2009 Honda Accord complaints

WE ARE EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH MILEAGE UNDER 80,000 WITH OUR 2008/2009 HONDA ACCORD. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THERE HAS BEEN A SETTLEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON VEHICLES WITH A WARRANTEE. HONDA HAS GIVEN US A RUN AROUND ABOUT OUR COMPLAINTS SAYING THE OUR CAR IS OLD, SUGGESTING THEREFORE THAT WE NEED TO GET A NEWER MODEL, AND BY CALLING US BACK FOR TWO 1,000 MILE CHECKS AND NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS. MY WISE HUSBAND WENT ON LINE BECAUSE OF HIS SUSPICIONS OF THEIR ACTIONS AND LEARNED HE WAS CORRECT: THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THIS MODEL CAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH A SETTLEMENT EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE. HONDA IS REPORTED AS ISSUING TSB #11-033 IN JULY 2011. WE DID NOT RECEIVE THAT BULLETIN. WHY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V030000 (AIR BAGS), 09E063000 (EQUIPMENT), AND 16V056000 (AIR BAGS). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT OR WARNING. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, CAUSING EXTENSIVE INJURIES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN APPLYING FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, AND BACK PAINS. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE BRUISING, PAIN TO THE HEAD AND BACK, AND INJURIES TO THE LEFT ARM, COLLAR BONE, AND STERNUM. BOTH OCCUPANTS REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DEEMED THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. THE DEALER (MUNGENAST ST. LOUIS HONDA, 5939 S LINDBERGH BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63123, (314) 894-1330) WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT PROVIDED THE DTC TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHICH RECALL MAY HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OR IF A DIFFERENT FAILURE HAPPENED THAT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG AND CRUISE CONTROL FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. VIN TOOL

VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR ROUTINE 30K SERVICE, NO WAY THIS PART FAILED IN THE 9K MILES I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. BEARING BURN OUT CAN CAUSE AXEL TO FAIL. FAILURE INDICATED ON SERVICE ORDER SUMMARY ATTACHED.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, CAUSING SPARK PLUG MALFUNCTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. THE CONTACT OPENED THE TRUNK AND FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUPPORTING STRUTS FOR THE TRUNK DOOR HAD BURST OPEN, WHICH PREVENTED THE TRUNK FROM REMAINING OPEN WHEN IN USE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,550.

THE VTC ACTUATOR ON MY HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN MAKING A RATTLING SOUND DURING AN ENGINE COLD STARTUP FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. AFTER CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE OR RELIABILITY ISSUES. HOWEVER, THE SOUND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND THE OTHER DAY, WHILE DRIVING, MY WIFE LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD; THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR AND WE WILL NEED TO REPLACE THIS ACTUATOR WITH A REDESIGNED ACTUATOR AT A COST OF $1600(INCLUDING SUGGESTED PART CHANGES WHILE THE WORK IS BEING DONE). THE COST IS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME, IT IS THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THE SITUATION THAT'S TROUBLESOME. IF A REDESIGNED ACTUATOR EXISTS SHOULDN'T CUSTOMERS AT LEAST BE AWARE OF THIS AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF NOT CHANGING THIS PART?

SRS UNIT FAILED AFTER RECALL COMPLETED OF THE INFLATOR RECALL. HONDA DOES HAVE A 15 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART, BUT WOULD NOT APPLY IT SINCE THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO READ THE ERROR CODES. INFLATOR WAS REPLACED AROUND FEBRUARY, SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MAY AND REPAIRS WAS COMPLETED ON 7/11/17 AT MY EXPENSE.

ECCESIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD NEW IN 2009 IN FLORIDA. I GAVE THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER IN 2016 AND SHE MOVED TO ILLINOIS. SHE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRED ON 6/24/17 BUT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER STATES THERE IS A "FRONT WEIGHT SENSOR FAILURE" AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR COST OF $882.32. HONDA INDICATES THIS PART IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOUD BE FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE RECALL REAIR WAS COMPLETED.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, OIL LIGHT ONLY FLICKERED WHEN TURNING CORNERS, OIL CHANGE ODOMETER SAID OIL WAS AT 30%. CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO OIL. THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO TAKE APART ENGINE YET. THEY RAN A CLEANER THROUGH ENGINE.

THE BRAKES PADS ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX ARE WEARING OUT EXPECTIONALLY FAST. EVERY 6 MONTHS. THERE IS A LAWSUIT PENDING AGAINST HONDA FOR FIX. I WANT TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO HONDA SELLING ME A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND SIDE CURTAIN AND PASSENGERS FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED AS MY SON WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT WHERE HE WORKS. THANK GOD HE WORKS AT A HOSPITAL. I THOUGHT HONDAS WAS SAFE BUT HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW? IT'S SEEMS LIKE NO ONE WANTS TO HELP OTHER THAN OUR INSURANCE. HE SAID HE WAS MAYBE GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR.

