2010 Honda Accord: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Nov 15, 2017 · Electrical · AL

Within the last year when my car is first started it grinds when the key is turned. Like it is not being turned all the way or being held too long but it isn't. Does not happen after the first start and doesn't happen every time. Seems to be worse when it is cold.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. While driving 15 MPH, a grinding noise was heard coming from the engine. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to shingle springs honda (4070 mother lode dr, shingle springs, ca 95682, (530) 677-5700) where it was diagnosed that the oil level was low and the vehicle was due for a routine oil change. The routine oil change was completed and the grinding noise was gone. The contact then received a service bulletin from honda for oil consumption testing. The vehicle was taken to the dealer every 1,000 miles for several months where it was diagnosed that a half quart of oil was being used. The oil was refilled. At the end of the testing period, the dealer found that the vehicle was not consuming an excessive amount of oil. The contact believed that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil and notified the manufacturer where a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

A grinding noise when vehicle cold starts started over a week ago and excessive oil consumption over the past few months. Was told by honda dealership that it may cost up to $600 to get the vtc actuator fixed but after doing research found this is a common problem for the 2008-2012 accords. Why should I pay for a known issue by the manufacturer. Ive always been a advocate for honda vehicles but this is unacceptable and a recall needs to be made to fix this and the pistons leading to the excessive oil consumption. I will be fighting this with the dealership on this cost to get it fixed and im highly disappointed in the findings about this issue.

Excessive oil consumption. The car began grinding and had no oil registered on the dipstick after 1000 miles following an oil change. This happened multiple times despite using high mileage oil and getting oil changes more frequently than recommended,

When this problem first happened the car has a grinding noise at cold start car is sitting still, vehicle is now producing grinding noise at start and at take off, at various intervals. I have researched and advised by a mechanic this is called the vtc acuator and seems to be common in 2008 to 2011 honda accord's.

I bought my 2010 honda accord 2dr lx-s (5a) brand new in august 2010 and have had several issues with it since - most of which has gotten worse that I am scared for my safety and those on the road. - while driving on both highway and non highway speeds ranging from 15mph - 60mph severe rubber smell and grinding of brakes-sounded as if the entire car was going to fall apart. When I got home the rear brakes and pads were completely rusted, black and were extremely hot to touch. Schaumburg dealership said the rear pads weren't installed correctly. -everyday since mile 25,000 my car when started at any time has made a large and extremely loud cranking noise that lasts about 2 seconds. Schaumburg dealership days this is related to the I-vtec 4-cylinder engine but it was no longer under warranty. (this was at 71,000 miles). No fuss had been made had they said it is completely fine with the cranking noise. -when turning and driving in general the car makes a weird whining noise from 0mph - 45mph I've noticed this many times as when turning left or right my vehicle ias extremely uneven. This also could relate to the starting wheel being 5 inches to the right when the wheels are straight; I've paid for multiple alignments and it continues to happen. -lastly the breaking system is terrible and does not stop correctly. I now have to slow down almost to a complete stop 500 feet prior so they work; I have to drive extremely slow and be very cautious.

Car consumes oil between oil changes. It will take 2-3 quarts of motor oil between servicing. Found no oil leak. Oil levels can drop really low and oil light indicator does not turn on. Vehicle has a grinding noise for a few seconds on a cold start. Vehicle computer was updated/programmed previously by honda to eliminate excess oil consumption. Vehicle still has excessive oil consumption issue, as well as the low oil indicator failing to illuminate. Oil light indicator can cause excessive damage to the engine if the oil level is low, because it fails to warn the driver when the oil level is low, especially since this vehicle has an excessive oil consumption issue. There have been numerous complaints about this issue and honda has failed to recall vehicles for this issue.

When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. There is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again but honda refuses a recall although there have been numerous complaints about this issue.

I have had to change my rotors brakes and calipers 4 times since last august. I just changed the rotors and brakes for the 3rd about 3 months ago and they are grinding again. I went out for lunch and when I get back to work I hear a grinding. I get to work and look and its on the rotor. This is ridiculous, I do not know what else to do. Mind you in october on a road trip the caliper malfunctioned and I had to drive with the brake clamped down on the rotor. Cost me $850 to fix! This is ridiculous

In 2012 (25kmi - two year old vehicle) required brake pad replacement. 2015 (55k mi required replacement of rear brake pads, rotors. It was taken in for excessive heat and non-stop squeaking. Two months later, again, excessive heat (too hot to touch rim). Took back to repair shop and they had to replace calipers.

When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. There is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again. Grinding noises in an engine are bad, and could lead to catastrophic engine failure should the abrasive metallic parts (due to grinding when there is no oil in the actuator) becoming lodged. This engine failure could happen at any time, possibly in a highway lane. While my car engine has not yet seized, there are online reports of this happening. Currently, honda will only fix this issue under warranty. They also give the car owner a really hard time proving the issue, requiring the car be left at a dealership overnight to replicate the problem. A loaner vehicle is at your expense. If the car is not under warranty, this expensive repair bill is at your expense. If your car is under warranty and they are not able to replicate the noise, both the loaner car and diagnostic fee are at your expense. This greatly reduces the number of people willing and able to have this important safety issue fixed. Running engine components without oil should be a recall. It is clearly a safety issue that can cause other problems with your engine. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, it could lead to death.
