problem #1

Dec 022015

Accord LX 2.4L

  • Manual transmission
  • 212,242 miles

Since December of 2015 I had to replace the engine in my car not once but FOUR times. The car originally has 212,XXX miles on it and as read in multiple threads & forums I knew it was only a matter of time before I encountered the dreaded oil burning problem. Every engine I replaced it with had anywhere from 50k - 80k miles on the new engine but no matter what the same issue occurs over and over again no matter what and in the process has cost me a lot of money and inconvenience having to withdraw from college multiple times due to this issue. The spark plugs, wires, and new oil was replaced with every engine and within two months the oil burning problem come back. Starts with the oil light flashing (meaning the oil level is low) then having to replace the oil pressure switch (again) to not being able to drive the car due to blowing a piston or engine seizure. I highly recommend if you have this car to get rid of it ASAP! I spent well over $8k in repairs with nothing but four bad engines to show for it. And every time I take it to the dealer they play stupid and claim to have never heard of this issue and that I'm the first one to come forward with this complaint. I been looking into trying to contact someone to see if I can file a lawsuit against Honda if anyone knows of one let me know please and thank you.
