general problems of the 2008 Honda Accord

Unknown.

In 2008, I purchase a new Honda Accord v6 paid with financing $25,000. I purchase a brand new vehicle to not have to be bothered with someone else problems. When my car reached 100 thousand miles in the winter, I heard a loud knocking sound under the hood and I was loosing a lot of oil. I took my car to the dealer. My engine light was on and start blinking. The dealer pulled the dtc and the p0301 cold was present. A service bulletin 13-078 and case # 312-cv-01377-s1 told me that would be no cost to me because I was a class member. This was from a class action filing that 1. 5 million Honda were defective because of a manufacturer defect. I was told this would fix my $25,000 investment Honda I purchase and paid in full. Since then I went to the community Honda dealership in orland park illinois and on April 2019 the p0301 code was present again something new and the p0420 dtc. I paid again for tune up which the 1st cylinder was fouled out again the third time this year. The director of the service department name bob stated for this repair again would cost me $8,000 and smiled. I said I could not afford that repair and because now that the first repair which I was lead to believe was going to fix the effect and did not. I was sold a lemon and I need Honda to repurchase this vehicle and give me a brand new vehicle similar to the one I purchase for $25,000. The community Honda service director would not warranty my tune up because he said I need piston rings again. I then contacted Honda corporation and informed them of my issue with the vehicle I purchase with was a defect. Took two weeks for the regional director per dana Honda rep stated no more assistance will be given to this defective vehicle which is a manufacturer defect that I would not have purchase if I had known. I then had to go to pep boys to avoid blowing the engine and catching a fire for repa.

Vtc actuator car makes rattling noise at start-up and at other times.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he heard knocking coming from the engine without warning. The contact took the vehicle to crown Honda greensboro 3633 w wendover Ave, greensboro, nc 27407 (336) 790-9855 to have an oil consumption test performed on his vehicle. The vehicle was listed at 184,000 and after 1,000 miles he was informed that he used a quart and a half during the test. The dealer informed him that his vehicle had been out of warranty due to its mileage. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the same dealer to have another oil consumption test performed on the vehicle, the contact refused to have another test performed and informed the representative that he had pictures and documents regarding the original test that was performed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 177,000. Jo.

Engine oil over consumption with in 2000 miles. Cracking sound also.

Back in August I took my car to southeastern Honda dealer like I routinely do to have my oil changed. It was suggested by service rep to change my transmission fluid, which I did. On my way home from work one night my engine light started flashing and my car was driving like it is going to shut off. I took my car to the dealer and they hooked it up to a machine and said it was 2 of my spark plugs, it's a common problem with the Accords v6 so it's best to change all of plugs which I agreed too and this will solve the problem. On 2/7/13 I took my car to southeastern Honda for my routine oil change and again the service rep suggested my power steering fluid and brake fluid needed to be changed which I agreed too. On my way home the vsa, brake light and abs light came on in the car. As so as I was able to I took it back to southeastern Honda, the same service rep said they hook it up and it was the spark plugs which was change back in August and it should not be occurring because all the plugs were changed and it's a defect in the engine. He will speak with the good will Honda person because the car needs an engine. He called back a couple of days later and say it's the engine and I will be required to pay half for the engine. I left my car at the dealer for a week, paid a few dollars short of $3000. 00 dollars and my engine vsa, brake and abs lights is still coming on. I googled this problem and alot of the Hondas have this problem. I will like to know what is the status of this problem.
