Engine oil consumption issue. The engine oil is burning way too fast and the engine makes a grinding noise. I took it to the dealer for several years and now that it is out of warranty they are saying its a oil consumption issue.

Takata recall, excessive oil consumption, vtc actuator loud grinding on start up cold or warm!!!!! Honda would not fix because I was 15,000 miles over their grace period. I asked for good will and a big company that Honda is sure won't go bankrupt fixing my car.... but the girl I talked to was some what rude to me and just asked if I wanted the better business beau phone number. Their needs to be a class action law suit for the replacement of the vtc actuator, because sooner or later I will have engine failure and Honda knows about the problem. I have read 90% of the 2008 4 cylinder Accord have the problem and some of the newer models have the same problem. And I have heard they will replace the part, and soon after it does it again!!!! defective part!!!! I hope I can get some help, because Honda knows about the problem and I cant afford a new engine when the timing chain goes and everything with it!!!! thank you.

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.

Defective vtc actuaftor. Honda & dealer knew by 2011 that the part was defective and defectively designed, and should have recalled it. Now, in spite of being "out of warranty, " they should replace or reimburse. I did replace and am seeking reimbursement, so far denied.

The vtc actuator needed to be replaced. The mechanic explained that it was not merely defective, but was a design defect, for which there had been recalls for other/later models years. I confirmed this with a google search. I was told that, were the part not replaced, the damage could be catastrophic. Cost - over $600. I complained to Honda of America, and sought reimbursement. They denied it, saying it was out of warranty. Car has about 88,000 miles and warranty was for 5 years and 30,000 miles. However, Honda of America representative said he would sue Honda if it were him. I should receive reimbursement, and there should be recall on this part.

Excessive engine oil consumption for the past three years. This is a known issue.

From reading online, it appears I'm one of many who have a vtc actuator issue. Honda service people never know what I'm talking about even though it's in a bulletin 09-010 from Honda. Engine has loud cough sound upon starting the car, after being off for 6 hours or so. This should be part of a recall & customers shouldn't be charged for this but that's obviously what they want to do to us.

I have noticed that my 2008 Honda Accord (vn [xxx]) has been consuming plenty of oil. After reading about the millions of complaints I decided to ask how can I get my car fixed by the local dealer. Two of my friends, personal and mechanics at the Honda dealer have said I should contact the corporate company and ask for the recall issue. I have also followed the instructions from the site (www.hondaproblems.com/trends/excessive-oil-consumption/). I hope this letter will help me with my favorite auto company. If you have any questions, please contact me at [xxx] or via email [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Car sporadically dying (electrically and all) while in drive or in motion of forward driving (while going 30 + mph) and then just as sporadically turning itself back on. Makes chain dragging sound similar to worn brake pads but the sound will change pitches while driving between 0-43mph. After 43 mph it no longer makes odd sounds but as soon as deceleration begins it is at risk to either temporarily "die' or slightly jerk and almost "die". this has happened while driving up to 20 times within 3 miles and the first time it "died" was while pulling into a parking spot and fully stopping. It has not done it for the last couple days and local mechanic could not diagnose it as the battery was in great condition and everything appeared to be plugged where it should be.
