this will be the 3rd time taking my 2008 v6 into the shop for plugs 1,2 and 3 fouling. This is my 13th new Honda and my last one. Dealer making me track oil consumption . My car is still smoking at 28000 miles.It burns 1 qrt of oil every 1000 miles. Please count me in. They claim that my car is burning the normal amount of oil. What should I do now? Dealership did oil consumption tests at next 2 oil changes and result was within Honda specs. Spoke to the dealer where I purchased my Honda Pre Certified 08 Accord LX-P about an VTC Actuator problem. ?thank you for any info. Have it back to dealer that tried all kind of repair from oil sensor to the tightening heat shield. Im glad someone is doing something about because this is ridiculous. Mine - 2022 Accord Sport SE 1.5T | Still Night Blue Pearl. How can I join this law suit? so i went to another dealer service center and they said thats the defect and they said i you have extended warranty from honda then they will only fix for you without any cost. Dont get me wrong, I love my car and we are big Honda fans. Bought Accord new in 08 cuz I thought it was a reliable car from a reliable company. I could go on and on. And now Im looking its death in the face because the piston ring issue and its no longer a fouled plug or gasketall the suspension is even brand new from all the pre.ature wear, Ive had the entire ac system replaced $1700 in parts, not labor. Your Recalls and Product Safety Alerts; Amazon Assistant; Help; English United States. they will send a report to Honda , and you can hear from Honda the next day. It uses up to 5 quarts betweeen oil changes. Now doing the oil consumption test!! I am doing my best to fight their feeble response to this problem. Does this sound right ???? looks like the battle is on. Basically was told I was crazy! This is the first car I have owned that I need to monitor the oil levels. Finally Honda dealer replaced pistons and piston rings at 60k miles. Ive had to work side jobs and sell items to purchase parts for the vehicle nonstop. And thanks to these great folks for showing Honda you dont keep your great reputation lying to your car owners. I was just told they are going to tear the engine down to a bare block and replace everything else. Called American Honda and opened case yet they will not do anything for me. Oh & it also leaks power steering fluid too! My 2010 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 has had Oil Consump prob since new. Mine did not last enough. My mechanic cant see any leaks. The timing chain has already been replaced less that a year ago and now again the problem is present again. I have vehicle parked at my home still with 57000 miles on a 60000 mile power train warranty. As long as you don't have to top off between changes, you'll survive. Now two years after I bought it (currently 71000 mi. How can I be added to the lawsuit? STILL having same problems!!! Excessive oil consumption between oil changes so much so that the enginge sound would change and eventually the engine oil warning light would come on. Love my accordbut, good-bye Honda. Really hope this gets fixed or at least get compensated do the extra money spent and the repeat headaches. The dealership said it was normal and I said that cannot be true.The VTC actuator makes the rattling noise when it first cranks if it has set for a while without being started for a few years. I guess the person that sold it to me knew what he was doing. I have a 2009 Honda Accord with approximately 64,000 miles. Its burning more and more engin oil as its getting old. JavaScript is disabled. I have a 2008 accord V 6 with same spark plug issues , misfire , oil fouled . They told me my challenge was not related but said they got Honda to contribute. GOT CASE NUMBER CLAIM WITH AMERICAN HONDA CORP. ALSO CONTACTED LAWYER. The car doesnt foul spark plugs as is the case with cars that burn oil. This is my families only car and I still have 3 yrs until its paid off. Complete bullshit. They said they would fix the car. What Accord owners should do: Call your local dealer with your vehicles identification number to determine if its involved in this service bulletin. There is some sort of a technical bulletin issued by Honda Canada that they are aware of this issue and will replace pistons, rings etc. Now I am being told that the only other option is to have the internal seals replaced and rebuild the engine. Have repetitively been told by my dealership that it is normal to have no measurable oil left if I dont get my oil changed at least every 3000 miles, which is insulting to my intelligence. Constantly changing out oil with engine starting to have issues. I have had it in for one recall and four other mechanics could not find anything wrong with it. Notices a build up in the exhaust line which would indicate as many comments do that it is getting into the combustion chamber. When I came back to CA. This was our 1st brand new car & we were so excited & confident to put our trust in Honda. Previous job aid dated October 2010, I which I saw stated 1 qt in 2000k -instruction contact Tec line. Burned approx 1 Qt per thousand when new. first and last HONDA .ALL HONDA VEHICLES ARE SCRAPGARBAGE. They replaced spark plugs . It was completely empty. Hi I bought a 2008 Honda accord lx 4cyl its got roughly 83,xxx on it and I did an oil change about 3 weeks ago cause the valve cover was leaking there is no more leaks but the oil is at the bottom of the dipstick already I dont care about the money reimbursement part I jut want to know is honda going to recall the engine and fix this problem? How can i get recompensated and where would i get information about recalls or options availability so i can stop doing repairs myself. Making bad noise on startup and after driving for hour or so. Anytime someone asks me about my Honda I say will never buy again. Randomly thought about it this morning, so I searched and found this! I have had all of my maintenance done timely and with the dealer. I purchased a 2008 Honda Accord new and it started using oil at about 30,000 miles. If anyone screwed you on this it was your non-Honda mechanic overcharging you for spark plugs and not doing the work that needed to be done. But I am still within 8 years of original purchase. I avoided the class action suit on the rear brake issue. I have a 2009 Accord LXP with only 13,500 miles. I think Honda needs to step up to the plate and fix the problem. 