Engine Burning Oil Problems of Honda CR-V - part 1

On highway, engaged cruise control at 70 mph. Engine light came on, simultaneously with loss of power (pressing on gas pedal did nothing) and apple carplay disconnect. We were near an exit and managed to drift off, at lower off-ramp speed engine again could respond to accelerator however was chugging very badly. Went to nearby oil change place. Mechanic there advised going straight to dealer a short distance further. Drove on to the Honda dealer, car still chugging and stopped the car until I could talk to the service person. When the car restarted it was no longer chugging. Service person diagnosed the following and said I basically needed a new engine: tech scanned vehicle and found codes p0300 random cyl misfire, p0302 cyl 2 misfire. Tech checked live data and had very little misfire coming from cyl 3, pulled all coils and plugs and found cyl 2 and 4 had the injectors still spraying with the vehicle off indicating failure of the injectors in those 2 cylinders, in cylinder 3 tech found excessive oil burning on the piston, indicating oil leaking into the combustion chamber of the motor.

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.

Car had low engine oil light come on. Dealership diagnosed it as excessive oil consumption, and suggested piston rings replacement, estimated cost $3000. The mileage on car was 84,155 and always had timely oil change done at same dealership. Similar issue was apparently for crv 08-11 models (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10152429-0001.

Vehicle keeps gaining oil level from burned fuel even though the dealer installed the software update. I live in the south so the cold weather is not the issue. I am an industrial mechanic for 47 years and do my own maintenance so I know what the correct level is. The dealer says there is no fix but diluted fuel leads to damage and if severe, can cause engine failure and accident. The image posted is about 7k miles on oil change and the level is above the level marker pad. The second issue is the electronic display fails to function which allows access to vehicle information and control access. The dealer replaced the unit but this issue goes back to 2016 and so far, do not know if the replacement will solve the issue since it was replaced with a remanufactured part, not new. The dealer replaced the unit really not telling Honda the truth about the failure type, they said it was sound system issue when they knew for a fact there was none as I gave them a video and a letter describing the issue. One part is 1000 dollars and the other 1800 dollars, a stiff cost when warranty runs out. Their fix is an extended warranty at a couple of hundred a month. A win win for them and a loss to the consumer. The failure was sporatic and happened driving or parked. The failure date is just for the electronic part but oil issue has been from the beginning.

On cold start-ups there is a loud rattle coming from the engine. My Cr-v only has 54,000 miles on it and this is ridiculous. I am told it could be the vtc actuator and can only hope that my extended warranty will cover it. Not the quality I expect from Honda at all. Researching this can lead to oil consumption and a stretched timing chain and premature engine failure.

Vtc actuator grinding on cold start. Reported to Honda. Paid to have it replaced out of pocket at a cost of $1443. 83 on 9/24/18 at 111,863 miles. At 122,000 miles started having high oil consumption. After several misdiagnosis by hare Honda, determined same issue as 2011 TSB a12-089 problem with sticking piston rings. Requires full engine rebuild quoted at $2000. If not fixed can cause engine failure.

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.

Car engine **under warranty** is burning excessive oil which can eventually lead to catastrophic engine failure. [warranty: 5 yr/60k miles; have owned just over 3 yrs w/ 38k miles] 1) having worked on my own cars 30+ years I noted it was burning far too much oil between changes. Took car to dealer for �engine oil consumption test� 6/29/19; dealer denied car had burned any oil despite stick showing engine had in fact burned oil during duration of test. 2) sent email to Honda reporting this issue (�Honda automobile customer service case # 09925699 dated 10/3/19�). Honda replied that I should talk to the very same service manager who denied the engine was burning any oil let alone excessive oil; in the alternative they suggested going to �another certified Honda dealership�. Since the issue has not been repaired the defect & internal damage is ongoing. I am concerned that driving the car without appropriate repair is dangerous. A simple �google search� reveals mine is not the only vehicle in this model year with this issue. I note that for prior model years Honda has acknowledged this defect & at least extended the warranty or effected repairs. (see Honda service bulletin 12-089) consumer reports says �it's normal for cars to burn a little oil as they age toward 100,000 miles and beyond. But consumer reports believes that for an almost new car to burn that excessive amount of oil is unacceptable. � (�excessive oil consumption isn't normal: automakers say adding oil between scheduled changes is acceptable. It's not. . Read more...

