In early 2018, around the 80k mileage mark the oil light came on. The car was due for it's oil to be changed, checked the oil level and it appeared dry. Purchased a 5 qt bottle and emptied almost all 5 quarts into the oil tank. The car had been sounding funny for a couple of weeks, but never considered the oil level an issue or the cause of the funny sounds. Once I filled the tank the sound disappeared. Had the oil changed by the dealership 2 days later and commented on the issue. An oil consumption test was recommended. Went back at 1000 miles after the oil change and was told all was fine. Skipped further oil consumption testing at this point. At the next oil change (5k miles later) was told my tank was down nearly 4 quarts. Decided to go through the oil consumption test again. 1st test, down 1 quart 2nd test down 3/4 quart 3rd test down 3/4 quart. Was told by service manager that 1 quart/1000 miles, is considered acceptable my Honda standards/policy. A search of the internet revealed that there are many other 2015 Honda crv owners with the same complaint with no resolution/satisfaction by Honda. This issue with excessive oil consumption may lead to premature wear on engine parts and possible engine fire since dealership can't explain why there is excessive oil being consumed or possibly leaking when on the highway.
I purchased my car in may the recall was issued in March so obviously they did not pull the 137 cars affected. After 6000 miles with no warning, no check engine light no safety warning sign other then a rapping sound that continued to get louder until the car was inoperable. This started well driving down route 28. When I was contacted by the repair center I was told that 3/4 of the engine needed replaced. When I expressed concern with the results of all of the engine fluids being shared through out the engine and feeling uncomfortable with only fixing 3/4 of the engine. I contacted american Honda. They didn't care that this had happened. That the car was not pulled and fixed when they issued the recall. American Honda does not care about customer satisfaction. When I asked chris the customer rep that was assigned to my complaint to be transferred to a supervisor to fill a official complaint I was told "there is no one higher then him" he didn't care about my concerns for safety or about the investment I made in purchasing a new vehicle. So once you buy it your on your own they don't care about customer safety or concerns.
