TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD CROSSTOUR. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CV AXLES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,745.

I BOUGHT A HONDA ON QUITE A FEW REFERRALS BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SOLID CARS THAT LAST. I HAD ACTUALLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I WOULD TAKE IT IN AND IT WOULD BE FIXED (?). UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN THE ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS WOULD GO ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN OFF, THEN BACK ON, THEN OF AGAIN. THE FINAL TIME THEY WENT ON THEY WERE BLINKING AND MY CAR WAS ACTING VERY SLUGGISH, IT WAS NOT GETTING A LOT OF POWER SO I TOOK IT IN TO A HONDA DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER PICKING MY SELF UP OFF OF THE FLOOR FROM THE ESTIMATE THAT THEY GAVE ME, I TOOK THEIR PRINT OUT TO ANOTHER REPAIR CENTER, THAT RHYMES WITH, HIRESTONE, BECAUSE THEY HAD TAKEN CARE OF A FEW THINGS IN THE PAST AND HAD GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPARABLE PRICING. ONE WEEK LATER, MY ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I FLIPPED OUT! I TOOK IT BACK TO 'HIRESTONE" AND THEY TOOK IT IN AND A FEW HOURS LATER, HERE I AM READING ABOUT THE LAWSUIT WITH HONDA OVER THE EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE DEAL. NOW I WILL BE SUPER INCONVENIENCED TO FIND A WAY TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO A DEALER FOR A COUPLE HOURS FOR MY 3RD OIL CHANGE IN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS SO THEY CAN MONITOR THE USAGE AND DETERMINE IF I QUALIFY TO HAVE THE PISTON RINGS REPLACED, A 1-2 DAY JOB. ALSO COME TO FIND OUT THAT IF IT IS THE LAWSUIT ISSUE, AMERICAN HONDA DOES NOT OFFER A RENTAL CAR FOR ME WHILE THEY ARE FIXING "THEIR" FAULTY ISSUE. I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS HEADACHE, THEY KNEW ABOUT IT A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYTHING!! URGGGGGGG!!!!

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, AND SHAKES UPON ACCELERATION. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE DRIVE AXLE ISSUES WITH THIS AUTO. IN FACT THEY TELL ME THE CAR NEEDS DRIVE AXLES, BUT CAN'T REPAIR AS THE DRIVE AXLES ARE ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER, AND IF THEY COULD GET THE AXLES THE REPAIR WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $1000.00.

RIGHT FRONT AXLE HAS BEEN ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE ARE NO AFTER-MARKET REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE. VEHICLE RATTLES AND SHAKES UPON ACCELERATION AND BRAKING.

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. FIRST MADE AWARE BY OIL SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. TECHNICIAN SAID THEY NOTICE EXCESS CONSUMPTION AT THE PREVIOUS CHANGE, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. SINCE THEN, HONDA HAS HAD ME RECORDING MILEAGE AND OIL LEVELS. AFTER NEARLY 8,000 MILES I HAD ENOUGH EVIDENCE FOR THEM TO DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE....WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ONE THOUSAND MILES AFTER THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE, I HAD TO ADD 1/2 QUART. NOW THE LOCAL HONDA REPAIR SHOP SAYS THEY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE HONDA TO DO A GOOD-WILL FIX. REALLY? HOW IS THIS GOOD WILL WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE?

TWO WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE SWITCHING GEARS SLUGGISHLY. THEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO O'REILLY'S TO INVESTIGATE THE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A P3400 CODE/BANK 1. I RESEARCHED THE CODE AND PURCHASED 2 QUARTS OF THE 0W20 SYNTHETIC OIL. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY AND RESCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW (3 DAYS LATER). THE LIGHT HAS SINCE COME BACK ON; I AGAIN CHECKED THE OIL AND HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF 0W20 SYNTHETIC OIL. ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS SLUGGISH AND HAS A NEW SYMPTOM OF KNOCKING WHEN ACCELERATING. I WILL HAVE IT TOWED IN THE MORNING FOR THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE TO ENSURE NOTHING IS DAMAGED. I HAVE DONE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA LAST YEAR IN REFERENCE TO A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR SERVICE BULLETIN (#11-033) THAT ADDRESSED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FROM A "SYSTEMATIC DESIGN DEFECT THAT ENABLES OIL TO ENTER INTO THE ENGINE'S COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THIS LEADS TO PREMATURE SPARK PLUG DEGRADATION AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION." HOPEFULLY, THE DEALERSHIP WILL REPAIR THE DEFECT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

ENGINE TYPE 3.5 I VTEC V6 - THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUITE ON THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE'S WITH THIS ENGINE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK AND CALLED MY DEALER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER NEAR MY WORK THEY TOLD ME THAT A HAD A ENGINE MISS FIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER ONE, THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND DID A ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN THEY WOULD REBUILD THE UPPER END OF THE MOTOR AT THERE COST. THEY GAVE ME A 8 YEAR EXTENSION WARRANTY UNTIL 2018, UNLIMITED MILES FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS FIX WORKS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE CARS, BUT DIDN'T FEEL THAT THIS ONE WOULD BE ONE THAT IT WORKS ON... SINCE IT CONSUMED TWO QUARTS OF OIL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR 3,500+ MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND IT IS RUNNING GREAT. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE % OF THIS FIX WORKING. *TR
