Problem Accord 2010 EX 2.4L 4cyl

2010 Honda Accord EX Sedan 2.4L 5A 12500 miles
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.

Problem 2009 Accord LX-P 4dr 4cyl

2009 Honda Accord LX-P Sedan 2.4L 5M
Engine makes whispering noise. Pulled over to find no oil on dipstick. Oil light never lit. Filled with 2. 5 quarts oil and went to dealer. Told there was a recall related to timing at start-up causing excessive oil consumption, but told that a quart of oil every thousand miles is normal. Dealer performed recall service and monitored oil several times at thousand mile intervals. Oil consumption about a quart each time and told it is normal. Vehicle went out of warranty and monitoring stopped. Vehicle now around 50k miles and oil consumption now much greater than 1 quart per thousand miles. I m… Read complete

Problem 2013 Honda Accord CVT

2013 Honda Accord Sport Sedan 2.4L CVT
While driving to chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change. Since it was a sunday i couldn't take it in. I couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change. On 7/16 i sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up. Brakes, electric steering, abs, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on. I called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although i heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel w… Read complete

2013 Honda Accord fix

2013 Honda Accord EX Coupe 2.4L 6M 3000 miles
Oil lamp indicator light began blinking and heard noise from the engine. The car was taken to the dealership and they did an oil consumption test and basically the engine is burning oil about 2 quarts are burning around 3000 miles and oil lap indicates oil change is not due for another 70 percent. I did the test many time and they are buying time. If i don't check oil and keep driving then the engine will burst. The dealer wont help me its a manufacture default vehicle and they keep says its normal. Its not normal for oil lap light to come on a brand new car and the oil change was not even due. Its a lemon and needs to be taken care of. *tr

2009 Accord 4cyl 5A problems

2009 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan 2.4L 5A 7000 miles
My car uses 1 qt oil weekly and makes a grinding noise when starting. Change oil every 7,000 miles and have to add 1 quart weekly. Vsa & oil lights stay on even after clearing the error codes. Replaced the cam shaft sensor which malfunctioned weeks later. Pearson honda & west broad honda, richmond va informed me there is no recall for this problem. Unbelievable after reading so many blogs about this issue from other honda owners. This model honda is a lemon and honda needs to repair at no charge to the owner. Replaced wheel bearing on front and now the rear is making a loud noise. Never had a honda with these many issues. Wanted to trade it for the 2013 and dealer offered me $6,700 for a car i paid $26,000 for. This is ridiculous! *tr

Problem Accord EX 4dr 2.4L

2009 Honda Accord EX Sedan 2.4L 5A 3000 miles
Driving on highway at 55 mpg noticed vibration coming from engine. Felt like engine mounts had failed. When i pulled into our home driveway it felt like i was driving a diesel powered car. I noticed oil light glowing. Checked oil level, nothing showed on dip stick. Under 3000 miles since last oil check. Took to dealer and complained. Checked for oil leaks-none. Flashed engine management with upgrade said service bulletin from honda should fix issue. Kept checking oil levels at each gas fill up. Noticed a quart of oil used around every thousand miles of mixed driving. By 50,000 that had dropped… Read complete

2010 Accord issues

2010 Honda Accord
The check engine light comes on and the car makes noise and driving is not smooth. When i continued to drive it to the dealer the vsa, and the wrench came on. They did a diagnostic and said it was a spark plug miss firing. I drove my car to georgia and the same thing happened while i was on the road and had to have it fixed there. Now it is doing the same thing one month later. I will be taking it to the dealer to have it checked. I found on the internet that their is a class action suit for the same thing. It is resolved when the put a new motor in the car. My car does not leak oil but reads that the oil is low. The oil light does not come on when this happens. I would like to have the car fixed but not continually at my expense. *tr
