THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE BEGAN A YEAR AGO. ON 8/15/2015, HONDA OFFERED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PISTON/VCT ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SAYS.."IF THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER FOR AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT INSEPECTED AND, IF NEEDED REPAIRED. PLEASE PLAN TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR TWO FULL DAYS TO ALLOW THEM FLEXIBILITY IN SCHEDULING." THIS QUOTE IS RIGHT FROM THE WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER AND HONDA WILL NOT HONOR THIS WARRANTY. WHAT THEY DO IS MAKE THE CAR HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IF THE CAR IS NOT BURNING MORE THAN A QUART IN 1000 MILES THEY SAY ITS NOT A PROBLEM. HONDA MALL OF GEORGIA CLAIMED MY CAR IS BURNING 3/4 OF A QUART THEREFORE THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. AROUND 7/1/2016, I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT GWINNETT PLACE HONDA. I AM 1000 MILES AWAY FROM HAVING MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND THE "GRINDING" NOISE HIT MY CAR AGAIN. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED AND WAS DOWN TO 2QUARTS OF OIL. I HAD TO ADD TWO QUARTS. BRINGING CAR IN TODAY 9/7/2016 TO START YET ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, YET WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANRTY!!!!! THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO GET NHTSA OFF OF ITS BACK YET WRITES UNWRITTEN RULES THAT PROTECTS THEM FROM FIXING THE ISSUE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS USELESS UNLESS THEY FIX THE ISSUE.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE (16V-346) IN JULY 2016, AND AS IF SEPTEMBER 1, 2016, THE STATUS WAS "RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE."
