NHTSA Complaint #10839841 — 2010 HONDA CR-V

I FIRST NOTICED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN DEC 2014 WHEN DRIVING ACROSS WEST TEXAS (SPEED LIMITS ARE 80 MPH). MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN I ARRIVED IN TUCSON. I WENT TO A DEALER WHO SAID I HAD RUN OUT OF OIL BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. I THEN WENT TO WHERE I PURCHESD THE CAR BUT NO REASON FOR EXCESSIVE OIL FOUND. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC- AGAIN NO REASON. IN AUGUST 2015 HONDA SENT A LETTER EXPLAINING THAT 2010 AND 2011 CR-VS HAD A PROBLEM WITH STICKY PISTON RINGS THAT COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WENT THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ALTHOUGH I DOCUMENTED 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL BURNED IN 1700 MILES OF HIGHWAY, THE AVERAGE WAS LESS THAN HONDA DEFINED AS EXCESSIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE, ESPECIALLY ON LONGER HIGHWAY DRIVES AND I AM WORRYING ABOUT DAMAGING THE ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD DO THE WARRANTY WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTINUE TO DO MY OWN OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. THE WARRANTY IS VALID UNTIL NOV 2017 AND FOR ANOTHER 35,000 MILES.
