2010 Honda CR-V Engine

SUDDEN ACCELERATION, while foot on the brake. This caused us to have an accident hitting cemented poles in front of a store. Our CRV was badly smashed in the front, making it undriveable. There was three of in the vehicle getting jolted and jerked. I believe this problem needs to be looked into, before someone else is hurt.

Sudden and unexpected engine failure due to (also) sudden oil over-consumption (beginning only weeks prior), documented by Honda in Bulletin 12-089. Total engine failure resulted. Trauma surgeon almost killed in accident (only saved because he knows how to handle a dead engine mid-traffic). Honda has noted that the Bulletin covered only up to 125K miles or 8 years. We were at 114K miles, but Honda has refused to further investigate--despite this sudden and catastrophic failure--because the car is greater than 8 years old. It is my husband's professional opinion that the car/engine be recalled, and that the Bulletin should in fact be a recall.

MY CRV was at 127,829 miles I took it in to the dealership and told the service advisor the CRV was making a clicking sound CRV was slow to accelerate on entrance to a highway the engine light would come on at a stop light momentarily the CRV dashboard read 70 percent used oil. The dealership said the CRV was down 2 quarts of oil and did an oil change. The last oil change was done at 125,474 miles the CRV was not making any noise after that oil change. The car is definitely burning oil because it had only been 2355 miles since the last oil change was done.

BOUGHT FROM HONDA DEALER AND IT BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUES SERVICE BULLETIN 12-089. I HAVE DONE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH THEM AND THEY AGREE THAT IS THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT CORRECT. I FEEL THEY MISLEAD ME DURING THE PURCHASE AND THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE CRV OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $3000 TO TO CORRECT THE KNOW ISSUE. HONDA USA REFUSES TO CORRECT ALSO. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL.

THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT WAS EXTENDED FOR "STICKING PISTON RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION" WAS NOT A PROBLEM YET DURING THE 125,000 MILE MARK. A FEW MONTHS LATER OUR 2010 HONDA CRV STARTED NEEDING MUCH MORE OIL. EVER SINCE WE'VE NEEDED TO ADD OIL AT EVERY FUEL TANK FILL UP. PLEASE PUSH HONDA TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO TAKE CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. OUR CRV NOW HAS JUST OVER 180,000 MILES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME WITH THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO QUARTS OF OIL NEEDED TO BE ADDED EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ATAMIAN HONDA LOCATED AT (150 MAIN ST, TEWKSBURY, MA 01876) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 8 YEARS OR 80,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,350.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION REPORTED TO DEALER WHEN MILEAGE WAS APPRX 60K DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL APROX 1 QT IN 1,000MI. IT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. I AM NOW BURNING MUCH MORE NOW @ 92,9255K I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED BY HONDA BECAUSE THIS IS MOTOR DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. NEED TO ADD 1 PLUS QUARTS OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES. OIL INDICATION LIGHT DOES NOT APPEAR WHEN THERE IS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. THIS FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN AT AROUND 100,000 MILES (8/2017) AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. MUST CONSTANTLY CHECK AND ADD OIL TO ENGINE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE ALWAYS USED TOP-TIER GASOLINE AND I AM ALSO A VERY GENTLE DRIVE.

MY 2010 HONDA CR-V IS BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL. ENGINE OIL RUNS VERY LOW CAUSING POOR ACCELERATION. OIL NEEDS TO BE ADDED WEEKLY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ENGINE OIL SHOULD NOT BE BURNING THIS QUICKLY. CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG.

FOR AT LEAST 50,000 MILES, MY 2010 CRV SEEMED TO BE BURNING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IN ABOUT 2000 MILE INTO THE OIL CHANGE, I'D NOTICE MY OIL LIGHT COME ON OR HEAR SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. THEN, I'F CHECK THE OIL AND IT WAS A QUARTER LOW. BUT, THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE GROUND ANYWHERE I PARKED. SO IT WAS NOT LEAKING OIL. I KEPT THINKING IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. I KEPT LOOKING FOR RECALLS TO ENSURE THERE WAS NO ISSUE. I BOUGHT A FIXD APP AND NEVER SAW AN ISSUE POP UP FOR OIL.

