1 Vehicle Shudder problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2020

The check engine light started to blink and the vsa came on as well. This happened after I pulled into our driveway thank goodness because the engine started to shake the car. We took the van in our local dealership and it had a p0302 code. Engine misfire. This was caused by oil getting into the spark plug. Piston and ring job was recommended. The 2012 Honda had a TSB 11-033 for this issue. We are being denied our claim. I am including a picture of our spark plug that shows where there was a lot of oil when it was fired upon along with talks I have had with Honda.

2 Vehicle Shudder problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2017

As my wife was driving down the highway the vehicle stopped accelerating fluctuating rpms and acceleration for rest of drive home. After getting home even in parking at idle when I turn on the air conditioning the vehicle vibrates. In park when I turn up the rpms it sputters after about 3k rpm. 100k miles.
