NHTSA Complaint #10547819 — 2008 HONDA ACCORD

HELLO, I HAVE A 2008, V4 HONDA ACCORD. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS BACK OCTOBER 2012 WITH THE OIL. WHEN I GET AN OIL CHANGE, I WOULD NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DO. IT STARTED OFF WITH ADDING OIL THE VERY NEXT MONTH AFTER A NEW OIL CHANGE! THAT IS SO RIDICULOUS. THE ONLY WAY I WOULD KNOW THAT I NEEDED MORE OIL WAS THERE WOULD BE A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR AND A KNOCKING NOISE. MY OIL LIGHT INDICATOR WOULD NEVER LIGHT UP-WHICH IS ANOTHER MALFUNCTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA FOR SERVICING AND TOLD THEM WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING AND THAT IF IT PERSISTS TO BRING IT BACK IN. SO IMMEDIATELY I?M THINKING THAT MAYBE THEY ARE NOT CHANGING THE OIL CORRECTLY?! SO THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I KIND OF KEPT TRACK OF THE OIL AND TOOK MY CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR THE OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD 4 OIL CHANGES WITH THE OTHER PLACE AND THEY DID TELL ME THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A HONDA MALFUNCTION GOING ON BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO KEEP LOSING OIL WITHIN OIL CHANGES AND HAVING TO ADD OIL!! I AM GOING TO TAKE MY CAR IN AGAIN TO HONDA AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. I JUST DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THE CAR ENGINE BLOW UP ON ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HONDA SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED. IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS HAD ANY RESOLUTION TO THEIR HONDA PLACE, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX]THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