HESITATION ON HOT DAYS: FROM A STANDSTILL ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC ON A HOT DAY CAN BE DANGEROUS. THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN ACCELERATES AT A RATE FAR SLOWER THAN NORMAL EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS, WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. THIS HAPPENS DAILY ON HOT DAYS.

VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING OR COUGHING SOUND AT START-UP. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN BOUGHT USED IN 2012. NOW AT ABOUT 98000 MILES. START-UP NOISE HAPPENS EVERY TIME CAR STARTS. ENGINE TURNS OVER, BUT TAKES A LONG TIME TO ACTUALLY START. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WON'T START, BUT IT DOES EACH TIME. I CALLED HONDA, THEY SAID NOISE DID NOT AFFECT ENGINE OPERATION, SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I AM FEARFUL OF ENGINE DAMAGE OR FAILURE TO START, EVENTUALLY.

MY 2010 HONDA CRV HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE DEALER FINDS IT CONSUMES 1 QUART PER 1500 MILES. BECAUSE OF THIS IT DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR REPAIR UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON DESPITE BEING CRITICALLY LOW ON OIL. I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TWICE NOW AND ALSO APPEALED THROUGH HONDA. BECAUSE I AM NOT BURNING 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES THEY WILL NOT DO THE REPAIR. THEY ADMIT IT'S BURNING TOO MUCH OIL BUT NOT ENOUGH TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT HONDA OIL LIGHTS "JUST DON'T WORK". MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAS SAID THE RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE. I AM NOW CHECKING MY OIL WEEKLY AND SPENDING A LOT OF EXTRA MONEY PURCHASING OIL TO ADD ON MY OWN. I HAVE FOUND THE ENTIRE PROCESS THROUGH HONDA EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I CALL AND SEND EMAILS AND DO NOT GET A RESPONSE. AFTER I FILED THE APPEAL AND WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT AGREE TO DO THE REPAIR I ASKED WHAT MY NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. HE SUGGESTED I DO A THIRD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. HE SAID HE HAD THE FINAL SAY AS THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF MY APPEAL AND HE REFUSED TO HELP ME.

MY CAR HAS MADE A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE FOR FOUR YEARS ON A COLD STARTUP. THIS IS IN WARM OR COLD WEATHER, BUT ONLY IF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR 6 HOURS OR LONGER. AFTER HAVING THIS DIAGNOSED AND FIXED TWICE BY MECHANICS (THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNED), MY HONDA DEALER TOLD ME TODAY THAT IT IS THE VPC ACTUATOR. UPON SEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND IT IS A WELL KNOWN, DEFECTIVE PART FOR MANY HONDA ACCORDS AND CR-VS AND THAT IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS HAS NOT EVER BEEN COMMUNICATED TO ME AND THAT FIXING IT WILL COST ME $1,000 SINCE HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART.

I HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE PISTONS WERE REPLACED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA AT APPROXIMATELY 117000 MILES. I DROVE THE VEHICHLE AND THE OIL LITE CAME ON; STOPPED AT A REPAIR STATION AND HAD TO ADD 2 QTS OIL. WENT TO HONDA AGAIN TO START OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (WHICH THEY SAY LOSING A QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ''NORMAL' WHICH I SO DISAGREE WITH. THE ENGINE LITE CAME ON, TOOK TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THE CATALYC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (WITH ONLY 120000 MILES NOW). I FOUND OTHER SITES/BLOGS THAT SHOW OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH CAT CONVERTER/OIL CONSUMPTION. I BELIEE THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE FAILURE OF THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER/EMMISSIONS PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER/MYSELF SHOUDL NOT HAVE PAY THIS EXORBAINATE REPAIR COST (OVER $2600 PER HONDA DEALER). I HAVE 2007 CRV WITH APPROX 145000 MILES AND HAVE HAD NO OIL CONSUMPTION OR CATALYIC CONVERTER ISSUE WHICH CONCERNS ME AS I WAS LOOKING TO TRADE IN THE 2007 AND PASS THE 2010 CRV TO MY DAUGHTER AND ACQUIRE A NEW HONDA. BUT, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A NEWERE CRV (2010) HAS SUCH MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT IT IS NOT A QUALITY CAR TO PASS ON TO MY DAUGHTR TO DRIVE AND I AM NOT SURE IF I GET ANOTHER HONDA IF I WILL HAE DEFECTS AND EXCESSIVE OUT OF POCKET COSTS. I WANTED MY HONDA'S TO LAST WITH MINIMUM REPAIRS THAT ARE EXORBINET COSTS.

