My 2003 Honda Cr-v began having trouble keeping oil levels normal for the past year or so. I requested that Honda check out the issue a couple of times; Honda was never able to find any issues (I. E. , the car was not burning oil or leaking oil anywhere). Last week while I was driving, my car abruptly dies in the middle of the street. The timing chain had jumped four notches and bent the valves. According to my extended warranty (even though I have proven that I have performed all of the necessary maintenance) I am responsible for the damages to this car. I find it lucky that I was not driving on the freeway when this happened, since my car so abruptly stopped. I am curious if others are having similar problems with their 2003 Honda Cr-vs.
'recall campaign' consumer received recall for srs cable reel and Cr-v shift cable update. The valve cover gasket was leaking in the right front corner of the vehicle. There were many occasions in which the vehicle would have no oil. The vehicle would burn oil every 500 miles or less. The consumer requested a new engine or a new vehicle due to her fear that oil may drip and cause the vehicle to catch fire. The problem remained the same.
The consumer noticed oil leaking from the vehicle. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Oil was burnig every 500 miles.
