1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2019

The vehicle was in motion, when the check engine light started flashing and the vehicle started jerking. I rushed to the dealership and I was informed that there was misfiring and they had to update the software, replace the spark plugs. They also informed that the piston rings were leaking and some of the engine oil was burnt, I also heard that this was an issue on this vehicle that others had faced, a class action lawsuit had been filed where Honda had provided a warranty extension and not a recall, so the issue will have to be handled by me. I was worried about my family's safety and Honda was not ready to resolve the issue.

2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2019

Engine is tripping the code "p3497" because the onboard computer is making the engine burn too much oil. This could cause a catastrophic engine failure. Research indicates that it's caused by a faulty oil pressure switch assembly.

Oil overconsumption, multiple calls to Honda and was told my VIN did not fall under the extended warranty they gave. Fastward to today 3/26/19 and the engine is shot and was told by the Honda dealership here in tallahassee that I need a new engine. This is negligence on part of american Honda.

5 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2017

Due to excessive oil consumption my car engine failed and was not able to be repaired. My wife was about to go on a trip and fortunately we had it looked at or else she would have been in serious danger of driving this vehicle with my children inside. I wrote 2 letters to Honda asking for a new car or a credit towards a new car. The second letter I received a call stating since I did not own the car they could not assist me. The girl, stevie, told me if I wrote more letters that would be considered harassment????.

6 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Our engine is always so low on oil it does not register on the dip stick. In this state I add 1. 5 quarts of oil. I read online that a massive amount of Honda vehicles have this issue when our vehicle triggered a check engine code and looked up the code. I brought the vehicle to the dealer in westminster CA and they did a check for oil consumption and had us return in 1000 miles. When we hit that mileage 3 weeks later I checked the oil in the morning before returning to the dealer and again the oil did not register on the dip stick. The dealer had the van for 4 hours and then told us it was checked and found to be 0. 60 quarts low and that they considered it with normal range of oil consumption. I personally believe they lied and that the van was at least 1. 25 quarts low. Have no idea what our options are now since I feel the dealer was dishonest, just keep adding 1-2 quarts every few weeks and hope the engine does not fail I guess.

7 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2016

Purchased this van 03/24/16. . While driving on highway,the check engine light came on, I pulled over check the dip stick and there was but a drop of oil in it . . . I took a taxi to the nearest gas station bought 3 bottles of oil and I added 2 quarts of oil that day, I had called 2 days prior to make an appointment for an oil change and they told me I should wait till its at 15%(it was at 30% when I called) then 2 days in the light came on. . . I didn't drive the van after I got home till the date of the appointment 08/18/16, the dealer service dept. Telling me that they are going to place the van on a oil consumption test and I must check the oil levels each time I fill up at the gas station. . And return after 1000 miles ( basically I hear drive until the engine brakes an then it will cost you to fix or replace cause your at fault) an engine should be using oil and the dealer should know where the oil is going, don't tell me its normal to burn at least a quart of oil its not**** I know about vehicles . . . Then to clear the check engine light they say I have to pay for an software update (4 mths after buying this van) and I have a 2 year warranty for this van. . . To much deceit with these dealers.