2010 HONDA CRV HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM LEADING TO AN ENGINE STALL ON 9/28/17 WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30MPH ON A CITY STREET. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OF AN OIL LEVEL PROBLEM UNTIL THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT. THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE CAR 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND WAS ROUTINELY CHANGED APPROX. EVERY 4K MILES.. THE VEHICLE HAD ALSO BEEN HAVING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING UP COLD EACH DAY. THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM. THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING HAS NOW ALSO CAUSED AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM (CATALYTIC CONVERTER) AND THE CAR WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS INCLUDING LITIGATION PERTAINING TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL ISSUE AND THE VTC ACTUATOR DEFECT. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER VEHICLE CRASHES/INJURIES/FATALITIES INVOLVING THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES ARE CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLS OR LOSS OR POWER AND FURTHERMORE IF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS THE CAUSE. IF THE VTC ACTUATOR IS CAUSING OR CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. ALSO, DOES EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING INCREASE THE RISK OF ENGINE FIRES IN THESE VEHICLES? IS EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING CAUSING EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILURES AND POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT? A VEHICLE THAT BURNS 4-5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5K MILE OIL CHANGES IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR ANYBODY BUT ESPECIALLY UNSAFE FOR THE ELDERLY AND YOUNG DRIVERS. THE DEFECT WILL CAUSE ENGINE PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS LEADING TO CAR CRASHES, ENGINE FIRES AND VIOLATES EMISSIONS STANDARDS.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA CRV BRAND NEW 2010. BY THE TIME THE CAR WAS 2 YEAR OLD, WITH 10,000 MILES, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WOULD START THE CAR. THE GRINDING NOISE LASTS ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT HAS BEEN INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD HONDA IS WORKING ON A "FIX" AND THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE ADDRESSED WHEN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAD THE ISSUE FIGURED OUT. ONE YEAR LATER (BUT STILL UNDER WARRANTY), THE GRINDING NOISE IS LOUDER AND LONGER THAN BEFORE, AND HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT HONDA HAS BEEN INSTALLING THE DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUATOR SINCE 2008, IN ACCORDS. THE DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR WAS ALSO INSTALLED IN 2012-2014 CRV'S. IT APPEARS THAT HONDA CONTINUED TO USE THE DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR SINCE 2008, YET CUSTOMERS ARE BEING TOLD THAT A "FIX" IS IN THE WORKS, 7 YEARS LATER. AMERICAN HONDA HAS ADVISED HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO NOT REPLACE THE ACTUATOR AS IT IS LIKELY THAT THE REPLACEMENT ACTUATOR WILL PRESENT THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. A REGIONAL CASE MANAGER ALSO ASSURED ME THAT A "FIX" WAS IN THE WORKS BUT DID NOT COMMENT WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT HONDA CONTINUED TO USE A DEFECTIVE PART FROM 2008-2014. HONDA REPEATEDLY EMPHASIZES THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY OR PERFORMANCE ISSUE, TO WHICH I HAVE REPLIED THAT IS LIKELY THE REASON IT HAS BEEN 7 YEARS WITH NO FIX -- IT IS A LOW PRIORITY AND HONDA CHOOSES TO DIRECT ITS ENGINEERING RESOURCES ELSEWHERE.

