Description of the problem	Our 2004 honda cr-v was taken to the dealer for its first oil change after 6 months of ownership and 2,038 miles driven. After driving a few miles toward home the oil began draining rapidly from the car and smoke was billowing from underneath the car. My wife, following in another car, signaled me to pull over. I did and immediately shut the engine off. The remaining oil drained out and the smoke and heat subsided. We believe a fire would have resulted if i had driven much farther.ak when dropping off the car, i made a special point to remind the dealer this model had reported fire problems associated with oil changes. The dealer examined the car after the incident and admitted the filter had not been properly installed. Despite the reminder, any steps taken by honda to remedy the situation, and service by a large honda dealer, this dangerous situation still resulted. We believe both honda and nhtsa are remiss in not ordering a recall of this vehicle for some modification to prevent such oil leaks from falling onto the catalytic converter or other parts hot enough to cause combustion. We did not drive the cr-v again and traded for a safer vehicle. The dealer indicated he would resell the cr-v. Will it take burning injuries or death before you take action?ak
