The car is equipped with the V6 engine that has vcm (variable cylinder management). I have read several different reasons for the problem at hand but, the car is consuming far more oil than it should. From the consuming of the oil it is also causing spark plugs to foul. There are tons of forums online with people that have the same complaint as well as a class action law suit that was filed sometime in 2012. From everything I have read from researching the problem, Honda either denies there is a problem with the vehicle, supposedly installs some computer upgrade that doesn't fix the problem, tells people their engine needs to be rebuilt, is told they need to run a different type of oil, or like myself was told that it is completely normal for these engines to consume 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles driven. Its seems as though there is a problem with the valves or valve seals sealing off completely. It is a well known problem yet Honda is not doing anything to remedy the problem.

Drivers side window motor has stopped working not allowing window to roll up/down. The dealer is attempting to say it is the after market tinting. I have had the same tinting on all four windows since a few days after I purchased the car, but driver's side is the only window that the motor will no longer work.

A 2009 Honda Accord headlight flicker when ac or heather fan turns on.

- Pasco, WA, USA

My wife and I bought a 2009 Honda Accord from john hinderer Honda. Every 27-30 seconds the headlights flash when running anything like defrost or A/C unit. She has been experiencing road rage harassment as people believe she is flashing them at night while driving home from medical assisting school in worthington, Ohio. We took to dealer they tested it inside as well as two other vehicles they had of same year and saw that all vehicles had same problem. They say it is normal to save gas.doesnt seem the savings are worth the risks to me. Dealership seems to be slow in responding to this and Honda Corp refuses to run a campaign until enough people call or report it. I also don't feel its safe to basically be driving a strobe light.
