Oil consumption is exaggerated with to obvious observed signs, I.e, no visible leaks, no blue smoke from tailpipe, no smell behind vehicle. Oil needs to be added every ~70 miles as per the dipstick. Engine light will illuminate when oil too low. Car running fine otherwise. Is this happening to others? Respectfully, Careful Driver

I was driving the vehicle on my town's streets around 35 MPH as usual when my vehicle's check engine light started flashing and I was unable to accelerate past 20 MPH. I immediately took the vehicle to the autozone in town and they stated it was an engine misfire. The vehicle was taken to the nearest car repair shop as a honda dealership was over 25 miles away and I was told that it was an engine misfire in cylinder 1. They are still trying to find out what caused the misfire. Why was crv's not included under the class lawsuit with honda?

Vehicle bought new in 2011 and only one owner. In early 2015, my vehicle went from having my oil changed between 5000 and 7000 miles to barely making it to 3000. Vehicle manufacture recommends synthetic oil and is the only type of oil that has ever been used for this vehicle. No oil was leaking form vehicle and no evidence of oil leakage under hood when checked. Oil changed multiple times with same result. Information was received from honda regarding extension on warranty due to possible high oil consumption & was stated that oil consumption test could be completed at honda dealership. Honda dealership began test in october 2015 and was completed in february 2016. .8 quarts used after first 1000 miles, 1quart used after 2000miles and .8quarts after 3000miles. After each check, 1 quart oil was added by honda dealership. After third check, I was told by service manager that this did not honda specifications to warrant rebuild to correct problem in engine causing high oil consumption. Was told that this was not normal but vehicle was still safe to drive. In fall 2016, I contacted dealership again regarding issue & also had two lights (check engine light & traction light) come on at the same time. Honda agreed to complete another oil consumption test & check lights. Was told that timing chain had been stretched and needed to be replaced. Honda service manager would not confirm that timing chain was stretched due to high oil consumption even though research & other mechanics suggest otherwise. Honda corporation was contacted multiple times & will not comply with returning calls, answering questions, etc. Different answers are given from different people within honda (honda corporation & dealership). Was told that car should not be driven until timing chain fixed, but oil consumption test can not be done if vehicle not driven?

Excessive oil consumption. Check engine light came on and vehicle required 2 quarts of engine oil. Vehicle only has 62,000 miles on it. Honda claims that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is normal oil consumption!

On 15 november 2014 at 9:09pm my check engine light came on, I have a garmin GPS hooked into my computer and this unit can read the diagnostic codes. The code for this check engine light occurrence was a (p2422). The problem I have with this is that this car is 3.5 years old and has 91k miles on it and this is the 6th (yes sixth) time for this failure. This code has to do with the emissions/fuel system. The car has been to 2 different dealerships to be resolved and is still not resolved. I am again taking it to the dealership for this occurrence but am running out of warranty and patience. This car has also been through 4 batteries, a water pump, fuel pump and all power steering components replaced. The message associated with code p2422 is "evaporative emission system vent valve stuck closed". Is there anyone else out there fighting these issues that can give me any insight??
