In 2008, I purchase a new honda accord v6 paid with financing $25,000. I purchase a brand new vehicle to not have to be bothered with someone else problems. When my car reached 100 thousand miles in the winter, I heard a loud knocking sound under the hood and I was loosing a lot of oil. I took my car to the dealer. My engine light was on and start blinking. The dealer pulled the dtc and the p0301 cold was present. A service bulletin 13-078 and case # 312-cv-01377-s1 told me that would be no cost to me because I was a class member. This was from a class action filing that 1.5 million honda were defective because of a manufacturer defect. I was told this would fix my $25,000 investment honda I purchase and paid in full. Since then I went to the community honda dealership in orland park illinois and on april 2019 the p0301 code was present again something new and the p0420 dtc. I paid again for tune up which the 1st cylinder was fouled out again the third time this year. The director of the service department name bob stated for this repair again would cost me $8,000 and smiled. I said I could not afford that repair and because now that the first repair which I was lead to believe was going to fix the effect and did not. I was sold a lemon and I need honda to repurchase this vehicle and give me a brand new vehicle similar to the one I purchase for $25,000. The community honda service director would not warranty my tune up because he said I need piston rings again. I then contacted honda corporation and informed them of my issue with the vehicle I purchase with was a defect. Took two weeks for the regional director per dana honda rep stated no more assistance will be given to this defective vehicle which is a manufacturer defect that I would not have purchase if I had known. I then had to go to pep boys to avoid blowing the engine and catching a fire for repa

Hello, I have a 2008, v4 honda accord. I started having problems back october 2012 with the oil. When I get an oil change, I would need to add at least 2 quarts of oil before the next oil change is do. It started off with adding oil the very next month after a new oil change! That is so ridiculous. The only way I would know that I needed more oil was there would be a burning smell coming from the car and a knocking noise. My oil light indicator would never light up-which is another malfunction. I took the car to honda for servicing and told them what the car was doing. They told me that they did not see anything and that if it persists to bring it back in. So immediately I?m thinking that maybe they are not changing the oil correctly?! So the next few months I kind of kept track of the oil and took my car somewhere else for the oil change to see if that made a difference. Within the past year since then, I have had 4 oil changes with the other place and they did tell me that there is probably a honda malfunction going on because the car is not supposed to keep losing oil within oil changes and having to add oil!! I am going to take my car in again to honda and see what they are going to do. I just do not want to have the car engine blow up on me because of something honda should have repaired. If someone else has had any resolution to their honda place, please contact me at [xxx]thanks. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

If you are driving at any speed over 40 MPH and begin to stop; the steering wheel vibrates and the front end has a knocking sound. Taking the car in for service multiple times and having this issue noted. I have been told on three different occasion that my rotors are wrapped and need to be turned down. Having the rotors turn, soon as I left the lot . The issue still remained. The most offensive remarks made by a honda service rep. Is" I have poor driving habits." thinking I was going crazy, I asked a total stranger at my local supermarket driving a 2008 accord. They told me they also have been experiencing the same issue with the car and honda's service dept. I have been dealing with this headache for now 71000 miles, and now refuse to purchase another honda ever. They probably could not give the car to me for free.