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD LX-P (4 CYLINDER, 2.4 L). IT CONSUMES EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL. I DID A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ( HAD ALMOST 107K MILES ON THE CAR) AT A HONDA SERVICE CENTER. RESULT SAID THE CAR CONSUMED 1 QUARTER OF OIL FOR EVERY 1000 MILES (I NEVER SEE ANY WARNING LIGHT WHEN OIL GETS THIS LOW.) HONDA SERVICE CENTER, AFTER TAKING ABOUT A MONTH, SAID THE VEHICLE MEETS THE REQUIREMENT AND THEREFOR DON'T QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. SO LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY WEEK OR SO, AND ALSO REFILL OIL AT EVERY 1000 MILES INSTEAD OF STANDARD 3000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTIFIED DEALER 65 DAYS AGO, BUT NO CORRECTION TAKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MECHANIC OF A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOW, BUT THERE WERE NO OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

HONDA KNOWS ALL ABOUT THEIR 6 CYL ENGINES BURNING THROUGH OIL BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR STARTED BURNING AND NOW LEAKING OIL BADLY BEFORE IT HIT 100,000 MILES BUT I AM NOW LOOKING AT A LARGE REPAIR BILL AS MY CAR ISN'T ON "THE LIST". NOT SURE HOW IT COULDN'T BE AS ARTICLES CITE 6 CYL ACCORDS BETWEEN THE YEARS 2008 AND 2012. MINE IS A 6 CYL ACCORD, 2009: HOW IS THAT NOT ON THE LIST?

LAST MONDAY MORNING, I DROVE ON A 2-LANE NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AT 25MPH SINCE IT WAS RAINING. MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL. I TOUCHED THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE WINDSHIELD STARTED FOG IMMEDIATELY. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WHILE MY CAR STILL MOVED FORWARDED. I FORCED THE SPEED SHAFT INTO THE PARK POSITION. MY CAR STOPPED ON THE OPPOSITE LANE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO VEHICLE FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I WAS SAFE. THE ACCIDENT LOCATION IS ONE MILE AWAY FROM INTERSTATE. IF THIS HAPPED ON THE INTERSTATE, TRAGEDY WOULD BE INEVITABLE. AFTER MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP, I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT-FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED AT THE BUSHING LOCATION. THE FRACTURE SECTION WAS NOT NEW AT ALL. IT IS A TYPICAL STRESS CORROSION FRACTURE OVER YEARS. IT SHOULD START AT THE ORIGINAL DEFECT. I CALLED HONDA ACCORD MANUFACTURING USA LAST FRIDAY. THEY DENIED DISCUSSING HOW THIS PART WAS FAILED OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AT A 180 DEGREE ANGLE INTO THREE LANES, A 360 DEGREE ANGLE HEAD ON INTO THE GUARDRAIL, AND THEN ONTO THE SHOULDER OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK, HEAD, AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED NECK, BACK, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT AND THEN TO AN INSURANCE TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH ON ROUTE I-287 IN MORRISTOWN, NJ, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE BADLY AND THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE. I GOT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION IN MORRISTOWN, WHERE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT ONE OF MY SPARK PLUGS HAD FAILED TO FUNCTION, HAVING BEEN BADLY OIL FOULED. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND SAID THE COMPUTER SCANNER SHOWED CODE P0303 MISFIRE CYLINDER #3. HE ALSO NOTED THAT HONDA HAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR PISTON RING REPLACEMENT INITIATED IN 2013 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13. THEY REPLACED 3 OF THE 4 SPARK PLUGS IN QUESTION (1 HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED) AND UPDATED THE CAR'S COMPUTER PROGRAM, CALLING THAT STEP ONE IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT HONDA'S PROTOCOL FOR THIS IS TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND THEN WAIT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. (I LATER CONFIRMED THIS PROTOCOL BY PHONE WITH HONDA AMERICA.) LACKING THAT, HONDA WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY DO THE REPAIR, BUT THIS FIX SEEMS TO WORK ABOUT HALF THE TIME. WHEN THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED IN 2013, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. CLEARLY, HONDA RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OF OIL LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, AS I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE. IN MY CASE, MY ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS IT DEFINITELY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BECAUSE HOND

WE'VE BEEN CALLING GUNN HONDA IN SAN ANTONIO TX SINCE AUGUST OF 2016. SINCE THEN, AT EACH CALL WE'VE HEARD "THE PARTS WON'T BE IN FOR TWO WEEKS, AND WE'LL CALL YOU". WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA TODAY TO ASK IF THE CAR HAD BEEN SOLD OR DEMOLISHED, SO WE CALLED GUNN HONDA. THEY SAID THEY HADN'T EVER HEARD OF US, BUT THEY'LL TAKE THE CAR MONDAY. THEY WON'T SAY HOW LONG REPAIRS WILL TAKE. I FEAR AS THIS IS A RECALL INSTEAD OF A "PAYING" JOB, THEY'LL KEEP THE CAR FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WITH AN ESTIMATE OF "TWO WEEKS".

