2018 HONDA CR-V Engine Problems

I first noticed an issue with my car on October 16th. ALL the dashboard lights came on as if the car had a new battery while I was driving. My Honda dealership said: Explanation: fuel system too rich due to faulty fuel injectors. Repairs to be completed: replace fuel injectors, gaskets, spark plugs All suggested repairs were done because I need a car The cost, $2,557.28 I filed a case with Honda Corporate and they said it was due to my car's age and linked to maintenance. I've always had my CRV serviced at Honda dealerships and my car is only a 2018.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact’s son stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle made a loud screeching sound. The contact then noticed that the engine skid plate had detached. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to reattach the skid plate; however, the contact stated that the failure persisted the following day. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact expressed concerns that the vehicle was hazardous and unsafe to drive after the skid plate detached, which occurred following a recent oil change. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was not available.

Blown head gasket leaked coolant in to cylinder. all warning alarms started rotating across dash, while all driver assist technology was also disabled. car then lost ability to accelerate, but kept running, and we were able to drive about one mile home at about 10mph. We towed car to Honda (it was always maintained by a honda dealership). Honda dealership confirmed blown gasket and replaced gasket and then injectors for $7,600 total repair bill. We did not see or receive the replaced parts. We have since learned that Honda is well aware of this particular design fault of their 1.5 engines from 2016 thru 2023 years. Even independent mechanics know of the trouble, as well as any internet search. we were totally unaware til now!

My 2018 CRV 1.5L turbo with 70,000 mi. I have replaced the turbocharger high pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump twice AC compressor The radio display keeps changing by itself every warning light in the display has popped on several times all at once, all this within a 6-month period also car lost power when diving on highway.

The engine and cooling system failed. Coolant is leaking into the engine, causing misfires, loss of power, and potentially leading to complete engine failure. The vehicle is currently at Zimbrick Honda in Madison, WI, and the engine is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle suddenly lost power while driving in traffic on multiple occasions. Each time, the vehicle slowed down unexpectedly and could not accelerate, creating a risk of being rear-ended, losing control in traffic flow, or becoming stranded in an active traffic lane. This sudden loss of power posed a serious danger to me and other drivers around me. Zimbrick Honda, an authorized Honda dealership, inspected the vehicle and confirmed coolant intrusion into the engine, repeated misfires, and loss of power. Their diagnosis concluded that the engine has failed and must be replaced. The vehicle has been inspected by the authorized Honda dealership (Zimbrick Honda). American Honda reviewed my goodwill assistance request using the dealership’s diagnosis, but no separate manufacturer inspection was conducted. The vehicle has not been inspected by the police or insurance because no collision occurred. It remains at the dealership and is available for inspection. Before the complete engine failure, the vehicle experienced sudden loss of power, engine hesitation, and misfires. The check engine light appeared during the incidents. The first occurrence happened on August 19th, 2025, at approximately 109,356 miles.

On June 6, 2025 I brought my vehicle(2018 HONDA CRV EX ) to a Honda Dealership due to the vehicle rough idiling. The mechanics said the third solenoid is failing due to coolant being mixed with the engine fluid. Quoted $7496.00 “just to start”. Also stated the radiator would need to be replaced due to this issue and head gasket. Mind you I purchased This vehicle 12 months prior. I took it to a different repair shop for a second opinion but the other mechanic agreed with Honda Dealership regarding repair needs.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while attempting to use the remote start, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle had to be started manually, and once started, the parking brake, air bags, check engine, TPMS, and the Service Vehicle warning lights were illuminated. The failure was intermittent; however, the warning lights occasionally illuminated while driving at various speeds or while idling. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to sincerely request your understanding and support regarding my vehicle repair. My car to Union Park Honda for the fuel pump recall repair, which was completed under the recall service. However, shortly after that, I was informed that my vehicle now has a head gasket problem, which requires a very expensive repair. Unfortunately, I am currently facing a very difficult financial situation, and it is not possible for me to cover this cost at the moment. This situation has been emotionally and financially challenging for me. I truly appreciate Honda’s care and commitment to its customers, and I am humbly requesting if there is any way the dealership could provide some financial assistance,any special consideration to help me with this repair. Your compassion and understanding would mean a lot to me. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Due to a faulty 1.5 engine, the head gasket prematurely failed which could have led to serious engine failure while driving, and an accident could have occurred, if the car had suddenly stopped while being driven. There were several warning lamps, but the warning lamps on this car sometimes go off for no reason and the car was not overheating. I assumed the car was just acting up again. When I let the car sit for a couple of days and the warning lamps were still on, I took the care to a service center where they diagnosed the problem. Honda is aware of the faulty 1.5 engine, but have not issued a recall. Replacement of the head gasket will be over $4,000.

I brought my vehicle to a Honda dealership for a recall repair for the fuel pump and it was observed that the vehicle was leaking coolant and oil. The mechanic determined that the head gasket needs to be replaced and this is documented and available for review. There were no warning lights or noticeable clues that there was a major engine malfunction occurring. If not for the recall repair it is likely the motor would have failed causing catastrophic damage from the head gasket issue. The repair is expensive and necessary to continue driving the vehicle. This engine failure is not typical of a honda product and was unexpected.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with a recent engine failure in my 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD (VIN: [XXX] ), which occurred despite meticulous maintenance my CR-V experienced a coolant leak through the head gasket, leading to a misfire on cylinder 3 (diagnostic code P0303). Repairs at Heritage Honda in Bel Air, MD, included replacing the head gasket, spark plugs, injectors, and other components, totaling over $6,300. This significant expense for a well-maintained vehicle is disheartening, especially given Honda’s reputation for reliability.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to exceed 9 MPH before the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who retrieved DTC: P0087 (High-Pressure Fuel Pump failure). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The fuel pump was replaced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V215000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was called, but there was no response. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Shortly after purchasing car I started getting all the error messages showing after I started the car and they would remain on sometimes it repeatedly happened. I brought it up to dealer several times during and in addition to maintenance and they told me it was not something they could replicate and found no issues. I was told it was the battery but it still happened after battery was replaced. On 07/17/25, with only 137000 miles on the vehicle, the error messages all came on again and the vehicle stalled at a stoplight. It would not shift into gear. Vehicle was towed where they had to replace engine valve cover gasket and the timing chain. The replaced parts listed: RTV gasket, cam chain tensioner, tensioner filter, 2 cam chain tensioner arms, cam chain guide, VTC EX actuator assy, VTC IN actuator assy, flange bolt, cam chain guide B, oil seal, chain, and and new oil. I know this is a known issue with the engine in this model and not an uncommon issue that Honda has refused to admit.

The 1.5L turbo engine in my 2018 Honda CR-V is experiencing oil dilution. Raw fuel mixes with the engine oil, lowering flashpoint and thinning viscosity. This creates a fire risk, loss of lubrication, accelerated engine wear, and potential stalling. Honda issued TSBs, but the problem persists. This is a serious safety defect.

A few weeks ago, my vehicle suddenly turned off at a stop light. For several weeks, it’s been feeling like it’s being forced to take off. Today, the car struggled to turn on and then turned off and all the lights came on. It happened three times. A year ago, I received a recall letter that the fuel pump needed to be replaced and that I would be notified when the parts arrived. When my car starting having issues, my mechanic said it might be the fuel pump. I contacted Honda to replace it and they said the recall had been closed. Now I’m having these issues with my vehicle and I’ve read online about it happening to several people who have owned 2018 Honda CRVs.

The head gasket blew at 83,000 miles. Costing me over 4,500 to fix.

When vehicle starts it shakes for a few seconds then is fine. When I drive and give it gas my car stutters and feels like it wants to shut off. On the highway with acceleration the check engine light comes on blinking and the car loses power. The codes read misfire I replaced the sparks plugs and coils 4 time already just for it to do it again a couple months later. I read this is a common problem and unsafe Honda needs to do something

Fuel injector failure, resulted in engine misfires, running fuel rich, and reduced power. Reduced power and loss of safety features such as anti-lock brakes, stability assist, ACC, AEB, FCA, and LKA the safety of myself and other drivers are negatively affected. My Honda Dealer and 3rd party shop diagnosed the issue. All warning lights started to appear in November 2024 and disappear intermittently.

Driving the car and it lasked power to drive.I could not accelerate. Check the codes code said it was a Turbo issue called dealership.Got an appointment. Dealership says it's the turbo and it's twenty seven hundred dollars to repair.

Driving i would lose all power like inwas out of gas. Would let it sit for a few minutes and it would run normally for a while then stall on the side of the road. Happened 2 times on the interstate and one on a back road.

In April 2025 my CRV had issues with acceleration. The speed reduced all of a sudden and car couldn't go more than 5 mph, so I took it to the repiar shop. The mechanic told me that cylinder #2 misfired. He replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coil. A few days later after driving for a few miles "Stop driving when safe, engine temperature too Hot" sign came up. I stopped driving immidiately and got the car towed to the repair shop. After testing the car the mechanic told me that the head gasket leaked and the coolant is mixing with the lubricant. He told me that there is damage to the engine so the engine need to be replaced. I was driving with kids in the car and I believe it compromised the safety of my family when the speed came down all of a sudden on the road and the car stopped accelerating.

Vehicle threw codes P0172 and P219e. Vehicle was sluggish and idled rough. All lights on the dash flashed and showed that most safety systems were disabled. Vehicle was taken to Honda service center and confirmed by the dealer. Dealer replaced the fuel injectors. Vehicle was less than a year out of warranty for this specific issue. This seems to be a common issue with this model of vehicle as the service center had the same model with the same issue that day.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the vehicle went into LIMP Mode while attempting to accelerate. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated during the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was coasted to the side of the road, and the contact waited for a while before continuing to drive. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Fuel Pump recall completed at McGrath Honda, St. Charles IL., on Monday 2/3/2025. Never had any issues with car since purchase in 2019. Since Fuel Pump recall I have had an additional 3 visits. Car has a rumble and shaking when starting. Revisit on 4/1 shop found no problems all inspections checkout out. Once again car still rubles and shakes when starting. On [XXX] my 17 year old was driving, all emergency lights came on, gas pedal stopped working, (This is a vital safety concern for a gas pedal to stop working) and car overheated. Car required another shopping and upon inspection again no issues identified. On [XXX] again all warning lights activated, car rumbles/ shakes upon starting. Car returned to shop where faulty oring on fuel pump was identified and changed. All warning lights cleared and car returned. On [XXX] Car rumbles when starting, all warning lights active and car speed is limited. Car will be shopped for 5th service in 3.5 months since Honda Fuel Pump recall. No other major shop events in car since prior since 2018. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Head Gasket Problem The Engine would have rough starts occasionally for about 20 seconds then drive normal. Started about 1 month intermittently until diagnosis and most likely misfire. Vehicle has been inspected by two Honda dealerships stating coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 and has a sticking fuel injector with burn oil on dipstick due to low coolant. Oil change interval between time of symptoms and diagnosis was normal. The last start caused engine codes to appear and when the idle smoothed out the vehicle would only drive about 10 mph until restarted. Safety of not being able to start the engine reliably and not knowing the mph limitations after a misfire when trying to enter a road was a concern for safety.

Honda CRV in it’s first signs failed to start. Vehicle ignition would fail to function, there was no respond. I had to shut off for 15 minutes then tried initiating, it would start as if nothing happened. I thought this was due to a battery/electrical issue. At times I thought it would not turn on and I would be left stranded where I was. Second issues began with Honda CRV not responding to gear changes, it would shake in the middle of the road, in between trips. I was praying this was not the transmission. Did have this repaired since I would regularly keep up it’s maintenance and no further damage was announced by dealership. In the scariest of events, Honda CRV stopped in the middle of freeway! Car began to shut off, would not advance further and completely lost power. I had to safely move to the side of the road, exiting freeway very frigthtened. Only warnings signs I had other than the unfortunate events mentioned above, where vehicle failed to operate. It was the last 2 or 3 times I took my vehicle for scheduled maintenance. I began to get information from service center about extremely costly repairs my Honda CRV vehicle needed. There were no other lights, messages or warnings on vehicle dashboard. I automatically though the repairs recommended were an intent to charge me more than needed. I also did not have the amount of money required for the costly the repairs. I did receive a safety recall repair notice on or before behinning of 2024. Around January/February then again January 2025 regarding an “Important Safety Recall.” I do not know why parts had a “limited availability,” if this was “IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL” why then did this take so long to be properly attended? The letter does state that “safety consequences” of not repairing could cause engine issues. Prevent engine from starting, cause vehicle to loose drive power or stall while driving, increasing risk of crash or injury. Please help me with this issue. Thank you in advance for reading.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while at a stoplight, the vehicle shut off. The contact was unaware of any warning lights being illuminated before the failure. There was an abnormal odor of fumes entering the vehicle. The vehicle was able to be restarted. Additionally, the vehicle was not achieving the MPG on the Monroney Label. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

This is with reference to 23V-858. I own a Honda Cr-v 2018 model. I got first notice about open recall of Fuel Pump module back in December 2023 follow by couple of other reminders but whenever I called Honda dealership, they said part is not available. It's been more than a year now, I got another notice that part is available and to call any Honda dealership to schedule a repair. But now when I called my nearby Honda service centers, they don't have a date available for appointment in next 30 days. I am really worried of driving it further as this looks to be an issue with Fuel pump or engine. Pelase help me file a complaint against Honda for this inconvenience and help me get this repair done asap.

