is made and is covered under recall program. i was advised to return if problem comes back and told i had unlimited miles to do so. car continues to consume oil. i was unaware that the consumption was part of the extended warranty campaign regarding the number 2 cylinder. 26 october - 9 november 2018 check engine light starts to blink and car runs poorly. on the road i take it to the nearest honda, lia honda of williamsville, ny. number 2 plug fouled again. i was told the warranty campaign had ended and i had to bring in all the maintenance records to qualify for a 'good will' repair. i fax and called northtown but records from previous years not available due to dealership buyout. i paid to have spark plug replaced. i spent 3 weeks exchanging emails with adrian bonsey at lia to resolve the issue. in my final follow up he mentions he had cleared the exchange of emails from his system. i go online and research the issue discovering the warranty campaign letter, a letter i had never been given before.i am unable to get my emissions done for the state of ny due to a nearly always on check engine light. i consume 2 - 3 quarts of oil between oil changes and foul out a plug every few months. i think honda owes me a repair since the previous repair did not resolve the known issue.
Excessive oil consumption at 111, 000 miles. dipstick reads empty after 4 months and 7,000 miles.
Two issues i am having that tons of people online have complained about. one issue is the variable timing solenoid. at startup the vehicle makes a loud rattling noise for about 5 seconds. the other issue is the exterior weather strip is allowing water to leak into my car.
Excessive oil consumption, burning oil, while in motion.
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.
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. while operating the vehicle, the check engine sensor indicator suddenly illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that no oil was present inside the engine although the oil gauge display indicated that the oil inside the engine was at 30 percent. the mechanic added oil to the engine and the failure was remedied. the local dealer (auto park honda in cary, nc) was notified of the failure, but the manufacturer was not. the failure mileage was 151,692.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. while driving 25 mph, the contact heard a loud sound from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact smelled a burning odor, but there was no smoke or fire. the fire department was not contacted. the vehicle was towed to bronx honda (2541 e tremont ave, bronx, ny 10461) where it was diagnosed that the engine was leaking oil internally due to a gasket failure, and the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they could not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
A grinding noise when vehicle cold starts started over a week ago and excessive oil consumption over the past few months. was told by honda dealership that it may cost up to $600 to get the vtc actuator fixed but after doing research found this is a common problem for the 2008-2012 accords. 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. i will be fighting this with the dealership on this cost to get it fixed and im highly disappointed in the findings about this issue.
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
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.
When this problem first happened the car has a grinding noise at cold start car is sitting still, vehicle is now producing grinding noise at start and at take off, at various intervals. i have researched and advised by a mechanic this is called the vtc acuator and seems to be common in 2008 to 2011 honda accord's.
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 request nhtsa to review this issue immediately in interest of public safety and take appropriate action. i have also notified honda usa of this issue. awaiting a response.
Honda refuses to make the court ordered repairs for excessive oil consumption which has caused my catalytic converters to fail as well as my spark plugs repeatedly i have taken to the dealership multiple time and all i get is the run around instead of fixing the problem which they are well aware of
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. the contact stated that the ignition failed. once the vehicle was started, it hesitated while driving as if it would stall. also, the maintenance and spark plug indicators illuminated. furthermore, the tail lights shorted out and failed to illuminate randomly. the contact was uncertain if the failures were related to nhtsa campaign numbers: 11v395000 (power train) and 11v004000 (electrical system). crown honda of southpoint (1001 southpoint autopark blvd, durham, nc 27713, (919) 883-4960) was contacted and indicated that an appointment needed to be scheduled to diagnose the vehicle. the dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall or warranty campaign. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Excessive oil consumption, 5 quarts used in 6,000 miles.

While driving vehicle, the engine caught on fire and the engine compartment burned up. the fire department had to put out the fire...on a city street.
