| Description of the problem | 2018 honda cr-v ex. Since i purchased new excess in jan 2018 fuel is getting into the crankcase and diluting the engine oil. Have to change my oil every 3,000 miles. Sent several oil samples from my cr-v to a lab and it comes back highly diluted which will eventually cause premature engine damage. Also, during the winter months when temps are in the single digits and below my cr-v cannot hold a normal engine temperature when going downhill or in stop and go traffic. This is turn causes my windshield to ice over causing a serious hazard when driving down the roads. I have contacted and visited my honda dealer several times and they say nothing is wrong. How can myself and many others have these identical problems and nothing be wrong? I am very disappointed in honda motor corporation and my dealer. I have purchased 4 new honda vehicles over the years and this will certainly be my last. Not a happy camper for sure. |
