NHTSA complaint: 2017 HONDA CR-V — ENGINE
ENGINE OIL LEVELS ARE HIGH DUE EXCESSIVE DILUTION BY PETROLEUM. AS A RESULT THE OIL PAN IS HIGH CAUSING OIL LEAKS. THERE ARE NEW OIL DRIPS IN MY GARAGE EVERY DAY. I'M SURE THE ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I DRIVE; I ALSO NOTICE OIL DRIPS ON THE GROUND AT WORK. THE OIL LEVEL CONTINUES TO BE HIGH EVEN WITH THE LEAKS. HONDA DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE OIL HAS PETROLEUM IN IT. HONDA ALSO ACCEPTS DILUTION IS NORMAL IN THEIR CARS WITH THIS ENGINE, YET THE DEALERSHIP DENIED ANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY ADDED A DYE AND ASKED THAT I CONTINUE DRIVING AND COME BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WILL BE DUE IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE OIL MIXED WITH PETROL CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN I WAS SMOKING IN THE GARAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR EVERYONE THAT WORKS IN THEIR GARAGE, SMOKES, COOKS OR HAS A HEAT SOURCE NEAR IT. IT CAN CAUSE FIRE AND DEATH. HIGH CHANCES OF ENGINE STALLS DUE TO EXCESSIVE PRESSURE.
