I bought a 2002 Honda Odyssey from small dealer. Come to find out that the engine oil is leaking. It had 52000 miles on it. Dealer says it is out of warranty due to mileage. I believe that Honda should fix that problem for me as it is not due to wear and tear of the vehicle. I believe the seal is defective and should be replaced free of charge. The dealer is asking $600. 00 to fix the problem. The vehicle also lunges forward when decelerating and coming to a graded stop.
The vehicle was serviced for an oil leak at the dealer. While sitting in the vehicle a friend noticed fuel leaking from the vehicle. The dealer serviced the vehicle, and told consumer it was normal to smell gas. The gas smell continued. The vehicle was taken back to the service dealer and was informed that the gas cap need to be replaced. The driveway would be covered in oil. The transmission would shift rough and would jerk.
The engine has leaked oil on three different occasions. Requiring me to take the van in for service each time. The first time oil was getting on the engine while driving and we could smell hot oil. The second and third times it was leaking from the bottom of engine.
Transmission failure and engine oil leaks due to what the dealer calls a porous engine block cast.
Oil leaking following immediate use of car, unable to be repaired & needs a new engine, ? faulty casting at manufacturer, product should not have left manufacturer, car driven a total of 287 miles now off the road 15 days.
