A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
My car is a 2009 Honda Civic. I bought it as a certified pre-owned vehicle from a dealership with $15K miles on it.
Around 1 year ago, I started having to add oil between oil changes. I first noticed the problem when the oil light flashed at me while I was slowing down to a red light. I would have to add about 1 quart every 1500 miles.
In January 2017, I noticed on my drive home from work that the car was making a loud noise when accelerating, and was not handling as it usually did. Same as when I first discovered the problem, while stopping at a red light the oil light flashed at me.
I checked my oil when arriving home, and there was no oil on the dipstick! I added 2 quarts. Driving to work the next day (about a 15 mile trip), the car stalled twice. When arriving at work, it stalled for the last time and would not restart. It was diagnosed as a broken motor.
I am no longer covered my any manufacturer's warranty that I know of - but I think it is ridiculous that a Honda Civic - which is supposed to have a good reputation - that is less than 10 years old, well under 100K miles, and that has been properly maintained would have this problem. Honda ought to have a solution that will prevent me from having to pay $3K - $5K out of pocket for repairs.
