2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

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 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.

BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL. ENGINE SHUDDERED. FLASHED PCM CHANGED PLUGS, OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. SAID FIXED. IT IS NOT.

INBOARD PASSENGER REAR BRAKE PAD JAMMED AND PREMATURELY WORN; DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE PADS OK. CALIPERS OK. . DEALER HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR BRAKE SETS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE. DEALER BLAMED "CORROSION"; I BLAME A HONDA DESIGN DEFECT IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEM.

I NOTICED THAT BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I WOULD ADD OIL ON A REGULAR BASIC. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I ADDED OIL AND HAD THE LIGHT RESET. YESTERDAY MY WIFE CALLED AND SAID THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH. WHEN SHE GOT HOME I ADDED OIL BUT A FEW SECONDS AFTER RUNNING IT BEGAN TO RAISE AND LOWER THE IDLE. IT STAYED HIGH. I PULLED THE CODES ON AN OBD AND IT SAID MISFIRE OF SPARK PLUGS. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS WITH NO CHANGE. MY NEIGHBOR PULLED THE CODES AGAIN AND FOUND P3400, P3497 AND P303. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS THIS ISSUE IS A COMPUTER ISSUE AND A OIL PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM COVERED BY HONDA. THIS ISSUE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE MOVING AT ALL SPEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL - I VISITED A HONDA DEALER AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: SPRING BRANCH HONDA 10250 KATY FWY HOUSTON, TX 77043-5208 (713) 464-7482 THEY TOOK ALL MY INFORMATION AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO CALL ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THAT WAS AROUND LATE OCTOBER LAST YEAR AND I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM

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

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.

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.
