NHTSA Complaint #11258189 — 2008 HONDA ACCORD

IN 2008, I PURCHASE A NEW HONDA ACCORD V6 PAID WITH FINANCING $25,000. I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE TO BE BOTHERED WITH SOMEONE ELSE PROBLEMS. WHEN MY CAR REACHED 100 THOUSAND MILES IN THE WINTER, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD AND I WAS LOOSING A LOT OF OIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND START BLINKING. THE DEALER PULLED THE DTC AND THE P0301 COLD WAS PRESENT. A SERVICE BULLETIN 13-078 AND CASE # 312-CV-01377-S1 TOLD ME THAT WOULD BE NO COST TO ME BECAUSE I WAS A CLASS MEMBER. THIS WAS FROM A CLASS ACTION FILING THAT 1.5 MILLION HONDA WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD FIX MY $25,000 INVESTMENT HONDA I PURCHASE AND PAID IN FULL. SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE COMMUNITY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLAND PARK ILLINOIS AND ON APRIL 2019 THE P0301 CODE WAS PRESENT AGAIN SOMETHING NEW AND THE P0420 DTC. I PAID AGAIN FOR TUNE UP WHICH THE 1ST CYLINDER WAS FOULED OUT AGAIN THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR. THE DIRECTOR OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NAME BOB STATED FOR THIS REPAIR AGAIN WOULD COST ME $8,000 AND SMILED. I SAID I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT REPAIR AND BECAUSE NOW THAT THE FIRST REPAIR WHICH I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE WAS GOING TO FIX THE EFFECT AND DID NOT. I WAS SOLD A LEMON AND I NEED HONDA TO REPURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND GIVE ME A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SIMILAR TO THE ONE I PURCHASE FOR $25,000. THE COMMUNITY HONDA SERVICE DIRECTOR WOULD NOT WARRANTY MY TUNE UP BECAUSE HE SAID I NEED PISTON RINGS AGAIN. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION AND INFORMED THEM OF MY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE I PURCHASE WITH WAS A DEFECT. TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR PER DANA HONDA REP STATED NO MORE ASSISTANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WHICH IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASE IF I HAD KNOWN. I THEN HAD TO GO TO PEP BOYS TO AVOID BLOWING THE ENGINE AND CATCHING A FIRE FOR REPA
