general problems of the 2010 Honda Accord - part 1

I have been experiencing serious problems with my 2010 Honda Accord crosstour. In 2013 there was a lawsuit against Honda due to an oil consumption and it stated all 2010 Honda Accord crosstours and since a recall was never issued Honda denied fixing my car. After a lawsuit Honda should have been court appointed to fix everyone of the million cars with the defective engines!!!! the consumer shouldnt have to replace anything. My car completely shutdown) weeks ago while I was driving major safety issue don’t you think geez will it take people to die before they replace all these defective engines??? oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and thats a defective problem per manufacturer!!!!!! you need to do an investigation on this because it’s the v-6 j35z2 that they put in majority of there cars and it’s defective that should be against the law!!!!!!!!! I have had so many repairs on this Honda that shouldn’t have had to be done on a Honda. My last Honda had the engine before this defective one and it was great never had a problem. It’s nit the consumers fault so Honda should have to replace all those engines and it should be the lemon law if being sold after a lawsuit on them and they shouldn’t be abje to sell a defective engine knowingly!!!!! someone need to step up for the consumer in this matter because warranty can’t even apply when it was defective before anyobe purchased the vehicle. !!!!!!!!! do something.

Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding my 2010 Honda Accord crosstour, which has been facing recurrent misfires due to what appears to be a manufacturer-induced oil consumption defect in the engine design. Over the past 18 months, I have experienced extensive repairs on my Honda, surpassing any issues I have encountered with previous vehicles. Despite my diligent efforts in maintaining the car with regular tune-ups and oil changes , it is disheartening to witness fluids seeping into the engine, causing damage to multiple components. I have invested a significant amount of money into resolving these issues, expenses that should not have arisen with a Honda vehicle, given my positive experiences with the brand in the past. Upon contacting customer service and receiving a case number, I have found the assistance provided to be inadequate in addressing these issues severity of the situation. The recent revelation of a 2014 lawsuit further compounds my concerns, as it appears that Honda seeks to evade accountability for widespread engine malfunctions, leaving loyal customers like myself in a distressing predicament. Despite the substantial financial outlay exceeding $1200, my vehicle remains inoperable due to the unintended consequences of the oil leakage onto pistons, a situation exacerbated by the lack of proactive measures from Honda in rectifying this critical issue. I have meticulously preserved all documentation, including receipts detailing the damages incurred as a result of the oil consumption defect. While I acknowledge the complexities surrounding warranty coverage and ownership transfer, it is evident that the fundamental flaw lies in the initial design of the engine, which has compromised the vehicles performance and safety. Honda’s reluctance to acknowledge and address this inherent defect reflects poorly on their commitment to customer satisfaction and product this what I emailed to Honda.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the engine harness coupler had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 151,000.

Vehicle caught on fire while parked. Firefighter stated that this was the “third or fourth” of the same make and model he has dealt with. A google search stated that this year make and model had recalls for fires in florida and other states. I had searched the VIN for recalls prior to this happening to ensure this vehicle was safe and there were no recalls associated with the VIN.

While backing out of my garage, my daughter observed flames coming out from the front center of the hood. I then put the car into park, and we got out of the car. I opened the hood, and observed smoke coming out of the alternator, and flames coming from the lower engine area. I then went into my garage to get my fire extinguisher, and put out the flames. I then phoned a towing service to transport my 2010 Honda Accord to the mobil station at 12 mile and farmington roads where I normally have my Honda serviced. I then telephoned my mechanic at the mobil station to let him know that the two truck would deliver my car to him shortly. My mechanic then recommended replacing the alternator and started, which I agreed to. The next repair was to replace the engine wiring in my Honda Accord, which did not repair the vehicle. After 8-9 days, could not repair my 2010 Honda Accord, on October 8, 2024 my neighbor and I visited suburban Honda in farmington hills, and were told to contact Honda America to open a case, which we did. After phoning 800-999-1009, and sharing the details of the engine compartment fire, an official Honda case [xxx] was opened to document the engine fire in my 2010 Honda Accord. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Have been advised the eco system is causing oil to leak out into the engine cause oil build-up and other issues.

Vehicle has 73k miles every 1000k miles its burning at least a quart of oil.

I have a 2010 Accord coupe I notice ac/heat vent problems and a leak in the coolant inside the passenger floor/console area. So I researched it and saw this manufacturer communication 10120775 says: in this service bulletin, Honda alerted dealerships that the driver’s side vent may produce a lower level of heat than what is coming from the front passenger’s vent. The most common cause is that the car’s heater core is partially clogged. When this happens, it can cause the heater's performance to fail. The company instructed dealerships that encounter this problem to flush the heater core to resolve it. No recall has been issued, but dealerships should know how to handle this problem. I will reach out to Honda dealerships in my area to see what happens.

