NHTSA Complaint #11302498 — 2019 HONDA CR-V

2019 HONDA CRV-OIL DILUTION CAUSING OIL LEVEL TO RISE-CAUSED CAR TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE". INVOICE ATTACHED. I HAVE A 2019 HONDA CRV WITH ONLY 3196 MILES ON IT. ON 1/24/20, I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION! I PUT THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING! THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND ME AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. I AND EVERYONE DRIVING AROUND ME WERE LUCKY, AS IT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A LARGE PILE UP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CATASTROPHIC REPERCUSSIONS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY "OIL DILUTION CAUSING ELEVATED OIL LEVEL"..."FOULED PLUGS AND MISFIRE CODES"..."OIL VERY THIN VERY DARK AND SMELLED". THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT OCCURRED IN PRIOR YEARS CRVS! THE HONDA TECH LINE DIDN'T HAVE A FIX FOR 2019S YET SO ADVISED THE DEALER TO CHANGE MY OIL AND REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND AM STUCK IN A LEASE FOR 2 1/2 MORE YEARS. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY WERE DOING FOR THIS, EXCEPT TO TELL ME THAT NO NOTICE IS EVER SENT TO OWNERS OF A CAR UNTIL A FIX IS FOUND. THAT IS FRIGHTENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SELL THEM WHILE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION EXISTS.
