Vehicle is experiencing a problem with the egr valve which is clogged. The check engine light continues to keep flashing off/on since last summer. Dealer informed the owner that the egr valve needed to be changed. However, the vehicle was out of warranty. This problem has not been recalled, however, a product update has been imposed. This is directed to those vehicle which came with an 80,000 miles and 8 year warranty. This vehicle is less than 6 years old, but has 95,000 miles.

The "check engine" light came on within days after my 1999 Honda Accord ex V6 had 90K service at a Honda dealership, including a fuel induction service. The first trip back to the dealer resulted in the service department recording the code in their computer then turning the indicator lamp off in my Accord. The "check engine" lamp returned soon after leaving the dealership. On the 2nd visit, the dealership advised that the code indicated the egr valve was clogged. The service manager advised that Honda had extended the warranty for this problem but only for 8 years/80,000 miles. My car has 92K miles yet I was never advised of this known problem. The Honda dealership's own testing during the 90K service did not detect the emission problem and I see that many others with less mileage have experienced the same problem.

While the consumer was driving the maintenance needed and check engine lights illuminated, the dealer stated that the egr valve was clogged, consumer is concerned due to the fact that the vehicle passed 2 emissions tests in less than a 4 month period.