2 weeks later same problem, same fix. Official recalls have been issued for the 2008 Honda Accord by the NHTSA. My car is doing the exact same thing. if they find your car qualifies. I called the dealership and they said to add oil. I have been experiencing excessive oil consumption with my 2009 Honda Accord for the last 18 months. At 62,oo, plug failed again and uses alot of oil 1-1/2 every 3,000 miles. I have the 08 v6 accord. I have a 2008 Honda Accord v6 6-speed ex-l and I have been in and out of the shop almost every other week. Burning through the oil. Last oil change was less than 6k ago and now Im getting another oil change. at 18000mi engine light comes up, drive to dealer and see no engine oil. $400 for new spark plugs is a ludicrous price, and if one of them had broken off inside the engine of course just replacing them wouldnt solve the problem. Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. I add about 1- 2 quarts of oil in between oil changes. I had my 2008 v6 Accord less than a week. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000. Terrible frustrating . This may be due to faulty piston rings and faulty powertrain control module software. Hopefully something positive happens here. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. BAD CASE OF USE. If you cannot recall issues you know people are having that is very poor. They did not charge me for it because they stated that it is covered under warranty. I purchased a 2013 EXL Honda Accord with the 4-cylinder with a direct inject Dreamworks engine. Names to call: Mr. Yamata(CEO)- top tier resolution team: Brian Philbin and Derwin Rodriquez. I have a 2010 honda accord, that is coming up for an oil change(at 2000 of 3000 miles between changes), but the low oil pressure light came on. My car also.shakes bad every day when I first drive it after its been sitting for a few hours. 2008 Honda Accord, I have 152,000 miles on it and had not use 1 drop of oil until all of a sudden the Engine light, the VSM light and Caution lights all came on at once. Now I read all these complaints about honda. I constantly have to check oil and also take to the dealership to top off since it is constantly running low. Also when I start the car, it makes a noise as if it is starting dry. We got a new engine in our 08 Accord at 62000, all covered under warranty due to this exact problem. Needless to say Honda Corporation did not feel the same way. Hipurhcased my 2008 2 door accord brand new. However, after finding this page and doing additional research I am not feeling very good about the future prospects of a vehicle I once considered my dream car. The first time was the oil warning light fairly early in the oils cycle. I really like the car, but probably wont keep it if I have to keep monitoring the oil level that closely. Now the oil life indicator doesnt say 15%-10%-5% any more when its low on oil, and the gauge is still at 80% oil life when its obviously much lower. Oil starvation from a engine is the most damaging and costly effect on a engine :(. Low and the oil light comes on mostly after driving as you slow and turn. Anyone know when the trial date has been set? I contacted Honda, their first reaction was to blame AAA for not performing the correct maintenance. The Specialist could not get authorization from the warranty folks to break down the engine. So glad to see that someone hads finally stepped up to the plate and filed this class action law suit. I filed a complaint with the bureau of automotive repair in California & that helps get the dealership to actually listen to you & do something about fixing your car. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. I called the dealer and brought ALL the evidence that I found into them and they suggested I bring the car in every 1000 miles to do a oil consumption test. The manufacturer was notified. I SHOULD HAVE KEEP MY 03 SS IMPALA NEVER HAD ANY THING GO WRONG WITH IT I JUST GOT A 08 HONDA V6 AN IT MAKE NOSE LIKE ITS GOING TO THROW A ROD SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFTERS ARE KNOCKING WHAT A PICE OF SH,,,,,T .

UPDATE 3: A federal judge granted final approval to the Honda engine misfire class action settlement at a March 21, 2014, Final Fairness Hearing. Have had engine lights flashing, jerky driving, and fouled plugs replaced twice since at least 66k miles in 2011 Pilot (always Mystery Cylinder #3). I live in NY. And for HONDA to stand by and KNOW that they made a really BAD vehicle and not help those out that have the issues is crap. Its a huge safety issue and I believe it should be fixed first. 2009 Honda Accord and I live in Southern CA. My 2010 Honda accord EX had this exact issue in 2012 after 50K miles. My 2008 4 cyl is doing the same thing also, revving between 1st and 2nd gear, dipstick at zero, oil lamp on briefly, when revving, they already replaced serp belts.what is the fix for this problem????? I will contact our local Honda dealership as well for an oil consumption test. Just received a recall for "The piston rings may be sticking resulting in high oil consumption" . I will ask to inspect the block when it is torn down. Dave (#105 & #108), do you have any more details on the recall in Canada. I have multiple diagnostic codes errors P3400, P0304, P0303, P0300 to name a few. Mine is doing the same thing. Have a 2008 Honda accord 4 cy with a little over 35K on it. Have mechanic at your local shop suck out one quart threw dip stick tube. When I looked on the computer before they even called me back I found so many similar complaints with the end result being the engine needed replaced I was floored. I bought a honda for a reason .. and this was not the reasonthere are 6 hondas within our ext. I have gone through the dealer with several oil consumption tests but have been told I do not meet the tolerances established by Honda of 1.0 quart per 1000 miles (I am at .75 quart/1000). Fortunately my son look on the internet and thought to check my oil- it was gone. Using 1qt about every 1000miles.. What happened to Hondas being such GREAT cars?????? I spent the majority of my time at the dealership. Agghhhh Good thing I have an appointment in the morning to find out what the problem is. in this case, they will stand on your side because that can bring the money into their pocket and the fix to your car.
