2009 Honda Accord Fuel System Problems

WE ARE EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH MILEAGE UNDER 80,000 WITH OUR 2008/2009 HONDA ACCORD. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THERE HAS BEEN A SETTLEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON VEHICLES WITH A WARRANTEE. HONDA HAS GIVEN US A RUN AROUND ABOUT OUR COMPLAINTS SAYING THE OUR CAR IS OLD, SUGGESTING THEREFORE THAT WE NEED TO GET A NEWER MODEL, AND BY CALLING US BACK FOR TWO 1,000 MILE CHECKS AND NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS. MY WISE HUSBAND WENT ON LINE BECAUSE OF HIS SUSPICIONS OF THEIR ACTIONS AND LEARNED HE WAS CORRECT: THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THIS MODEL CAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH A SETTLEMENT EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE. HONDA IS REPORTED AS ISSUING TSB #11-033 IN JULY 2011. WE DID NOT RECEIVE THAT BULLETIN. WHY?

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD ONE NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED AND CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON SO I CALLED AAA. ONCE AAA ARRIVED, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY BATTERY. HE THEN SAID THIS BATTERY IS NOT ANY GOOD, I TOLD HIM I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT 6 MONTHS PRIOR FROM AAA . SO THE DRIVER REPLACED MY BATTERY FOR FREE. THIS WOULD BE MY 3RD BATTERY IN 1.5 YEARS. NEW PROBLEM, MY CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. NOT KNOWING THE PROBLEM, MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT MY FUEL FILTER HAD WENT BAD, THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY GAS. FIRST OF ALL, I HAD NEVER HEARD OF A FUEL FILTER GOING BAD ESPECIALLY WITH THE MILEAGE ON Y CAR. HONDA SERVICE STATES TO REPLACE THE FILTER AROUND 75,000. SINCE I WAS NO WHERE NEAR 75K WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. ANYWAY, I HAD THE FUEL FILTER REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SHOWING THERE WAS STILL A PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC THEN STATED THAT MY O2 SENSOR WENT BAD. SO, I REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. MY CAR IS TOO YOUNG FOR THIS MANY ISSUES. MY CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 60K BUT I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES, REPLACED THE BALL BEARINGS, O2 SENSOR AND GAS FILTER. I FIND OUT TODAY THE BRAND NEW TIRES I PURCHASED FROM HONDA ARE NOT ANY GOOD AND THE BELT INSIDE THE TIRES ARE ALMOST BROKEN IN TWO. THANKS HONDA, I USE TO LOVE YOU. *TR

STARTED FROM STOP AT LIGHT INTERSECTION AND ACCELERATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR AND NOW GOING STRAIGHT, FOUND CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. BEGAN HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE WITH CONTINUED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUING. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND RPM METER SHOWED ENGINE REVVING TOWARD 7000 RPM AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO DRIVE GEAR TO AVOID CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE STILL HEAVILY STEPPING ON BRAKE. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONTINUED IN DRIVE GEAR AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE SECONDS, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. ENGINE SUCCESSFULLY SHUT OFF AND I CONTINUED TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE AND STEERING THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER CAR CAME TO A STOP IN PARKING LOT, PUT THE GEAR BACK TO PARK MODE AND PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR IGNITION (I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT ALL SINCE REALIZING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED). CAR STARTED AS NORMAL WITH NORMAL IDLE SPEED IN PARK. DROVE THE CAR TO DEALER AND HAD DEALER CHECK FOR CODES AND TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. NOTHING ABNORMAL WAS FOUND DURING CODE READING AND TEST DRIVE. DEALER SAID THAT DRIVER SIDE RUG COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCELERATOR TO STICK BUT THIS IS NOT LIKELY CAUSE (IN MY OPINION) BECAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHOULD THEN HAVE STILL BEEN STUCK WHEN I RE-STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

I WENT TO INDEPENDENCE HONDA AND ASKED AS TO WHY BETWEEN MAINTENANCE, I WAS HAVING TO ADD OIL. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS NEEDED, AND HE WOULD DOCUMENT IT. COME TO FIND OUT, THEY WERE DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. INDEPENDENCE HONDA CLOSED AND IS NOW LEGENDS HONDA. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. GAVE ME A LOANER CAR. CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY CLAIM THEY ONLY PUT IN ABOUT A QUART PER 1000 MILES. REGARDLESS OF WHAT MY DIP STICK SHOWS. I WILL JUST NEED TO WATCH MY OIL. I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS REPLACED TWICE IN THE YEAR. HONDA CONTINUES TO ACTIVELY CONCEAL THE DEFECT FROM CONSUMERS AND DENY THERE'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. *JB

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS A RESULT OF A SPIDER WEB BUILD UP IN THE EVAP FUEL VENT BOX AND A SPRING WAS INSTALLED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *JS
