Consumer Description
MY CAR IS BURNING OR LEAKING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ...WITHIN A 2 YEAR PERIOD I'VE REPLACED 2- 02 SENSORS AND 2 -CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THIS HAS LEAD TO REPLACEMENT OF MY ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS WELL (HONDA SUGGESTED). I HAVE TO LITERALLY CARRY AROUND A GALLON OF OIL IN MY TRUNK DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING/LEAKAGE. I'VE SPOKEN TO HONDA MANY TIMES BUT NOONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY ITS BURNING SO MUCH OIL, I WAS TOLD HIGH MILEAGE AND TO USE A THICKER GRADE OF OIL. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO KEEP THIS UP. I LIKE MY CAR BUT I'M VERY UNHAPPY AND FRUSTRATED, PLEASE HELP..THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE "SOME" DOCUMENTATION BUT NOT MUCH, I WAS UNAWARE THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN MYSELF. PLEASE HELP.
