Description of the problem	The problem is and has been excess oil usuage. It uses a quart about every 400 hundred miles. I bought the car used at a local honda dealer may, 2010. It had 102,000 miles on it. It now has 117,000. It's been using oil every since i've had it. I took it back to the dealer and they couldn't find any thing wrong. They said the engine was clean and there were no oil leaks anywhere. I've searched the internet and there are alot of complaints posted about this car. The problem is the engine put in the car in 2002. A 1. 6l was replaced with a new 1. 8l engine and evidently the 1. 8l didn't seat properly causing oil usuage. My son drove this car while he was at college. The problem is, with this kind of oil usage, you can run the car out of oil. We tried to keep up with it, but if you run it high speeds it will use more oil. If the car runs out of oil on an interstate and the engine locks up, well you could have a serious safety problem. I keep the car at home now because of the safety concerns. We drive it locally only. *tt
