1 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2020

This 2008 Honda Accord constantly misses mostly from cylinder 1 and sometimes just spits oil out of the tailpipe. The misses happen at idle, and almost 100% when attempting to pass making it extremely unsafe. It has had many sensors replace, its timing belt replaced, all coils, and sparkplugs many times. The mechanic says the spark plugs are laser irridium and should last 100,000 miles but are lucky to last 10,000 miles. I am not sure what documents to include but am just getting this complaint started. I have the Accord at the mechanic today but it has been multiple repairs prior to this.

2 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2016

Terrible gas milage and massive oil burning. Took it into o'hare Honda who replaced 2 oil pressure switches after they updated the vcm software. I also had oil consumption monitoring done and was told my car doesn't burn enough oil. It was monitored to burn 9/10ths a quart for every 1000 miles and was told it needed to burn at least a full quart for every 1000 miles for Honda to offer an engine replacement. For the last 2 to 3 years I have been adding 2-3 quarts every oil change and I used to get 4000-6000 miles per oil change when I bought the car certified pre-owned (cpo). While under warranty I made claims to Honda and they would tell me I am using the wrong oil. The dealer valley Honda when I bought the car specifically told me that I needed to put the same quality oil into the car as the previous owner and According to their records the vehicle was only serviced by them and the only oil to put in the car was full synthetic 0w20 and that is all it has ever had. Please note oil changes every 4k to 6k miles at 80 dollars each seemed good, but now it's every 2k to 3k miles at the same price not to include the additional quarts at 10 dollars each costing me an additional 20 to 30 dollars each oil change and I am averaging 13 to 17 miles per gallon city/highway combined a far cry from the original 19 to 29 miles per gallon previously achieved as promised. All services done to the vehicle include: timing belt replaced, oil pressure switches replaced, fluid serviced and flushed; brakes, transmission, power steering, coolant system all of these were done on the same day, with a heavy bill of 1300 dollars. Timing was done because the engine oil consumption issue and because I was told the vehicle had over 100k miles and it was required. Currently I have 133k miles my 2008 Accord ex-l v6 navi.

4 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2010

Purchased my Accord new off the lot. 1st problem came exactly 1 month later 2 sensors had to be replaced. Oil light consistently stayed on I was having to change or add oil all the time. Ive been to every Honda dealer in san diego. Mission valley finally agreed to a oil consumption test but they assured me nothing was wrong. Their solution was anytime I needed oil I could stop by any Honda dealership & they would be happy to top it off for me. Because of this oil problem & the sensor consistently staying on the car began to lose power & shot out the timing belt. My car has been in my driveway since last july2015. After sending Honda numerous letters ron from Honda motor CO finally contacted me. Final result his recommendation was to take the car back to the dealership for another oil consumption test to be done & if theres any other problems I would have to pay out of pocket. Because the car was only covered for 60,000 miles. I'm so over this car & Honda. I no longer feel safe driving a Honda!.
