| Description of the problem | We purchased our 2018 honda crv in august of 2018 and soon after found out shortly after that there was a known problem with gas getting into the oil in the 1. 5 l models in the years 2017 and 2018. When i checked the oil soon after the purchase i noticed it appeared to be a bit high on the dipstick. I decided to change the oil myself at about 1500 miles and found there was 7. 5 quarts when the actual amount should have been 3. 7 quarts. Within a few days of changing the oil i noticed the oil was up higher on the dipstick again so i made an appointment at wilde honda for service. I was told there would soon be a fix for the issue and they changed the oil. I brought the vehicle back a couple weeks later to have the fix done to the vehicle. I took the vehicle home and soon after found the oil higher on the dipstick again. I took it back to honda service again and they changed the oil but did not check how much oil was actually in the engine. I pulled out of honda service and it immediately appeared high on the dipstick but i went home with the vehicle. I waited a week or so and changed the oil myself and checked the amount of oil which was 4. 7 quarts so 1 quart over. I called honda service about the issue and they said they can do no more to help and suggested i contact honda or go through mediation. I have never had a vehicle with an issue like this and i see it is pretty widespread and not just in the usa. I guess i will work through mediation and see what can be done. We'd really like to just trade it in for a new model that does not have this issue. Should have bought the toyota rav4 instead. |
