Honda refuses to make the court ordered repairs for excessive oil consumption which has caused my catalytic converters to fail as well as my spark plugs repeatedly i have taken to the dealership multiple time and all i get is the run around instead of fixing the problem which they are well aware of

My 2010 v4 honda accord is burning excessive amounts of oil. After doing the oil consumption test though honda, they determined that my engine burned 2.5 quarts of oil in approximately 5,100 miles. I believe that the amount is actually greater because they said that as long as it does not consume 1 quart per 1,000 miles that this is normal and they will not fix it. I know they have settled a class-action suit for…

Car acts like it doesn't want to take off, then stalling while driving, it sometimes starts to jerking. When pressing the accelerator it doesn't want to accelerate. I sometimes pull over to turn the car off to see if it would do better if i restart it, but then it starts acting like it doesn't want to crank back up.

My car is burning 1.6 quarts of oil every 1,600 miles; the low oil pressure sensor does not come one. The only reason i know it is low is due to a noise that it makes. Honda dealership says it is normal to burn 1.2 quarts of oil every 1,200 miles. This is my fifth honda and i have never had a car do this.

The engine developed a loud knock during use. The knock was very loud when the car was idling. It is a v6 and had 104k miles. Honda diagnosed the problem as the front camshaft lobe for cylinder 6 had significant wear and the camshaft had to be replaced. They would not accept responsibility by admitting the part was defective. The only way 1 lobe could deteriorate that much was if it had not been heat treated in the…

My 2010 honda accord has had a check engine light for a p0420 code at 110k miles. For someone that knows something about cars, a catalytic converter should not be going out this soon. As i read numerous forums and articles online, many others have reported the same issues with their 8th generation accord, yet honda has not been told to issue a recall. Obviously these converters were poorly made and it is going to…

Complaint similar to one found online where many people complained of same issue and pin-point problem to the vtc (variable timing control) actuator.

High consumption of oil. This problem is additional to the cold start problem noise. I received a letter about this extending the warrantee to 125,000 miles. I am going tomorrow to get my car serviced. I am going to report this to them and see what they say.
