2010 Honda Accord Engine

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. *TR

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.

CAR CONSUMES OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT WILL TAKE 2-3 QUARTS OF MOTOR OIL BETWEEN SERVICING. FOUND NO OIL LEAK. OIL LEVELS CAN DROP REALLY LOW AND OIL LIGHT INDICATOR DOES NOT TURN ON. VEHICLE HAS A GRINDING NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS ON A COLD START. VEHICLE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED/PROGRAMMED PREVIOUSLY BY HONDA TO ELIMINATE EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE STILL HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE LOW OIL INDICATOR FAILING TO ILLUMINATE. OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE IF THE OIL LEVEL IS LOW, BECAUSE IT FAILS TO WARN THE DRIVER WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS LOW, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HONDA HAS FAILED TO RECALL VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AFTER COLD START.

HIGH CONSUMPTION OF OIL. THIS PROBLEM IS ADDITIONAL TO THE COLD START PROBLEM NOISE. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE TO 125,000 MILES. I AM GOING TOMORROW TO GET MY CAR SERVICED. I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS TO THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.

VTC ACTUATOR FAILURE ON COLD STARTS NUMEROUS TIMES.

IN FEBRUARY 2016 - OUR 2010 ACCORD HAD REPAIR PROCEDURE A COMPLETED TO UPDATE PCM SOFTWARE REFERRING TO TSB 13-078 AND REPLACED SPARK 1-4. STARTING IN MARCH OF 2016 OUR ACCORD STARTED TO EXCESSIVELY CONSUME OIL WHICH WE NOW KNOW AS (TSB #11-033).IN DECEMBER AND MARCH WE REPLACED A BAD PRESSURE SWITCH. IN JULY WE REPLACED BOTH PRESSURE SWITCHES AGAIN. HONDA ADMITS THAT THE CAR IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMING OIL BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE IS NOT PROVIDING THE CORRECT CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN UNKNOWN SOUND WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE NOISE WAS HEARD CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTONS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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

CONSUMES A QUART EVERY 150 MILES HAH TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS TWICE

MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR A P0420 CODE AT 110K MILES. FOR SOMEONE THAT KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT CARS, A CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS SOON. AS I READ NUMEROUS FORUMS AND ARTICLES ONLINE, MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 8TH GENERATION ACCORD, YET HONDA HAS NOT BEEN TOLD TO ISSUE A RECALL. OBVIOUSLY THESE CONVERTERS WERE POORLY MADE AND IT IS GOING TO COST NEARLY 1000$ TO FIX THIS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN OCTOBER 2009. IT IS A 2010 MODEL. IT HAS BURNED OIL EXCESSIVELY SINCE THE VERY FIRST TIME I DROVE IT. IT HAS CONTINUED TO BURN OIL AND MISFIRE UNDER ACCELERATION. CURRENTLY IT BURNS ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND NOISE WHEN STARTING AT TIMES.

I AM HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT LEAST 3 QUARTS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. THIS PAST FEBRUARY IT STARTED MISSING AND I HAD A LOSS OF POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED FOUR FOULED SPARK PLUGS AND SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RINGS IN THE ENGINE, IN TOTAL I WILL HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I AM GETTING VERY TIRED OF TAKING IT IN SO THEY CAN TELL ME THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. WITH THE LOSS OF POWER I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINE FAILING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS CAR UNSAFE BECAUSE IT COULD FAIL AT ANYTIME AND LEAVE ME STRANDED OR WORSE IT COULD FAIL WHEN I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY.

SINCE OIL CHANGE IN APRIL 2016, NEEDED TO ADD 3 1/3 QTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN 4K MILES. NO OIL IS DRIPPING FROM CAR; NO INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWING OIL LOW. TOOK TO GET DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. CURRENTLY GETTING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH HONDA SO THAT WE CAN GET EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I AM WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT ANY RECALL ON THE VTC ACTUATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MY CAR IS NOW MAKING THAT NOISE AT START UP. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS

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.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING ENGINE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO 120K MILES DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION, ATTEMPTED TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AT LOCAL DEALER (MISTLIN HONDA, MODESTO CA.) WAS DENIED BY SERVICE WRITER DUE TO NOT HAVING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, I ASKED WHY WOULD AN ENGINE LIGHT GO ON IF I KEEP TOPPING OFF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (1-2 QUARTS) HE STATED UNFORTUNATELY HE COULDN'T SERVICE IT WITH OUT A LIGHT BEING ON. TO MY UNDERSTANDING I DON'T SEE HOW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ACTIVATED IF ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, UNLESS THE ENGINE HAS GOTTEN DAMAGED DUE TO NOT HAVING ANY OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PISTON RINGS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. ..UPDATED 02/24/15*BF UPDATED 9/15/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR AT A COLD START, YOU HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE SOUNDS FOR 2 OR 5 SECONDS. THERE IS A TSB 09-010 REGARDING A VTC ACTUATOR THAT DRAINS OF OIL AND IS NOT PROPERLY LUBED WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE COLD, CAUSING THE GRINDING NOISE UNTIL OIL REACHES THE PART AGAIN BUT HONDA REFUSES A RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, CAUSING PLUGS TO FOUL AND DAMAGING COIL PACKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

OIL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT THAT POINT. MY CAR WASNT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WAS HEARING THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE WHEN I WOULD START DRIVING THE CAR. I CHECKED OIL AND IT SHOWED NO OIL. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND IS STILL OCCURING TO THIS DAY 2015. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING IS WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM HONDA AND I AM JUST ABOUT CLOSE TO THE 125,00 MILEAGE THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO. IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE CONTACTING ME ABOUT THIS YEARS LATER.
