Consumer Description

OIL CHANGE TO 2004 HONDA CRV RESULTED IN THE PREDECESSOR OF A FIRE. AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR, A CUSTOMER CAME RUNNING OUT POUNDING ON MY WINDOW. THERE WAS OIL SPEWING OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I HAD JUST READ THE WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE REGARDING RECENT FIRES TO CRV'S AFTER OIL CHANGES. I SHOWING THE ARTICLE TO THE TECHNICIAN AND HE ASSURED ME EVEERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST SHODDY MECHANICS WORK. TOO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. INCLUDING ME! SEE ODI 10083308, SAME VIN. *DSY
