| Description of the problem | From the date i purchased (so honda already knew of problem) my vehicle oil is being over filled (and diluted) with gasoline. It dilutes and overfills to the point of pcv valve burn off. Now 33000 miles on auto, honda wants to change injectors to "see" if this solves problem. One: it's happened since new. Injectors or doubtfully the problem. Two: 33000 miles of gas/oil dilution has undoubtedly caused wear to crank and cylinders. How is injectors being replaced going to "solve" the wear that they have allowed, since my continued concerns at every single oil change for 33000 miles were ignored? I have read this is not an uncommon problem, but very common with this engine. One: why haven't they addressed my concerns for 33000 miles? Two: with a known problem, and the customer complaining from the start of dilution, why haven't they addressed the wear to my engine? An extended warranty does not stop the damage caused by honda ignoring my complaints for 33000 miles to start a repair. Note, i have addressed overfilling with gasoline at every oil change (garage visit) to the point of argument just to get it documented that i raised the issue! It dilutes to pcv valve burnoff before 1000 miles (as tested and verified by honda dealership!) and goes for at least 5000 miles between oil changes. Every day more gas and oil are burnt through exhaust as more gas is added. I will comply with the injector "fix" by the garage, but want my wear to the engine addressed. This is gross overfilling and dilution, known by honda, and sold to me anyways, with no repair as of yet to wear. What happens when warranty runs out and they have allowed such gross dilution and wear? They are claiming a "cold climate" problem, but my does it in the heat of the south carolina summer! Honda is covering up. |
