Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Approximately 5 months ago I noticed that the engine was making a slight ticking sound. I checked the oil and it was a quart low so I added a quart. I didn't check it again because I didn't hear that ticking noise again. Approximately 1 month later I took it to Honda in stockton, ca. To have a noise checked that I thought was a brake issue. There was also a noise coming from the front of the car that sounded like something scraping or dragging. When I went to pick it up the man said that it was a quart low and that if I didn't always keep my oil checked then it would void my warranties. …”
