Transmission & drivetrain
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 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.
Brakes
My new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour has the same brake problem as the recalled 2007 odyssey. After stopping if you release the brake pedal and than lightly apply pressure to stop the car from rolling forward the pedal becomes spongy and starts to go down towards the floor. It goes down about 2 inches lower than a first application. I have had this reported to the dealer 3 times and they say their is no currant fix. Problem has continued since it was brand new. I traded my 07 odyssey in for this same problem.
Car steering wheel jerks and shakes when braking at 65 MPH due to brake rotors went bad at 23000 miles dealer resurfaced the rotors for free as one time goodwill jester problem came back after 3000 miles. It is a re-occurring problem where consumer has to replace rotors every few thousand miles.
