“The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, noticed the vehicle loosing motive power.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, however no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.”

“A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CLAIMS THAT 2008-2010 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE A SYSTEMATIC DESIGN DEFECT THAT ENABLES OIL TO ENTER INTO THE ENGINES COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THE DEFECT CAUSES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, PREMATURE SPARK PLUG DEGRADATION AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION. IN MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD, THIS HAS CAUSED CYLINDER MISFIRES ON THE FOLLOWING THREE DATES, INCLUDING SPARK PLUG FAILURE, MULTIPLE SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENTS AND ENGINE TROUBLE: - JUNE 21, 2012 - APRIL 18, 2013 - SEPTEMBER 17, 2013 HONDA HAS SETTLED THIS LAWSUIT BUT DETAILS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. HERE ARE THE DETAILS: HTTP://WWW.TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/4946-CLASS-ACTION-SETTLEMENT-REACHED-OVER-HONDA-ACCORD-OIL-DEFECT”

“VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSUMING OIL SINCE PURCHASED WITH 9,500 MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO FOULED SPARK PLUGS. FOULED SPARK PLUGS TRIGGERED "CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE" CODE AND EXTREMELY POOR PERFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE CAR EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT CYLINDER MISFIRE ISSUES. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATES ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. IF THE CONSUMER IS NOT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE IS USING OIL, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THE ENGINE TO SEIZE CAUSING COSTLY REPAIRS OR TO LOSE POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER IS NOW PERFORMING HONDA OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ACCORDING TO HONDA, CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1,000 MILES IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. THIS BURNED OIL IS BEING RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS EVIDENCED BY THE BLACK CARBON ON THE TAIL PIPES. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A LEADING CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD DEEM OIL CONSUMPTION IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AS NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE OUT OF 12 THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED THAT CONSUMED OIL. EVEN VEHICLES WITH OVER 200,000 MILES DID NOT…”

“USES EXCESS AMOUNT OF OIL. HAVE TO CHECK DAILY. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. HAVE HEARD THERE IS SOME KIND OF LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! ALSO, METALLIC PAINT IS PEELING- VERY CHEAP AND STEREO SYSTEM COMPONENTS NOT WORKING. ALSO MAKES A LOUD WEIRD SOUND FROM ENGINE WHEN IT FIRST STARTS. *TR”

“CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO MISFIRING AND FOULED #3 SPARK PLUG. ALSO, BETWEEN MOTOR OIL CHANGES AT 35,761 MILES AND AT 43,140 MILES, APPROXIMATELY 2 QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION.”

“2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND DASHBOARD INDICATORS. *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER A BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE RESPECTIVE PROBLEM. THE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALER SATISFIED UNTIL JAN 30, 2012, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN, GENERATING SEVERAL OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ON A REDUCED CYLINDER. ON AUGUST 18, 2012, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE DEALER CHARGED HIM $525.43. *JB”
