2008 Honda Accord complaints

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I CHANGE THE OIL RELIGIOUSLY EVERY 3-4,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS 10,000. IF I DID NOT ADD OIL, 2 QTS EVERY 1,500 MILES IT WOULD BE BONE DRY AT 3,000. NO BLUE SMOKE, NO OIL DRIPS LEFT BEHIND

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS FOR HONDA TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE CALLS TO HONDA. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED SO THAT IT IS SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT ASAP.

VTC ACTUATOR MAKES LOUD RATTLE WITH ALMOST EVERY START. IT IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM ON 2007 TO 2012 HONDA CRV AS WELL AS 2008 TO 2012 ACCORDS. IF THIS PART FAILS, THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE UP AND COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. HONDA HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 75000 MILES, THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. GIVEN CASE NUMBER 04825102 AND CONTACTED PRODUCT CONCERNS DEPARTMENT BUT STILL REFUSED TO ADDRESS PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS SERVICE NOTICE 09010. HONDA TECH CONFIRMED THEY HAVE HAD MAY PROBLEMS AND EVEN HAD TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THEIR REPLACEMENT PART. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BY HONDA, BUT THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

TAKATA RECALL: CHECKED DATABASE FOR A YEAR AND MY CAR WAS NOT IN RECALL. THEN I GET A LETTER SAYING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS HAZARDOUS. WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR PART AND HONDA WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. TOLD NOT TO USE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHEN PART WILL ARRIVE.

ENGINE CLICKS WHEN STARTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. IT SOUNDS LIKE OIL IS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE VTC ACTUATOR.

TAKATA RECALL*** RECEIVED NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL 7/23/16 THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR IS NOW PART OF RECALL, ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGER UNTIL ITS BEEN FIXED, BUT HONDA OFFERS NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THAT WILL BE. CALLED HONDA ON 7/25 (NEXT BUSINESS DAY) TO REQUEST ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, WAS TOLD TO ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH LOCAL HONDA DEALER. CALLED THEM, LEFT MESSAGE WITH "PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING". AFTER CALLING FOR TWO MORE DAYS AND TALKING WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, LOCAL DEALER REP STATED THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REVIEWS AND AUTHORIZES LOANER VEHICLE. CALLED NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE 7/28/16 TO FOLLOW UP ON REQUEST AS NO WORD FROM CASE MANAGER. WAS ON VACATION THE FOLLOWING WEEK SO NO FOLLOWUP, BUT NO CALL FROM HONDA EITHER. ON 8/8/16 (TWO WEEKS AFTER INITIAL REQUEST), CALLED AGAIN TO FOLLOW UP, DENISE CONFIRMED MY REQUEST IS IN THE ESCALATIONS QUEUE AND TO BE PATIENT. I FIND IT BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT HONDA CANNOT STAFF THEMSELVES APPROPRIATELY TO DEAL WITH THIS RECALL SITUATION. EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY, WHILE I WAIT "PATIENTLY" IS ANOTHER DAY THAT HONDA OUR FAMILY RISKS INJURY OR DEATH FROM THE AIRBAG IN OUR VEHICLE AND IS ANOTHER DAY THAT HONDA DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF THAT INJURY/DEATH. HONDA IS GAMBLING THAT OUR VEHICLE, THAT HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE 8 YEARS OF EXISTENCE IN A PRIORITY (HUMID) LOCATION (FLORIDA), WON'T INJURE OR KILL US IN THE MEANTIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE GONE SO

TAKATA RECALL I GET LETTER AFTER LETTER FROM HONDA PROMISING TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THE LATEST LETTER TELLS ME TO LET NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SEAT? YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB. YOU SHOULD TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN'T SELL ANY MORE CARS UNTIL THEY FIX THE ONES THEY HAVE SOLD. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICANS HATE THEIR GOVERNMENT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY ON THE FREEWAY, BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 64 MPH - THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON (CHECK ENGINE, LOW OIL, TEMPERATURE..) - SUDDENLY THERE WAS A METAL CLANK FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A PLUME OF THICK CLEAR SMOKE THAT COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE CAR AS THE ENGINE STALLED AND DIED - WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE SMOKE CLEARED RAPIDLY, AND LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, NOTHING SEEMED TO BE AMISS. NO FIRE, NO MORE SMOKE, NO LEAKING FLUIDS, BUT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO RE-START IT PRODUCED ONLY THE CLICK OF THE STARTER - THE ENGINE REFUSED TO TURN OVER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL IN THE ENGINE WHICH HAD CAUSED IT TO SEIZE. FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN BURNING QUITE A SIGNIFICANT BIT OF OIL. DURING THAT PERIOD, IT NEEDED AT LEAST TWO TWO QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES - THERE NEVER WAS ANY OIL LEAK. TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, IT WAS TOPPED OFF WITH TWO QUARTS OF OIL WHEN THE LOW OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS FINALLY OPENED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PISTON ROD HAD SNAPPED OFF WHEN THE ENGINE RAN DRY OF OIL (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES). SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS INVOLVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE CONFIGURATION AND MODEL YEAR (2008 3.5L V6 PZEV). I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED OFFICIAL SEVERAL HONDA SERVICE BULLE