TAKATA RECALL, I'VE BEEN WAITING 5-6 MONTHS FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THEY'VE NOT RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT PART YET. I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SAFELY. WILL HONDA PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR? APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS MESS... THANKS

2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE NHTSA WEBSITE WAS NOT UP-TO-DATE CONCERNING RECALLS ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. UPDATED 03/23/2017 *JS

I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS RECALL. THEY DID NOT HAVE A STATUS ON MY REPAIR PARTS. THAT WAS OVER 4 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THIS RECALL. 2 MONTHS IS STANDARD FOR A RECALL? THIS WILL BE GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS AT THIS RATE! WAY TO GO HONDA, AND WAY TO GO NHTSA. HOW MANY MORE LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST ON THIS RECALL???

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE INTERIM RECALL LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALER TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. SHOWED UP FOR APPOINTMENT AND DEALER STATED THAT PART HAS NOT ARRIVED. NO PARTS FOR THE RECALL! MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SUPPOSEDLY THE PART SHOULD BE ORDERED BY THE DEALER USING THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. PART SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLE. WASTED MY TIME TAKING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER. STILL THEY HAVEN'T CALL ME TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND RE-SCHEDULE AT HONDA DEALER.

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL LETTER DATED JULY 2016. WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY FALL 2016 AND TO AVOID HAVING ANYONE IN MY PASSANGER SIDE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ITS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS & FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RECALL.

HELLO, NEITHER THE NHTSA RECALL WEBSITE NOR HONDA'S WEBSITE INDICATES THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG IGNITER ON MY VEHICLE, YET THE DEALERSHIP MAILED/CALLED ME ABOUT AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM, THEY WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THEY VERIFIED THE RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. MY QUESTION/CONCERN: WHY WOULD THE DEALER HAVE ACCESS TO SAFETY INFORMATION THAT IS HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC? I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A CRITICAL SAFETY DEFECT WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I WAS TOLD THE REMEDY PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER OR FALL OF 2016. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER (PASADENA HONDA) ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I'M TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT'S QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE TO BE UNABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. HONDA HAS NOT INDICATED WHEN I WILL, IN TRUTH, BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED.

TARKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2016, ASKING TO TAKE AUTO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND ADVISE ME. THEY NEVER DID, SO I WENT BACK ON 8/31/16 AND SPOKE WITH ADVISOR, PAUL MLYNAREK. HE SAID HONDA HAD NOT SENT THEM THE PARTS TO REPAIR VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUED TO GIVE ME THE VERY SAME RESPONSE EACH TIME I CALLED. I FEEL THAT 7-MONTHS IS AMPLE TIME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND GRINDING NOISE IN THE ENGINE

MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS PURCHASED BY OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS A GOOD VEHICLE AND NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. IT WAS IN A MINOR CRASH AND HAD SOME OF THE FRAME READJUSTED. RECENTLY, (WITHIN 6 MONTHS) I HAVE NOTICED THE VEHICLE CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN USUAL. I FOLLOWED UP WITH HONDA TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOTICE I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE VEHICLE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY STATED THAT THE PISTON RINGS MAY BE STICKING MORE THAN USUAL AND THE VEHICLE COULD BE CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. THE WARRANTY STATED IT WAS GOOD FOR UP TO 8 YEARS FROM THE PURCHASE OR 125,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. AT THE TIME THE HONDA WAS AT 134,000 MILES. HONDA TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASK HOW TO START THE PROCESS ON THE PISTON RINGS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THEY NEEDED TO START WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH AN OIL CHANGE, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER 1,000 MILES FOR THEM TO TRACK THE OIL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS DEALT WITH MORE BAD NEWS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT I COULD NOT START THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST UNTIL I FIXED TWO OTHER OIL LEAKS THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAS A VALVE GASKET LEAK WHICH ALSO NEEDED A VALVE ADJUSTMENT AS WELL AS A CRANK SEAL LEAK. THE LOCAL DEALER QUOTED ME THAT THE VALVE GASKET WOULD COST $225, THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE $325, AND THE CRANK SEAL LEAK WOULD BE $245. EVERYWHERE I HAVE HEARD OTHERWISE THE COST OF THESE FIXES WOULD BE M

AIRBAG (UNKNOWN WHETHER TAMARA) RECALL: REC'D LETTER FROM AMERICAN HONDA DATED JULY 2016 NOTIFYING ME OF RECALL AND SAYING "HONDA WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER LETTER WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE...". AS OF TODAY (12/27/16) I'VE RECEIVED NOTHING, SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER - LARRY HOPKINS HONDA; SUNNYVALE CA. WAS TOLD THEY HAVE PARTS; HAVE HAD THEM FOR A WHILE! - BUT NEXT APPOINTMENT ISN'T UNTIL MARCH 16. WAS ALSO THEY COULD HAVE GOT ME IN SOONER HAD I CALLED SOONER ! WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED SOONER BY AMERICAN HONDA? I REGULARLY TRANSPORT A 95 YEAR OLD MOTHER, AS WELL AS A DISABLED BROTHER.

MY ENGINE IS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I RECENTLY NOTICED THIS AND HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON RANDOM DEFECTS WITH HONDA ACCORDS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT ONE DAY CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GAS BUMP BUT THEY WERE WRONG. THE PROCEDURE TO FIX THIS MAY COST ME A LOT OF MONEY BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE. IT EFFECTS MY SAFETY AND I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK THAT. *TR
