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.

i traded this vehicle in to AutoNation Acura South Bay in Torrance CA on 1/2/23 and purchased one of theirs. My 2010 Honda trade had 233,566 miles. They failed to forward my vehicle release to DMV and I began receiving parking tkts. I contacted the dealer. They said it was taken care of. I kept getting toll evasions. I contact the dealer again and requested they send me a copy of what they said was sent to DMV. When I reviewed the DMV registration report, I saw the odometer had been rolled back to read 105,266 . That is a difference of 128,300 miles. That is fraud and a extreme safety hazard to that buyer and other drivers.

I purchased this car in June 2021 for my grandson as high school graduation gift and entrance in college. Driving at a speed of 55 the car tremble uncontrollably and cuts off. I was told that oil leak into the catalytic converters. I had to replace catalytic converters, clean piston, constantly changing spark plugs car misfires, had to replace air conditioner and most of the electrical. What is next. Honda settled a lawsuit March 2014 which this car was apart of it. I wish I would’ve know before I purchased this car. That class action lawsuit needs to be reopened.
