P0303 MISFIRE BURNING OIL CAUSING OIL LOSS AND MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1-3

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CAR BEGIN MISFIRING. HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO MISFIRE FOR A FEW MILES TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. GOT CAR TO REPAIR SHIP AND THEY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND ONE NO LONGER WORKED. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT. 4 MONTHS LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY SAME MISFIRE HAPPENED. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID THE O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. THEY TRIED TO GET HONDA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S THE SAME ISSUE THAT LED TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2011-2013 HONDA ODYSSEYS. IN THAT CASE THE "PISTON RINGS IN CERTAIN CYLINDERS MAY ROTATE AND ALIGN, LEADING TO ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SPARK PLUG FOULING." HONDA OF AMERICA SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN DRIVEN TO WALDORF HONDA (2450 CRAIN HWY, WALDORF, 20301). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. INITIALLY, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED, BUT LATER STATED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ECM IS RUNNING ROUGHLY

THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP AND ENGINE IS BURING OIL. DEALERSHIP CHECKED AFTER 500 MILES AND SAID IT IS BURNING OIL. TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING OIL LEVEL AND IF LOW TOP IT OFF TILL THE NEXT LIGHT COMES UP SO THAT THEY CAN GET DIAGNOSTOC CODE. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. THIS IS A NEW VAN AND PURCHASED NEW AND 2 YEARS BACK AND NOW HAS ONLY 31000 MILES.

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WHERE THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. AS I WAS SLOWING TO PARK THE CAR AT WORK WHEN I FELT THE CAR SURGE AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND FOUND THE CAR RACING AT 2000 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO FUMBLE FOR MY CELL PHONE AND GET A SHORT VIDEO OF THE RACING ENGINE. AS I WAS FILMING I MOVED MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE AND CAR CAME OUT OF THE RACING CONDITION AND SETTLED TO A NORMAL IDLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THEY IMPLIED THAT THEY WANTED THEIR REGIONAL PERSON TO EVALUATE THE CAR BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED SINCE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE BAR HARBOR, ME AREA, OUR ODYSSEY WAS BUCKING VIOLENTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS/GEARS. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT WAS WHEN WE WERE SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT/SIGNAL. IT HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS (1ST AND 2ND) ALL ON THE SAME DATE. I CALLED A DEALER IN THE LOCAL AREA AND WAS GOING TO TAKE IT IN THE NEXT DAY BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE WITH OUR DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HADN'T HEARD OF ANY SUCH ISSUES. WELL, AFTER FINDING THIS FORUM, I AM GLAD TO KNOW I DIDN'T IMAGINE ALL OF THIS! *TR

1. I BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY AROUND NEW YEAR WITH KEYLESS IGNITION. 2. WITH THIS CAR I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE CAR STILL IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THEN I CAN OPEN THE DOORS AND WALK AWAY. AS IS THE NORM, NOTHING OBLIGES ME TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR CAN BEGIN TO ROLL, ENDANGERING OCCUPANTS, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER CARS. 3. THIS IS A BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'VE ALREADY ROLLED TWICE AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND MY BOYS OPENING THE SIDE DOORS. 4. EVERY CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN FOR 40+ YEARS, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT FIRST SHIFTING TO PARK. 5. I'VE OWNED NEW HONDAS FOR 20+ YEARS. FROM TIME TO TIME I WOULD GET RECALL NOTICES ABOUT CARS ROLLING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. THE SITUATION NEVER APPLIED TO ME BUT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE - WORTHY OF A GENERAL RECALL. *TR