Accord v6 with variable cylinder management (vcm). at exactly 65,000 miles, in expressway rush hour traffic, immediate catastrophic power loss and check engine light comes on. tow to honda dealer. dealer receipt shows code p3400 found and dealer replaced rear oil pressure sensor. car owner suggests that an oil change might be in order due to event. once home, owner finds oil overfilled. this vehicle is part of class action engine misfire settlement. dealer did not report any other error codes, that is, those that are covered under the settlement. american honda has declined the owner's request to have the engine performance reviewed with the vehicle owner and an american honda regional service manager present.
My accord has only 89000 miles and engine is burning engine oil almost 1 quart every 3 weeks. i have always took good care and change oil as soon as maintenance required(oil change) light comes on.
I called honda customer to report a problem due to constant check engine lights and to get my car checked with a recall notice . they told me i will charged to see whether my is eligible for the recall notice and told my check engine problem cannot be checked out since my mfg warranty expired since it is only good for 6 yrs from the year of manufactured date and not the sold date . i bought my car 2011 so my warranty is still valid , but for whatever reason they are going by mfg date and sold date.
Excessive oil consupmtion. after driving 4~5 miles.. it can't check "oil quantity" by oil stick
Burns excessive oil. engine shuddered. flashed pcm changed plugs, oil consumption test. said fixed. it is not.
My 2010 v4 honda accord is burning excessive amounts of oil. after doing the oil consumption test though honda, they determined that my engine burned 2.5 quarts of oil in approximately 5,100 miles. i believe that the amount is actually greater because they said that as long as it does not consume 1 quart per 1,000 miles that this is normal and they will not fix it. 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! how can it be normal to burn through more than half of the total amount of motor oil in between oil changes? i now have a car that has an engine that has not been properly lubricated for i am not sure how long because i purchased it used. i may be having to replace my engine before i am even half way through my loan. *tr
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.
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.
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.
My car is burning 1.6 quarts of oil every 1,600 miles; the low oil pressure sensor does not come one. the only reason i know it is low is due to a noise that it makes. honda dealership says it is normal to burn 1.2 quarts of oil every 1,200 miles. this is my fifth honda and i have never had a car do this.
Rattling noise coming from engine after cold start.
Takata recall.there is also 2 more recalls regarding the engine and transmission.when driving the car wants to get into stall mode feeling like if its going to stop while driving on highways or streets.called honda several times since july so far they have not fix the problems they keep on giving me the run around dont know what else to do.dont feel safe driving.
The engine developed a loud knock during use. the knock was very loud when the car was idling. it is a v6 and had 104k miles. honda diagnosed the problem as the front camshaft lobe for cylinder 6 had significant wear and the camshaft had to be replaced. they would not accept responsibility by admitting the part was defective. the only way 1 lobe could deteriorate that much was if it had not been heat treated in the manufacturing process
Since oil change in april 2016, needed to add 3 1/3 qts of oil in less than 4k miles. no oil is dripping from car; no indicator light showing oil low. took to get diagnosis of problem and no problem was found. currently getting an oil consumption test with honda so that we can get extended warranty.
Excessive oil consumption
My 2010 honda accord has had a check engine light for a p0420 code at 110k miles. for someone that knows something about cars, a catalytic converter should not be going out this soon. as i read numerous forums and articles online, many others have reported the same issues with their 8th generation accord, yet honda has not been told to issue a recall. obviously these converters were poorly made and it is going to cost nearly 1000$ to fix this.
Engine makes rattling sound that lasts 1-2 seconds when starting engine after overnight idling. sound of metal-metal rubbing each other. sound goes away after a few seconds. complaint similar to one found online where many people complained of same issue and pin-point problem to the vtc (variable timing control) actuator.
I am wanting to know about any recall on the vtc actuator. this is a known problem and my car is now making that noise at start up. i know alot of people with the same issue and i think honda needs to be responsible and get this problem fixed. this has been going on for about 3 weeks
Vtc actuator failure on cold starts numerous times.
High oil consumption and noise when starting at times.
