2010 HONDA CRV HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM LEADING TO AN ENGINE STALL ON 9/28/17 WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30MPH ON A CITY STREET. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OF AN OIL LEVEL PROBLEM UNTIL THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT. THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE CAR 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND WAS ROUTINELY CHANGED APPROX. EVERY 4K MILES.. THE VEHICLE HAD ALSO BEEN HAVING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTING UP COLD EACH DAY. THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM. THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING HAS NOW ALSO CAUSED AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM (CATALYTIC CONVERTER) AND THE CAR WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS INCLUDING LITIGATION PERTAINING TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL ISSUE AND THE VTC ACTUATOR DEFECT. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER VEHICLE CRASHES/INJURIES/FATALITIES INVOLVING THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES ARE CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLS OR LOSS OR POWER AND FURTHERMORE IF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS THE CAUSE. IF THE VTC ACTUATOR IS CAUSING OR CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. ALSO, DOES EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING INCREASE THE RISK OF ENGINE FIRES IN THESE VEHICLES? IS EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING CAUSING EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILURES AND POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT? A VEHICLE THAT BURNS 4-5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5K MILE OIL CHANGES IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR ANYBODY BUT ESPECIALLY UNSAFE FOR THE ELDERLY AND YOUNG DRIVERS. THE DEFECT WILL CAUSE ENGINE PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS LEADING TO CAR CRASHES, ENGINE FIRES AND VIOLATES EMISSIONS STANDARDS.

THANKFULLY, OUR DAUGHTER DID NOT HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THE FORCE WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS ON THESE AIRBAGS UNTIL WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL LITERALLY THE DAY FOLLOWING HER ACCIDENT. WE WOULD LIKE THE AIRBAG REPLACED IN CASE SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE OUR DAUGHTER DRIVING IN A CAR WITH KNOWN DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.