Excessive oil (no oil leak) engine oil disappeared 2 quarts after only 3000 miles from last oil change. No towing, racing, mountains, etc. Contacted Honda, they say according to Honda policy only Honda vehicles that consumpt 1 qtr oil per 1000 mile are consider abnormal. Since my Cr-v consumpt about 1 qtr per 1500 mile, Honda say it is normal and will not honoring their warranty.

Extensive white smoke out of exhaust pipe when stopped at city traffic light. Burnt oil smell. Could not accelerate above 23 miles per hour in traffic. Every system failure message displayed. Purchase crv new from Honda dealer in March, 2018. Has 2,634 miles on it. Had been start/stop driving for about 2 hours in local city traffic running errands.

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.

I am finding more oil in the oil reservoir from unburnt gas.

In August 2018 I brought vehicle to privately owned shop that I trust to research a noise coming from the engine bay when starting the vehicle. Mechanic found through inspection/research that timing chain likely needed to be replaced ($1000 job) on 2014 Cr-v�s. At that time my vehicle was less than 5 years old with less than 60,000 miles, so it was within the power train warrantee period (5yrs/60kmi). The mechanic also found that the engine was leaking quite a bit of oil for such a new car and he said it had a consumption issue. I called Honda in August 2018, and started a case regarding oil consumption and noise related to timing chain. They told me to bring vehicle to Honda dealership to begin oil consumption test and to have noise looked at. I immediately brought the vehicle to lia Honda who told me to wait until oil needed to be changed to start consumption test b/c the oil was recently changed and it would be a waste of new oil. I brought the car into keeler Honda in November of 2018 to complete the oil consumption test when the oil needed to be changed and to have the noise checked out. They changed the oil and couldn't figure out the noise, stating the car was fine. As I drove the car over the next few months the noise got worse. I brought the car to the dealership where I bought the car and they stated I should bring the car back to Honda because it should've been under warrantee and something was definitely wrong. I called Honda manufacturer and referenced my case from Aug of 2018- they agreed to document that my car was covered b/c these issues stem from when it was under warrantee (now has 62kmi). Keeler Honda found a service bulletin to replace vtc actuator related to noise. This was replaced and covered by Honda. The car still has oil consumption issue! 2015 Cr-v's were recalled due to oil consumption to replace the engine, but not 2014�s? same issue!!!!!.

This complaint is related to my vehicle diluting the oil with unburnt gasoline and creating fuel odors in the cabin as well as premature engine wear. . My vehicle now has ~ 15000 miles and has just completed its 3rd oil change. Each oil change has recorded on the service order the drained oil amount and each time the fluid level was larger then what was filled at the prior oil change. The last change the dealership recorded 17 oz more fluid then what went in, this was all gasoline. This is resulting in gasoline odors in the cabin which are creating an unsafe environment for my passengers and myself. It seems highly likely that accumilating gasoljne vapors in the interior of the vehicle pose both a health hazard and a possible fire or explosion risk . Honda has acknowledged there is a oil dilution problem with these vehicles but rejects the notion that the byproducts of this design flaw, namely the accumulating gas vapors pose any safety risk at all. Since Honda has not remedied this flaw I am asking that this transportation organization investigate these claims for validity and instruct them to correct this health, and safety risk as well as the premature or accelerated wear of my engine due to this acknowledged flaw.

