What owners say

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 honda accord. While driving approximately 20 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle made a whining noise. The failure occurred each time the vehicle was due for an oil change. The noise stopped when the contact removed his foot from the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the vehicle was low on oil, which caused the timing chain to slip. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer advised the contact to have an oil consumption test completed. The oil consumption test had not been completed. The approximate failure mileage was 108,600.

Warranty extension notification: piston rings that stick together resulting in high motor oil consumption. And default notification in the air bag.

Vehicle factory radio changes stations on its own and unexpectedly. This happens when the vehicle is stopped or moving. Vehicle heavily consumes oil. It requires 1.5 - 2 quarts of oil be added between scheduled oil changes.

A design defect that enables oil to enter into engine'x combustion chamber. This leads to premature spark plug degradation and engine malfunction. Essentially, the engine is working much harder than it has to in normal driving conditions. Unfortunately, my daily commute does not consist of climbing through the beautiful rockie mountains, but fighting traffic on i94. Thus the oil consumption should be normal, and yet it's not!!

Wife was driving at highway speed when car began to violently shake as if engine was misfiring. Check engine light came on, then severely reduced power. She was barely able to exit and make it across the access road and into a turn lane with the accelerator to the floor. Car still shook violently as she placed it in park. Dealership cannot explain shaking. Car only has 4,700 miles and was purchased new from servicing dealer. They said oil was 1.5-2 quarts low so they topped it off. Tripped a code for a stuck solenoid in the camshaft timing system so they reprogrammed the PCM and gave the car back to us. This was an extremely dangerous situation as my wife did not have enough power to move the vehicle out of traffic. Had there been more traffic in her way or someone following closely, she would have been in an accident. Dealer was still puzzled as to the power loss and shaking and just shrugged their shoulders. They said to watch the oil level and if this happens again to bring it back. We hope this does not happen again as it was dangerous and stranded my wife on the side of an interstate for 3 hours waiting on a tow truck. Please let us know if this warrants investigation or you need any additional information.
