My 2003 has 254K mi. The oil was OVERFILLED so high that you couldnt get a reading on the dipstick! Ive added almost two quarts since my last oil change.

Same thing is going on with my car and I can not believe Honda is just looking the other way. Numerous check engine light and misfires within 8 months and dealership finally did the valve and ring job. To add insult to injury, there was nothing put into car fax regarding the work completed on the 2009. My paint is crap (from no fault of my own), VTC problems, high oil consumption, and $$$ Not much of a reliable car like they used to be. checked oil down 3 quarts! Due to the fact that the deadline for the class action suit has already ended, what do I do now if I missed it? I think Honda needs to step up to the plate and fix the problem. I missed out on the first eight years of free spark plugs buying it used for a fairer price, but all the free spark plugs in the world couldnt save me now. At &10,000 miles, I noticed black around the exhausts so I started checking oil at gas fill-ups. Well, it was not fine because there was barely any oil in the engine.

You really cant check the level on the dipstick enough. my 2008 ex has same problem at 76000 =/- miles; Failed the test, now their good faith offer was 60% of the cost to fix, my 40% = $813.00.

After talking to the Honda representative about getting me a new engine they said that they can replace the engine (do an engine short block) for $3,400. I just got it back from Honda and they said it was just a fouled spark plug. Waiting to see how it is when I get it back. had the same ratteling noise. I am normally more astute, but they got me at a weak moment, I figured this was just about the 2 little dings, and after all it was a HONDA CERTIFIED vehicle, which means NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS, AND they valued the car, in writing, at a number that did not reflect major body work. How do you file a claim? Drive till 19700 mi and see the oil drops to lower level of stick, they ask to come for test again at 20600 mi engine begins to vibrate, low engine oil. Time will tell. What a load of crap! I looked at invoice and they charged for 6 plugs plus oil change. Honda dealership said I had a fouled cylinder 3 spark plug. I had experienced at 43900 miles.
