Honda refuses to make the court ordered repairs for excessive oil consumption which has caused my catalytic converters to fail as well as my spark plugs repeatedly I have taken to the dealership multiple time and all I get is the run around instead of fixing the problem which they are well aware of
2010 Honda Accord engine complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 128, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2010 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to issue with unusually high engine oil consumption. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle needed oil added inbetween oil changes.
Excessive oil consumption, the car is burning 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. The accord oil change guide per the owners manual is an oil change every 7000 miles. I was driving the car with no oil on the dipstick which is a danger of full engine failure on the road. Honda tested the vehicle and has evidence of the excessive oil consumption. They settled a class action lawsuit agreeing to extend the engine warranty and perform repairs. The dealer stated that v6 engines are not covered in the the technical bulletin issued by honda. I clearly see v6 as being impacted and listed in the class action lawsuit. The dealer instructed me to contact corporate which is my next step.
Excessive oil consumption at 111, 000 miles. Dipstick reads empty after 4 months and 7,000 miles.
Since december, 2016 the engine has been using excessive oil. I have regularly scheduled oil changes every 5,000 miles (synthetic). On 7/13/17 the oil was changed but I was told that the engine oil was very low. It was changed again on 12/21/17 with less than 4,000 miles since the last change. Again the check engine light was on. This problem is definitely getting worse.
My vehicle engine RPM's raises as much as 500 to 700 more than idle, when moving at slow speeds of 10 MPH or stopped. Had it checked by sunny king honda in oxford alabama, they said it could be the PCM which is under recall for this type of vehicle for ones made prior to sept 2010. My vehicle was made in december 2010. This happens all the time and cause the vehicle to speed up when moving at slow or stopped speed. Just wondering if this had been reported by anyone else. Also vehicle makes a loud noise when you crank it up. It has done this since I got the car back in august 2017
Excessive oil consupmtion. After driving 4~5 miles.. It can't check "oil quantity" by oil stick
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.
My 2010 honda accord ex is burning oil excessively. I am required to add about 2 quarts of oil in between oil changes up to 5 times. There is an extended warranty recall add for this problem but the dealership says my car does not qualify. The extended warranty recall states that 2010 honda accord's qualify, but they will not replace the piston rings.
Car acts like it doesn't want to take off, then stalling while driving, it sometimes starts to jerking. When pressing the accelerator it doesn't want to accelerate. I sometimes pull over to turn the car off to see if it would do better if I restart it, but then it starts acting like it doesn't want to crank back up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. While driving 25 MPH, the contact heard a loud sound from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact smelled a burning odor, but there was no smoke or fire. The fire department was not contacted. The vehicle was towed to bronx honda (2541 e tremont ave, bronx, ny 10461) where it was diagnosed that the engine was leaking oil internally due to a gasket failure, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they could not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. While operating the vehicle, the check engine sensor indicator suddenly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that no oil was present inside the engine although the oil gauge display indicated that the oil inside the engine was at 30 percent. The mechanic added oil to the engine and the failure was remedied. The local dealer (auto park honda in cary, nc) was notified of the failure, but the manufacturer was not. The failure mileage was 151,692.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda accord. While coming to a stop or applying the accelerator pedal after a complete stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate and stalled. The battery and oil warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle immediately after the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact researched the failure online and found the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v004000 (electrical system), but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
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.
Accord v6 with variable cylinder management (vcm). At exactly 65,000 miles, in expressway rush hour traffic, immediate catastrophic power loss and check engine light comes on. Tow to honda dealer. Dealer receipt shows code p3400 found and dealer replaced rear oil pressure sensor. Car owner suggests that an oil change might be in order due to event. Once home, owner finds oil overfilled. This vehicle is part of class action engine misfire settlement. Dealer did not report any other error codes, that is, those that are covered under the settlement. American honda has declined the owner's request to have the engine performance reviewed with the vehicle owner and an american honda regional service manager present.
Excessive oil consumption with early replacement of spark plugs in 2010 honda accord v6. All spark plugs were replaced around 65k miles due to an "computer issue" according to my local honda dealership. I was informed at the time that the warranty had been extended to cover the computer issue not an oil consumption issue. Was also informed the issue was fixed. The oil is now changed every 3k miles (which differs from recommendations from honda to change the oil according to the maintenance minder varying between 4k and 5k miles) and having to add .5 to a full quart of oil every thousand miles. There have been no oil stains where I park on a regular basis, leading to believe it is not leaking but burning or being consumed. The check engine light has come on multiple times and usually pulls the code that a cylinder is misfiring. The oil light never comes on even when the oil barley reads on the dip stick. This has been an issue for over 2 years.
