honda accord crosstour 2010 Complaints

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

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.

STRUCTURE

on sunday, november 28, 2010, upon opening the trunk, the rear cargo area cover dropped down and hit my forehead leaving a large bruised lump. today is tuesday, november 30, 2010 and i still have pain and headaches. the cover was completely unhooked with nothing holding it safely in place. there is no locking mechanism for the rear cargo area cover. it appears that the side hooks became unhooked (pressure fit only) and the "mounting pins' are as the fletcher honda service manager said, only for guidance and alignment. not to provide support or keep the rear cargo area cover in place. there is nothing to prevent the rear area cargo cover to not fall out and down. and when explaining to fletcher honda's service manager on monday, november 29, 2010 the problem and unhooking only one side hook, the cover fell down on that side first, then the other side hook unhooked and the entire cover rell down. the service manager says he has no ability to change designs, however, he said he will pass this information onto his honda rep. i was given a 1-800 number to call. today, november 30, i called and this information is to be given to a honda case manager within 1-2 business days. also - previous complaint was filed -- 10368291. i provided the wrong vin as i was looking at our buick's insurance card, not the honda crosstour. correct vin is supplied with this revised complaint.

ENGINE

excessive oil consumption observed with honda crosstour 2010. since the car was purchased new, the car consumed 1 quart of 0w20 engine oil per 2500 miles. this is a safety issue, since not all drivers pay close attention to engine oil level. driving with insufficient engine oil level could cause potential engine failure while driving. i have contacted american honda motor co. and log a case# to arrange a formal oil consumption test.

ENGINE

engine type 3.5 i vtec v6 - the engine light and traction control light came on. at the time i did not know that there was a class action suite on this problem and other honda vehicle's with this engine. i drove the rest of the way to work and called my dealer. i had it towed to a honda dealer near my work they told me that a had a engine miss fire on cylinder number one, they replaced the spark plug and did a engine software update. if this would happen again they would rebuild the upper end of the motor at there cost. they gave me a 8 year extension warranty until 2018, unlimited miles for this problem only. i was told by the mechanic that this fix works on the majority of the cars, but didn't feel that this one would be one that it works on... since it consumed two quarts of oil. i have driven this car for 3,500+ miles since the repair and it is running great. does anyone know the % of this fix working.
