Description of the problem | This complaint is related to my vehicle diluting the oil with unburnt gasoline and creating fuel odors in the cabin as well as premature engine wear.. My vehicle now has ~ 15000 miles and has just completed its 3rd oil change. Each oil change has recorded on the service order the drained oil amount and each time the fluid level was larger then what was filled at the prior oil change. The last change the dealership recorded 17 oz more fluid then what went in, this was all gasoline. This is resulting in gasoline odors in the cabin which are creating an unsafe environment for my passengers and myself. It seems highly likely that accumilating gasoljne vapors in the interior of the vehicle pose both a health hazard and a possible fire or explosion risk . Honda has acknowledged there is a oil dilution problem with these vehicles but rejects the notion that the byproducts of this design flaw, namely the accumulating gas vapors pose any safety risk at all. Since honda has not remedied this flaw i am asking that this transportation organization investigate these claims for validity and instruct them to correct this health, and safety risk as well as the premature or accelerated wear of my engine due to this acknowledged flaw. |
