Consumer Description

2018 HONDA CR-V GAS IN THE OIL BEWARE CONSUMERS .... I BOUGHT MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IN JULY.... AFTER MONTHS OF RESEARCH ON WHAT THE BEST SMALL SUV WOULD BE FOR ME TO HAVE IN MY RETIREMENT. MEDIA ARTICLES RAVED ABOUT THIS AUTOMOBILE.... CONSUMER REPORTS CHOSE IT AS THEIR SUV OF THE YEAR .... IT HAD THIS GREAT 1.5 TURBO ENGINE THAT WOULD GET UPWARDS OF 27-33 MPG .... IT WAS A COMPLETE PACKAGE .... MY DREAM RETIREMENT VEHICLE ....... THE DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I THAT OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 7000 MILES OR SO .... MY HUSBAND IS A METICULOUS MECHANIC ... HE CHECKED THE OIL AT 3000 MILES AND FOUND IT A QUART HIGH .... ( HUUMMM... OIL DIES NOT INCREASE .... AND IT REEKED OF GAS..... GAS IN THE OIL? HE STARTED RESEARCHING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CR-V .... AND THINGS STARTED TO REALLY SOUR.... USA HONDA HAS APPARENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CR-V FOR QUITE SOME TIME .... THEY HAVE KEPT IT UNDER THE RADAR.... IN CHINA THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 350,000 CR-V'S AND THEY HAVE STOPPED SALES.... CANADA HAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE... USA HONDA IS CLAIMING IT IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE .... ( FIRST OFF I BOUGHT IT IN JULY AND SECONDLY.... A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER???? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.... AN AWD VEHICLE AT THAT!!!) HONDA IS SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION.... THERE IS NO SOLUTION.... GAS IS SEEPING INTO MY OIL WRECKING THE ENGINE AS I WRITE .... HONDA NEEDS TO STOP SALES.... FESS UP AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR A NEW CR-V WITH THE PREVIOUSLY PROVEN ENGINE.... STAY TUNED! MY HUSBAND FEELS OWNERS OUT THERE ARE NOT AWARE YET BECAUSE MOST DON'T CHANGE THEIR OWN OIL.... AND ALSO MOST DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE MILES IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THIS ENGINE AS HE HAS INDICATED 'THIS CR-V WITH 1.5 TURBO WILL NEVER MAKE 100,000 MILES BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED ...PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO RECALL THESE DISASTERS
