Excessive oil burning - vehicle has less than 100K miles is burning oil. No dipstick reading for oil in engine (for every 3,000 miles driven). Car pings and no or little power from engine due to oil loss. Dealer test stated 1/2qt of oil used every 1,000 miles. Typical Honda oil change is every, 7,500 miles (per their manual) - if waited that long no oil would be in engine. Dangerous and significant issue - Honda stated it will not fix and stated 1/2 qt of oil burned every 1,000 miles is not excessive or significant !! - from a car owner, it is very significant. Compound this with the months and months wait for the takata recall for air bags issue - the Honda 2010 CRV has significant issues. I have a co-worker that has a 2010 Acura with 300,000 miles and oil loss issues.
