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.

207 thoughts onHonda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
I just purchased a 2012 exl v6 w/nav 2 months ago. The dealer did not disclose this info to me. I thought I did my homework but no where did I see this lawsuit until after I purchased the car. It had only 8,800 miles on it and I only drive about 5,000 a year. I am worried that I will not have problems until after the 8 year drivetrain warranty is up. I am very pissed the dealer can get away with knowing of such a problem and not telling you. Only thing I can do is drive it and trade/ sell it after the warranty. This is my first and may very we’ll be my last Honda.

I have a 2010 Accord EX, 4-cyl, and had to learn about this as my car (bought at dealer 7 months ago Honda certified preowned) with 50K miles, started having oil light come on and funny noises and hesitations. Service tech said “oh, yeah that is an issue with that model”. So why didn’t the dealer tell me that when they sold it to me?? Anyone have suggestions as to plan of action? I sure hope there is a fix, and that my 100K warranty covers it all…Very disappointed as a long time Honda owner…
I have a Honda Accord 2008 and I have the same problem, burning too much oil
2008 Accord 4 cylinder EX-L
I have a 2008 Honda Accord V-6 EXL. I bought the car in 2010 with 43k miles on it. After having it two months spark plugs started going out, it was using excessive oil, and the engine was misfiring all the time. Honda replaced the spark plugs, for free, 3 times. Spark plugs at Honda are 30.00 a piece, and they were replacing them for free. Which was nice, but tells me they knew there was a problem and just didn’t want to mess with it. My car was certified and had an extended warranty. I went to them several times and they said it was a computer problem. They then updated my computer. Long story short they continued to put me off until I reached the 100k miles and the warranty was up, and said they couldn’t do anything at that point. I still have all the same issues. I can get my oil changed and within 2 weeks my car is 2 quarts low on oil easily. I am very happy about this class action and hope to hear something soon! We pay way too much for nice cars for them to have so many problems!
I don’t understand how this settlement only covers 6-cyl engines.
The case filed is Alex Soto,et al vs Honda Motor Co.
If you read the case filing, it clearly states that Alex Soto has a “4-Cylinder” 2008 Honda Accord.
My 4 cylinder is also doing this. They (Boch Honda Norwood Ma) just told me i have massive interior engine damage. They tell me it will cost $14000 dollars to fix but they will contact Honda and try and get me a break on the price because they didn’t notice the problem when it first happened. I see this happening to other people and i wonder if anyone can tell me how to get a class action suit started?

I have the same problem with my 2008 Honda Accord four cylinder
My 2008 Honda Accord EXL was burning oil at 30,000 miles. Had the misfiring problem, which cost me $481 to replace all sparkplugs at 37,000 mi. Dealership wanted me to do the consumption test, but I went to Pennzoil and it stopped burning oil. I now have 53.000 miles, and it does not use any oil!