Actual recall still not done , since 2023

There is a recall of fuel pump replacement on Dec 18, 2023. I approached Lehigh Valley Honda for repair and they are saying I need to be on wait list. The CRV is stalling and stopping on highway while driving,need to be fixed ASAP before any accident

On 10/28 I received a phone call from my son stating he was trying to head home when he left his parking spot and the car would no go over 10 mph and all system alerts came on. He drove the car a couple yard and then parked it. I told him to stay there and I’d be there in 10 mins. He called a few minutes later to say the car was now acting fine. I told him to stay there because we would take the car to the dealership and leave it to be checked out the next day. I have made multiple attempts to get the fuel pump replaced to no avail. I keep being told by the dealership that the part is not available and they would call when it becomes available. I have called at least four different times to address this issue. My son drives this car down a four lane highway with a speed limit of 60mph. It has been concerning to me that the fuel pump may fail and a tractor trailer may come upon him and cause a crash due to the lag of our vehicle. I have also taken the car to the dealership and left it overnight because all the alerts come on and cycle through. I receive a call the next day from the dealership who is unable to recreate the issue. As a result of the recall and cycling of system messages, I believe the fuel pump to be the issue since symptoms aligned with the recall. I was informed two days later the issue was the head gasket and I was informed it would be better to replace the entire engine. I’ve since read all of the concerns with the 1.5 liter turbo engines and believe the faulty design created this safety hazard. I submitted a case to Honda on 10/30 and have been contacting them since in an effort to resolve the issue. On Thursday 11/14 I asked that the case be escalated and have yet to have anyone from Honda contact me. I have contacted them at least 10 times over the past three weeks with absolutely no response.

Unknown My car wasn’t getting any gas stuck in traffic. Have complained to the dealership about the recall and the problem I was having I was given the run around about replacing the fuel pump

Issue: Car loses power while driving. Event: Started car, drove down a hill about 1.5 miles. Tried to accelerate, lost all power, CEL started blinking. Limped car to safe location but could not accelerate over 5 mph. Next start, all vehicle warning lights flashing on dashboard. Code reader threw a P0310, P0300 (engine misfire). Problem reproduced/confirmed by independent service center. Preliminary diagnostics (swapped ignition coils and spark plugs 1&2 to 3&4, reinspected, misfires still on 1&2) suggesting possible fuel injector faults. Recommended working with Honda directly for further diagnostics because fuel injectors are replaced as an assembly and often require programming by a dealer, also problem seems similar to recall issue. Concern: Vehicle has 42,000 miles; fuel injectors should not fail at this mileage. Received a Honda safety recall letter in February 2024 NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858/Honda Campaign number KGC. Called Honda after unsafe driving event (loss of power while driving). Honda stated that the recall for my VIN was rescinded. However, the problem seems very likely related to this recall.

While driving on highway , I attempted to accelerate to pass , as I did all warning lights came on and I lost ability to accelerate. The car went into “limp mode “ . Took it to local mechanic, the to Honda dealer . I was told I need a new engine , at a cost of over $16k .

Took it to mechanic and diagnosis was two failed fuel injectors. Vehicle is less than 6 years old and has 95,000 miles on it.

Blown cylinder head gasket required replacement by dealership. Per the dealership, the car displayed failure codes P0302 and P0303. Dealership covered 80% of the cost as "good will" but also mentioned this is a "known issue." The Check Engine Light had displayed just prior to the gasket failure. A day prior my wife and son described the vehicle as "shaking" when the car started (likely related to the engine misfiring as indicated by the P0302 and P0303 error codes found by the dealer) Safety was at risk as wife was driving vehicle when the gasket failed - resulting in a loss of power to the engine and a potential risk for an accident in traffic. Luckily the problem happened less than a quarter mile away from our home and my wife was able to navigate traffic back to our home at a low rate of speed.

While driving on the interstate the engine lost power and entered some sort of limp or low power mode. There were no warnings or indications of any problems on the dashboard. I was in heavy traffic at the time and suddenly a risk to others on the road and myself as the vehicle slowed dramatically despite my attempts to keep up with the flow of traffic. I had the dealer look at the vehicle and they indicated that the headgasket was in the early stages of failing. They indicated that the low power mode was due to engine misfires due to coolant in the combustion chamber. They did not have any explanation as to why a malfunction indicator light was not set nor did a light ever set. No check engine lights, no messages on the driver instrumentation display.

The vehicle began running rough Spring 2023 and all the lights on the dashboard lit up. The local mechanic did not identify any serious problem and the lights all going off seemed to be a separate issue since the whole dashboard was lit up. We continued driving it out of necessity and eventually it began stalling. Then we took it back to our mechanic who identified the fuel injectors as the issue and recommended that we take it to the dealership. We took it to the dealership and they charged $3000 for the fuel injector replacement and also did some minor recall repairs. When my husband drove it off the lot, it stalled again so he brought it back and identified that it still was not repaired. They then kept it for 2-3 more weeks and repaired the head gasket. We took it home and drove it for another 6 mths and then it stalled again when my husband was driving at 65mph on a bridge. He safely pulled over but the vehicle had trouble restarting as it had in Spring of 2023 from time to time when it was riding rough. This time there were no warning lights related to the issue. The dash now has some warning lights. We have not driven it since and the part for the fuel pump from Honda is not available until Fall 2024 so we are without a vehicle even though we paid for a new vehicle that we hoped would last us beyond 6 years.

The car quit suddenly while picking up my child at school and would not start. Had to be towed to the honda dealership due it not running. No warning sign of it having any problems, nothing. This qas February 13th and has been sitting therr for over a month now. I have contacted the Honda service department twice and they can not give me an ETA on when my car will be fixed or when the fue pump will arrive and if that is the only thing wrong with my car. This is our main vehicle, I do have a courtesy car to drive but I am making car payments on a car that is not functioning.

It is terrifying and unacceptable that they announce a fuel pump recall and then tell drivers to wait basically a year to they maybe get the part. Ticking time bomb. This is an addendum to some folks who already had a near catastrophe or worse because this company was negligent. Is anyone filing any lawsuits yet? My vin: [XXX] Can someone get back to me with a safety proposition because Honda has failed. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the engine; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was contacted, and case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Mileage: 130,000

Initially we had check engine light on and we felt that the car had difficulty to start after stopped at traffic light. We had to restarted the engine to solve the stall problem. We took the car to a mechanic and he changed oxygen sensor and spark plugs but the problem came back. Then we received the recall letter realized it was exactly the same problem we had. The mechanic re-examined the car and confirmed that fuel pump was the problem. The recall letter told us to wait for replacement. Since we did not have another car we had to use it. On February 16, the situation became worse. We almost ran into crash on high way 95. The check engine light kept flashing and the car seemed to lose power in the middle of high way. We managed to pull over. It was very scary and it was lucky to avoid any harm in this incident.. Talking to Honda service was not helpful. They insisted on us to pay diagnosis fee of $195 to do the evaluation and tried to deny the third-party mechanic's opinion. We lost trust of their objectivity to do a fair check.

On my way home, the car began to tremble and make a very strange noise. I couldn't stop because I was on the highway, the next day all the lights car on the dashboard were on, I dropped my car on the dealer and still is there,.

My vehicle stalled out while driving on the highway, with all electrical components going haywire and the vehicle stopped accelerating or maintaining speed. After being towed 61 miles, my mechanic says that it is not making a loud noise when he tries to test-drive it, had no power, and returned MANY error codes, including one for the turbo. Mechanic believes that the turbo failed and triccered all electrical systems to go haywire. Honda dealership service tech confirms (without commitment, as they did not personally examine it) that the mechanics explanation makes sense and my experience describes what would happen if the turbo failed. In addition to putting me in an unsafe situation on the highway, this malfunction may end up costing me thousands between parts, labor, and towing costs. Research on the problem tells me this has happened to many other 2017-2017 CRV owners and Honday has simply failed to address the issue. UNACCEPTABLE.

Sudden unexpected acceleration. Multiple occurences during same outing, almost caused me to have an accident . had to HARD break while engine continued to surge. Had vehicle towed to Honda Dealer. They said No Code set and couldn't duplicate condition. They kept vehicle 2 weeks and drove multiple times but couldn't duplicate problem. Since no code set, nothing fixed. Do not believe any diagnosis on components were done. My opinion.

Our 2018 CRV Touring modelm has had the dashboard light up like a christmas tree with all codes flashing. We have had the vehicle to the local honda dealer numerous times and also to a private garage. The battery has been changerd out, The Honda dealer performed a sparkplug recall and the car continues to do this with the dashboard lighting up showing all kinds of codes. Last evening for the second time the car would not go above 10 MPH. I had to shut down the engine and restart. This is very dangerous. We bought the car brand new and have had all the maintenance done. My wife is afraid to drive the car, Is there anything NHTSA can do to have Honda look into this problem. From my looking into this it appears quite a few honda CRV's are encountering this problem. This is unsafe. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you

Engine failure while driving on the highway. This is related to the oil dilution issue with the 1.5 turbo engines on our 2018 CRV. Valve got destroyed. Honda dealer replaced the cylinder head under warranty at no cost to us.

I had all the warning lights come on my 2018 Honda CRV. At one time the car also lost power. I have been visited my dealer 3 times, and still is the same problem!! It has happened 4 times.

When on the highway, if you try to match other cars speed, the car turns on the check engine and starts losing its force. When I check, it says it has a problem with misfire. P0304 & P0303. Honda changed the injectors, coils and spark plugs. The vehicle dilutes a large quantity of gas into the motor oil. 1/4 more of gas than the 3.7 quarts that the engine is supposed to have. The motor is a 1.5 engine. The car isn’t safe because I have to stop on the highway, turn it off and on then start driving again and pray that in 5 minutes the same thing won’t happen again. I’ve had to stop using the car and it’s been parked for 2 months and Honda wipes their hands clean because it’s out of warranty, yet the majority of people with this specific model have the same problem.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the brakes locked up inadvertently. Additionally, the electronic braking system, TPMS, the emission, the AWD system, braking system, brake hose, power steering, the vehicle stability assistance, Fuel Start Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and the Hydro High beam warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there was smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was sludge in the engine and that the turbo system was blown. The dealer replaced the turbo, rebuilt the engine, and performed an oil change and an engine flush; however, the failure persisted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Schaumburg Honda Automobiles (750 E Golf Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60173), where an oil change and an engine flush were performed; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that the timing chain was loose and needed to be replaced. The contact declined the repair. The contact stated he had replaced PCV valve, the camshaft sensor, and the battery himself. Additionally, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the ECM. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer for the repair. The vehicle was taken to a third dealer, where the contact was informed that the engine needed to be taken apart. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and several cases were opened. Additionally, the manufacturer referred the contact to the third dealer for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Mileage: 70,000

After battery replacement done by dealership Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, horn was off, lights were on, keyless remote can not be detected, many safety system errors etc. Called road side assist, after entire system reset, everything seemed to be normal, but problem showed up again on Saturday morning. Towed car to dealership, they checked everything and turned out to be body control module problem, had to replace body control module. My car only 5 years, 55k miles. It happed so randomly, faulty locks, faulty anti-theft, and can be a huge safety concern/issue.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the 2018 Honda CRV that I purchased from Honda dealership in Bellevue, Washington state just a few short months ago. Initially, after several week ago from the dealer, all warning lights on the dashboard were illuminated, prompting me to bring the car to your dealership for an evaluation. Following your team's assessment, the car was upgraded with software in accordance with Service Bulletin [link to the bulletin: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10154475-0001.pdf However, this was only the beginning of our troubles. In the past few months, my family, including my 9-year-old son, has encountered a series of issues that have severely affected the safety and reliability of the vehicle. We rely on this car for various family activities, including picking our son up from school and transporting him to various extracurricular activities. On multiple occasions, my family has been exposed to a strong smell of gasoline within the vehicle while driving, even with my 9-year-old son and wife in the car. This issue has persisted and continues to be a major cause for concern. Despite these issues, when I reached out to the dealership for assistance, I was informed that I would be required to pay an inspection fee. Given the seriousness of the problems and the potential safety risks associated with the gasoline smell, I felt that it was unjust to be asked to cover this cost and, as a result, I declined the inspection. The most alarming incident occurred last Saturday Oct 21 2023, while driving the vehicle from Bellevue, to Sammamish back home. The car abruptly lost all power while I was traveling at 40mph. This not only posed a significant safety hazard but also led to an emergency situation. I had to pull over, turn off the engine a couple times, and restart the car to regain power. We barely drove this vehicle back home. Throughout this incident, all engine warning lights were illuminated.

