Consumer Description

MY CAR USES 1 QT OIL WEEKLY AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING. CHANGE OIL EVERY 7,000 MILES AND HAVE TO ADD 1 QUART WEEKLY. VSA & OIL LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER CLEARING THE ERROR CODES. REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WHICH MALFUNCTIONED WEEKS LATER. PEARSON HONDA & WEST BROAD HONDA, RICHMOND VA INFORMED ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. UNBELIEVABLE AFTER READING SO MANY BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS. THIS MODEL HONDA IS A LEMON AND HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. REPLACED WHEEL BEARING ON FRONT AND NOW THE REAR IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. NEVER HAD A HONDA WITH THESE MANY ISSUES. WANTED TO TRADE IT FOR THE 2013 AND DEALER OFFERED ME $6,700 FOR A CAR I PAID $26,000 FOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! *TR
