| Description of the problem | While driving my '17 honda cr-v ex, it suddenly sputtered, started losing power & wouldn't let me accelerate over 10mph. Malfunction indicator started blinking. I was in 4 lanes of traffic with no place to pull over. I put flashers on & cars drove around me. I got to a side st & the manual said if indicator is blinking, it's a misfire in engine's cylinders & to wait for engine to cool down. I sat for 40 mins & made it back home close by & called honda roadside assistance who towed it to honda new rochelle. I can't remember being that frightened driving. When bob from honda nr called he said my car has too much oil, above top of dipstick & it's the fault of the person who changed the oil (on oct. 30, 5 wks earlier). Complaints listed in 2 10/2018 consumer report articles (below) re '17 honda cr-v ex state gas is mixing with the oil & oil level sometimes rises above full level on dipstick. Bob said he knew all about the cr articles. Honda charged me $213. 99 for diagnostics & to change the oil. He said that was my choice or i could have the car towed somewhere else. My car has approx 4,600 miles on it. My 2 sisters have this same car & we often have children in it. We're petrified now about suddenly losing acceleration. Https://www. Consumerreports. Org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-cr-v-affected-by-engine-trouble/ https://www. Consumerreports. Org/car-repair-maintenance/honda-delays-cr-v-turbo-engine-fix-details-rollout-plans/ the cr articles describe exactly what happened to my car & detail the problem as happening esp. To drivers in cold states who make frequent short trips. That describes me. It said heat in this model can be an issue & my heat/defroster have never worked well. Honda has a serious problem with this suv, & honda new rochelle dismissed my concerns about the connection between the cr reports & my recent terrifying drive. |