Multiple engine failure codes appeared on dashboard. Took vehicle for inspection and diagnoses states code P0172 Fuel system too rich. The service technician recommended fuel injector replacement due to faulty injectors. Service advisor did not file a warranty claim on my behalf despite my request to do so. When I called Portfolio Protection, they informed me that the technician did not call in the claim. Portfolio Protection Ever Drive 250 Limited Powertrain Coverage has an exception for injectors listed in the Mechanical paragraph as follows: Mechanical: This Limited Warranty does not provide coverage for service adjustments/cleaning, carburetor, throttle body assembly (except injectors), contaminated fuel system, water ingestion, air conditioning recharge, refrigerant, coolant, battery cables, belts, hoses, brakes (front hubs, drums, shoes, lining, disc rotors and pads), exhaust system, (...) etc. Portfolio Protection and Barber Honda Service Advisor will not acknowledge the exception for injectors clearly stated in the contract. I took the steps required in the contract to file a claim and spoke to multiple adjusters at Portfolio Protection and they refused to acknowledge the exception for injectors. Honda has extended the warranty on fuel injectors for other vehicles due to faulty injectors and incorrect installation during the assembly process as stated on Honda Service Bulletin 22-002. This is clearly an ongoing issue with Honda and needs to encompass all vehicles.

I was driving south on the Fl Turnpike when my vehicle shuts off,

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while sitting at a stop light, another motorist hit her vehicle on the front passenger side. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact nor the other driver sustained any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was driven to an independent body shop where it was repaired. Since the accident, the contact stated that several warning lights would flash on the instrument panel either upon start of the vehicle or while driving at various speeds, . The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where a diagnostic showed that the fuel injector needed to be replaced. Prior to owning the vehicle, the contact was informed that a recall(recall unknown) was performed on the vehicle that was related to the fuel injector. A software was performed to repair the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 73900.

Mileage: 73,900

I bought this vehicle few weeks ago from the Honda Bellevue, Washington state. After one week or more, all warning signal were presented and we could smell strong gasoline inside cabin when all windows were closed. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the problem but only updated the software for me. After the checkup, me and my family smelled gasoline twice. I am so worry about it because I have used this vehicle to deliver my 8 year old son to school and other sport activties.

AC Discharge Hose replaced due to leak. Many people reported this same issue on online forums on the same vehicle. This is on a 1.5 L engine. Refrigerant type is R-1234yf. There was a recall on the compressor shaft seal deterioration due to this refrigerant type. Could the same be said for the discharge hose? I have already replaced my vehicles discharge hose. For diagnostics and repairs it cost between 800-1100 dollars depending on the shop due to labor. For the average American this is too expensive and some may choose not to repair the AC system and the heat is not good for families with children. There were no warning lamps the car just stopped cooling.

In February, 2023 all of the warning lights came on my 2018 Honda CRV, including brake failure, lane departure and many more, making me afraid to drive the car. Dealer wants to replace fuel injectors, but none are available! I’m afraid my car is a danger to myself and others on the road, since all the warning lights continue to appear. HELP!!

Within the last 2 months the car began to run rough. We added fuel injector cleaner to no avail. After some time, the computer system went berserk - every system in the car was informing us that it had a problem (ie lane keep assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking system, vehicle stability assist , electric power steering etc) along with continued rough engine performance. We took the vehicle to a local Honda dealership repair shop and were eventually informed that the fuel injectors were faulty and need to be replaced. We requested that they order a set of injectors for us a month ago and are still waiting delivery of these back-ordered parts A phone call recently to the parts department of another dealer turned up with non-availability there as well The fact that these parts are in such demand along with the continued poor performance of our vehicle suggests that there may be some sort of widespread problem with this model of vehicle The constant alerts about system failures accompanied by warning chimes are a major distraction while driving. If a real problem occurs involving one of these systems, we won’t know about it since they are all “screaming “ at us about their impending failure While bad fuel injectors are not a direct safety hazard, the resulting systems problem can be seen as somewhat hazardous

Three years into owning the vehicle the spark plugs were misfiring. When replacing them finding the ceramic part of the plugs were cracking. I replaced all plugs and coils and was good for only about six months. Same thing happened and progressively got worse and in shorter time between all the mis firing codes and engine stumbling and not driving over twenty mile per hour. Now I am at a point where it has become a monthly issue and have been through approximately thirty replaced spark plugs and on the third set of ignition coils. Apparently there is an extended warranty for this issue and for the past visits the dealership says they fixed the recalls and don’t see any other issues. I am taking it to the dealership again and getting it in writing this time. I want the company to fix the resin for the spark plugs consistently misfiring and address why is it progressively getting worse. I find it funny Honda recognizes something is coursing this by extending the warranty and making it unlimited miles to cover the coast of the repairs stated in the letter of these problems but haven’t stated or fixed what’s causing it. I will follow up with the next visit to the dealership with any results. I do believe this is a dated issue for the fact that is been a number of time where the all the dates features on the vehicle shut down and engine stops accelerating at times I was traveling on highways at highway speeds as well as in traffic. Thanks Dan

At 57000 miles, our SUV suddenly displayed a warning of “emission control problem”. Within a few miles of that, the car displayed virtually every warning message it has… something in the range of 20 different alarms. The onboard computer showed the problem to be 1 cylinder running too lean. The fix was to replace the fuel injector on that cylinder, but Honda now only sells the injector in sets of 4 for their 4 cyl engines. I ended up paying $1438 to have all the injectors replaced in a car that is not even 5 yrs old. This follows the replacement of a faulty A/C compressor for $2200 a year ago when the car had around 45000 miles. These kinds of premature failures are more and more common in Honda’s , and it’s clear Honda is doing nothing to address the issues if a car is out of the 36k mile warranty. Outrageous!!!!

While driving (road trip 500 miles round trip), all the dashboard lights turned with no real indication of what the issues was. I pulled over to see if there was anything noticeable and did not see anything exteriorly nor once I opened the hood of the car. I continued my drive home (remaining 100 miles or so) and once I parked my car in driveway, I noticed a strong smell with black smoke coming from exhaust pipe with black oil at the end of my tailpipes. My car is currently at dealers getting looked at and they recommended changing my fuel injector and spark plugs, which they completed ($2,000) and I AM STILL having issues.!!! Doing my research online I noticed that there was a recall of this vehicle in China but not in the US, which is unacceptable. Something needs to be done ASAP!

I have a 2018 Honda CR-V touring , with a 1.5 turbo engine. It seems that as my oil usage (Mileage) increases, between oil changes, I have been losing Miles per Gallon. After an oil change my MPG is around 34 to 35 MPG. My car now is at 60% oil usage before an oil change is needed. I am due for an oil change now. The last oil change the mechanic noticed there was a thinning of the oil and the smell of gas in the oil was present, as well as the oil quantity was higher. We assumed the higher oil quantity is due to gas in the oil.

The car does not get up to operating temperature at idle during cold climates. If the car is started and left to idle and warm up, the heat will not blow and the front window will not defrost. If the car is driven on short trips through town, it will not heat up at all. Also, if the car is driven around and gets up to operating temperature and then left to idle, the car's temperature will slowly edge down and cause no heat to blow from the vents. I have brought the car in to the dealer twice for the same issue only for them to tell me that this is a normal characteristic of the car and that nothing is wrong. I have never had this issue on any other vehicle. Additionally, the car suffers from oil dilution in the engine which cases poor performance and thinned oil. The oil level gradually increases over time after being driven because of gasoline entering the engine oil. I believe that this will eventually lead to premature wear in my engine.

Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.

Toda la seguridad relacioada al sistema de frenos y la emisión de gases es un problema persistente en el panel del vehículo. Al parecer es un problema común de éstos vehículos según las reseñas que he escuchado y leído de por parte de otros propietarios de éstos vehículos.

The contact's father owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on separate occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pads and the fuel injector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact then stated that the same day while his father was driving, the vehicle stalled and was towed back to the dealer where it was then diagnosed that the software needed to be updated however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it remained. The vehicle was diagnosed and it was determined that the engine need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact left a voicemail however, there was no response. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

I am making this report because I am shocked that my Honda's CRV AC hose from compressor to condensor needed to be replaced. All of my AC leaked out from compressor. My Honda is a 2018 and it only has 60,000 freeway miles.I went online and saw that many other Honda CRV 2018 owners have had the same issue. Honda should have repaired it. It took almost a week to get it repaired. Difficulty finding the hoses. I called both my dealer and Honda Customer Support and they didn't offer any type of extended warranty for this.

While traveling on I-95N my car started braking on its own, I was in the middle lane of I-95 North in Maryland traveling about 75 mph when the car started braking for no reason, all the indicator lights lit up on the dashboard, I had no idea what was going on but somehow safely made it to the shoulder without incident. I was informed today that it was an "engine failure" that caused my car to brake/stall; I inquired why there was no warning, when you need an oil change you get a warning, when your battery is dying you get a warning, when your tire pressure is low you get a warning, all things that do not require immediate attention but there is no warning when your engine is going to fail -- that does require immediate attention especially when you are traveling on I-95 north with trucks and cars traveling at speeds of 70-plus miles per hour.

AC Compressor Leaking Freon. 23243 miles. Cost $2184.20 to repair. Numerous complaints concerning AC, compressor should not have failed at this juncture. Believe HONDA installed defective part during production.

In early April 2022 the Body Control Module went bad. A replacement was ordered, and is still unavailable (Honda PN: 38809-TMM-A21). This rendered the car unable to be started, unless the battery was first disconnected and then reconnected (as advised by Honda Service). However, this results in several error lights, including emergency braking, hill start assist, lane keeping assist, collision warning systems, blind spot systems, as well as non-driving systems like operation of the windows, and the associated symptom of these systems working intermittently, or not at all. Honda still has not provided a reliable estimate for the part to be made available, despite escalating the situation to their corporate level. I am aware of other Honda models of the same year having BCM (Body Control Module) issues and a recall being current and active.

As I was driving home from work, I tried to accelerate to merge onto the highway and my car would not go over 30-40 mph. It felt like it was going to stall. This could have caused a major accident. I was able to make it home. I took the 2018 honda crv to the dealer that night and was told that Turbocharger was broke. During this whole ordeal, the engine light did not come on once, nor leading up to this event. The dealer ran computer diagnostics and nothing came up. They had to take the car apart to find out what was wrong. Because the turbocharger had been broken, this also caused damage to the fuel injectors and they needed replaced. 25 days later, again on my way home from work, every single light and warning message is flashing on my dash, as if there is a battery problem. THERE WAS NO WARNING APPEAR PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. Took it back to the dealer and was told that there is blown head gasket, coolant leaking into the cylinder, no compression in cylinder. Luckily, nothing happened while I was driving. THIS NOW REQUIRES MY WHOLE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. Seems due to driving with the malfunctioning Turbo, the original problem, WHICH I HAD NO IDEA OR WARNING LIGHT, damaged my car further. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE HONDA CRV 2018 SAFETY ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS AND IN MY OPINION MALFUNCTIONED.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact used excessive force to steer the vehicle off the highway and immediately called for roadside assistance. The contact had the vehicle initially towed to her home where her son inspected the vehicle. The contact's son informed her that there was an issue with the engine and the vehicle needed to be towed to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with a defective cylinder head. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

Mileage: 72,000

My vehicle stops going down the road. It starts slowing down quickly and is very hard to drive like the power steering is going out. Hopefully I can get to a shoulder to turn it off. I let it sit for a few minutes and it will restart. Close to my home, there are curves where there is no shoulder and it has happened multiple times there. It is not consistent and usually occurs within the first 30 minutes of your drive. This has happened since I bought brand new but is occurring more frequently now.

Traveling on I-20 My wife reported the car just quit working with no warning between Atlanta and Birmingham about 90 miles from home. She was able to get to the side of the interstate and called me. She said all the lights on the display were showing as failed systems. Internet search lead me to believe it was the battery. On arrival i installed new battery but symptoms remained car would not start and just shuddered when attempting to start. I called the dealership we purchased from to talk to a tech. I was asked if she was low on gas below 1/2 tank. Yes the gauge shows 1/4 tank remains. I was told to get gas and it should be fine, some of the CRV's run out of gas but read that gas remains. I did get gas and car cranked we drove home. At 63 we don't need this kind of dangerous situation to happen. Think how easily this could have gone from bad to worse. She did call the state patrol and asked for the roadside assistance truck to come. This would at least have some flashing lights. They never made it. The dealership told me on the phone that this was not a recall or covered but they knew about it occurring. They would be glad to fix it at my expense. Money for maintenance is one thing but I might as well let my wife drive a junker if this is what I get when I buy a Honda. This occurred 02/16/22 so I have not been to the dealer for their evaluation, just to the gas station.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while pulling into a parking space and depressing on the brake pedal, she heard an abnormal noise and the vehicle began to vibrate. The contact stated an unknown green brake hold warning light was illuminated and then turned off a second later. The contact stated she was able to park the vehicle. The contact stated that a week later while starting the vehicle, she experienced the same failure. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where she was informed that the engine was overfilled by one quart of oil. The contact was informed that the extra oil needed to be drained. The repairs were completed. The contact stated on 2/9/2022, she started to smell fuel fumes inside the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer and was informed there was no leak and no failure found with the vehicle. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

Mileage: 11,000

Engine oil diluted. 2/8/2022 Engine oil was Diluted by 55mm. This happened within 400 miles of the last oil change. That's a lot of gasoline in the oil and oil viscosity is significantly decreased. All updates/recalls have been completed on the vehicle. The updates that are specific to this issue have been completed. Talking to Honda dealership, this is extremely unnormal and results in premature engine wear.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle several unknown warning lights would remain illuminated, including the check engine warning light. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the fuel injectors were faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact also indicated that fuel had mixed into the engine oil causing a heavy fuel odor to be present inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a computer re-flash. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

Mileage: 34,000

The oil leak from oil pan seal and timing chain tensioner seal area.