TAKATA RECALL: I INHERITED THIS CAR IN JUNE AND I BROUGHT IT TO HUNTINGTON HONDA TO TO BE SURE THAT ALL WAS IN ORDER, AS I WAS INTENDING TO DRIVE THE CAR FROM NEW YORK TO LOUISIANA AT THE END OF THE SUMMER TO GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO LIVES THERE. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR, DARRELL RAEBURN, IF THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE CAR. HE WASN'T SURE, BUT AFTER CHECKING WITH SOMEONE ELSE, HE SAID YES, THERE WAS BOTH A SOFTWARE AND A HARDWARE RECALL. THEY PERFORMED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE AT THAT TIME, AND HE SAID THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR SHOULD BE IN IN JULY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS WEEK TO ASK THE STATUS. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I SAID THAT WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TOLD, AFTER WHICH I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE DUE IN THE NEXT DAY, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WASN'T A RECALL THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY (JULY 28), BUT WHEN I GOT THERE, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR (DAVE?) THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CAR AND NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I JUST SPOKE ON THE PHONE WITH CRAIG SCELVA, WHO IS SOME TYPE OF TOP SERVICE MANAGER. ASIDE FROM MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CONFUSING INFORMATION AND WASTED TIME TODAY, I ASKED HIM WHAT THE REAL STORY IS REGARDING THE CAR AND AIRBAG RECALL. HE SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY NOT A RECALL, THAT ONLY IF THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON IS THERE A RECALL. YET (AS I TOLD HIM), WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE HTTP://HONDAAIRBAGINFO.COM WEBSITE, T

THIS IS A SAFETY RAISED ISSUE ON A 2008 ACCORD-LXP THAT I PURCHASED USED (WHICH HAD ABOUT 29K ORIGINALLY WHEN I PURCHASED IT AS A CERTIFIED HONDA ACCORD) FROM HERB CHAMBERS BOSTON. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, I STARTED HEARING AN ODD GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING THE CAR ON COLD DAYS - HONDA SAID JUST KEEP OIL FULL. I THEN FIND OUT THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION, THAT HONDA HAD FINALLY AGREED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE DESIGN AND WOULD FIX IT AND AT THE SAME TIME WOULD NOT CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO EMERGE SUCH AS VTC AND THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. RECENTLY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I KNEW ABOUT THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WHICH I WILL BE DETAILING/DESCRIBING BELOW. RESULTS WERE BAD: A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. MY CAR HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD LED TO ME LOSING MY LIFE. NOT, ONLY THAT, WHEN I TRIED TO JUST DRIVE THE CAR A MILE BACK TO MY HOUSE IT WAS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING BY IT SELF. IN ADDITION, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSES, I ALMOST ENDED UP IN COUPLE ACCIDENTS. THE CAR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND WON'T STOP AND THE BRAKES WON'T RESPOND DUE TO ISSUES CAUSED BY OIL CONSUMPTION, TO VTC ACTUATOR TO A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE: THE CAR KEEP ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING BY IT SELF ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. NOTE: IDEALLY THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD NOT FAIL ON 58K MILES. SIMPLIFIED SEQUENCE OF PROBLEMS: OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE VTC (VALVE TIM

TAKATA RECALL-THE DEALERSHIP HAS KNOWN THAT MY CAR HAS DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR SO LONG AND STILL THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. I LAST COMPLAINED IN APRIL. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THERE ARE STILL NO REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT I WILL BE INFORMED WHEN THERE ARE PARTS AVAILABLE. THEY SUGGEST I HAVE NO FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR. NOT USING IT IS NOT AN OPTION. WHY CAN'T THE AIRBAGS PARTS BEING PUT INTO NEWLY BUILT CARS BE USED TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE CARS? HONDA HAS DISAPPOINTED ME ONCE AGAIN. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE -OR RECOMMEND THEM. I WANTED TO SEND THIS MESSAGE SO I HAVE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.