I purchased a 2010 Honda last year. And the engine makes a loud noise. As well as burns through oil. I get an oil change. And at 80% I end up having to purchase 2 quarts and add more oil to the engine. That is not normal.

I had my oil changed last month on the 17th at plaza tire in malden missouri. . I check my oil frequently. I checked it the 15th of this month an it showed no oil on the dipstick an I couldn't believe it to be honest because no indicators popped up or nothing I don't understand how thats possible.

This past week I experienced a catastrophic malfunction with the vehicle, while driving it appeared to short circuit and shut down. It would not allow me to drive in any gear whatsoever. Upon taking it to a mechanic at jiffy lube he stated the incident is identical and experienced the same issues that Honda and the dept of transportation deemed a recall that could have ended in severe injury or death. That issue and recall being (see below) powertrain:auto transmission control module (tcm,pcm). You see the mechanic at jiffy lube referred me to this recall due to his analysis and diagnosis being the same. Whom stated that the VIN doesn't state a recall, but it being the exact same model, make, engine, year, and coupled with the fact that it has tcm and pcm catastrophic damage, I was subjected to and encountered. I request this matter be further researched and investigation conducted because 1. 5 million vehicles were effected and I'd feel more confident and place more faith in Honda upon investigation.

I purchased this car in June 2021 for my grandson as high school graduation gift and entrance in college. Driving at a speed of 55 the car tremble uncontrollably and cuts off. I was told that oil leak into the catalytic converters. I had to replace catalytic converters, clean piston, constantly changing spark plugs car misfires, had to replace air conditioner and most of the electrical. What is next. Honda settled a lawsuit March 2014 which this car was apart of it. I wish I would’ve know before I purchased this car. That class action lawsuit needs to be reopened.

105k miles, regular car maintenance, clean title (no previous accidents/other issues), no pending recalls. While driving the car at 55 mph on the highway, the engine somehow ignited and caught fire. Previous to this incident, there were no pending issues, which were confirmed by a recent inspection and minor repairs. I strongly believe this was a faulty Honda engine.

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.

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?.

The engine light came on. I took the car to penske Honda on may 17th 2017. I was told vcm2 misfire -fouled plugs, software update and replace rear rocker arm oil pressure switch. On March 26, 2018 the front rocker arm oil pressure switch was diagnosed as faulty as the engine light came on as I returned to the dealership. Two days later I returned to the dealership when the engine light came on again the same day I picked the car up on March 30th 2018. I will return again on Monday April 1 for the fouth time for the same issue. Each time the engine light came on while driving.

Bank 1 pressure switch /bank 2 pressure code p3400 /p3497 vps stuck off both banks. Check engine come on and eco will not work.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. The contact stated that every week, one quart of oil needed to be added to the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the vehicle consumed an abnormal amount of oil. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Accord. While operating the vehicle, the check engine sensor indicator suddenly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that no oil was present inside the engine although the oil gauge display indicated that the oil inside the engine was at 30 percent. The mechanic added oil to the engine and the failure was remedied. The local dealer (auto park Honda in cary, nc) was notified of the failure, but the manufacturer was not. The failure mileage was 151,692.

The vehicle will use about a quart of oil every 1500 miles. The number 3 cylinder plug will become fouled and case the engine to run rough and engine light flashes. This is under Honda TSB 11-033.

I noticed that between oil changes the engine light would come on. I would add oil on a regular basic. A few months ago the wrench light came on with the engine light. I added oil and had the light reset. Yesterday my wife called and said the engine was running really rough. When she got home I added oil but a few seconds after running it began to raise and lower the idle. It stayed high. I pulled the codes on an obd and it said misfire of spark plugs. I changed the spark plugs with no change. My neighbor pulled the codes again and found p3400, p3497 and p303. There is a service bulletin that says this issue is a computer issue and a oil pressure monitor problem covered by Honda. This issue was stationary and while moving at all speeds.

While driving vehicle, the engine caught on fire and the engine compartment burned up. The fire department had to put out the fire. . . On a city street.

Excessive oil consupmtion. After driving 4~5 miles. . It can't check "oil quantity" by oil stick.

In February 2016 - our 2010 Accord had repair procedure a completed to update pcm software referring to TSB 13-078 and replaced spark 1-4. Starting in March of 2016 our Accord started to excessively consume oil which we now know as (TSB #11-033). In December and March we replaced a bad pressure switch. In July we replaced both pressure switches again. Honda admits that the car is excessively consuming oil but will not fix the problem because the software is not providing the correct codes.

My car is burning 1. 6 quarts of oil every 1,600 miles; the low oil pressure sensor does not come one. The only reason I know it is low is due to a noise that it makes. Honda dealership says it is normal to burn 1. 2 quarts of oil every 1,200 miles. This is my fifth Honda and I have never had a car do this.
