NHTSA complaint #10477983, filed 2012-09, 4,896 miles“Two weeks ago, I was driving at approximately 55 MPH, the car felt as if it were switching gears sluggishly. Then I noticed the engine light had come on. I took the vehicle to o'reilly's to investigate the engine light which was caused by a p3400 code/bank 1. I researched the code and purchased 2 quarts of the 0w20 synthetic oil. The light went out after driving approximately 10 miles. I then made an appointment for an oil change, however the dealership was closed for the memorial day holiday and rescheduled for tomorrow (3 days later). …”
NHTSA complaint #10721333, filed 2015-05, 79,000 miles“Excess oil consumption. First made aware by oil service technician when the car was just under 5 years old. Technician said they notice excess consumption at the previous change, but thought it was a fluke. Since then, Honda has had me recording mileage and oil levels. After nearly 8,000 miles I had enough evidence for them to do a software update....which did not fix the problem. One thousand miles after the most recent oil change, I had to add 1/2 quart. Now the local Honda repair shop says they are trying to convince Honda to do a good-will fix. Really? …”
