Consumer Description

AT ABOUT 24500 MILES, I DROVE FOR 1500MILES RIG1500MILESOIL SERVICE AT DEALER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACT THEM AND THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER/SERVICE. THEY FILLED THE ENGINE AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE 1000 MILES AND CAME BACK FOR THEM TO TEST OIL CONSUMPTION. I DID IT FOR 2 TIMES CONSECUTIVE AND THEY SAY IT WAS WITHIN NORMAL LEVEL. I ASK THEM TO TEST AGAIN. THEY AGREE. NOW, AFTER DRIVE 1500 MILES I WENT BACK AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. A FRACTION BELOW THE LOWER LEVEL. NOW, THEY WILL SUBMIT A REPAIR REQUEST TO HONDA OF USA, BUT, MY VEHICLE IS UP TO 27500 MILES. TECNICALY NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. BUT SENSE I NOTICE AND THEY DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM BEFORE 25000, IT WILL BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER ANOTHER 5000 MILES ONLY GOD KNOWS. HONDA OF USA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON ENGINE RINGS AND PISTONS OR EVEN REPLACE IT ALL.
