2009 Honda Accord: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Jan 22, 2018 · Engine · 170,000 miles · OH

My engine started knocking due to excessive oil consumption, even tho I changed my oil on time every time. There was a lawsuit in 2013, but honda said I didn't qualify to get my engine replaced free of charge because it was VIN # specific and state specific. Which is crap. I will never buy another honda. Quality has went way down..

I was getting ready to leave for work one morning and I noticed when I cranked the car up that it made a knocking noise for about 2 seconds and quit. I done a lot of research a found that a lot of the same cars have had the same problem. I found out that it was the vtc actuator. It only does this when it is cool. If it has been cranked up it will not do it.

2009 honda accord ex v6 has numerous problems at 130k...most originating at 70-90k. Excessive oil consumption (1 qt a week)! Rough idle and acceleration, 6 lights lit up on dash, including check engine...comes on and off intermittently.....fouled spark plugs, ticking noise coming from steering wheel when turning, brakes must be replaced every 10k miles, loud ticking noise from engine, poor acceleration with missing/sputtering, smoke emits from tailpipes, vsc light stays on along with TPMS! The list goes on and on...I have been loyal to honda since 1993 having owned many, especially accords and this one takes the cake....the worst vehicle ever owned! Do not buy honda...they do not care about you and never will! I missed the class action lawsuit by a couple of months on the engine misfire deal...just recently was made aware of it. Never again honda!!!!

There is a knocking noise coming from the steering wheel. Took it into the dealership and the service manager says the steering column needs to be replaced. He further commented that there is a service bulletin on the defect but honda has not issued a recall. This is a safety issue due to the fact it can over time affect the steering of the vehicle. There are many complaints online about this issue and obviously honda knows there is a problem. There is no reason for a car less than 4 years old to need the steering column replaced.
