AT 4500 MILES, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET THE OIL CHANGED. AFTER I HAD DRIVEN HOME FROM GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL, AND I FOUND OIL LEAKING FROM MY CAR. AT FIRST IT WAS LEAKING ABOUT 20 DROPS A MIN, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS ONLY LEAKING 15 DROPS A MINUTE. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND HAD IT INSPECTED THE NEXT DAY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY REASON WHY MY CAR WAS LEAKING OIL.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A NEW 2004 HONDA CRV ON JUNE 27, 2004. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I WAS INFORMED NOT ONLY OF THIS WEBSITE BUT OF THE FIRES THAT EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT AFTER THEY GET THEIR OIL CHANGED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A LARGE CORPORATION LIKE HONDA IS ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. OR HOW A SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET. WHY IS IT WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? SOON I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND THAT IS TERRIFYING TO ME. HOW ABOUT THE NEXT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED? IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN WHENEVER THE OIL IS CHANGED THROUGHTOUT THE LIFE OF MY CAR? DO I JUST PRAY I GET A SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT KNOWS WHAT TO DO? AS THE NHTSA YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS. *AK

PURCHASED 2004 HONDA CR-V JANUARY 2004 FROM CONTINENTAL HONDA IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA. WE TOOK IT IN FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE (5,000 MILES) ON JUNE 16TH. AFTER DRIVING THE 15 MILES HOME, THE ENGINE STARTED BILLOWING SMOKE, AND SPUING OIL (THE TRAIL OF OIL CAN STILL BE SEEN ON THE STREET). THE DEALER HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY EXPLAINED IT AS A FAULTY OIL GASKET, AND OFFERED A FREE OIL CHANGE. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW WEEKS, I NOTICED A CLACKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD THE TECHINTIANS CHECK IT OUT DURING THE SECOND OIL CHANGE ON AUGUST 16. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM, THEY DEDUCED THERE WAS SOME "SCORING" INSIDE THE PISTONS AND THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHORTBLOCK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A FLUKE (A FIRST TIME INCIDENT) AND THAT THE ENGINE WILL BE SENT TO HONDA USA FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. I FINALLY GOT THE CALL YESTERDAY (SEPTEMBER 9) THAT THE CAR WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. IN ALL FAIRNESS, THE EMPLOYEES AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS.*AK

I TOOK MY 2004 HONDA CRV IN FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. AS THE TECHNICIAN DROVE MY CAR OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY, SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WENT OUT TO MEET THE TECHNICIAN AND HE OPENED THE HOOD. SMOKE CAME POURING OUT AND WE NOTICED OIL SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE. HE SAID HE WAS NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED, BUT HE WOULD CLEAN IT UP AND TAKE CARE OF IT. 30 MINUTES LATER, I HAD MY CAR BACK AND DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IT WAS JUST 2-3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2004 HONDA SUV WHEN THE FIRST STORY CAME OUT ON THE WASHINGTON POST ABOUT THE CRV'S BURSTING INTO FLAMES. *AK I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT I COULD NO LONGER TAKE THE CAR BACK I WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO RE-SELL IT AND TAKE THE LOSS MYSELF. HERE I AM GETTING CLOSE TO TO THE 5000 MILE, WHICH WILL BE MY VERY FIRST OIL CHANGE, AND I SEE ANOTHER FOLLOW UP STORY ON THE WASHINGTRON POST REGARDING THE SAME THING. AND STILL NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. DEPENDING ON SOME EMAILS AND LETTERS BEING SENT BY HONDA IS NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE. I AM COMPLETELY AFRAID OF GETTING MY FIRST OIL CHANGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THAT OTHER CONSUMERS ARE TAKING THEIR CRV'S TO THE HONDA DEALERS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. WHAT GUARANTEE DO I HAVE? HOW SAFE AM I SUPPOSE TO FEEL WHEN THE HONDA DEALERS STILL DON'T DO THE OIL CHANGE RIGHT? I AM IN AWE THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS WAITING FOR A HIGH DEATH TOLL TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HOW MANY DEATHS WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU GUYS TO WAKE UP AND TELL HONDA TO DO A RECALL? HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE TAKEN FOR YOU TO SEE THAT THIS IS OF HIGH IMPORTANCE? I AM SCARED OF EVEN PARKING MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AFTER MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. IT ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT YOU AND HONDA ARE TRYING ITS BEST TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND PREFER TO RISK THOUSANDS OF LIVES. AND YET, THE CONSUMER IS STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM AND FOOTING THE BILL IF THAT OCCURS. I'M SURPRISED I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY LAWSUITS. IT'S TO TIME TO TAKE ACTION. I AM COMPLETELY DISSAPOINTED WITH HONDA AND REGRET EVER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY HAVE NOT COME FORTH FOR THE CONSUMER. I HOPE THE NEXT TIME I WRITE TO YOU IS NOT BECAUSE I'M HAVING TO COMPLAIN AND WRITE A DETAILED REPORT OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO ME.
