ON A ROAD TRIP TO MASS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND CAR RUNS POORLY. STOP AT THE NEAREST HONDA, GARBER HONDA IN ROCHESTER, NY. FIRST MADE AWARE OF RECALL. GARBER SAYS REPAIR IS MADE AND IS COVERED UNDER RECALL PROGRAM. I WAS ADVISED TO RETURN IF PROBLEM COMES BACK AND TOLD I HAD UNLIMITED MILES TO DO SO. CAR CONTINUES TO CONSUME OIL. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THE CONSUMPTION WAS PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE NUMBER 2 CYLINDER. 26 OCTOBER - 9 NOVEMBER 2018 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS TO BLINK AND CAR RUNS POORLY. ON THE ROAD I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA, LIA HONDA OF WILLIAMSVILLE, NY. NUMBER 2 PLUG FOULED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND I HAD TO BRING IN ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO QUALIFY FOR A 'GOOD WILL' REPAIR. I FAX AND CALLED NORTHTOWN BUT RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO DEALERSHIP BUYOUT. I PAID TO HAVE SPARK PLUG REPLACED. I SPENT 3 WEEKS EXCHANGING EMAILS WITH ADRIAN BONSEY AT LIA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IN MY FINAL FOLLOW UP HE MENTIONS HE HAD CLEARED THE EXCHANGE OF EMAILS FROM HIS SYSTEM. I GO ONLINE AND RESEARCH THE ISSUE DISCOVERING THE WARRANTY CAMPAIGN LETTER, A LETTER I HAD NEVER BEEN GIVEN BEFORE.I AM UNABLE TO GET MY EMISSIONS DONE FOR THE STATE OF NY DUE TO A NEARLY ALWAYS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CONSUME 2 - 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND FOUL OUT A PLUG EVERY FEW MONTHS. I THINK HONDA OWES ME A REPAIR SINCE THE PREVIOUS REPAIR DID NOT RESOLVE THE KNOWN ISSUE.

DURING A COLD START, AND CAR IS STATIONARYTHE ENGINE RATTLES FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I HAVE FOUND OUT PER THE DEALER, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE VTC ACTUATOR. APPARENTLY THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CLAIMS THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR AT A COST OF AROUND 900.00 DOLLARS.HOWEVER THEY CLAIM THAT THIS MAY NOT EVEN CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT ANNOUNCED A SO CALLED RECALL KNOWING THAT THIS RECALL WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS STRICTLY TO COVER THEIR LIABILITY. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS. HONDA CORPORATION WAS ALWAYS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND STILL CONTINUED TO SELL THIS PARTICULAR MODEL TO CONSUMERS.

I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A ROUGH SPUTTERING SOUND AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPENED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDRESSED IT FOR FREE. THE SECOND TIME I PAID A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE PISTON(S) REPLACED AND HAVE IT CLEANED OUT. ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AT THE DEALER SAID THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THAT WAS 3-4 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IN THE APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED 2 ALTERNATORS AND AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS CAR PREMATURELY BURNS OFF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. IT IS POOR OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS TRYING TO TOP OFF THE OIL REGULARLY IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED THIS. PLEASE HAVE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL
