Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF OIL OVER DECREASING AMOUNT OF MILES TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR NOW LOSES 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES (VERIFIED BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER). THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL OUT LEADING TO CARS THAT STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN A CITY AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BAD SPARK PLUGS AND THE CAR WAS BACK ON IT'S WAY, BUT THE CAR IS STILL BURNING THE OIL AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS SITUATION HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS INCIDENT STARTED IN DECEMBER, 2015 AND PERSISTS TO THIS DAY.
