2015 Honda CR-V: rotors or pads wearing out early

Filed Sep 18, 2019 · Engine · 80,000 miles · CT

In early 2018, around the 80k mileage mark the oil light came on. The car was due for it's oil to be changed, checked the oil level and it appeared dry. Purchased a 5 qt bottle and emptied almost all 5 quarts into the oil tank. The car had been sounding funny for a couple of weeks, but never considered the oil level an issue or the cause of the funny sounds. Once I filled the tank the sound disappeared. Had the oil changed by the dealership 2 days later and commented on the issue. An oil consumption test was recommended. Went back at 1000 miles after the oil change and was told all was fine. Skipped further oil consumption testing at this point. At the next oil change (5k miles later) was told my tank was down nearly 4 quarts. Decided to go through the oil consumption test again. 1st test, down 1 quart 2nd test down 3/4 quart 3rd test down 3/4 quart. Was told by service manager that 1 quart/1000 miles, is considered acceptable my honda standards/policy. A search of the internet revealed that there are many other 2015 honda crv owners with the same complaint with no resolution/satisfaction by honda. This issue with excessive oil consumption may lead to premature wear on engine parts and possible engine fire since dealership can't explain why there is excessive oil being consumed or possibly leaking when on the highway.

Rear rotors rusted, scored and pads frozen in the caliper. $200 to fix. Investigated online and found a very common problem and honda will not stand behind it. Car is always garaged, has average mileage and average vermont conditions. I have owned many cars with rear discs over the years and have never had this problem, nor have friends I have talked to. Honda attributes the rust to mother nature and therefore not covered by warranty. The obvious conclusion is that it is not where I live, rather the quality of the parts. In other words "defective". Trouble is honda knows it and will not stand behind them. And the answer is to replace poor quality parts with new poor quality parts? Nice racket as long as they can get away with it. Am looking to replace parts myself with quality after market parts at a mechanic's suggestion. Will know the job is done right that way. After all brakes, even the rears, are one of the most important parts of any car. If it was just my crv I could live with that. Problem is it's most likely every one sold in vermont. I'm currently dealing with honda corporate about this. Getting the run around as I was told I would. After all, brake failure with average miles and under warranty and it's my fault they rusted in place? At 63 years old all I can say is "just when you think you've seen it all.............you haven't."

There is an issue with the 2015 honda cr-v where the car vibrates and rattles significantly when idling in drive with brake depressed. The RPM seems to drop down to 600 and the engine starts making noise and vibrating. At the present time it is only an inconvenience and irritating but I feel that if this continues them we may be looking at premature wear and tear of parts just due to the excess vibrations. Consumers may be in for huge spends to replace parts that were worn out over the years due to excessive vibrations in the car.