THE VEHICLE HAD A NOISE AFTER I PUT 1000 MILES AND TOOK IT TO HONDA SERVICE IN DANBURY HONDA IN CT, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON 1000 MILES DUE TO ENGINE WAS BURNING OIL. BROUGHT IT BACK TWICE WITH THE SAME RESULT, BURNING OIL. CUSTOMER SERVICE SENT DOCUMENTS AND PROOF TO HONDA FOR AN APPROVAL TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS WELL KNOWN THAT THE 2010 CRV ARE BURNING OIL IN EXCESS AND I AM WAITING OVER A WEEK FOR A RESPONSE AND NOBODY CALLED ME, I CALLED THEM TODAY AND ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY HAVENT HEARD FROM HONDA. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT IS WELL KNOWN IN THEIR INTERNAL CIRCLE, I ASKED SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING, AND HONDA KNOWS BUT THEY WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ADMITED. I AM WAITING FOR A POSSITIVE ANSWER IF NOT, I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN 2015 TO CHECK FOR OIL LEAK SINCE THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THEY DID NOT FIND ANY LEAKS AND SAID THE CAR WAS WORKING AS NORMAL. I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN IN 2016 2 MONTHS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS SUBJECT TO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE UNTIL 8 YEARS OR 125K MILES. I CONTACTED MY NEW DEALERSHIP AND TOOK MY CAR IN. MY ADVISOR STATED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WOULD NEED TO BE DONE WHICH CONSISTED OF AND OIL CHANGE AND BRINGING IT BACK IN 1000 MILES LATER TO SEE MORE THAN 1 QUART OF OIL HAD BEEN BURNED. SINCE I WOULD BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD AT THE END OF THE TEST I CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD BE COVERED. I SPOKE WITH REBECCA WHO ASSURED ME THAT SINCE I HAD STARTED THE TEST BEFORE THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS OVER I WOULD BE FULLY COVERED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AT 1000 MILES AND THAT SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. IN JAN 2017 MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS BURNING MORE OIL THAN 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. MY CAR NOW HAD 127653 MILES. HONDA IS NOW REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I SPOKE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA CORP AND SHE STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE COVERED SINCE THE PROCESS WAS STARTED BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT CORRECT AND SHE WOULD GIVE A COACHING TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT NOTED MY FILE.

THE FIRST TIME WE BECAME AWARE OF ANY ISSUE WAS AROUND 3/3/16 (64224MI) WHEN WE STARTED HEARING ENGINE/MUFFLER NOISE AND WE MENTIONED IT WHEN WE BROUGHT CAR IN FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. BY 7/21/16 (67233MI) WE WERE HEARING VERY STRONG MOTOR NOISES AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE VERY ROUGH. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN THEY ADVISED US WE WERE 3QTS LOW. FROM THE LAST OIL CHANGE AT 60742MI THAT AMOUNTS TO 1.0QT/2164MI. THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ON 8/10/16 (67942MI) WE WERE ALREADY 1QT LOW AFTER ONLY 500MI AND THEY ASKED US TO DO AN OIL CHANGE WHEN WE WERE ONLY AT 40% ACCORDING TO THE "OIL LIFE" INDICATOR. BY 12/2/16 WHEN WE FINISHED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS TO GET BACK WITH US, THEY SAID OUR OIL CONSUMPTION WAS "WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS" ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY. ON 1/9/17 (73743MI) WE REQUESTED HONDA CHECK OUR OIL AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS DOWN 1.8QTS AFTER 2790MI. THAT'S 1.0QTS/1500MI. THEY SUGGESTED WE DO ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. CLEARLY, HONDA HAS SET CONVENIENT "NORMAL LIMITS" IN ORDER TO DELAY REPAIRS THAT COULD MITIGATE FUTURE ENGINE ISSUES AFTER OUR WARRANTY (OR EXTENDED WARRANTY) HAS EXPIRED. WE HAVE REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL SO WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE GUESSING AS TO WHEN WE NEED TO ADD OIL AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BECAUSE IT HAS MOST DEFINITELY LOWERED THE RESALE VALUE OF OUR CAR AND MADE IT MUCH HARDER TO SELL. THE NUMBER ONE REASON WE PURCHASED THIS CAR WAS FOR IT'S HIGH RESALE VALUE WHICH IT CAN NO LONGER LIVE UP TO.

ACCELERATION. MY 2010 HONDA CRV LOSES POWER AND STALLS. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO PULL OUT ONTO THE ROAD. I BOUGHT IT TWO MONTHS AGO. IT ONLY HAS 110,000 ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. THEY ALSO SAID THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER PARTS THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. IT TOTALED ALMOST $2000.00. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS. WHY HASN'T HONDA RECALLED THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!

THIS VEHICLE STARTED BURNING OIL EARLY IN 2017. IT BURNS BETWEEN 1.8 AND .66 QUARTS PER 1000 MILES (BASED ON HONDA'S OWN TEST, ATTACHED). HONDA TOLD US THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THAT WE SHOULD REPLENISH THE OIL EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NO VEHICLE SHOULD "BURN" OIL AT THAT RATE. IT IS BOTH A LIABILITY TO THE OWNER AND A DETRIMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT. HONDA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM (RECALL) AND SHOULD FIX IT.