Vehicle stalled when accelerating to overtake another vehicle. No errors/warnings, displays were working but speed suddenly dropped and does not increase no matter what. It was scary. Luckily I was able to come back to a shoulder lane and stop the vehicle. Vehicle ran normally after powering off and starting again. I've been driving the vehicle for couple of hours on freeway by then. This happened 4 times over the summer. Dealers are asking for $200 to diagnose but not promising that they will be able to find the problem since the issue does not happen consistently. I suspect it is due to oil dilution problem for which Honda performed repair last year.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, multiple unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated an independent mechanic came to her residence and informed her that the engine needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that on 10/17/2021, while driving 45 MPH, the engine experienced a misfire and the vehicle started to decelerate. The contact stated that multiple warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road. The contact stated she was able to drive back to her residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

Mileage: 27,000

Car suddenly lost power and dash lights came on while I was passing a large truck, legally, on rural highway. Was unable to pass truck and had to fall back and thankfully no vehicles were coming in opposite direction. Was a pass with caution area with dotted line. Had to have towed to dealership, found to be issue with turbo. Research shows know issue with vehicle, see NHTSA service bulletin 19-032, but Honda states does not involve my VIN number, though exact issue, model, and year. I think this issue should be expand to include all vehicles of same make, model and year.

Grinding noises were heard in the car twice, before the engine stalled. The car was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Could not restart the car at all, and check engine lights were lit on the dashboard. After 5 minutes passed and after multiple tries to restart the car, the engine started and I was able to get to safety. Upon dealer inspection, the cause was the air condition compressor locking up, possibly due to a leak in the refrigerant. This is confirmed by the car blowing hot air even in AC mode. The lock up caused the engine to stall and go into fail safe mode. This meant the car was stopped and unable to restart in the middle of a busy intersection. Because the car's engine was stopped, it was not possible to get the car moving again. It was incredibly dangerous for me and my passengers, as well as other cars on the road. Even when the lights changed, I was still stuck. There were cars driving around my car, causing more potential traffic incidents. The engine was not able to be immediately restarted, which put multiple cars in traffic in danger for longer than necessary.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX 2WD IN FLORIDA APRIL 2018. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I TRAVEL THROUGH INDIANA AND OHIO DURING THE YEAR, INCLUDING WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CAR AND HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE IN THE OIL ESPECIALLY IN WINTER MONTHS WHEN I AM TRAVELING NORTH. I CALLED HONDA CORP ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND THE TSB 18-114 AND TSB 18-124 THAT WERE ADDRESSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT ONLY COVERS NORTHERN STATES. I EXPLAINED THAT I TRAVEL THROUGH NORTHERN STATES DURING THE YEAR AND HAVE EXPERIENCED GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AND ALSO IN THE OIL. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER WHEN I AM IN INDIANA AND OHIO DURING THE WINTER. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS I AM AT WORK AND UNABLE TO TAKE THE TIME OFF TO GO TO A DEALER, NOT UNTIL I GET HOME TO FLORIDA AND THEN THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GONE. SO I AM ONLY REQUESTING THAT TSB 18-114 AND 18-124 BE APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE ALSO. THE "FIX" TO OIL DILUTION SHOULD NOT JUST BE APPLIED TO NORTHERN STATES WHEN MANY OF US TRAVEL THROUGH NORTHERN STATES IN THE WINTER. I AM GOING TO PURSUE THIS IF I DON'T HEAR BACK FROM HONDA CORP AFTER THEIR PREVIOUS CALL TO ME DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. I JUST WANT THE TIB'S APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE.

IT WAS ALSO REVEALED THAT IN JANUARY 2019, HONDA SENT A RECALL TO ADJUST THE SOFTWARE AND MAKE A CHANGE IN THE AC UNIT AND THIS CAR HAD THAT DONE. HONDA ALSO EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THESE VEHICLES BY ONE YEAR. IT IS KNOWN THAT HONDA MADE ENGINE CHANGES IN THEIR 2019 MODESA. IT IS SPECULATED THAT THE INJECTOR SYSTEM IS CAUSING THE ISSUE IN THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV TURBO CHANGED ENGINE.

SINCE NEW, ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS FOR A SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN RECOVERS WITH A BURST OF ACCELERATION. HAPPENS MAINLY AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN STOPPED OR ROLLING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT PURPOSELY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT WILL. HOWEVER, IT AVERAGES HAPPENING EVERY APPROXIMATELY ONCE PER WEEK. IT HAPPENED 4/2/2021, ON A HEAVY TRAFFIC LOOP AND CAUSED A FENDER BENDER ACCIDENT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I FIND ENGINE STALLING IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL HONDA.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WITH THE ENGINE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE RPM INSTANTLY AND ABRUPTLY INCREASES FROM 700 RPM TO APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM. THE VEHICLE MOVES AHEAD SUDDENLY WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND CAN REACH A SPEED OF 7 MPH ON LEVEL PAVEMENT. THE SAME ACCELERATION OCCURS WHEN I AM MOVING VERY SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPACE OR GARAGE AND MY FOOT IS PRESSING LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL -- THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPS" AHEAD, REQUIRING INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT ACCELERATION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AHEAD WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEREFORE THE VEHICLE COULD IMPACT THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, A WALL OR PARKING BARRIER AHEAD OF IT, OR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING IN FRONT OF IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO HONDA DEALERS FOR THIS CONDITION (SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 AND MARCH 12, 2021). THE FIRST SERVICE REPORT STATED "SYSTEM SCAN FOUND NO DTCS, ROAD TESTED AND FOUND ALL NORMAL." THE REPORT FROM THE SECOND DEALER STATED "CHECK AND FOUND NORMAL/PROPER OPERATION." THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (NEW) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT NORMAL AND HAS THE DEFINITE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, OTHER VEHICLES, PROPERTY, OR PEDESTRIANS. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

MANY TIMES I START AND DRIVE THE CAR AND THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON AND AND ALSO THE RED LIGHT BRAKE KEEP BLINKING. WHEN THIS HAPEN CRUISE, PRESURE TIRES MALFUNCION. ONE THE LAS TIME I PARKED AND TURN OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO STAR AGAIN THE BRAKES STAY ENGAGED AND NO GO ANY WHEARE. I HAVE TO DISCONECT THE BATERY 2 TIMES FOR RESET THE ALARMS.

DRIVING CAR ON SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE A A MISFIRE OCCURRED CAUSING A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THROTTLE CONTROL WAS DEFEATED BY DESIGN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN A LANE WITH NO SHOULDER AND SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO CYCLE KEY A FEW TIMES AND THROTTLE CONTROL WAS RESTORED UNTIL CAR MISFIRED AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TALKED TO LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS BY DESIGN, TO PROTECT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN THE EVENT OF A MISFIRE..THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO PROTECT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND STILL LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL POWER. MANY MANUFACTURERS SIMPLY CUT FUEL DELIVERY TO THE CYLINDER THAT IS MISFIRING, LEAVING YOU LESS POWER BUT STILL SAFE TO DRIVE.. THIS PROBLEM IS A SIMPLE FIX FOR HONDA WITH A REFLASH. THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS CREATED BY A SIMPLE SPARK PLUG ISSUE ON ONE CYLINDER.

MY DEALERSHIP STATES I NEED FUEL INJECTORS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, AND HONDA IS VERY AWARE OF THIS FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM. THEY ACTUALLY PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PLACE ON THE POWERTRAIN TO REMEDY THIS . UNFORTUNATELY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FUEL INJECTORS.ON ONE OCCASION. NOV. 3 2020, MY CAR STALLED WHILE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTERWARDS I SMELLED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY CAR. I HAVE SMELLED THIS ODOR SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR JAN. 2020. IT HAD 89K MILES ON IT. I DID NOT THINK THIS NEW CAR WOULD NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO HONDA WANTS OVER $1100 TO PUT FUEL INJECTORS IN. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. THE DREAM MOTOR IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA KNOWS IT. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE ANYONE WILL PAY ME ANY ATTENTION. HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM THEREFORE I AM ASSUMING IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE, AS I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR. I AM A NURSE AND TRAVEL ON MY JOB. I HAVE NO CRUISE, LANE KEEP ASSIST, LANE STABILITY OR ANY OF THOSE FEATURES. I DONT KNOW HOW THIS CAR WILL PASS INSPECTION LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. GOOGLE PROBLEMS WITH 2018 CRV. .....HONDA KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO ME. THANK YOU.

HONDA MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT FOR OVERFILLING MY OIL TANK. WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2500 FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER MUCH NEGOTIATING THEY LOWERED COST. HOWEVER I HAVE SINCE SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. *TR

2018 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WHIRLING NOISE FROM ENGINE. *LD *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT VEHICLE MISFIRED AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. LOST SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PARKED CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CAR STARTED TO REV ITSELF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT PUSHING THE PEDAL. ALL SYSTEM ALERT INDICATORS CAME ON INDICATING ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL & ENGINE COMPONENTS. TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED. CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY NOTICED MISFIRES AS WELL WHEN TESTING AND CAR WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE FOLLOWING IN DIAGNOSTIC REPORT: "FOUND ENGINE OIL TO BE OVER FILLED. CODE P0300 RANDAM MISFIRE. THERE WAS GAS IN THE FUEL - PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND UPDATED THE PGM - FI SYSTEM" AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CRV 2018 MODELS, BUT THERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THAT GAS GETS IN TO THE OIL PANEL AND DILUTES THE OIL WITH GAS. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAD OUR CAR MISFIRED AT HIGHER SPEED THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL ALSO ASSUREDLY EFFECT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES ENGINE AS OIL IS DILUTED BY GAS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL TANK AND CAUSING STALLING AND MISFIRES ISSUES JUST AS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. IT WAS NOT UNTIL WE TOLD THEM WE FOUND INFORMATION ON IT OURSELVES DID THEY RECOGNIZE IT. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT OUR PARTICULAR VIN HAD ALREADY HAD THE UPDATE AND FIX THAT WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN IT DID NOT REMEDY OUR VEHICLE, AND THIS IS STILL A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO RECTIFY WITH ITS CUSTOMERS.

ON DECEMBER 22, 2019 I WAS HEADED TO CHURCH ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY AND HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, A LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD CAR HAULED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WHERE I HAD IT MAINTAINED. I HAD THE VEHICLE HAULED OVER TO DEALERSHIP ON A TRAILER TO AVOID DRIVING IT. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED, THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL TO THE ENGINE WAS BLOCKED BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT BLOCKED THE OIL. HEARING METAL TO METAL IT COULD HAVE BEEN SHAVINGS FROM THE METAL RUBBING TOGETHER. IT IS JANUARY 9, 2020 AND I AM STILL WITHOUT A MY CAR. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT READY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020. HOWEVER, WHEN I DROVE OFF IN IT, THE ENGINE WAS ROARING. SO, I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK AND LEFT IT ONCE AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY ONCE AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I WORK IN 53 MILE AWAY. I TEST DROVE IT AND THE ROARING SOUND WAS STILL THERE. THEY (THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT) THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES SO THEY ROTATED THE TIRES AND STILL HEARD THE ROARING SOUND. THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A 2018 VEHICLE. I FELT THE ROARING WAS STILL IN THE ENGINE. I WILL HOPEFULLY PICK MY CAR UP ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 IN HOPES THE ROARING SOUND IS GONE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE THE 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE OIL. NEVERTHELESS, A 2018 HONDA TOURING SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND NOW I FEEL THE VALUE OF MY CAR IS DEPRECIATED.