My 2018 Cr-v suffers from the dreaded [oil dilution issue] where gasoline gets into the oil raising the level above the full mark. The result is a strong gasoline smell, sometimes in the cabin but always when you pull the dipstick to check the oil. The oil level is always considerably higher than the full mark. I presented this issue to my dealer, and they confirmed the smell of gas in the oil, the high level and the fact that many 2017-18 crv's suffer from this same issue. Their unacceptable solution was to change the oil and make longer trips to try to burn off the gasoline in the oil. They also said that Honda would be issuing a statement in the fall about fixing the issue. First a bit about the issue. There are many reports of crv owners with this problem unexpectedly stalling and losing power while in motion. Some have suffered accidents. Does this sound like a vehicle you'd like to put your family in? also, diluted motor oil has to have long term damaging effects on the engine. I am very worried about the long term value of a car that was supposed to have great resale value - that's why I bought it. So Honda rolls out their "fix", and I notice that they're only going to address what they consider "cold weather states". They also plan to roll these "could weather state" fixes out over a multiple month schedule. Not acceptable at all. What about my car Honda. I would think that Honda would treat all of their customers the same and would want to fix as many afflicted vehicles as possible because of possible safety issues. Honda has a very loyal owner-base. I betcha how they handle this will affect people's decisions in the future. I know it will affect mine.

1. Engine oil level after a recent oil change ( with very less mileage) shows the oil level is higher than the "highest" indicator point. It appears to be oil is getting diluted by unburnt fuel. This may potentially harm the engine!!.

Honda's 1. 5l turbo engine oil level increases in the engine oil over time as unburnt excess fuel collects on the engine cylinder walls. The engine oil level grows quicker depending on driving conditions - sometimes colder weather, sometimes freeway speeds, there seems to be many variables. To combat the issue I am forced to change the engine oil more often for fear of engine misfires, engine damage, and premature engine wear. When I change the oil, I fill the oil to the mid engine oil dipstick mark but within 1500 miles or so the oil is at max dipstick level again with strong fuel smells. To date Honda USA has no plan for correction let alone even acknowledging the issue.

I have a 2010 Honda crv and it is consuming an excess amount of oil. I have preformed numerous tests with the dealership every 1000 miles per the test requirements for excessive oil consumption. My crv is currently using 26oz of oil or more every 1000 miles and the dealership and Honda state that it is within normal range. They stated that I should check my oil every time I fill up my gas tank. They stated that if I do not check my oil every time I get gas, the level may go low and my engine can blow up. I do not think it is reasonable to have to check my oil every week for a known issue with Honda crvs from 2010 and it would be a safety issue if my car stops working while driving.

Tamara recall my car has started burning oil at about 82,000 miles. I am putting a quart in about every 1500 miles. It seams like it is gradually burning more oil I just had to add 2 quarts and this is the second time adding between its last oils change. I have oil changed at dealership every 4-5 thousand miles. I have seen this is a problem with this year cars but mine has not fallen under any recalls I am wondering why? this car is in michigan I warm the engine up before driving. I have had the car in and looked at it is not leaking oil it is burning it.

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.

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.

Liberty Honda is refusing to perform work under a warranty extension notice titled "sticking piston rings resulting in high engine oil consumption. " I received the notice in August of 2015. Since then I have been given the runaround by liberty Honda employees over and over about why they won't fix the problem. Despite proven oil loss, and a lit up oil light liberty Honda service crew continues to fabricate reasons why they cannot perform the work in the warranty extension. Today, the service manager luis/louis was very unsympathetic to my 2-year long ordea. He said, " you haven't dealt with me yet" which not only sounded like a threat, but also sounded like code for: "I'm just going to put you through more never-ending tests and not fix the problem. " that proved true. Despite a svc rep named shanice arce promising me (on 10/26/17) that they would implement the warrantyext/pison ring fix, this proved to be another lie. When I contacted them today, after driving another 1,000 - per liberty's neverending test demands, liberty Honda's service dept. Once again told me I would have to undergo more tests. It never ends! when problems surface pertaining to oil consumption, liberty's service people always come up with an excuse why they won't do the work required under the sticking ring warranty extension. On 7/13/17, another svc rep (in a very perfunctory, unfriendly manner - wish I had his name) told me that liberty would not perform the work - even though my crv was at least two qts down. Additionally, they seem to be bringing me in just to charge me for something else. I've had to needlessly take off time from work for liberty's runaround. And their shuttle service once did not pick up me up at the end of the dayhttps://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/vehiclecomplaint/# - - until I spoke with sales 2 hours later (8pm).

