NHTSA Complaint #10523338 — 2009 HONDA ACCORD

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE V6 ENGINE THAT HAS VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT). I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THE PROBLEM AT HAND BUT, THE CAR IS CONSUMING FAR MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. FROM THE CONSUMING OF THE OIL IT IS ALSO CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL. THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT WAS FILED SOMETIME IN 2012. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ FROM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, HONDA EITHER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLS SOME COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, TELLS PEOPLE THEIR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, IS TOLD THEY NEED TO RUN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OIL, OR LIKE MYSELF WAS TOLD THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THESE ENGINES TO CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. ITS SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES OR VALVE SEALS SEALING OFF COMPLETELY. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM YET HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR
