Consumer Description

MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC SI, BOUGHT NEW, HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AFTER OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT FIND WHY IT IS LEAKING EXCEPT THAT IT IS COMING FROM THE FILTER. I WAS CHARGED $100 FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES THAT DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER FAULT BESIDES A 'LEAKING FILTER'. THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN, CHANGE THE FILTER, AND CONTINUE THIS CYCLE UNTIL IT DOESN'T LEAK ANYMORE. THE FIRST INCIDENCE TOOK 4 VISITS. I JUST HAD ANOTHER SCHEDULED SERVICE AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, AND THE CAR IS LEAKING OIL HEAVILY IN MY DRIVEWAY AGAIN. MY CAR WAS NOT LEAKING OIL WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE. THE OIL IS COVERING MY SUSPENSION AND VARIOUS UNDERBODY COMPONENTS. *TR
