Description of the problem | Ran premium gas only and changed oil twice as often as recommended but recently (4/2019) checked oil and it read way above full, looked almost clear after 1500 miles, and smelled strongly of gas again. I noticed the car was accelerating slower and slower than when new. Read up on gas in oil problems with this car and saw that honda offered no fix for cars in the state where i live and dealerships apparently deny there is gas in the oil. I was concerned after reading about engines stalling, which of course they will do with gas in the crankcase, honda did recall work on this car that involved changing the oil but not the filter which is ridiculous and which doesn't even begin to address this huge engine problem. I believe this is a potential safety issue because of the risk of the car potentially losing power and/or stalling in freeway traffic. Honda has not only not fixed this problem, they continue to sell these cars with engine defects even after they have known about it since 2017. |