I BOUGHT CAR USED FROM GM DEALERSHIP 3/16/19, WASN'T AWARE OF PROBLEM UNTIL FIRST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE.GAS MIXING IN WITH OIL CAUSING OIL LEVEL TO RISE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, ABOUT A QUART HIGH WITH AROUND 2,000 MILES DRIVEN,MOSTLY HIGHWAY. HONDA SERVICE HAD ME BRING IN VEHICLE AFTER OIL CHANGE TO CHECK LEVEL, THEN AGAIN AFTER 1,000 MILES TO RECHECK. BROUGHT IN IN AFTER ABOUT 1700 MILES AND OIL WAS UP ABOUT A QUART ACCORDING TO SERVICE MANAGER. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED SOFTWARE "FIX" TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER 1,500 MILES, OIL LEVEL UP SIGNIFICANTLY AGAIN. DEALER CONTENDS HONDA DOESN'T HAVE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF ISSUE YET. CAR IN HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AGAIN FOR ASSESSMENT, THIRD OIL CHANGE IN 2 MONTHS. DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE CARS PERFORMANCE SINCE I BOUGHT USED AND NEVER HAD NORMAL BASELINE TO COMPARE TO.

THE ENGINE OIL KEEPS INCREASING IN VOLUME CAUSING ME TO DRAIN ABOUT 1/2 QT ABOUT EVERY 1000-1500 MILES. IF YOU DO NOT KEEP A CHECK ON THIS IT WILL DEGRADE OR CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. I LIVE IN GEORGIA WHICH HAS A MILD CLIMATE.

MY 2018 HONDA CR V HAS THE 1.5 LITRE TURBO ENGINE. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED REGARDING THE MIXING OF THE FUEL/GAS WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN THE NORTH, HOWEVER, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE HERE IN OKLAHOMA. UPON ENGINE START THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SEATING. I HAVE ALSO NOTED INCREASE OIL LEVELS IN THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. ALSO THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE OIL DIPSTICK. I AM WRITING TO INQUIRE IF HONDA MOTOR COMPANY INTENDS TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THE SMELL STARTS AT THE MOMENT THE ENGINE IS STARTED.. THE CAR CAN BE STATIONARY AND I CAN STILL NOTICE THE SMELL OF FUEL. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF FUEL IN THE CRANKCASE WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THESE ENGINES. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER WITH HONDA? THANK YOU.

GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. A WARRANTY REPAIR WAS DONE JAN 2019 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IN SEPT 2019 THE ENGINE OIL WAS NOTED TO BE ABOVE FULL AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR FURTHER REPAIR BUT NO FURTHER REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AND BECAUSE HONDA CLAIMS THIS TO BE "A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR, NO OIL CHANGE WAS DONE EITHER. HOWEVER, THE HONDA 2018 CR-V MANUAL CLEARLY POINTS OUT THAT OVER FILLING THE OIL MAY LEAD TO LEAKS OR ENGINE DAMAGE. COPIES OF THE REPAIR RECEIPT AND HONDA OIL OVERFILL WARNING ARE ATTACHED.

UPON ACCELERATING WHILE PULLING THE CAR ON MAIN ROADWAY, THE CAR DROPPED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH AND THEN WOULDN'T REACH PAST 35MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND STARTED TO BLINK. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONLY AGGRAVATED THE SITUATION. ABOUT A MILE LATER THE CAR STOPPED/STALLED TRYING TO GO UP A HILL. I TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED 10 MIN AND RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO GO ANOTHER 1 MILE TO HOME, I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO GO OVER 25 MPH, BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT MADE SURE I DID NOT GO OVER 30MPH, AS I DID NOT WANT IT TO STALL. DURING THE DRIVE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. WAITING TO HEAR BACK.FROM THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY HONDA AND ALL 2017/2018 CRVS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA AND EUROPE, BUT NOT THE US.

AFRAID THIS CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE! ENGINE OIL IS GETTING DILUTED WITH FUEL DUE TO THE TURBO ENGINES ON THE 2017 -2018 HONDA CRVS. I NOTIFIED STEVENSON HENDRICK HONDA IN DECEMBER 2018 OF A FUEL SMELL IN CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING AND AN MIL (MALFUNCTION ERROR CAME UP & ALL SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED UNTIL I CUT CAR OFF AT NEXT STOP AND RESTARTED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR ON 12/24/18 AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN DUE TO FUEL SMELL IN CABIN & WE HAD CHECKED OIL & THE DIPSTICK REAKED OF FUEL & WAS WAY OVER THE HIGH MARK. TOOK CAR ON 8/10/19 AND I MADE SERVICE MANAGER TONY CHECK OIL IN FRONT OF ME TO VERIFY FUEL WAS IN IT. THEY SAID THEY CHANGED COMPUTER MODULE AND DID SOME UPDATES TO FIX & TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON 8/1/717 AT 8;00 FOR INSTALL OF SPARK PLUGS THEY ORDERED. DROVE 40 MILES BACK HOME AND FUEL WAS ALREADY IN THE OIL AGAIN! CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK TO LET THEM KNOW I WANT THE OIL/OIL FILTER CHANGED AGAIN ON 8/17/19 WHEN THEY DO SPARK PLUGS AND THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK OIL IN CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AS WELL & SPOKE TO "CAT". SHE WASN'T HELPFUL AT ALL AND REFUSED TO TELL ME WHY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE THEY SENT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FUEL DILUTION IN THE OIL. IT ONLY REFERRED TO ERROR CODES & WHIRLING NOISE IN ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING IN "COLD WEATHER REGIONS" AND THAT I AM THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF. I TOLD THEM THAT IF PEOPLE DON'T CHECK THEIR OIL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TELL THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR OIL THAT THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE CONSUMERS.THIS CAR SCARES ME ME & I'M AFRAID MY ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE FROM THIS ISSUE!

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

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5T ENGINE IS "MAKING OIL". I CHANGE MY OWN OIL AND MONITOR THE LEVEL WEEKLY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE THAT I READ ABOUT IN CONSUME REPORTS WOULD NOT AFFECT ME BECAUSE I AM IN A WARM CLIMATE (FLORIDA) BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE OIL LEVEL ON MY DIP STICK ROSE ABOUT 3/8 OF AN INCH IN 5000 MILES. I CHANGED THE OIL AND WE TOOK A TRIP TO TENNESSEE IN THE WINTER AND THE OIL LEVEL ROSE SO MUCH IN THE COLD WEATHER I WAS CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD CAUSE TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE SEALS SO I DRAINED SOME OIL OUT. I WOULD THINK THAT GAS IN THE OIL WOULD SEVERELY EFFECT ENGINE LIFE. THE DEALER DENIES THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM SAYING THE THIS IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE AFTER HAVING 4500 MILES, BEGAN TO SMELL TERRIBLY OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED , DID NOT WANT TO RUN, AND STALLED A FEW TIMES BEFORE I WOUND UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE LITTLE WRENCH CAME ON, FOR A NOTIFICATION OF THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GROWLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WAITING A HOPEFUL REPAIR. HERE I AM WITH NO VEHICLE, AND A $400 PER MONTH PAYMENT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IN TODAY'S WORLD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED, BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO BE PUT UP FOR SALE . A VEHICLE IS DEEMED NOT SAFE, WHEN IT'S STALLS ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

FOUR MONTHS LATER WITH NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, THE SMELL OF GAS IS AGAIN COMING THROUGH THE VENTS, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN, AND THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGH. I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL STALL IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND THE FUMES IN THE CABIN MAKE ME FEEL SICK.

THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT IT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FVDKNRGZGT8 WE TOOK IT IN AND THE "FIX" WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THE OIL CONTINUES TO GET DILUTED WITH GAS. WE WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN WISCONSIN, IF THEY FAIL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN 4 TRIES, IT BECOMES A LEMON. I DON'T WANT IT TO COME TO THAT BECAUSE I AM SURE THAT WILL BE A BIG HASSLE, BUT THE LONG TERM PROBLEMS CAUSED BY GAS IN THE OIL MAY BE WORSE. NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM HONDA!

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V EX IN DECEMBER 2018 FROM A NEAR-BY HONDA DEALER. WE LIVE IN BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD, AND DO MOST OF OUR DRIVING LOCALLY. WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS AFTER DRIVING, WE STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, AND STARTED TO GET WORSE. WE RESEARCHED OUR ISSUE, AND NOTED MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ON 2018 CR- V 1.5L TURBO-CHARGED ENGINES. IN EARLY APRIL 2019, WE HAD OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT TO CHECK OUR CABIN GAS SMELL PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER. MILEAGE 1,500 MILES. ON THE SERVICE REPORT, DEALER NOTED "CONFIRMED OIL AND GAS MIXTURE COMPLAINT. OIL LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL ON DIPSTICK. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK OIL LEVEL OFTEN". WE HAD THE DEALER PERFORM AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE DUE TO STRONG GAS ODOR IN OUR CABIN. THE DEALER INDICATED HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PART OF A KNOWN UNRESOLVED ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL IN MARYLAND YET, BUT THERE SHOULD BE IN OUR OPINION. SINCE CHANGING THE OIL THREE WEEKS AGO, THE GAS ODOR IS LESS OBSERVABLE AT THIS TIME. WE CONSIDER THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM TO BE A HEALTH CONCERN, AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE CR-V. WE ARE CONCERNED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH NO FIXES AVAILABLE IN MARYLAND. WE UNDERSTAND HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED FIXES FOR OIL DILUTION ISSUES IN NEIGHBORING PENNSYLVANNIA AND DELAWARE.

I NOTICED MY OIL WAS OVERFILLED EARLY IN APRIL 2019. HONDA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 & 2018 CRVS WITH THE 1.5 TWIN TURBO ENGINES WITH GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE OIL, I CALLED HONDA CORP & THEY HAD VALLEY HONDA LOOK AT THE CAR. THEY REMOVED 1/2 QT OIL FROM THE CAR. YOU CAN SMELL THE GASOLINE IN THE OIL THEY SAID THE CAR IS SAFE & DRIVE IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR % WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE... THE CHINESE GOVT HAD HONDA RECALL ALL THESE CRVS BUT I CANT FIND OUT WHAT THE RECALL INVOLVED.. CAN U HELP ME... THANK YOU

GAS SMELL!!!!! GAS IN THE OIL!!!!! NO RECALL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

INITIAL OIL CHANGE ON 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH 1.5 TURBO ENGINE AT 2303 MILES. ONE WEEK AFTER CHANGING OIL NOTICED OIL LEVEL HAD INCREASED OVER 1/8" ON DIPSTICK AND THAT OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE (OIL LEVEL CHECK WAS PERFORMED SEVERAL HOURS AFTER DRIVING). DILUTION OF OIL WITH GASOLINE IS OBVIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL TO CONTINUED ENGINE OPERATION - THEREFORE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY NEW VEHICLE. RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE AND IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS CLEARLY PROVES THAT HONDA DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC DESIGN FLAW (NOT IN AMERICA ANYWAY). APPEARS ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, LEMON LAWS OR WAITING FOR HONDA TO MAN UP. THE OBVIOUS MISINFORMATION AND CORRUPTION OF THE MANUFACTURER TOWARD THEIR CUSTOMERS, CONCERNING THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE, IS (IMHO) DISGUSTING! IT IS NOT NORMAL OR IN ANYWAY SAFE OR OK FOR ENGINE CRANKCASES TO FILL UP WITH GASOLINE....EVER!!! THE FUEL IN OIL ISSUE IS NOT THE ISSUE (DESIGN FLAWS HAPPEN WHEN MANUFACTURERS FAIL TO PROPERLY TEST NEW DESIGNS)...HONDA'S CORRUPT TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE ISSUE IS THE REAL ISSUE AND CONTINUED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR JUST MIGHT PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS PERMANENTLY.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN. THE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WE STEPPED IN GAS AND THE SMELL WAS FROM OUR SHOES. AFTER MORE HEADACHES AND RESEARCH, WE ARE REALIZING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CR-V'S. ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS UPON STARTING. WE PARK THE CAR IN A GARAGE. WHILE AT WORK, THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE. I WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT AND THE ENGINE WAS HESITANT TO START AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO START A CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT LAGGED AND AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES DURING THE WINTER. EACH INCIDENT WAS A SEPARATE OCCASION. EACH TIME WAS AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR A FEW HOURS.

WE WERE DRIVING FROM BRIDGEPORT,WV TO NEW JERSEY ON 2/9/19. FOUR HOURS INTO THE TRIP CARALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN AND ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK AT THAT POINT. CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGH WAY. WE PULLED OVER CALLED AAA SERVICE AND TOYOTA. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ THEY FIX MULTIPLE DTC UPDATED PO302 RELATED RECALL, UPDATED PCM/TCU NO MORE MISFIRE. CAR NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS WEEK ITS TWICE.