IN AUGUST OF 2015 HONDA ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTIFICATION FOR STICKING PISTON RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. IN 2015 I BEGAN TO ADD OIL IN-BETWEEN REQUIRED OIL CHANGES AND REPORTED THE CONDITION TO MANCHESTER HONDA IN JULY. THE RATE IS APPROXIMATELY 1QT/2,500 MILES. HONDA AGREES THIS IS 'ABNORMAL' BUT THAT THE RATE DOES NOT MEET THE 'EXCESSIVE' CONSUMPTION REQUIRED TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTIFICATION. THAT RATE IS NOT DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE AND REPORTED TO BE 1QT/1,000 MILES. FOR 'CUSTOMER SATISFACTION' HONDA HAS AGREED TO FIX THE PROBLEM CHARGING ME $1,000. I OBJECT TO THIS OFFER AS I PAID FOR A NORMAL CAR AND SEE NO REASON TO PAY ADDITION MONEY TO MAKE THE CAR NORMAL - I PAID FOR AND EXPECT A NORMAL CAR. THE WORD ARGUMENT - ABNORMAL VS. EXCESSIVE - HONDA HAS FORWARDED DOES NOT IMPRESS ME. THE WARRANTY NOTIFICATION STATES "... HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION", THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. WHETHER IT IS ABNORMAL OR EXCESSIVE IS A PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION HONDA CAN HAVE INTERNALLY. THE FACTS: MY CAR IS EXHIBITING HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION; HONDA AGREES THE CONSUMPTION IS ABNORMAL AND IN 2015 ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTIFICATION ACKNOWLEDGING THE 2010 CR-V MODELS POTENTIALLY HAVE A STICKING PISTON RING RESULTING IN HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. CALLING AN OFFER TO PAY A SECOND TIME FOR THE NORMAL CAR I PURCHASED DOES NOT, IN MY MIND, AMOUNT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. TOGETHER THE TERMINOLOGY EXCUSE HONDA HAS PRESENTED, THE HOLLOW CUSTOMER SATISFACTION OFFER AND LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE ENTIRE HONDA SERVICE TEAM ADDS TO MY ANGER AND FRUSTRATION. MY REQUEST IS TO HAVE HONDA PERFORM WHATEVER REPAIRS NECESSARY TO YIELD THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED - A NORMAL CAR THAT DOES NOT EXHIBIT HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION.

HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION - MY CAR RAN OUT OF OIL IN 2014, THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I ADDED 4 QTS OF OIL. THIS WAS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WITH "20% OIL LIFE" STILL INDICATED IN THE CAR. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA AND NOT UNTIL THEY SENT ME THE WARRANTY EXTENSION REQUIRED BY THE COURT ORDER DID ANYTHING HAPPEN. THEN THEY (MCGRATH HONDA ELGIN IL) MADE ME BRING THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY TOLD ME THE TEST WOULD ONLY TAKE 3 TRIPS. EVEN THOUGH IT CONTINUES TO BURN OIL (1QT PER 800-1000 MILES) THEY DENY A PROBLEM.

I FIRST NOTICED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN DEC 2014 WHEN DRIVING ACROSS WEST TEXAS (SPEED LIMITS ARE 80 MPH). MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN I ARRIVED IN TUCSON. I WENT TO A DEALER WHO SAID I HAD RUN OUT OF OIL BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. I THEN WENT TO WHERE I PURCHESD THE CAR BUT NO REASON FOR EXCESSIVE OIL FOUND. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC- AGAIN NO REASON. IN AUGUST 2015 HONDA SENT A LETTER EXPLAINING THAT 2010 AND 2011 CR-VS HAD A PROBLEM WITH STICKY PISTON RINGS THAT COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WENT THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ALTHOUGH I DOCUMENTED 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL BURNED IN 1700 MILES OF HIGHWAY, THE AVERAGE WAS LESS THAN HONDA DEFINED AS EXCESSIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE, ESPECIALLY ON LONGER HIGHWAY DRIVES AND I AM WORRYING ABOUT DAMAGING THE ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD DO THE WARRANTY WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTINUE TO DO MY OWN OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. THE WARRANTY IS VALID UNTIL NOV 2017 AND FOR ANOTHER 35,000 MILES.