Excessive oil consumption. No oil leak and not burning oil. Mechanic noted excessive oil use when he saw it was 2 quarts low on oil within 3 months use after a oil change. Mechanic found no cause for this so it must be inside the engine or drive train. Car is used for local flat driving. No towing, racing, mountains, etc.

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.

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.

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.

Single owner of vehicle, bought brand new. For last 18 months or more. . . Large oil consumption, about 1100 miles per synthetic oil change. Sounds like a lawnmower when starting vehicle. Terrible "pick-up". Very low gas mileage, used 87 unleaded for entire life of car. Currently averging about 12 miles per gallon (highway/around town combined). Taken to local Honda dealership many times with no real solution although posts all over internet with same problems.

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.

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 vtc acuator is an issue on this car. The "recall" listed for this VIN is 36,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. This is criminal as no one will experience this issue within that time frame. It lets the manufacturer off the hook. Honda knows this is an issue as it affects many makes and models of Honda cars (there is even a class action lawsuit for this particular issue for the 2014 Honda crv). The car grinds at the start, sometimes not starting at all, due to high oil consumption because of the faulty vtc acuator. The cost to replace this part is $750 and does not even solve the problem. It has been documented that the problem can often reoccur after another 10,000 miles. We were once planning on staying loyal Honda customers, but this fraudulence has convinced us to switch to a different manufacturer and tell everyone we know to do the same.

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Cr-v. While driving various speeds, the wrench warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the sloane Honda dealer located in philadelphia PA, for a third oil consumption test. The contact was informed that the levels were perfect and did not need rings. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician used a dipstick and informed the contact that there was no oil in the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that she needed to provide a two year history of the oil consumption. The approximate failure mileage was 78,102.

Excessive oil consumption. Check engine light came on and vehicle required 2 quarts of engine oil. Vehicle only has 62,000 miles on it. Honda claims that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is normal oil consumption!.

Our 2011 Honda Cr-v is part of the extended warranty issue with Honda vehicles for excessive oil consumption. We have our car serviced regularly at a local Honda dealership and go by the oil life monitor when it reaches approximately 15-20%. We had the car serviced in December, 2015. On a relatively short trip in early April, 2016 we noticed something odd about the car. Took the car into the regular place when we returned to find out it was completely out of oil. We had oil changed again in August, 2016 -- again completely out of oil. We took the car numerous times to Honda for protocol testing of oil usage at measured mile markers. Was told repeatedly that the car was not within protocol limits for fixing, even though it completely went through the oil twice in a span of eight months. The car was serviced again on October 17, 2016 and we have put in 2. 3 quarts of oil since then. In the protocol testing starting August 10 to October 17, the car used 2. 07 quarts of oil. We are getting very close to the 125,000 extended warranty level and it is so frustrating to know there is a problem, but Honda will not stand behind its product. We also have a 2004 Honda Cr-v that we have never had to put a drop of oil in -- just regular service to it. We don't know who else to talk to about this, and have been completely dissatisfied with the answers from the local Honda. We were loyal Honda customers -- now we aren't.

Oil consumption problem - took my car in for routine oil change. 96662 miles. Oil life at 15% per manual oil maintenance. Exclusive Honda (not a dealer) found no oil in my car. Sent me to a Honda dealer immediately to take care of. Since they are not a Honda dealer they cannot do anything to my car or may negate the extended warranty. The Honda dealer found a seal oil leak stated it was probably due to the high miles. I went back after 1000 miles per the requirements for oil consumption problem. They told me that the oil level & use was correct for 1000 miles. Oil life was at 80%. I planned to change my oil every 5000 to avoid this problem. However I am on my 3rd time to have the Honda dealer to check for oil consumption problems. I will be sending all the complaints separately. I am notifying all that I can in hopes to have this problem fixed by Honda.

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.
