I have a 2001 Accord Sedan 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder with 100,000 km. The engine is burning oil at a rate of 1 litre every 1,200 kilometres. I am in a battle with my dealership to get this fixed under warranty, and I have some questions that I hope some of you can help with:

1. Is this a common complaint?
2. What is the likely cause? Defective oil control rings?
3. If the dealer and Honda Canada refuses to fix the problem, can anyone offer advice regarding the repair (i.e. what parts will be needed) etc.

Thanks in advance,
