IN REGARDS TO HONDA SAFETY RECALL JN9. WARRANTY EXTENSION: STICKING PISTONS RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA. STARTING BACK IN DECEMBER 28 2015. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THAT LASTED 3,000 MILES ON THE ROAD AND HAD ME COME IN EVERY 1000 MILES OF THOSE 3K MILES. EVERY OIL CONSUMPTION EVALUATION AT THE DESIGNED MARK IS BURNING THROUGH 1.2 QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THEY CLAIM THAT IS STANDARD FOR THE CAR TO BURN THAT MUCH OIL. MY OLD 2003 V8 GMC YUKON DOES NOT BURN ANY OIL AT ALL. JUT LAST WEEK ON JULY 19TH 2016 MY OIL ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY (DEALER) TOP ME OFF WITH ANOTHER 1.2 QT OF OIL OFF THE RECORDS. NO SERVICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. I DO NOT BELIEVE A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE SHOULD USE THAT MUCH OIL UNLESS INDEED THE PISTON RINGS ARE STICKING.. PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ON 07/18/2016 INFORMING ME OF THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA TO ARRANGE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I CALLED ON 07/19/16 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY REPORT WAS RECEIVED AND THEY WOULD PROVIDE ALTERNATE TRANSPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON 07/21/2016 AND FOUND OUT THAT A CASE WAS NEVER OPENED FOR ME AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF MY CONTACT ON 07/19. ANOTHER CASE WAS SUPPOSEDLY OPENED, AND I FOLLOWED UP AGAIN ON 07/22/16, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT AGAIN, MY CASE WAS NEVER CREATED. I AM DRIVING A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT. ONLY ON MY THIRD ATTEMPT WAS A CASE OPENED, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD A RESPONSE SINCE. HONDA IS NOT ALLOCATING APPROPRIATE RESOURCES TO THE RECALL TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE TRANSPORT TO CONSUMERS AT RISK.

SERVICE BRAKES
LAST WEEK I HEARD A RUBBING/SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. TODAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS AND HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER REPLACED, NEW BRAKE PADS AND NEW ROTORS. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS GARAGE KEPT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS AS MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES ON IT. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET BY THIS.

POWER WINDOW REAR RT - WON'T CLOSE. THE MOTOR GETS VERY HOT. VERY UNSAFE, HAD MY MECHANIC DISCONNECT THE MOTOR. THE WINDOW STARTED OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION & WOULDN'T CLOSE. WHEN ENGINE IS ON, THE MOTOR IS ON ALL THE TIME AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHEN KEY IS ON POSITIIN.I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS HAD TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE MELTED MOLDING ONLY ON THAT ONE WINDOW. RARELY OPEN THIS WINDOW THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD 2009 ABOUT A YEAR BACK. I REALLY LOVE THE CARE. I AM RELIGIOUS ABOUT OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND RUN SYNTHETICS TO INSURE THE BEST ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND LIFE. MY PREVIOUS OWNER CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS ALSO ALWAYS DOING THE SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. WHAT I NOTICED AFTER ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF BUYING MY CAR WAS THAT A FUNNY RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM MY CAR. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY SAW THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIKE COME ON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY GO OFF MOSTLY AT STOPS. MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE SOON, SO I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF THAT. YES, SURE AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THAT RATTLING AND GRINDING SOUND WAS GONE. SO I FELT RELAXED NOT FOR LONG THOUGH AS AFTER ABOUT 45 DAYS GAIN THE RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISE STARTED COMING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE OIL SIGN ON AND OFF. I DID A FEW CHECKS AND WHEN I PULLED THE DIP STICK AFTER KEEPING THE CAR STATIONARY OVERNIGHT, I WAS SURPRISED THAT I HAD NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. I HAVE NOW ADDED SOME OIL TO BRING IT TO THE LEVEL BUT I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED. THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM STILL PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS OR SO, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. I FIGURE RELIABLE AND TROUBLE FREE WITH EXCELLENT LONG LASTING ENGINES. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND HONDA ACCORD OIL DEFECT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT I NEVER GOT THE LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION. I AM PLANNING TO START WORKING ON IT AND GET IT RESOLVED. MY BIGGEST BATTLE WILL BE THAT THE LAWSUIT COVERS THE V6 VEHICLES BUT I HAVE V4. TRULY DISAPPOINTING, I JUST HOPE I GET SATISFACTION. BTW I AM ALSO THE OWNER OF HONDA PILOT 2008, AND NO COMPLAINTS SO FAR AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THAT CAR. I HOPE THIS THING GETS RESOLVED.

RECENTLY, MY CAR STARTED CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. TO FIX THAT,DEALERSHIP ADVISED TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS FOR BETTER RESULT. AFTER WE HAVE NEW PISTON RINGS, IN A MONTH AND SO ENGINE IS MAKING GRINDING NOISE WHILE STARTING. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WASN'T HAPPENED DUE TO PISTON RINGS REPLACEMENT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOW DEALERSHIP CAN CHARGE US UP TO $700 FOR NEW PART .

AFTER PULLING INTO A SHOPPING AREA PARKING LOT, WITH THE CAR STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE OFF, THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPEN TRAPPING US IN THE CAR IN THE SUNLIGHT OF A 90 DEGREE DAY, PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK ACTUATOR TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BY USING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON FAILS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEREBY PREVENTING THE OCCUPANTS FROM GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAS SUBJECTED MY WIFE AND I TO BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IN RAPIDLY RISING HEAT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES UNTIL AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON THE DOORS UNLOCK. THE CAR IS NOT CAPABLE OF STARTING DURING THIS TIME. THIS FRIGHTENING CIRCUMSTANCE HAS NOW HAPPENED A FEW TIMES - NOT COMFORTABLE FOR TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR SEVENTIES.

THIS IS A 2009 VEHICLE AND I WAS NOTIFIED AUGUST 2015 OF A OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL BUT ASK THAT YOU HAVE 125,000 MILES OR LESS TO FIX HOWEVER WHEN YOU NOTIFY A CONSUMER 7 YEARS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SOLD NOT TO HAVE THAT MANY MILES I BELIEVE IT'S VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THIS THIS VEHICLE SINCE IVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT NOTED ON HOW MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE AND HONDA DEALERSHIP IS USING THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND ASK THAT I HAVE 3/4 OF A QUART OF OIL CONSUMPTION BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WHICH IS SO UNREALISTIC.
