Consumer Description
This issue is related to Honda TSB issued for faulty VTC actuator . My car makes a loud grinding sound when started from cold everyday. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10087883-2280.pdf I sent a email to Honda support on June 8th 2021, asking if this issue will cause catastrophic engine failure while driving (case id : 12274491) and can cause serious bodily injury? I never received a response. I sent a followup email on June 17th 2021 and still no response. My only worry is that this issue is so much widespread that all Accords manufactured between 2008 - 2012 are affected. Serious quality control issue. What if my car suddenly stops in the middle of a busy highway..what if Engine completely seized, break apart, due to damage happening over the period of time? I believe that Honda understand all these issues and not willing to respond over email, to avoid legal liability. With this complain i would like NHTSA to get a official statement from Honda on seriousness of this issue and if its a safety issue (if not fixed), it should fall under Recall.