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED VIBRATING, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BURNING SMELL OCCURRED, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY VERY ABRUPTLY. IT WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AS SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT VERY FAST SPEEDS. REPORTED THE FIRST OCCURRENCE TO THE MCGRATH CITY HONDA, CHICAGO, IL IN JANUARY 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES AND THEY REPLACED SOME FUEL SENSORS AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE (DEFECTIVE PART). SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2019, COULD NOT TAKE PHOTOS AS THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. REPORTED THE THIRD INCIDENT IN MARCH 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTOR AND THEY PLACED THE ORDER FOR THE PART. WE ARE REALLY, REALLY SCARED OF DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE, MALFUNCTIONING AND HAZARDOUS VEHICLE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET LAST NIGHT AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND SAVE THE PEOPLE.

ENGINE (SPECIFICALLY COOLANT USED FOR HEATING THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AIR) DOES NOT HEAT UP ENOUGH IN COLD WEATHER FOR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTERS TO WORK PROPERLY UNTIL CAR HAS BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL MILES. WHEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 40MPH IN WEATHER BELOW 32F., ENGINE TEMPERATURE REMAINS COLD, THEREFORE PROVIDING TO HEAT FOR DEFROSTING WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT HELP TO LET VEHICLE "WARM UP" PRIOR TO DRIVING BECAUSE WHEN IDLING THE ENGINE NEVER GETS WARM (TEMPERATURE INDICATOR REMAINS ON COLDEST INDICATED SETTING). THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WINDOWS ARE NOT CLEAR FOR DRIVING. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT OCCURS ANYTIME OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH -30F, AND THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURES GET COLDER.

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OVERFILLED OIL LEVELS WITH A GAS MIXED WITH ENGINE OIL AND GAS SMELL, THIS IS DUE TO GAS LEAK INTO OIL RESERVOIRS. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN OF LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AND HEALTH RISK CAUSE FROM GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF VEHICLE. NHTSA TO REQUIRED HONDA TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO GET IT FIX . MY VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 6100 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CR-V DOWN THE COUNTRY ROADS IN MY AREA THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND LOOSE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE TRYING TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE VEHICLE BEGAN LOOSING POWER. WITH THE GAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE FIVE MILES AN HOUR. FINDING A LOCATION TO PULL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS CRACKLING AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS ALLOWED SHOWED THAT THE SMELL WAS WORSE ON THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DEEMED IN OPERABLE. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER; HOWEVER, I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THIS VEHICLE WAS ONLY OFF THE LOT FOR THREE MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 800 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5L SUV (WITH 4200 MILES ODOMETER READING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) ON SATURDAY, MARCH 2 ON IOWA STATE HIGHWAY 92 GOING APPROXIMATE 62MPH AND WERE 25 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ENGINE POWER UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC COMING BEHIND US ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 6MPH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING WHEN ANY EFFORT TO ACCELERATE WAS MADE. WE CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE A 4 HOUR WAIT FOR A TOW. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS 16 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO FAHRENHEIT . IT WAS 3 HOURS BEFORE A TOW SERVICE ARRIVED. OUR VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SMART HONDA IN DES MOINES, IOWA WHICH WAS THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND DID AN OIL CHANGE THAT DAY. WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP OUR VEHICLE AT SMART HONDA UNTIL THEY COULD COMPLETE THE SERVICE REQUIRED. WE WERE NOT GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE TO USE WHILE THE CR-V WAS AT THE DEALER. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2018 AND IN OCTOBER OF 2018 WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CONSUMER REPORTS ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM IN THE 2017-18 CR-V 1.5L ENGINES. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFO FROM HONDA CORPORATION UNTIL JANUARY 2019 WHEN WE GOT A LETTER ABOUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO 'DRIVABILITY CONCERNS'. DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER IN IOWA, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY URGENCY IN THE LETTER WE RECEIVED. WE ARE HUGELY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CONSIDER IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN STALL AT ANYTIME AND ANYPLACE. A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WITH A STALLED ENGINE OCCURRING COMPLETELY AT RANDOM.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SHUT DOWN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAD LOST ALL POWER AND IT HAD 4525 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE IT UP FOR A RECALL FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH A/C CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ; DTC P0300, P0301,P0302,P0303,P0304,OR P0172. I HAD TO CALL HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VEHICLE WAS HAULED ON A FLAT BED TRAILER TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. THIS RECALL ALSO INVOLVED AN OIL CHANGE, OF WHICH THEY WERE MAKING THE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE FILTER, THEY WOULD CHANGE THE FILTER WITH THE OIL CHANGE, BUT NOT PAY FOR THE FILTER WHEN CHANGING THE OIL. THERE IS ALSO AN OIL DISILLUSION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS GAS GOING INTO THE OIL CAUSING A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL AND THINNING OUT THE OIL. ALSO THERE IS A HEATING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS NO HEAT WHICH COMES OUT OF THE BLOWERS, WHICH WHERE I LIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE FOR 6-9 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING AS I CAN ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO GET COOLED OFF, BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY I CAN GET HEAT IN MY CAR AND THAT IS FROM RUNNING THE ENGINE AND USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL IN THE CAR. IN COLD WEATHER STATES WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN AND ISN'T DRIVABLE AND THE CAR ISN'T ABLE TO PRODUCE HEAT WHEN YOU ARE STRANDED A PERSON COULD FREEZE TO DEATH BECAUSE OF THE CARS INABILITY TO PRODUCE HEAT WHILE STRANDED IN THE COLD WEATHER. MY OIL ALREADY SMELLS OF GAS AND I HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 700 MILES SINCE THE OIL CHANGE, THAT WAS PERFORMED WITH THE RECALL. I AM TAKING TO HONDA DEALER AGAIN FOR AN EXAM I WAS TOLD, TO CHECK OUT SPARK PLUGS AND X-RAY THEM AND ALSO FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, WITH 5219 MILES ON CAR NOW, SO WITH LESS THAN 700 MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGE I WILL NOW BE GETTING ANOTHER.

I VISITED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT A PERMANENT FIX WAS ON ITS WAY AND I SHOULD WAIT FOR A FORMAL RECALL, HOWEVER I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONG TERM AFFECT ON OUR CAR'S ENGINE SO I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND EXPRESSED MY DISPLEASURE WITH THE DELAY. THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR TWO LATER INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM THE RECALL WORK WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON JANUARY 8, 2019. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND FOUND IT WAS AT THE TOP OF THE ORANGE PLASTIC TIP OF THE DIPSTICK (I REALIZE THE FULL LEVEL IS AT THE TOP HOLE IN THE ORANGE TIP). HOPING THAT THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE WAS FIXED, I CHECKED THE OIL AGAIN TODAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2019 AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. THE OIL LEVEL WAS FOUND TO BE WAY ABOVE THE FULL MARK AND BEYOND THE TOP OF THE ORANGE TIP BY MORE THAN '. THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY VEHICLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA MC AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A TECH WHO INFORMED ME THAT "THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO RETURN TO THE DEALER". I EXPRESSED MY DISPLEASURE WITH THIS RESPONSE AND SHE REPEATED HER "CANNED" RESPONSE. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE/ENGINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING IT AT 35MILES AN HOUR GAUGE WOULD GO UP SOME ,AND WHEN SLOWING TO 25 MILES GAUGE WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO COLD, WITH NO HEAT. CAR WOULD ALSO STALL AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND LEFT IN PARK WHEN I WOULD GET IN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WOULD ALL HAPPEN DURING COLD WEATHER. HONDA DID THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE GAS AND OIL MIXTURE PROBLEM. DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DID THE RECALL UPDATE ON CONTROL PANEL AND SOFTWARE.GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPPING DOWN TO COLD AND LOSS OF HEAT,WHEN DRIVING SHORT TRIPS. HONDA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM HONDA (LOCATED AT 4613 E LINCOLN HWY, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410, (219) 947-3900) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: APAS12142018901 (EQUIPMENT, ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THE ENGINE OIL IS BEING DILUTED WITH GASOLINE DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN BY HONDA. WE FIRST NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN IN OCTOBER 2018. WE BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN NOV 2018, THEY NOTED THE PROBLEM AND DID AN OIL CHANGE. HONDA RELEASED TSB 18-114 IN DEC 2018 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY CR-V TO THE DEALER ON 01/03/2019 AND THEY APPLIED THE FIX PER TSB 18-114. HOWEVER 3 WEEKS LATER, I NOTICED GASOLINE STILL DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE ON 01/30/2019 (FOR FREE) AND ADVISED TO COME BACK IN 1,000 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. I AM AFRAID HONDA HAS NO REAL FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND THIS CONSTANT DILUTION WITH LEAD TO LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS LIKE STALLING.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NOV 9, 2018. FROM 50-450 MILES, HAD VERY POOR AVG MPG (AVG 12-16 MPG COMBINED). ON JAN 1, WITH UNDER 450 MILES ON CAR, AND WITHIN THE FIRST 1.5 MILES OF DRIVING (DRIVING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE), COMPUTER MPG INDICATOR BECAME ERRATIC/BLINKING FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES (INDICATED FROM 2 - 80 MPG AND OCCASIONALLY APPEARED AS -------) THEN RETURNED TO HIGHER THAN USUAL NUMBER. JAN 2, STARTED CAR, VERY STRONG SMELL OF RAW GAS INSIDE CABIN (HAD TO OPEN WINDOWS) FOR ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES - REPORTED TO/MADE APPT WITH DEALER. JAN 3, BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR APPT, TOLD NO ODOR CURRENTLY DETECTED BY SERVICE MANAGER IN CABIN, NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND DID NOT TAKE CAR OR PROVIDE REPAIR ORDER NUMBER. AT 594, (FEB 5) RETURNED TO DEALER WITH STRONG SMELL OF RAW GAS IN OIL (ON DIPSTICK AND OVER ENGINE WITH HOOD UP). OIL ON DIPSTICK APPEARED RUNNY. DEALER CONFIRMED GAS IN OIL, AMERICAN HONDA INSTRUCTED DEALER THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM AND NOT TO CHANGE OIL. DEALER CHANGED OIL AS A COURTESY TO ME. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS RAW GAS ODOR (IF INVOLVED IN MINOR ACCIDENT, WILL VEHICLE EXPLODE) AND DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ONGOING DAMAGE TO ENGINE, POWERTRAIN ETC. RAW GAS IN CABIN (EVEN IF SPORADIC) AND OIL IS NOT NORMAL. AMERICAN HONDA HAS NOT YET RETURNED MY CALLS BUT HAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2018. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE "FULL" MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. CHECKED ON-LINE AND LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION, NOTING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINES ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. DEALER CHANGED OIL AND FILTER AT NO CHARGE. PROBLEM PERSISTED, WITH 3 MORE OIL CHANGES AT NO COST OVER NEXT 4 MONTHS DUE TO GASOLINE DILUTION OF OIL AND CONSEQUENT OVERFILL OF CRANKCASE AS READ ON THE DIPSTICK. HONDA DEALERSHIP CARRIED OUT A HONDA PRODUCT UPDATE ON THIS VEHICLE REFERENCED AS "1245A2 PRODUCT UPDATE CAMPAIGN" THAT INVOLVED A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN WHICH THE PCM AND TCM WERE PROGRAMMED AND THE A/C CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. OIL LEVELS SEEMED NORMAL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, BUT ONCE AGAIN WERE WELL OVER THE FULL MARK AND HAD A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR ON FEBRUARY 11, 2019. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM CHECKED AND WAS INFORMED THAT HONDA NOW STATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT OIL CHANGES FOR OVERFILLED OIL CONDITION WILL NO LONGER BE DONE AT NO CHARGE. I SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE AND WILL HAVE THIS DONE IN ONE WEEK. CAR HAS 12,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV'S WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE. HONDA NEEDS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR OFFER A REFUND ON THE VEHICLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR EARLY ENGINE WEAR AND FAILURE SEEMS OBVIOUS DUE TO GASOLINE DILUTED OIL. ALSO, THERE IS SOMETIMES A GASOLINE ODOR IN OR NEAR THE VEHICLE.

GAS AND OIL SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. GAS IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL CAUSING OVERFILL LEVEL. OIL LEAK ON FLOOR OF GARAGE. FEAR GAS IN OIL WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR OF ENGINE.

