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

Yellow sac spider blocking venting of fuel tank yellow sac spider built nest in evap system causing blockage and triggering a dtc code p2422 (evap cannister vent shut valve close malfunction). This problem has been an issue for 2008 and 2009 honda accords and a technical service bulletin 08-087 had been issued to dealers. Other car manufacturers, notably mazda and toyota, issued recalls to deal with yellow sac spider problems. Honda treated it as a warranty issue and might make a partial payment for out of warranty claims. The fix is to install a spring in the valve to prevent spider nests. A blocked vent line can cause excessive pressure in the gas tank leading to leakages or worse. Unless a spring is installed, any honda accord model years 2008 and 2009 can have this problem. Yellow sac spiders are found in 49 states, canada and mexico.

Back in august I took my car to southeastern honda dealer like I routinely do to have my oil changed. It was suggested by service rep to change my transmission fluid, which I did. On my way home from work one night my engine light started flashing and my car was driving like it is going to shut off. I took my car to the dealer and they hooked it up to a machine and said it was 2 of my spark plugs, it's a common problem with the accords v6 so it's best to change all of plugs which I agreed too and this will solve the problem. On 2/7/13 I took my car to southeastern honda for my routine oil change and again the service rep suggested my power steering fluid and brake fluid needed to be changed which I agreed too. On my way home the vsa, brake light and ABS light came on in the car. As so as I was able to I took it back to southeastern honda, the same service rep said they hook it up and it was the spark plugs which was change back in august and it should not be occurring because all the plugs were changed and it's a defect in the engine. He will speak with the good will honda person because the car needs an engine. He called back a couple of days later and say it's the engine and I will be required to pay half for the engine. I left my car at the dealer for a week, paid a few dollars short of $3000.00 dollars and my engine vsa, brake and ABS lights is still coming on. I googled this problem and alot of the hondas have this problem. I will like to know what is the status of this problem.

Engine malfunction light came on. Tightened fuel cap per om. Days later took to dealer for service. Dealer discovered that allegedly an animal had crawled above gas tank (below rear seat/frame) & gnawed away some of the plastic or vr valve attached to the gas tank creating a "pinhole" leak for fuel vapor & liquid....assembly requires replacement of whole gas tank.
