“OIL LEVELS IN CAR ARE ABOVE THE DIPSTICK AND SMELL LIKE PETROLEUM HAS LEAKED INTO THE OIL. THE FIX THAT HONDA INTRODUCED FOR THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE HAS CLEARLY NOT WORKED. INSIDE OF CAR HAS A PETROLEUM SMELL. MAKES ME LIGHTHEADED/DIZZY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY - STOP THE CAR AND AIR IT OUT. THERE WAS NOT ACCIDENT, BUT THIS CONTINUE ISSUE CAN CAUSE A MAJOR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING ACCIDENT, INJURY AND DEATH.”
