Honda Motor Co. has reached a class action settlement over claims that some of its vehicles excessively burned oil, causing engine misfiring and premature spark plug degradation. If you purchased a 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2008-2013 Honda Odyssey, 2009-2013 Honda Pilot, 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour or 2012 Honda Crosstour equipped with a 6-cylinder engine with Variable Cylinder Management (“VCM-2”), you could be eligible to receive compensation for repairs or a warranty extension.
The Honda engine misfire settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit (Soto, et al. v. Honda Motor Co. Inc.) alleging that Honda manufactured more than 1.5 million defective vehicles that excessively burned oil.
Honda has denied the allegations in the class action lawsuit. The parties agree that there are no safety concerns with the vehicles named in the litigation. Honda agreed to the class action settlement in order to avoid the costs of a trial. The proposed class action settlement was preliminarily approved by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston on Oct. 9, 2013.
To receive full compensation for your vehicle repairs, Class Members must submit a valid Claim Form with a copy of an original repair invoice or receipt plus proof of payments for repairs or replacement of parts on a Settlement Class Vehicle by April 10, 2014. Class Members do not need to take any action to obtain the warranty extension, which will cover repairs for the affected vehicles within eight years of the original purchase or lease date of the vehicle, with no mileage limitation.

I’m having the same problems with my 2009 honda odyssey. In oct 2018 had po301 code og miss fire cost $700 and tonight its happing again. Because i bought the van second hand it was out of the warranty time frame. So, as long as I keep the van I will have to replace every year? Doesn’t seem fair.
Vehicle was hesitating to accelerate, would actually slow down when the accelerator was pressed, the emissions light was flashing the entire time. When it was restarted, it produced a white smoke and after a short while, began behaving the exact same way all over again.
I purchased my 2011 Honda Pilot in Feb.2019 and was not aware of this issue after i have taken my car in for $2000 worth of work that was done, May 2019 before the warranty ran out Aug.2019 . What can be done now? Who do I hold at fault for this issue
I have the same problem on my 2012 Honda Odyssey. At first we got error code P0301, cylinder one misfire, car running rough engine hesitating. We brought it to the dealership, they diagnosed the condition as cylinder one misfire, agreed that we were candidates for the extended warranty repair which included at first software update and then we were advised to drive the vehicle to determine if there was further failure of the piston rings. We experience error codes again with noticeable smoke being admitted out of the exhaust tailpipe. The dealership then performed the second part of the mandatory repair replacing the piston rings. We have subsequently suffered a front catalytic converter failure error code P0430 as a result of the problem which caused the failure of the spark plugs. It would appear that the excessive oil leakage into the cylinders not only caused the failure of the spark plugs, but has now caused permanent damage to the catalytic converters as well.
I have recently had the same problem with a p430 code after having the warrenty work done. Did Honda cover the cost of the repair for the cat?
I’m having the code for cylinder 1 and I had to replace all of my catalytic converters is there anything that it can be done? I barely bought the van about 1 or 2 years ago it’s a 2009 Honda odyssey
I am having same problem with 2011 Honday Odyssey. I was not original owner. Is there anything that can be done?
You can have it fixed at the dealer, we have also been having problems, we’ve already put around $400 into ours last month, same thing happened last night then I found all of this saying it was still under warranty
I am having the same problem with my 2011 Honda Pilot. I replaced the spark plugs because there was a p30? code. My cylnder number 3 was fouled. Replaced the plugs with OEM and still getting a misfire when I am above 70 mph on highway.
Bought 09 accord 2 years ago. Told salesman to fix the problem with check engine light and vsa light. I think they just reset code. Been dealing with this and tired of throwing money in this car. Found tablet in glove box. Original owner had same problem since 2014.
The deadline for this has already passed by 5 years however i purchased this car from dealership almost 2 years ago. Now my pilot is experiencing same problems as described…. what can i do i do now?
I have a 2011 pilot . I’m having problems with misfire just replaced spark plugs and reset for 600.00. I have had this vehicle for 4.5 years never knew anything about this lawsuit . Is there anyway to get compensation ? I don’t really feel tight trying to sell car outright know the potential of what’s about to go wrong .
I have 16 Honda pilot misfire number 1 I replaced spark plugs oem steel had that problem misfire number 1
I’m having all of the same problems described with the cylinder misfire and fouled spark plugs, but my Pilot is a 2008. According to the bulletin this is not covered? I don’t understand how that is fair if it is a known problem. My mechanic told me eventually the engine will need to be replaced! Has anyone else had the same problem with an 08 Pilot?
i have the same problem
Same one on my 2011. Cylinder 3
I’m having that issue now
