What owners wrote
I am filing a report due to oil that was leaked onto the exhaust system of my car and resulted in my car catching on fire. This damage has been attributed to oil filter gaskets that have not been properly removed. I have contacted honda, and they have only offered to provide me with a letter explaining that it is best to have my oil change at their dealership. I feel it is a manufacture defect to have a car model that is prone to oil filter gaskets sticking, only to result in oil leakages and finally car fires.
The oxygen sensor on my 2002 honda crv failed to work and LED to the check-engine light on. It failed at around 45,000 miles. According to the manufacture the oxygen sensor was not supposed to fail at this low miles. The replacement from honda dealer cost me $500.