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR OIL DILUTION ISSUE AND ENGINE NOT WARMING UP PROPERLY AND GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE. HONDA REPAIRED ON 1/11/19. RECALL REPAIR DID NOT WORK. TOOK IT BACK ON 1/16/19. STILL DOES NOT WORK. I STARTED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY AND LEFT IT RUN FOR 35 MINUTES WITH HEATER ON HIGH AND FAN ON HIGH STILL BLOWING ICE COLD AIR TEMP GAUGE DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. STILL SMELL GAS IN VEHICLE ENGINE OIL IS OVERFILLED ABOUT 3/8 INCH ABOVE FULL ON DIP STICK. ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 2/12/19 TO TRY AND FIX FOR THIRD TIME. SATURDAY MORNING 2/9/19 AT 7:10 IN MORNING ON WAY HOME FROM WORK 23 DEGREES OUT I HAD TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE WAS MAKING ME SICK. SUNDAY MORNING AT 7:10 ON WAY HOME FROM WORK 17 DEGREES OUTSIDE STARTED VEHICLE UP AT 6:50 7:05 I GOT IN VEHICLE STILL ICE COLD CLEANED FROST AND ICE OFF VEHICLE AS BEST I COULD. VEHICLE WILL NOT WARM UP UNLESS IT IS DRIVEN!!! STARTED DRIVING HOME AND WINDSHIELD IS SOLID ICE NO SENSE IN STOPPING BECAUSE WILL NOT HEAT UP UNLESS VEHICLE IS MOVING. THESE VEHICLES ARE ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. HONDA IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES BUT DOES NOTHING. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES YET AND NOT ENOUGH LAWSUITS. EVERYONE OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND BANNED FROM THE ROAD UNTIL REPAIRED. I ASKED JONES HONDA OF LANCASTER PA WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR A LOANER CAR UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AND THEY SAID NO THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT LOANER CARS BUT WILL RENT ME ONE. I PAID ABOUT $32,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2018 HONDA CRV IN AUGUST OF 2018 AND SOON AFTER FOUND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL IN THE 1.5 L MODELS IN THE YEARS 2017 AND 2018. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL SOON AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED IT APPEARED TO BE A BIT HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL MYSELF AT ABOUT 1500 MILES AND FOUND THERE WAS 7.5 QUARTS WHEN THE ACTUAL AMOUNT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3.7 QUARTS. WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF CHANGING THE OIL I NOTICED THE OIL WAS UP HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK AGAIN SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT WILDE HONDA FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD SOON BE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK A COUPLE WEEKS LATER TO HAVE THE FIX DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND SOON AFTER FOUND THE OIL HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA SERVICE AGAIN AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL BUT DID NOT CHECK HOW MUCH OIL WAS ACTUALLY IN THE ENGINE. I PULLED OUT OF HONDA SERVICE AND IT IMMEDIATELY APPEARED HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK BUT I WENT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAITED A WEEK OR SO AND CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND CHECKED THE AMOUNT OF OIL WHICH WAS 4.7 QUARTS SO 1 QUART OVER. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN DO NO MORE TO HELP AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT HONDA OR GO THROUGH MEDIATION. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND I SEE IT IS PRETTY WIDESPREAD AND NOT JUST IN THE USA. I GUESS I WILL WORK THROUGH MEDIATION AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. WE'D REALLY LIKE TO JUST TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW MODEL THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TOYOTA RAV4 INSTEAD.

THE ENGINE IS DILUTED WITH GAS. WHEN I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN A COLD MORNING, THE OIL LEVEL IS 2 INCHES ABOVE THE MAX OIL LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK. I CALLED HONDA HELP LINE, AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE KNOWN TSBS FOR OUR CAR, AND THEY REFUSE TO APPLY THE TSBS TO MY CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE ROLLING OUT THE FIX TO OTHER STATES FIRST.

MY 2018 HONDA CR -V 1,5 HAS A ISSUE WITH GAS GETTING IN THE OIL, I DID TAKE TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL AT 12913 MILES TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AT 14830 MILES I CHECKED THE OIL IN THE 1917 MILES SINCE RECALL PERFORMED OIL BECAME ABOUT A QUART MORE SO OIL IS DELUDED WITH GAS STILL A ISSUE AFTER HONDA RECALL , I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID JUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A OIL CHANGE , I CAN NOT PAY $75 PLUS EVERY 2K MILES FOR A OIL CHANGE , HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION OR ACTS LIKE THEY EVEN THINK THIS IS A BIG ISSUE

PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE GETTING INTO ENGINE OIL AND TURNING OIL DARK BROWN. ENGINE 1.5-LITER TURBO. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE OIL RAISES THE OIL LEVEL, AND TRIGGERS A TERRIBLE SMELL AND BRINGS INTO QUESTION THE PROSPECT OF LONG-TERM DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE OIL'S INABILITY TO PROPERLY PROTEST THE ENGINE. BOUGHT CAR NEW FEB 1, 2018. AUG. 8, 2018 FIRST DEALER SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE MILEAGE 6,532 MAINTENANCE INDICATOR 15%. AT CHANGE OIL CHECKED OUT AT FULL AND CLEAR. CHECKED OIL IN EARLY NOV AND FOUND THE CLEAR OIL WAS NOW OVER THE FULL MARK BY HALF INCH AND HAD TURNED DARK BROWN. ON INTERNET FOUND OTHER CAR OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HAD OIL CHANGED BEFORE NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF OIL PROBLEM. JAN 31, 2019 MAINTENANCE INDICATOR WAS AT 30% AND DARK BROWN OIL WAS HALF INCH OVER FULL ON DIPSTICK. MILEAGE AT 12,005 MILES. AVERAGE DRIVING 1000 MILES A MONTH. MOSTLY OPEN HIGHWAY DRIVING. DEALER SAID THAT HONDA HAD A FIX BUT FIX DID NOT APPLY TO THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A COLD WEATHER STATE. ENGINE GET UP AND GO HAS GOTTEN WORSE THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

PURCHASED THE 2018 HONDA CR-V EX-L NEW FROM PEARSON HONDA, MIDLOTHIAN VA. 23112. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THE ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DURING DECEMBER 2018, I CALLED THE DEALER COMPLAINING THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL. I WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY OFFERED TO CHANGE THE OIL FREE OF CHARGE. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS ENGINE DEFECT DURING 2017 AND STILL INSTALLED THE DEFECTED ENGINES IN THE 2018 CR-V. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN VA. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO KEEP BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR ADDITIONAL FREE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND ANY ASSISTANCE FROM YOU WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SECOND ISSUE: WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WOULD BRAKE VERY HARD, USUALLY AS A SECOND VEHICLE IS BEING OVER TAKEN IN THE RIGHT LANE. I REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE SENSORS ARE JUST VERY SENSITIVE. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM.

THE ACTIVE SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS RANDOMLY SWITCH THEMSELVES ON AND OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ARE UNRELIABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPEN IN NORMAL DRIVING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND COLD WITH SNOW FLURRIES. THIS VEHICLE FAILS TO WARM TO TO "NORMAL" OPERATING TEMPERS ESPECIAL ON MN COLD DAYS. IT MAY NOT WARM UP PERIOD ON DAYS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE FALL TO 15 DEGREES OR LOWER. ON DAYS OF 50 DEGREES OR LESS IT WARMS UP WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT IN LOW SPEED SITUATIONS IT MAY NOT WARM UP AT ALL. THERE IS THE DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR AT TIMES. ADDITIONALLY THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AS THE OIL LEVEL REGISTERS ABOVE THE MAX OIL LEVEL LINE ON A REGULAR BASIS. IN MY MIND THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES. I WONDER IF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL ACTUALLY WORK IF AND WHEN I NEED THEM. I WONDER IF THIS CAR IS GOING TO BURST INTO FLAMES AS I CAN SMALL GASOLINE IN THE CABIN. IF I SMELLED GAS IN ME HOUSE THEY RECOMMEND I LEAVE THE PREMISES. I CAN'T REALLY DO WITH I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DO HAVE A FEW PICTURES OF SOME OF THE ELECTRONIC WARNING AND TEMP GAUGE BUT CANNOT DOWNLOAD FROM THIS LOCATION. I AM LISTING HERE THE FIRST INCIDENCE BUT KNOW THERE ARE A FEW INCIDENCES.

DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION ON 01/30/2019 AFTER ~10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING (AND AFTER THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED A WARMED UP ENGINE) I EXPERIENCED ENGINE SPUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE ENGINE "SKIPPED" ONCE BELOW 10MPH WHICH FELT LIKE A BAD SHIFT (BUT IT HAS A CVT) AND THEN ONCE REACHING ~17MPH, THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY SPUTTERED PREVENTING FURTHER ACCELERATION; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHILE THE SPUTTERING WAS OCCURRING. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE AN ADDITIONAL ~.1 MILES TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION.

TAKATA RECALL THE OIL LEVEL IN MY HONDA EXTREMELY RAISED HIGHER THE MAX. BAR, AND IT SMELLS GAS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON HIGHWAY BECAUS I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THE OIL WILL LEAK OR THE CAR WILL JUST SUDDENLY STOPE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUES TO HONDA. THANK YOU

THE HEAT IN THE 2018 CRV DOES NOT OPERATE SAFELY DURING AVERAGE WINTER TEMPERATURES (NORTH DAKOTA). WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY COLD OUTSIDE, BELOW ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE HEAT IS NON EXISTENT CAUSING A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTING WINDOWS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR RESOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL ENGINE AND THERE WAS NO FIX IN PLACE FROM HONDA. I PROCEEDED WITH AN INCIDENT WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHICH THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THIS WAS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER AND MANY CAR FORUMS SAY OTHERWISE. I GUESS NOW I WAIT FOR RESOLUTION, TRADE THE VEHICLE, OR CRASH AS MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ON 2019-01-25 AT ABOUT 12:25PM I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. COMING FROM A FULL STOP I TURNED RIGHT ONTO A MERGE LANE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. CAR SPED UP THEN SUDDENLY LOST RPMS. I MADE IT TO 45MPH AND, FORTUNATELY, HAD ENOUGH TIME TO MERGE. IF I HAD STARTED ONE OR TWO SECONDS LATER, I WOULD'VE HAD TO PANIC-BRAKE IN THE MERGE LANE INSTEAD OF MERGING. THIS WAS DISCONCERTING. CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES EARLIER THAT MORNING; I HAD THEN DONE A QUICK SHOPPING TRIP AND HAD RESUMED DRIVING. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 30S. CAR IS REGULARLY DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES IN OUR SMALL TOWN. OIL LEVEL, MEASURED AT DIPSTICK WITH CAR LEVEL AND ENGINE COLD, IS WELL PAST THE HIGH MARK.

OIL DILUTION. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CRANKCASE CONTINUALLY RISES DUE TO GAS SEEPAGE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR TO THE ENGINE. ONGOING SINCE PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. THE ENGINE ALSO NEVER WARMS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE UNLESS YOUR GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY WHEN AROUND TOWN.

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, A VERY COLD CLIMATE. MY HONDA CR-V EX HAS REMOTE START. WITH EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, YOU REMOTE START THE VEHICLE, IT IDLES FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND YOUR CAR GETS WARM AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS. IT REMAINS COOL, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MANY MILES (SAY 10-15) BEFORE THE ENGINE HEATS UP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NOTICABLE HEAT. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD. DURING A RECENT ICE STORM, I COULD NOT KEEP MY WINDSHIELD FROM BUILDING UP ICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH HEAT TO THE WINDSHIELD EVEN USING THE DEFROST SETTING AND FANS AT FULL ON.

MY 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR ON WITH THE AIR COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IS APPARENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SERIOUS HEALTH SAFETY CONCERN AS INHALATION OF FUMES IS DEFINITELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THE DIPSTICK SHOWS THE OIL IS OVERFILLED BEYOND WHAT THE DIPSTICK MEASURES AND THE OIL SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY 5TH GENERATION CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE WITH TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CABIN. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY OIL LEVEL TO RISE TO UNSAFE LEVELS THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE DETERIORATION OF EXPENSIVE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON DECEMBER 4TH 2018, WHERE A MODULE RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND SOME SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS INSTALLED. THIS CHANGED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SICKENING SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS THE DIPSTICK SHOWING MORE OIL THAN IT CAN MEASURE ALONG WITH THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE OIL.

AFTER RECEIVING HONDA TSB 18-124 FROM HONDA, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE ISSUE, MY CR-V PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE! NOW, NOT ONLY DOES THE VEHICLE GET A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN, (ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP AND WHILE IDLING), BUT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED NEW PROBLEMS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE ARE: - WORSE OIL DILUTION (GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL) . IT ROSE BY 1 QUART IN 2 WEEKS SINCE GETTING THE UPDATE (ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING) - A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL AND EVEN AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE - WORSE GAS MILEAGE. A DECLINE BY SEVERAL MPGS - COLDER CABIN -- TAKES MUCH LONGER TO GENERATE HEAT THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION ASAP. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE HONDA ' USERS ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AFTER THEIR UPDATE.

I CHANGED OIL MYSELF AT 6,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 16,000 BY THE DEALER THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A/C COMPUTER. THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT WILL REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE SAME A/C COMPUTER. SO, I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK ONLINE JANUARY 6TH FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF CR-V'S HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. SINCE I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MINE HAS MIXED. MY OIL WAS 1/2' PAST FULL. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN JANUARY 10TH. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? I FEEL I WAS SET UP WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THE A/C RECALL WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'LL SURE BE KEEPING AN EYE ON MY OIL AFTER THE REPAIR.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR CAN EVEN FIX IT.

