    1. No event caused failure. Believe it is just a failure in equipment/material 2. 2008 honda accord is burning an excessive amount of oil. One quart every thousand miles. Several oil changes have had almost no oil in the engine because the problem was unknown. The problem is constant and may be defective oil rings or something worse. 3. What was suggested by honda was rebuilding the engine. *tr

    I own a 2003 honda accord. The car has unintended acceleration. After two episodes where the engine revved up to 4000rpm without depressing on the accelerator the car was taken to the honda dealer and they claim to have repaired the car. Yesterday my wife was driving the car and another episode occurred. She stopped the car with the brakes and no accident occurred. *tr

    Exhaust System

    I have had 2 honda accords and my girlfriend has a 3rd honda accord. Overall the cars are great, but there is an issue that honda refuses to address. The evap system is flawed and especially in new england weather, the canister and shut valve get attacked by road conditions in the winter and something fails. Why should we as consumers have to pay for the repair constantly when the issue is simply an over-sight on…

    My 1999 honda accord lx blew out an engine valve while on the highway driving 60 mph. Honda service will not accept any responsibility for the failure of the engine. At the time the car had only 110k miles. Apparently, it is due to a defective valve design. *tr
