Consumer Description

I HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE PISTONS WERE REPLACED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA AT APPROXIMATELY 117000 MILES. I DROVE THE VEHICHLE AND THE OIL LITE CAME ON; STOPPED AT A REPAIR STATION AND HAD TO ADD 2 QTS OIL. WENT TO HONDA AGAIN TO START OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (WHICH THEY SAY LOSING A QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ''NORMAL' WHICH I SO DISAGREE WITH. THE ENGINE LITE CAME ON, TOOK TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THE CATALYC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (WITH ONLY 120000 MILES NOW). I FOUND OTHER SITES/BLOGS THAT SHOW OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH CAT CONVERTER/OIL CONSUMPTION. I BELIEE THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE FAILURE OF THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER/EMMISSIONS PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER/MYSELF SHOUDL NOT HAVE PAY THIS EXORBAINATE REPAIR COST (OVER $2600 PER HONDA DEALER). I HAVE 2007 CRV WITH APPROX 145000 MILES AND HAVE HAD NO OIL CONSUMPTION OR CATALYIC CONVERTER ISSUE WHICH CONCERNS ME AS I WAS LOOKING TO TRADE IN THE 2007 AND PASS THE 2010 CRV TO MY DAUGHTER AND ACQUIRE A NEW HONDA. BUT, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A NEWERE CRV (2010) HAS SUCH MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT IT IS NOT A QUALITY CAR TO PASS ON TO MY DAUGHTR TO DRIVE AND I AM NOT SURE IF I GET ANOTHER HONDA IF I WILL HAE DEFECTS AND EXCESSIVE OUT OF POCKET COSTS. I WANTED MY HONDA'S TO LAST WITH MINIMUM REPAIRS THAT ARE EXORBINET COSTS.
