Description of the problem | I was pulling into traffic in clearfield, pa barely escaped getting hit by a dump truck when the car practically stopped. I got to the berm of the highway, the car would not go over 4 mph. I got to a parking lot and put it in park, tried drive and reverse, the car would not go over 4 mph. I shut it off for a few minutes, restarted it and it drove ok. Upon hearing of the earth dream engine issue, i had oil checked at an auto zone, oil level was about 1/4 inch up on the actual metal on the dipstick and smelled strongly of gas. Called honda america, was accused of driving with one foot on the gas and one on the brake. Called the dealer where i purchased the car, preston honda in new castle pa, service manager dan said they never heard of gas being in the oil and maybe i did have "one foot on the gas and one and the brake thinking i was driving a stick shift". I had driven to a conference lewisburg, pa, after finding someone to finally admit there was a problem, and the car still in warranty,it was towed to the nearest honda dealership in muncy, pa where the oil was changed and the overfill and gas in oil was documented. After 500 miles the oil chamber is once again overfill with a smell of gas. I had the oil changed again today (905 miles), where preston honda in new castle pa continues to deny any known issues, refuses to document the oil chamber being overfull and will only document a mild gas smell. This is extremely dangerous. How do i know which trip will be my last when i either get killed or cause someone else to be killed in a terrible automobile accident when the car once again stalls in traffic. I have documentation of all oil changes since the car, i have attached those which have documentation of problem. |
