NHTSA Complaint #10873972 — 2008 HONDA ACCORD

MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN USING OIL WAY BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THIS HAS ONLY OCCURRED THE LAST TWO CHANGES. THE CAR DOES NOT LEAK OR SMOKE. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING SPARK PLUG FOULING INDICATING UNUSUAL OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR HAS ONLY 59500 MILES AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE STARTING NOW. HONDA EXTENDED A RECALL UNTIL NOV. 2015, 8 YEARS PAST THE PURCHASE DATE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HADN'T BEGUN UNTIL NOW, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT MY PLUGS WILL FOUL. OTHER 2008 HONDA OWNERS HAD RINGS REPLACED AND OTHER ENGINE REMEDIES TO CORRECT THE PREMATURE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEW HONDAS, AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I FIRST SAW ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILEAGE I WAS NOT AFFECTED, UNTIL MY RECENT OIL CHANGE. I CERTAINLY DON'T BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD BE USING 2 OR MORE QUARTS IN LESS THAN 1000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AND MONITOR THE CONSUMPTION AND THEN HE SAID ONLY ABOUT 2 OUT A 100 HAVE BEEN WARRANTED. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND CHANGED THE OIL REGULARLY AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. HAD I HAD THIS PROBLEM ARISE A FEW MONTHS BACK, I MAY HAVE GOTTEN THIS TAKEN CARE OF. UNHAPPY HONDA CUSTOMER
