NHTSA Complaint #11278693 — 2014 HONDA ACCORD

PURCHASED 2014 ACCORD 5 YEARS AGO, AND MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I CALLED TO GET MY CAR SERVICE SINCE MY OIL LIFE SAID I WAS AT 30%. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. OF COURSE, WHEN I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER I REACHED 1K MILES FROM MY OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID I MAY NEED TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS OR GET A NEW ENGINE. I FIND IT SURPRISING FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. HONDA MUST BE LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FAILING THE EMISSIONS TEST AS THEIR CARS ARE BURNING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS; IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CARS (HENCE THE RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS) AND SEEMS LIKE IT CONTINUES TO BE PROBLEM FOR THE NEWER CARS. KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE GONE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR ALL OF MY SERVICES AND KEPT UP TO DATE WITH MAINTENANCE; AND I WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD LOW OIL IN THESE FIVE YEARS.
