2005 Honda Accord: check engine light

Filed Jan 10, 2022 · Engine, Transmission · WA

AFRAID CAR MIGHT KILL ME! Hello, I have reported this issue before but am getting zero help. My car has a problem where it is burning through the oil, I've had numerous mechanics try to figure out what is causing it but, nothing. I would get an oil change today and before the month is out, I would have to continue checking and putting oil in the car because it would be completely dry. No leaks ever detected... I've change the oil to full synthetic and still have the problem. The vehicle continuously losses power when driving uphill, My check engine light stays on and the light in the glove compartment does not go off while driving. I'm worried my engine will blow up if the problem persist. I am the original and only owner of this vehicle. There is also a problem with the suspension or axel, when I push hard on the brakes, the car makes a noise like the bottom fell out and is dragging metal on the floor. Mechanic also cannot figure that out, I've paid over 6k in diagnosis, repairs and time trying to get help and nothing. I would like to get my honda checked and fixed. I Anxiously await a response and solution to this car. I have Covid and this is my only source of transportation.

Having the dreaded oil burning problem with this vehicle and had to replace my engine 4 times since december 2015. I tried to take it to the dealership the 1st time thinking they would have a solution to this known problem with this year and make of their car. They played extremely dumb and said they never heard of the issue I was having and that I was the first one they heard it from even though it's worldwide on many threads & forums. The problem starts off the same the oil lights starts flashing (meaning the oil level is low), then the check engine lights comes on, and then your screwed due to a blown piston or possible engine seizure if you continue to drive it. Somehow the oil burns internally and consumes all the oil within a short period of time. 200 miles into a fresh oil change and the car is bone dry with no leaks spot. Each engine I replaced it with had between 50k-80k miles on it and the spark plugs, wires, oil filter and oil was replaced every time. Within 1-2 months the same oil burning problem happens. I spent well over $8,000, almost lost my job and had to drop out of college due to the inconvenience it has caused me all within a 10 month period.

Honda strung me a long for two years, resetting the electrical system to clear the engine light each time it was brought in for service. Since those two years the warranty has expired on my hybrid battery, which cost $3500 or more to replace. It is their product, and knew the problem was to replace the battery. They scammed my so now im stuck with a useless car. They would not even agree to assist me in buying another one.

The car sporadically turns off while driving. Before the car shuts off sometimes the dashboard lights will flicker. The check engine light will sometimes go on for a day or two and then turn off. The car was checked out by three nys mechanics who all drove the car at length only to determine that nothing was wrong. One of the mechanics was from a honda dealership.

This incident is concerning my 2005 honda accord ex v6, VIN (given above) . I am the first owner and car has 85000 miles on it. On 21st september 2014 automatic transmission failed without any warning while I was driving on freeway today. Check engine light never turned on .the car just stopped on a crowded interstate, which was very frightening. This vehicle has been properly maintained and I've never missed an oil change, timing belt, etc. I've never had any major problems with this car, no leaks, no engine issues and this leads me to believe there is some sort of defect with this automobile which needs to be recalled. My situation with the transmission is obviously not an isolated incident and honda needs to step-up to the plate. The mechanic said that he has seen this same problem time and time again with honda's especially with 2005 accord v6 transmission failures. On further research on the federal safety agency website, I found the federal safety agency campaign id number : 11v395000 addressing similar problem and as of 23rd september 2014, 1.5 million (1512107) vehicles has been recalled for similar issue.the honda recall number is r89 and the recall was placed on august 27th 2011, for honda accords 2005-2010 for the transmission. I took my car to, grossinger honda, my local honda dealer. The diagnosis was that the transmission had completely failed although fluid levels were normal. Dtc codes were p0741, p0746, and p0777. Honda opened a case and gave me a case no:n012014-09-22-02450. More than 1.5 million vehicles are affected from this recall and they tell me my car isn't one? I strongly feel that my case is genuine and with reference to the federal safety agency campaign id number : 11v395000, my vehicle should be considered for this recall by american honda .

I was driving home from work in stop-and-go traffic. When I went to accelerate I noticed that the vehicle jerked, as if it had a problem shifting. I didn't think much of it at the time until it did it again after I came to another stop and accelerated once traffic started moving again. This time I pulled over to the side of the road. I then noticed the malfunction indicator lamp ("check engine light") came on the dash. The traction control (tcs) indicator also came on. I turned the car off, waited a few seconds, then started it again, hoping that would clear any faults. The indicators were still lit and when I went to put the vehicle in drive the drive "d" indicator was flashing green (it's normally solid green). I drove it a short distance to a nearby parking lot where I called a tow truck to come tow the vehicle to my local honda dealership. Upon driving it to the parking lot I noticed that it wouldn't shift out of first gear. Top speed I got was about 40 MPH. Also the engine was revving slightly. I then knew that the problem was more serious and I feared for the worse. While waiting for the tow truck I checked the error codes that was causing the check engine light to come on. It came back with three codes having to do with the shift solenoid valve a and clutch pressure control solenoid valve a being stuck on. The dealer called me back the next day and explained that they replaced the shift and clutch pressure control solenoids, were going to give it a test drive to see if that corrected the fault, and would call me back afterwards. The next call I received was devastating. I was told that it didn't fix the issue and that I would need a new transmission! I was completely shocked. The car just hit the 50,000 mile mark! I have babied this car since I first bought it new. I don't drive it rough and I follow the maintenance schedule to a t. How could this possibly be?