Car stalled in middle of road with engine light on. Upon checking mechanic found that there was hardly any oil left. Low oil light didn't light up as it should. This was very strange as I maintain my vehicle real well with regular oil changes etc. Upon researching online it seems honda cars consuming oil is top issue reported by consumers, check this forum... Http://www.hondaproblems.com/trends/excessive-oil-consumption/ there was a class action lawsuit and honda agreed to fix issue via software upgrade, please refer to technical service bulletin (tsb #11-033) in july of 2011 that acknowledged the problem. However, only certain v6 models were covered and v4 etc. Were not covered apart from other models. There is no doubt in my mind, I being an engineer, that this is same issue that honda needs to expand it investigation to and recall/fix it. This is an extremely dangerous problem and we are blessed that our vehicle didn't stall on freeway, even though it stalled on surface street during commute hours and we were lucky to be not hit. I request the federal safety agency to review this issue immediately in interest of public safety and take appropriate action. I have also notified honda USA of this issue. Awaiting a response.
Burns excessive oil. Engine shuddered. Flashed PCM changed plugs, oil consumption test. Said fixed. It is not.
Excessive oil consumption, 5 quarts used in 6,000 miles.
The engine developed a loud knock during use. The knock was very loud when the car was idling. It is a v6 and had 104k miles. Honda diagnosed the problem as the front camshaft lobe for cylinder 6 had significant wear and the camshaft had to be replaced. They would not accept responsibility by admitting the part was defective. The only way 1 lobe could deteriorate that much was if it had not been heat treated in the manufacturing process
While driving vehicle, the engine caught on fire and the engine compartment burned up. The fire department had to put out the fire...on a city street.
My accord has only 89000 miles and engine is burning engine oil almost 1 quart every 3 weeks. I have always took good care and change oil as soon as maintenance required(oil change) light comes on.
Engine light does not go off I lose oil
I called honda customer to report a problem due to constant check engine lights and to get my car checked with a recall notice . They told me I will charged to see whether my is eligible for the recall notice and told my check engine problem cannot be checked out since my mfg warranty expired since it is only good for 6 yrs from the year of manufactured date and not the sold date . I bought my car 2011 so my warranty is still valid , but for whatever reason they are going by mfg date and sold date.
My car is burning 1.6 quarts of oil every 1,600 miles; the low oil pressure sensor does not come one. The only reason I know it is low is due to a noise that it makes. Honda dealership says it is normal to burn 1.2 quarts of oil every 1,200 miles. This is my fifth honda and I have never had a car do this.
My 2010 v4 honda accord is burning excessive amounts of oil. After doing the oil consumption test though honda, they determined that my engine burned 2.5 quarts of oil in approximately 5,100 miles. I believe that the amount is actually greater because they said that as long as it does not consume 1 quart per 1,000 miles that this is normal and they will not fix it. I know they have settled a class-action suit for the v6 model, but chose not to include the v4 models that have the same problem! How can it be normal to burn through more than half of the total amount of motor oil in between oil changes? I now have a car that has an engine that has not been properly lubricated for I am not sure how long because I purchased it used. I may be having to replace my engine before I am even half way through my loan.
I took my car into the dealership, honda cars of columbia, for the air bag recall which was repaired. I informed them of excessive oil consumption and of error codes that appeared. They informed me that there was nothing they could do without engine light on. I called honda cars of america and after getting the run around, they told me that my vehicle was not covered under their campaign for excessive oil consumption and under engine misfire if the light came on again to take car to dealership and they would replace spark plugs 1-4 and update software. I have a v6. The car uses 2-4 qts between oil changes. All I'm asking for is to replace all spark plugs and update software. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Engine makes rattling sound that lasts 1-2 seconds when starting engine after overnight idling. Sound of metal-metal rubbing each other. Sound goes away after a few seconds. Complaint similar to one found online where many people complained of same issue and pin-point problem to the vtc (variable timing control) actuator.
My motor begins to grind when I turn over the motor for about two seconds..and my motor is burning oil I have to add 2-3 quarts every oil change
