My 2010 honda cr-v is burning excessive engine oil. Engine oil runs very low causing poor acceleration. Oil needs to be added weekly to fix the problem. Engine oil should not be burning this quickly. Clearly something is wrong.

Hesitation on hot days: from a standstill attempting to merge with traffic on a hot day can be dangerous. The car hesitates and then accelerates at a rate far slower than normal even with the accelerator pushed to the floor. Car has been taken to two dealers, with no positive results. This happens daily on hot days.

My 2010 honda crv has an oil consumption problem. The dealer finds it consumes 1 quart per 1500 miles. Because of this it does not meet the criteria for repair under the extended warranty. The oil light never comes on despite being critically low on oil. I have gone through the oil consumption test twice now and also appealed through honda. Because i am not burning 1 quart per 1000 miles they will not do the repair.…

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…

Vehicle makes a grinding or coughing sound at start-up. It did not do this when bought used in 2012. Now at about 98000 miles. Start-up noise happens every time car starts. Engine turns over, but takes a long time to actually start. It sounds like it won't start, but it does each time. I called honda, they said noise did not affect engine operation, so they would not fix it. I am fearful of engine damage or failure…

Acceleration. My 2010 honda crv loses power and stalls. It will not accelerate at times. I am afraid to pull out onto the road. I bought it two months ago. It only has 110,000 on it. I took it to a certified honda dealer and they said it was the timing chain. They also said there were a lot of other parts that i would need to replace with the timing chain. It totaled almost $2000.00. It seems like a lot of other…

Excess oil consumption. Need to add 1 plus quarts of oil per 1,000 miles. Oil indication light does not appear when there is no oil on the dip stick. This first started to happen at around 100,000 miles (8/2017) and continues to do so. Must constantly check and add oil to engine. I am the original owner and have always used top-tier gasoline and i am also a very gentle drive.

This vehicle started burning oil early in 2017. It burns between 1.8 and .66 quarts per 1000 miles (based on honda's own test, attached). Honda told us this is "normal" and that we should replenish the oil every time we fill the gas tank. This is unacceptable. No vehicle should "burn" oil at that rate. It is both a liability to the owner and a detriment to the environment. Honda knows there is a problem (recall) and…

For at least 50,000 miles, my 2010 crv seemed to be burning oil in between oil changes. In about 2000 mile into the oil change, i'd notice my oil light come on or hear something was not right. Then, i'f check the oil and it was a quarter low. But, there was no oil on the ground anywhere i parked. So it was not leaking oil. I kept thinking it was my imagination. I kept looking for recalls to ensure there was no…

I had taken my car to my local honda dealership in 2015 to check for oil leak since the oil light would come on between oil changes. They did not find any leaks and said the car was working as normal. I experienced the problem again in 2016 2 months after an oil change the light came on again. I goggled it and found that my car was subject to an extended warranty for the issue until 8 years or 125k miles. I…

The first time we became aware of any issue was around 3/3/16 (64224mi) when we started hearing engine/muffler noise and we mentioned it when we brought car in for airbag replacement. By 7/21/16 (67233mi) we were hearing very strong motor noises and the car began to drive very rough. When we took it in they advised us we were 3qts low. From the last oil change at 60742mi that amounts to 1.0qt/2164mi. They told us we…

Engine stalls while driving time to time. It lasts a few minutes. The problem was reported to a dealer after purchasing the car (new). Honda dealers cannot find the cause of the problem. Recently i found a youtube video that shows that it is a common problem in honda and that the cause is a faulty ignition key part. If it is true, then honda must recall it to fix the problem. It must be investigated since many honda…

The engine makes a rattling (grinding) noise during cold starts. The noise only occurs when the weather is cold <50 degrees f and only when the engine is cold. The noise does not occur when the weather is warm and the engine is warm. The noise is most likely stemming from the vtc actuator.

In august of 2015 honda issued a warranty extension notification for sticking piston rings resulting in high engine oil consumption. In 2015 i began to add oil in-between required oil changes and reported the condition to manchester honda in july. The rate is approximately 1qt/2,500 miles. Honda agrees this is 'abnormal' but that the rate does not meet the 'excessive' consumption required to be covered under the…
