I have been experiencing serious problems with my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. In 2013 there was a lawsuit against Honda due to an oil consumption and it stated ALL 2010 Honda Accord Crosstours and since a recall was never issued Honda denied fixing my car. After a lawsuit Honda should have been court appointed to fix everyone of the million cars with the defective engines!!!! The consumer shouldnt have to replace anything. My car completely shutdown) weeks ago while I was driving major safety issue don’t you think geez will it take people to die before they replace all these defective engines??? Oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and thats a defective problem per manufacturer!!!!!! You need to do an investigation on this because it’s the V-6 J35Z2 that they put in majority of there cars and it’s defective that should be against the law!!!!!!!!! I have had so many repairs on this Honda that shouldn’t have had to be done on a Honda. My last Honda had the engine before this defective one and it was great never had a problem. It’s nit the consumers fault so Honda should have to replace all those engines and it should be the lemon law if being sold after a lawsuit on them and they shouldn’t be abje to sell a defective engine knowingly!!!!! Someone need to step up for the consumer in this matter because warranty can’t even apply when it was defective before anyobe purchased the vehicle.!!!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING

Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, which has been facing recurrent misfires due to what appears to be a manufacturer-induced oil consumption defect in the engine design. Over the past 18 months, I have experienced extensive repairs on my Honda, surpassing any issues I have encountered with previous vehicles. Despite my diligent efforts In maintaining the car with regular tune-ups and oil changes , it is disheartening to witness fluids seeping into the engine, causing damage to multiple components. I have invested a significant amount of money into resolving these issues, expenses that should not have arisen with a Honda vehicle, given my positive experiences with the brand in the past. Upon contacting customer service and receiving a case number, I have found the assistance provided to be inadequate in addressing these issues severity of the situation. The recent revelation of a 2014 lawsuit further compounds my concerns, as it appears that Honda seeks to evade accountability for widespread engine malfunctions, leaving loyal customers like myself in a distressing predicament. Despite the substantial financial outlay exceeding $1200, my vehicle remains inoperable due to the unintended consequences of the oil leakage onto pistons, a situation exacerbated by the lack of proactive measures from Honda in rectifying this critical issue. I have meticulously preserved all documentation, including receipts detailing the damages incurred as a result of the oil consumption defect. While I acknowledge the complexities surrounding warranty coverage and ownership transfer, it is evident that the fundamental flaw lies in the initial design of the engine, which has compromised the vehicles performance and safety. Honda’s reluctance to acknowledge and address this inherent defect reflects poorly on their commitment to customer satisfaction and product This what I emailed to Honda.
