Honda Accord Crosstour oil consumption problems

Filed Aug 6, 2025 · Engine, Transmission · LA

I have been experiencing serious problems with my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. In 2013 there was a lawsuit against Honda due to an oil consumption and it stated ALL 2010 Honda Accord Crosstours and since a recall was never issued Honda denied fixing my car. After a lawsuit Honda should have been court appointed to fix everyone of the million cars with the defective engines!!!! The consumer shouldnt have to replace anything. My car completely shutdown) weeks ago while I was driving major safety issue don’t you think geez will it take people to die before they replace all these defective engines??? Oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and thats a defective problem per manufacturer!!!!!! You need to do an investigation on this because it’s the V-6 J35Z2 that they put in majority of there cars and it’s defective that should be against the law!!!!!!!!! I have had so many repairs on this Honda that shouldn’t have had to be done on a Honda. My last Honda had the engine before this defective one and it was great never had a problem. It’s nit the consumers fault so Honda should have to replace all those engines and it should be the lemon law if being sold after a lawsuit on them and they shouldn’t be abje to sell a defective engine knowingly!!!!! Someone need to step up for the consumer in this matter because warranty can’t even apply when it was defective before anyobe purchased the vehicle.!!!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING

Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, which has been facing recurrent misfires due to what appears to be a manufacturer-induced oil consumption defect in the engine design. Over the past 18 months, I have experienced extensive repairs on my Honda, surpassing any issues I have encountered with previous vehicles. Despite my diligent efforts In maintaining the car with regular tune-ups and oil changes , it is disheartening to witness fluids seeping into the engine, causing damage to multiple components. I have invested a significant amount of money into resolving these issues, expenses that should not have arisen with a Honda vehicle, given my positive experiences with the brand in the past. Upon contacting customer service and receiving a case number, I have found the assistance provided to be inadequate in addressing these issues severity of the situation. The recent revelation of a 2014 lawsuit further compounds my concerns, as it appears that Honda seeks to evade accountability for widespread engine malfunctions, leaving loyal customers like myself in a distressing predicament. Despite the substantial financial outlay exceeding $1200, my vehicle remains inoperable due to the unintended consequences of the oil leakage onto pistons, a situation exacerbated by the lack of proactive measures from Honda in rectifying this critical issue. I have meticulously preserved all documentation, including receipts detailing the damages incurred as a result of the oil consumption defect. While I acknowledge the complexities surrounding warranty coverage and ownership transfer, it is evident that the fundamental flaw lies in the initial design of the engine, which has compromised the vehicles performance and safety. Honda’s reluctance to acknowledge and address this inherent defect reflects poorly on their commitment to customer satisfaction and product This what I emailed to Honda.

Have been advised the eco system is causing oil to leak out into the engine cause oil build-up and other issues.

Oil consumption is more than it should be. I have to add oil between changes and I always get a misfire because my engine is trash

My car jerks from the vcm module on the car usually when going around 40 MPH especially when entering a turn( I drive mostly on a 2 lane highway) which makes me feel unsafe because it happens when it shuts down cylinders and jerks the car hard sometimes and gives a significant loss of torque. I recently purchased a honda accord crosstour 2010 with 72k miles on their 3.5l v6 engine and was not informed about honda being sued for their vcm module that shuts down cylinders. It ruins piston rings, breaks engine mounts, misfiring, burning oil, and last but not least bent piston rods all so you can get 1 more mile per gallon. I would like for honda to do a recall to fix engines that are damaged and to finally give their buyers an option to turn the vcm off which is known to prevent those problems and make the car not jerk.I got 75k miles now and jerking has gotten worse to where I'm trying to find ways to turn it off. Thank you for your time!

While driving my 2010 honda accord crosstour on the freeway the engine light started flashing, I immediately took my car to honda of stockton. They notified me that my car is burning oil excessively. Bank 1 pressure switch /bank 2 pressure code p3400 /p3497 vps stuck off both banks. Check engine come on and eco will not work they charged me $150.00. Honda tested the vehicle and has evidence of the excessive oil consumption. I researched this due to them saying to fix this issue it would cost me $8000 and found there is an extended warranty add for this problem but the dealership says my car does not qualify. The extended warranty recall states that 2010 honda accord's qualify, but they will not make repairs for excessive oil consumption which has caused my catalytic converters to fail as well as my spark plugs and piston rings. I have researched and advised the mechanic this is called the vtc acuator and seems to be common in 2008 to 2011 honda accord's.the dealer instructed me not to drive my car it could catch fire and blow up and to contact corporate which is my next step.

Was told the car is experiencing excessive oil consumption and replaced the spark plugs for the second time in less than a year.

The vehicle will use about a quart of oil every 1500 miles. The number 3 cylinder plug will become fouled and case the engine to run rough and engine light flashes. This is under honda tsb 11-033

We bought a 2010 honda accord crosstour for our daughter. Six months after buying it. We took it for an oil change and was told the car had no oil. The mechanic told me to keep an eye on this problem. I keep the oil changed on time typically before 3,000 miles. About four more months go by and my daughter calls saying she's aside the road broke down. Her car was smoking and shaking. Her car was shaking. The mechanic that works on our vehicles was close by and ran to check on her. He checked and said it had no oil. He added oil got car to shop. He told us that it was bone dry and pistons were back firing. He said a car with this low mileage shouldn't back fire pistons and that oil doesn't disappear from the vehicle. Knowing this wasn't the first time the car ran out of oil. He looked online to see if this was a problem with honda cars. He found that this was a problem and there were lawsuits against honda for the same make and model of my car. He suggested we take it to the honda dealership so they could help with any recalls. That was such a waste of time. Three trips taking off work school dance running back and fourth 20mins both ways to bryan honda fayetteville. First time was told no problem. They changed oil and told me to come back in 1000 miles. Second time was told to much oil was in that may be problem. Hmm didn't they change the oil? Third time changed spark plugs misfire. Fourth time my favorite, oil consumption test was fine, car was a quart low on oil, added oil.. I was told by dealership and honda corp that it was normal for oil to be low. It's normal to add oil in between oil changes😂 wow good one honda.

Excess oil consumption. First made aware by oil service technician when the car was just under 5 years old. Technician said they notice excess consumption at the previous change, but thought it was a fluke. Since then, honda has had me recording mileage and oil levels. After nearly 8,000 miles I had enough evidence for them to do a software update....which did not fix the problem. One thousand miles after the most recent oil change, I had to add 1/2 quart. Now the local honda repair shop says they are trying to convince honda to do a good-will fix. Really? How is this good will when this is a known engineering design issue?
