CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Honda CR-V is a fantastic model year with no defect trends except a very minor one for headlight bulbs that need replacing frequently. The average repair cost? $30.
2006 Honda CRV, second one in 14 years, has decided it is exceptionally thirsty for extra oil past month or so. Halfway through 5k oil change oil light comes on, ck oil, its low! two plus quarts low, top oil off, couple days later and less than 50 miles a day, more oil...WTH?
Reviewed several online blogs and http://www.nhtsa.gov/ to find out that the Honda's oil consumption issue is widespread and scarily accepted by Honda.
Dropping CRV off at Dealer this Friday, lets just say that our conversation may not be pleasant.
At this point, my only financial alternative is to scrap the CRV. I am offered $1,400 for an imported engine without warranty which, the vendor tells me, should have around 70000-100000 km. Once they drop the engine, what else will they find.
My Honda dealer is talking in the ballpark of $3,000 for the engine plus plus plus. Honda Canada did not answer any of my calls ( waited on line for 1 hr) and the settlement in the U.S.A. Is not mentioned up north.
