| Description of the problem | My 2016 honda cr-v recently got 21 mpg on a 300+ highway mile trip. From day 1, the advertised mileage of 32 mpg has never been reached. It has steadily declined till i am getting 21 mpg. I recently read an article where honda admitted that vehicles produced in the years 2016-2019 cr-v's were experiencing significant mpg declines due to a defect that was allowing oil to mix with gas. This defect affected autos in cold climates, including nebraska where i live. This article explained that honda was not regarding them as recalls yet, but that they were being sent back to the factory for repairs. I contacted honda and they played dumb, suggesting that i take it to the dealer on my dime. I want answers, and now. |
