THIS IS A 2009 VEHICLE AND I WAS NOTIFIED AUGUST 2015 OF A OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL BUT ASK THAT YOU HAVE 125,000 MILES OR LESS TO FIX HOWEVER WHEN YOU NOTIFY A CONSUMER 7 YEARS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SOLD NOT TO HAVE THAT MANY MILES I BELIEVE IT'S VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THIS THIS VEHICLE SINCE IVE OWNED IT AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT NOTED ON HOW MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE AND HONDA DEALERSHIP IS USING THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND ASK THAT I HAVE 3/4 OF A QUART OF OIL CONSUMPTION BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WHICH IS SO UNREALISTIC.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I ARRIVED BACK HOME, MY BOYFRIEND (THE DRIVER) PUT THE CAR IN PARK, GOT OUT OF MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, I CLOSED THE DOOR, AND BOOM! ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT IMMEDIATELY FRIGHTENED. THEY DID NOT INFLATE, THEY ONLY DROPPED. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA, OPENED A CLAIM, BROUGHT MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND OF COURSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT. THEY ARE BLAMING THE DEPLOYMENT ON AN ACCIDENT THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GOT INTO MANY YEARS AGO. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I TRIED CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN TO GET FURTHER EXPLANATION AND ANOTHER INSPECTION I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

FRIDAY, MARCH 25TH I ACCELERATED QUICKLY INTO A LEFT TURN FROM A DEAD STOP AT CHURCH STREET AND RT 20 IN NORTHBOROUGH, MA AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK IN THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE THROTTLE AND APPLIED BREAKS HEAVILY BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV, I REACHED DOWN TO TURN THE KEY AND KILL THE ENGINE BUT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CLUNKING NOISE AND THE THROTTLE RELEASED TO IDLE. A SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED TODAY AS I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY (190 SOUTH) AT THE 140 SOUTH INTERSECTION. THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE AND BOTH LANES WERE EMPTY SO I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF FRIDAY'S ISSUE WAS A FLUKE - THE THROTTLE STUCK AGAIN. I TAPPED THE BREAKS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO WATCH THE TACHOMETER REV UP TO 5,000 RPMS AND IT RELEASED ON ITS OWN. IN BOTH SITUATIONS THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON WAS ON BUT NOT ENGAGED.
