This is my first of 4 incidents were the car has had cylinders misfire.
The fact of the matter of having extended warranties does not cover the towing, the close calls driving in the NJ Turnpike and trailers just want to run you over when your car slows down. This issue is down right a slap on the face to all who used to love Honda vehicles, it is cheaper for me to bring it to my mechanic than to lose days and amount of hours at the dealerships and wait for them to tell me that the oil consumption is normal and that there is a laundry list of things the car needs when they have no clue on how to fix the problem.
The worst thing of all is that I own two vehicles that are on this black list Accord and Odyssey....my Wife had a close call with the kids and I had one with them as well................just put me out of my misery...If I had the money to through away as the Honda Corporation think we do, I would burn those 2 vehicles to the ground.
And Honda sees nothing wrong with it....Amazing!!!!!!

While driving on the freeway, check engine light turned on, then seconds later it starts flashing continously. The VSM light turn on. When the car came to a stop, its struggled to stay running while it idles. Acceleration was poor; like your running on 2-3 cyclinder.
Took it into a dealership for diagnostic; they said cyclinder number 3 missfired due to foul spark plug. My emission waranty last over 100K and the plugs were guarantee to last upto 100K. At 65K, I was covered. It was still a major inconvience since I work 30 miles away and this is my only car.

Almost home from work, and the car began to shudder and engine light began flashing. Called the dealership and convinced them to stay open for me until I could turn around and get the car to them. The diagnosed it as a Cylinder #3 misfire. They told me the car was running too lean, which was causing increased corrosion on the spark plugs - they updated the computer with a recent Honda release that allows a little more fuel to be injected, and replaced all the spark plugs.
Now I get bad gas mileage (Prior to repair I averaged 22 mpg with mostly stop and go driving) and now I barely get to 19 mpg on a tank. Very unhappy with this performance and am seriously considering selling early and getting a Nissan

Bought this 2009 Honda Accord 6 years ago in 2012 with 46,000 on it. I have had no issues until now. Now with 119,000 the car started to misfire. Check engine light came on. Dealer said over 4,000 bucks to fix the valves and replace all six fuel injectors. This is my 5th Honda. What the hell happened to the quality of Honda?
