Consumer Description

NOTICED MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. CALLED HONDA TECH AND THEY TOLD ME TO BASICALLY GET RID OF THE CAR. WHEN LOW ON OIL ALOT IT CONTROLS THE TENSIONER FOR THE TIMING CHAIN. WELL NOW OUR 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX 2.4 IS PRETTY MUCH BLOWN AND WONT STAY RUNNING. WE CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE CAR STALLS AND ON HIGHWAY OR TURNING INTO TRAFFIC WE COULD GET HIT. ALL PEOPLE HAVE STATED HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SOMETHING IS UP IF TONS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WANT HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND COMPENSATE US SOMETHING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO NOTICE OIL CONSUMPTION LOOK FOR IT TO START TRIPPING SENSORS DUE TO TIMING ISSUES IT CAUSES TO GO WRONG. I DROVE TO NORTH CAROLINA LAST YEAR AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN CHECKED IT THE OIL WAS ALMOST BONE DRY. NOW COME ON. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING SO IT IS A DEFECT CHANGE OVER YEAR FOR HONDA AND THEY NEED TO HONOR THEIR PRODUCT! JUST BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FIRE OR DAMAGES OR PERSONAL INJURY DOES NOT MEAN THERE WILL NOT BE IF PEOPLE DRIVE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. *TR
