Consumer Description
PURCHASED MY ACCORD NEW OFF THE LOT.1ST PROBLEM CAME EXACTLY 1 MONTH LATER 2 SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. OIL LIGHT CONSISTENTLY STAYED ON I WAS HAVING TO CHANGE OR ADD OIL ALL THE TIME. IVE BEEN TO EVERY HONDA DEALER IN SAN DIEGO. MISSION VALLEY FINALLY AGREED TO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEIR SOLUTION WAS ANYTIME I NEEDED OIL I COULD STOP BY ANY HONDA DEALERSHIP & THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO TOP IT OFF FOR ME. BECAUSE OF THIS OIL PROBLEM & THE SENSOR CONSISTENTLY STAYING ON THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER & SHOT OUT THE TIMING BELT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE LAST JULY2015. AFTER SENDING HONDA NUMEROUS LETTERS RON FROM HONDA MOTOR CO FINALLY CONTACTED ME. FINAL RESULT HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO BE DONE & IF THERES ANY OTHER PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ONLY COVERED FOR 60,000 MILES. I'M SO OVER THIS CAR & HONDA. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING A HONDA!
