ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, OIL LIGHT FLICKERED, UPON INVESTIGATION NOTICED CAR HAD LOST 3 QUARTS OF OIL . I HAD NOTICED A MOMENTARY RATTLE UPON START UP OF ENGINE THAT WENT AWAY QUICKLY. HONDA STATED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE VTC ACTUATOR(O RINGS, HEAD GASKET, TIMING CHAIN, CYLINDER REPAIR) BEFORE THEY COULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. UPON RESEARCH WHICH INDICATES THE ACTUATOR IS AN ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY . HONDA DID NOT WANT TO SERVICE IT UNDER A RECALL NOTICE.

WE TOOK THE CAR IN ON 7-27-16 FOR THREE RECALLS, ONE WAS PERFORMED. AT THIS TIME WE ARE TOLD NO PASSENGERS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. WE WERE TOLD THE PARTS WILL BE IN 2-3 WEEKS, IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS. WE CANNOT GET ANY RESPONSE FROM ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA - CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY INFORMED THE NEXT UPDATE WILL NE IN LATE FALL 2016 - POSSIBLE THE END OF DECEMBER 2016. WE CANNOT SELL OR TRADE THIS CAR IN - WE PURCHASE BRAND NEW IN 2008. IT HAS BEEN WELL KEPT AND KNOW WE UNABLE TO USE AS INTENDED. WHO WANTS TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN ONLY TWO PERSONS IN THE CAR. THIS IS EMBARRASSING WE HAVE LEFT THE CAR PARKED MORE THAN USED. ONE OF THE RECALLS IS IF YOU SLAM THE DOORS WHEN ENGINE IS ON THE AIR BAGS CAN DEPLOY. THE OTHER IS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS IT MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO INJURY PERSONS IN CAR. THIS IS OUT 4TH HONDA - WE OWN A 2016 PILOT NOW, JUST TRADED A 2011 HONDA CRV. HAD A 2009 ACCORD WE TRADED FOR THE 2008 ACCORD WE HAVE NOW.

ENGINE
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE BEGAN A YEAR AGO. ON 8/15/2015, HONDA OFFERED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PISTON/VCT ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SAYS.."IF THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER FOR AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT INSEPECTED AND, IF NEEDED REPAIRED. PLEASE PLAN TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR TWO FULL DAYS TO ALLOW THEM FLEXIBILITY IN SCHEDULING." THIS QUOTE IS RIGHT FROM THE WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER AND HONDA WILL NOT HONOR THIS WARRANTY. WHAT THEY DO IS MAKE THE CAR HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IF THE CAR IS NOT BURNING MORE THAN A QUART IN 1000 MILES THEY SAY ITS NOT A PROBLEM. HONDA MALL OF GEORGIA CLAIMED MY CAR IS BURNING 3/4 OF A QUART THEREFORE THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. AROUND 7/1/2016, I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT GWINNETT PLACE HONDA. I AM 1000 MILES AWAY FROM HAVING MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND THE "GRINDING" NOISE HIT MY CAR AGAIN. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED AND WAS DOWN TO 2QUARTS OF OIL. I HAD TO ADD TWO QUARTS. BRINGING CAR IN TODAY 9/7/2016 TO START YET ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, YET WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANRTY!!!!! THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO GET NHTSA OFF OF ITS BACK YET WRITES UNWRITTEN RULES THAT PROTECTS THEM FROM FIXING THE ISSUE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS USELESS UNLESS THEY FIX THE ISSUE.

TAKATA INFLATOR: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE (16V-346) IN JULY 2016, AND AS IF SEPTEMBER 1, 2016, THE STATUS WAS "RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." IT IS UNFAIR THAT HONDA OWNERS MUST AVOID THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE FOR MONTHS, AND REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. MY FAMILY HAD TO TAKE A MUCH LESS FUEL-EFFICIENT VEHICLE ON TWO ALREADY-PLANNED TRIPS (EASTON, PA, TO ERIE, PA; EASTON, PA, TO OTTAWA, CANADA), AS OUR ONY OTHER CHOICE WAS FOR ONE SPOUSE TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT OF OUR HONDA ACCORD. WE ALSO HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A REMEDY FOR RECALL 16V-056, ANOTHER AIRBAG-RELATED ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL I KNOW A LOT OF CARS ARE AFFECTED BY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET MY AIRBAGS FIXED. I HAVE HAD PASSENGERS TO SIT IN THE BACK IN FEAR OF HAVING THEIR FACE MUTILATED BY MY AIR BAGS WHICH ARE THERE FOR SAFETY, NOT DANGER. RIDICULOUS.
