Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY CR-V IN FEBRUARY 2018. I COMPLETED MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 6804 MILES IN DECEMBER. THE OIL WAS VERY DARK(BLACK), WATERY, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF FUEL. ISSUES WITH VEHICLE ARE CAUSING AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT AT AN ELEVATION OF 6800 FEET. MY COMMUTE IS SHORT AND IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT. THE CR-V IS STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE DURING THE NIGHT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY WEAR TO MY ENGINE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA IS ONLY GOING TO DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM BUT NOT FIX IT ON FIRST VISIT. THEY SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND NOT MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY'RE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF
