18 month later, still nothing buy issues with this. Getting out of this POS and won't buy another Honda.

Don't buy a honda with VCM, especially a V6. I've been dealing with this for 18 months now. It's a crap engine. I originally was covered by a recall that was just a computer fix... now I only get codes on the 'non-affected' cylinders. Honda is just screwing me over. This was the first Honda I bought and it will be the last.

I have discovered that this WILL be an ongoing problem with this vehicle. The piston ring seals are failing allowing oil to build up on the spark plug. This causes the spark plug to overheat and the ceramic cracks causing misfires. This has happened 4 times now with greater frequency. Not knowing when it will happen makes this vehicle unreliable for any longer trips. It does have high mileage but has been well maintained, having JUST replaced the timing belt for the second time - was hoping to get another 2 years out of it at least.
