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.

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, SHOULD EMERGENCY RESPONDERS NEED TO GAIN IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE CAR AND A PASSENGER WAS UNRESPONSIVE. THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED, WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR LOCK TO STAY ENGAGED EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE CAR USING THE REMOTE FOB AND USING THE POWER LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS TO MANUALLY FLIP THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK SWITCH. THIS IS THE SECOND POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR TO FAIL, AND MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 93,000 MILES ON IT. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR, AND DOORS THAT STAY LOCKED ARE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA CHARGES $298, PER ACTUATOR, MAKING COMPLETE REPAIR CLOSE TO $1,200. MY GUESS IS MOST PEOPLE WOULD CHOOSE TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUE RATHER THAN PAY THE HIGH REPAIR COST, BUT THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE, THE CAR IS IN FLAMES, AND THE DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I SPOKE WITH HONDA CORPORATE ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND THEY PROVIDED NO RESPONSE. THEY JUST SAID "WE DOCUMENT YOUR CALL." VERY FRUSTRATING.

POWER TRAIN
ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING SOUND ON COLD START, THEN DISAPPEARS. THIS ISSUE BEGAN AFTER MY PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE, PERFORMED BY HONDA. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE SOUND IS THE CAUSED BY THE VTC ACTUATOR. THE HONDA TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT DIAGNOSTIC, HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN A09-010 MARCH 17, 2016 01607 VERSION 4, TO INCLUDE 2008-2012 ACCORD ALL TRIMS AND VIN RANGES. I WAS INFORMED THAT ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE MEETS THOSE SPECIFICATIONS, MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, EVEN THOUGH MIN IS A PZEV 15-150K MILES POWER TRAIN VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE ISSUE AT 144,000 MILES AND IF I WANTED IT REPAIRED IT WOULD COST NEARLY $1900 PARTS AND LABOR.

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.

ENGINE
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 NHTSA 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.
