ENGINE | 12/21/2018 - EXETER, NH
HAD TO REPLACE THREE IGNITION COILS WITHIN ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. THEN, ONE OF THE ONES HAD BEEN REPLACED (#1 CYLINDER), DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. MECH TECH INFORMED/SHOWED ME THAT PLUG HAD FOULED - DUE TO POSSIBLE PISTON RING PROBLEM. LEARNED FROM CARS.COM THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH PISTON RINGS OF 2008 - 2012 ACCORDS AND HONDA HAD OFFERED A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY TO CORRECT THEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY HONDA OF THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION, ERGO I MISSED THE EIGHT YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE FROM THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE-IN-SERVICE DATE DEADLINE (CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE 2010). TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WOULD COST MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AT 888-327-4236. REFERENCE TSB NO. 13-078. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE AT ALL? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO?

TAKATA RECALL..I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND VSA LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON BUSY I95 WITH MY INFANT IN THE CAR NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AFRAID AND I CALL HONDA IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK IT TO HONDA IN DE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE ROAD I RETURNED TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL WHICH WAS STRANGE BECAUSE I ONLY GET OIL CHANGES FROM HONDA, THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO HONDA AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE AND IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND THE COST WOULD BE $3500. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A FEW HONDA OWNERS AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE OIL LEAKING AND ENGINE AND BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY

THE CAR BURNS A LOT OF ENGINE OIL. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, NO ISSUES BUT ITS BURNING SO QUICKLY THAT I HAVE TO PUT 1 LITER OF OIL EVERY 2000-3000 MILES. THE MECHANICS SAY ITS A FACTORY ISSUE AS ALMOST EVERY CAR OF 8TH GENERATION DO THAT.
