IN APRIL OF 2016, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I HEARD THE FAN STILL RUNNING. I ALSO SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. FOLLOWING ADVICE FROM A MECHANIC, I CHECKED THE FLUIDS TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS NO ANTIFREEZE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO REPAIR SHOPS. BOTH PUT A PRESSURE TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS HOLDING PRESSURE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I TOLD THEM THAT I SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE BUT DID NOT SEE ANY LEAKING UNDER THE CAR. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK SO THEY COULD HAVE MORE TIME TO ANALYZE THE COMPLAINT. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LONER CAR FOR THREE DAYS. WHEN THEY COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED AN ENGINE, I WAS DEVASTATED. WHEN I PURCHASED THE AUTO, IN HAD 22,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME IT HAD ABOUT 80,000. I PURCHASED THE AUTO OCTOBER 2011. MY THOUGHTS WERE, THIS IS UNHEARD OF. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IT HAS NEVER RUN HOT WITH ME. I HAVE RECORDS OF THE MAINTENANCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTO THAT WAS NOT REPORTED ON CAR FACTS THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, I HAD TO REQUEST THAT THEY STABILIZE THE FLOOR CARPET. THAT CONCERNED ME. WHY WAS THE OLD REMOVED AND NEW INSTALLED. WHEN POSING THAT QUESTION, I WAS TOLD THAT MORE-THAN-LIKELY IT WAS SOILED BEYOND CLEANING. BUT THAT IS MINOR COMPARED TO HAVING TO PURCHASE AN ENGINE FOR AN VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO ENDURE THRU 300,000+ MILES DURING ITS LIFE. SOMEONE IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL. I NOTIFIED CARL HOGAN THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM HIS DEALERSHIP AND I WILL DO MY PART TO ENSURE THAT THOSE I COME IN CONTACT WITH REFRAIN AS WELL, EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER CITY OR STATE. NOW, I MUST SPEND A MINIMUM OF 2,500 TO REBUILD THE ENGINE OR UP TO 4,500 TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE.

IN REGARDS TO HONDA SAFETY RECALL JN9. WARRANTY EXTENSION: STICKING PISTONS RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA. STARTING BACK IN DECEMBER 28 2015. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THAT LASTED 3,000 MILES ON THE ROAD AND HAD ME COME IN EVERY 1000 MILES OF THOSE 3K MILES. EVERY OIL CONSUMPTION EVALUATION AT THE DESIGNED MARK IS BURNING THROUGH 1.2 QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THEY CLAIM THAT IS STANDARD FOR THE CAR TO BURN THAT MUCH OIL. MY OLD 2003 V8 GMC YUKON DOES NOT BURN ANY OIL AT ALL. JUT LAST WEEK ON JULY 19TH 2016 MY OIL ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY (DEALER) TOP ME OFF WITH ANOTHER 1.2 QT OF OIL OFF THE RECORDS. NO SERVICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. I DO NOT BELIEVE A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE SHOULD USE THAT MUCH OIL UNLESS INDEED THE PISTON RINGS ARE STICKING.. PLEASE HELP!

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT NOTED ON HOW MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE AND HONDA DEALERSHIP IS USING THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND ASK THAT I HAVE 3/4 OF A QUART OF OIL CONSUMPTION BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WHICH IS SO UNREALISTIC.
