Consumer Description

MY 2003 HONDA CR-V BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING OIL LEVELS NORMAL FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO. I REQUESTED THAT HONDA CHECK OUT THE ISSUE A COUPLE OF TIMES; HONDA WAS NEVER ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES (I.E., THE CAR WAS NOT BURNING OIL OR LEAKING OIL ANYWHERE). LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR ABRUPTLY DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED FOUR NOTCHES AND BENT THE VALVES. ACCORDING TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PROVEN THAT I HAVE PERFORMED ALL OF THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE) I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES TO THIS CAR. I FIND IT LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SINCE MY CAR SO ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I AM CURIOUS IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2003 HONDA CR-VS. *TR
