NHTSA Complaint #10442567 — 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY

THE ENGINE CONSUMES ALMOST 1 QUARTZ OF OIL EVERY 1000-1500 MILES SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. DEALER INSISTS IT IS OK. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 55000 MILES, BUT OIL HAS TO BE ADDED REGULARLY. THIS IS ABSURD. THE PROBLEM TENDS TO OCCUR TO VEHICLES EQUIP WITH VCM ENGINES. HONDA CORPORATION ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM, SO HONDA CAME OUT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN 11-033 WHICH UPDATING THE PGM-FI SOFTWARE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ALONG WITH THE SERVICE BULLETIN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE UPDATE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO IT. CONSIDER THESE ENGINES WILL BE ON THE ROAD FOR YEARS TO COME. LACK OF OIL MAY SEIZE ENGINES, VEHICLES MAY STALL WITH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THERE ARE HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS HONDA ENGINES CONSUME OIL MORE THAN NORMAL RATE, THEN HONDA DOES NOT HELP THE ENVIRONMENT AT ALL. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND MAKE HONDA RECALLS THEIR VEHICLES.