WITH ALL THE BUZZ ON INTERNET AND ALSO C.R.ABOUT GAS MIXING WITH OIL, I BOUGHT A 2018 CRV WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE, I CHECKED MY OIL IT WAS PASSED THE FULL MARK AND SMELLED OF GAS.I TOOK THE OIL CAP OFF IT ALSO HAD A SMELL OF GAS.SO MOST OF US KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING, LONG STORY SHORT RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ADVISING TO SET A APPOINTMENT FOR A "FIX" I HOPE THIS WORKS HERE IN OHIO.MY APPOINTMENT IS FOR 1-7-2019,ALTHOUGH SOUNDS LIKE A IT DOESN'T WORK FROM COMMENTS PEOPLE HAVE MADE AFTER THEY TOOK THEIR CARS IN. PLEASE HELP!

ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING POSSIBLE MOTOR DAMAGE. DEALER REDID A FUEL MAPPING, AND MADE IT SO TEH FAN CANNOT BLOW UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED. THIS WONT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THESE DIRECT INJECTED MOTORS LET GASOLINE PAST THE RINGS WHEN COLD, AND IF THE CAR IS COLD FREQUENTLY, THE GASOLINE WILL NOT VAPORIZE FORM THE OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, THE INCREASED VOLUME OF LIQUID CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO LSOE POWER AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME, CAUSING A SAFETY RISK. I LIVE IN TEXAS, SO IT DOESN'T GET EXCEPTIONALLY COLD, BUT THIS HAPPENED ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. INTERNET SEARCHES SHOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES, AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SERVICE MANAGER. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1 MONTH OF DRIVING AND THE LEVEL IS ABOVE FULL WITH A SMELL OF GAS ONCE AGAIN.

THEY CHANGED THE OIL THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER ARRIVING BACK HOME TC A FEW WEEKS LATER WE GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA. ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26TH, WILLIAMS HONDA IN TC DID THE RECALL WORK. ON THURSDAY MY WIFE GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SHOPPING AND THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK. SHE CALLED THE HONDA DEALER AND BROUGHT THE HONDA TO THEM.

THE CAR IS STUMBLING ON IDLE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM TOO MUCH COMPRESSION. HONDA GARAGE STATES IT'S THE FIRST ONE THEY HEARD ABOUT. I SAY THAT'S BECAUSE HONDA HAS NOT TOLD CR-V 1.8L OWNERS TO CHECK! IF MORE CHECKED THEY WOULD SEE HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS. GAS IN OIL NO GOOD. THIS MUCH GAS IN OIL MEANS NEW ENGINE! WHAT IS HONDA DOING ABOUT IT? FREE OIL CHANGE. I HAVE 12000 MILES ON CAR, AND PROBABLY AT LEAST HALF OR MORE WITH HIGH LEVELS OF GAS IN OIL. FREE OIL CHANGE IS NOT HELPING MY ENGINE. HONDA SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SELL ME THIS CAR IF THEY KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING. THEY'RE HIDING IT BY NOT INFORMING THE OWNERS WHO ARE NOT CHECKING BEFORE OIL CHANGES.

PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V EX IN FLORIDA 4/18. WORKED FINE UNTIL A RECENT TRIP TO INDIANA WHERE IT WAS SUBJECTED TO COLD TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES AND IT'S PERFORMANCE SEEMED TO SUFFER COMPARED TO HOW IT WAS OPERATING IN WARMER FLORIDA. THE WORST PART WAS THE FAINT SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR THE ENTIRE TIME IN INDIANA. WASN'T SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT UNTIL I RETURNED TO FLORIDA AND STARTED INVESTIGATING THE MATTER AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM AND THE SMALL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL. THERE IS NO SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE NOW THAT IT'S BACK IN FLORIDA, SO I HAVE TO ASSUME IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COLD CLIMATE IT WAS SUBJECTED TO. IN EITHER CASE I NEED TO TRAVEL TO INDIANA IN THE WINTER FREQUENTLY AND THE PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN (WHATEVER IT'S CAUSE) NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I NOW READ WHERE HONDA IS GOING TO ROLL OUT A FIX, BUT IT WILL ONLY COVER CR-V'S IN NORTHERN STATES. IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN THAT IS NOT RIGHT! WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT TRAVEL FROM WARM CLIMATE FLORIDA TO INDIANA IN THE WINTER - WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ENDURE GASOLINE FUMES AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH POTENTIAL HARM TO OUR VEHICLES.

DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS OR SO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I GET HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, AND CHEST PAINS AND AN OVERALL ILL FEELING AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH REMAINS FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS LATER. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE AND WAS WAY OVER THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY 11/28, WHO CALLED HONDA CORPORATE TO TRY AND GET ME A LOANER CAR AND HONDA CORPORATE STATED THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS MAKING ME FEEL EXTREMELY ILL. I HOPE HONDA TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE OIL DILUTION - GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE A LOT INSIDE THE CAR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE ENGINE DOES NOT GET WARMED UP FAST ENOUGH. THE ENGINE OPERATES TOO COLD EVEN AFTER DRIVING ABOUT A MILE DISTANCE. ANOTHER MAJOR ISSUE IS THAT THE ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING OUT. LEAKED OIL IS OBSERVED UNDER THE ENGINE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE JOIN. THE DEALERS IN US WOULD NOT FIX THESE ISSUES OR DO NOT EVEN HAVE A FIX FOR THEM ALTHOUGH IT IS MAJOR ISSUES FOR MANY 9TH GEN CR-VS.

THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE FILL MARK BY A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT AND THERE WAS A DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE OIL FILLER CAP. THE CAR WAS TWO WEEKS OLD AND HAD 225 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT SMELL GASOLINE AND THE OIL LEVEL LOOKED GOOD. TOTAL LIES. THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH IT.

GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE OIL, FUEL ODORS IN CABIN, ENGINE HESITANCY

Mileage: 43

PURCHASED NEW 2018 HONDA CR-V AWD DECEMBER 2017 FROM DEALER IN ORLANDO FL. WITHIN FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE "GAS/FUEL" SMELL FILLED THE CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A FRIEND (LATE SUMMER) THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUE WITH THE 1.5 L EARTHDREAMS HONDA ENGINE. AREA OF ISSUE IS OIL DILUTION BY FUEL "LEAKING" INTO IT & MIXING. I THEN BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT HONDA HAD ALREADY RECALLED A HUGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN CHINA WITH THIS OIL DILUTION ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE. WHEN I CALLED MY HONDA DEALER TO ASK ABOUT ISSUE/REPAIR, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE OF THIS TYPE AND THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS/TSBS REGARDING ISSUE. WOW? THAT'S WHEN MY CONCERN LEVEL ROSE, AS ON THE DEALER LEVEL THERE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETE DENIAL/ADMITTANCE OF ANY PROBLEM. OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED "GAS ODOR" IN CABIN, POOR PERFORMANCE AND EVEN STALLING OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD A STALLING ISSUE (YET) - BUT I DRIVE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY IN MODERATE /HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS AND CAN'T IMAGINE THE DANGER THAT COULD RESULT FROM MY CAR "STALLING" WHILE I'M DRIVING(OR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER).ANOTHER "CHECK" TO VERIFY IF MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE IS TO EXAMINE OIL LEVEL ON DIPSTICK. WHEN MY OIL LEVEL IS CHECKED, THE LEVEL TENDS TO READ HIGH (EVEN ABOVE FULL LINE ON DIPSTICK) AND DIPSTICK HAS STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. NOT GOOD AS IT SIGNALS FUEL IS MAKING IT'S WAY INTO MY ENGINE OIL. ONCE FUEL MIXES WITH THE OIL IT WILL BREAK DOWN THE VISCOSITY AND ENGINE WILL "WEAR OUR PREMATURELY" OR LEAD TO FAILURE. AS OF TODAY (11/14/18) MY CAR IS NOT STALLING OUT (ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT) BUT MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY IS RISING AS HONDA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET REGARDING ADMITTING AND FIXING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

GASOLINE IS CONTAMINATING AND DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. OIL TURNED BLACK AND DILUTED BY THE GASOLINE AND HAD TO BE CHANGED WITH LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. CONCERNED THAT THE GASOLINE DILUTED OIL IS POSING A FIRE AND SAFETY RISK.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT # 11138878, 11138881, AND 11139308. 1 MONTH OLD CRV, 2ND TIME TOOK TO DEALER FOR OIL OVERFULL/ OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. THEY HAVE A NEW SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH DIRECTED THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL (NOT FILTER) AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DEALT WITH HOW GASOLINE WAS SPRAYED INTO THE CYLINDERS AND WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE GASOLINE-IN-OIL CONDITION. AFTER A FEW DAYS -- AGAIN THE OIL IS OVERFULL (BY ABOUT AN INCH OVER "FULL"), THE OIL IS BLACK AND RUNNY AND REEKS OF GASOLINE. SOFTWARE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF ANYTHING IT'S WORSE. SECOND, NEW PROBLEM: THE SOFTWARE UPDATE CAUSED OUR MPG DISPLAY TO CHANGE FROM 29.5 MPG (OVER 4000 MILES) TO 23 MPG. MORE ALARMINGLY, OUR GASOLINE MILEAGE HAS DECREASED FROM 26 CITY/30 HIGHWAY/ 29 AVERAGE TO 26/29/27 AVERAGE.

THIS VEHICLE GETS A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE DO TO THIS SMELL, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON. MY WIFE SUFFERS FROM MIGRAINES AND CANNOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, VALLEY HONDA, IN AURORA IL. NO RESOLUTION WAS PROVIDED AS THEY INDICATED THE SMELL IS TIED TO THE WELL KNOW OIL-DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THIS 1.5 TRBO ENGINE, WHICH THEY CONFIRMED THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS (BUT FOR WHICH NO 'FIX' HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE U.S.) SO NOW, NOT ONLY AM I DAMAGING THE NEW ENGINE WHEN DRIVEN, BUT ALSO THE OCCUPANT HEALTH BY EXPOSING THEM TO GASOLINE FUMES. THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL ASAP.

MY 2018 CR-V SUFFERS FROM THE DREADED [OIL DILUTION ISSUE] WHERE GASOLINE GETS INTO THE OIL RAISING THE LEVEL ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE RESULT IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, SOMETIMES IN THE CABIN BUT ALWAYS WHEN YOU PULL THE DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE OIL. THE OIL LEVEL IS ALWAYS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE FULL MARK. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALER, AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL, THE HIGH LEVEL AND THE FACT THAT MANY 2017-18 CRV'S SUFFER FROM THIS SAME ISSUE. THEIR UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND MAKE LONGER TRIPS TO TRY TO BURN OFF THE GASOLINE IN THE OIL. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A STATEMENT IN THE FALL ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. FIRST A BIT ABOUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF CRV OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM UNEXPECTEDLY STALLING AND LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. SOME HAVE SUFFERED ACCIDENTS. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A VEHICLE YOU'D LIKE TO PUT YOUR FAMILY IN? ALSO, DILUTED MOTOR OIL HAS TO HAVE LONG TERM DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM VALUE OF A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GREAT RESALE VALUE - THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT. SO HONDA ROLLS OUT THEIR "FIX", AND I NOTICE THAT THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT THEY CONSIDER "COLD WEATHER STATES". THEY ALSO PLAN TO ROLL THESE "COULD WEATHER STATE" FIXES OUT OVER A MULTIPLE MONTH SCHEDULE. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. WHAT ABOUT MY CAR HONDA. I WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD TREAT ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THE SAME AND WOULD WANT TO FIX AS MANY AFFLICTED VEHICLES AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. HONDA HAS A VERY LOYAL OWNER-BASE. I BETCHA HOW THEY HANDLE THIS WILL AFFECT PEOPLE'S DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW IT WILL AFFECT MINE.

DO NOT RECALL THIS LOUD ENGINE AT PURCHASE. LOUD ENGINE SOUNDS DISAPPEAR AT CRUISE.

NEW VEHICLE CHECKED OIL APPROACHING 4500 MILES IN PREPARATION FOR FIRST OIL CHANGE. OIL WAS BLACK, RUNNY, SMELLED OF GASOLINE ON DIPSTICK AND OVER 1/2 INCH ABOVE FULL MARK ON DIPSTICK. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MUST HAVE BEEN OVERFILLED AT FACTORY. REPLACED OIL AND FILLED TO EXACTLY 50% MARK ON DIPSTICK AND DOUBLE CHECKED. 3 WEEKS AND 200 MILES LATER, OIL 1/8 -1/4 INCH ABOVE FULL. CAR SOMETIMES RUNS ROUGH WHEN COLD AT IDLE OR PARK. CALLED 2 DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND THEY SAID WE KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION GIVEN FROM HONDA IN US. CHINA AND JAPAN ANNOUNCED SAFETY RECALLS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WINTER IS COMING AND CONCERNED ABOUT COLD WEATHER RELIABILITY OF MOTOR.

AFTER DRIVING MY CRV LESS THAN 500 MILES THE OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE THE FULL INDICATOR LINE AND HAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I'VE CHANGED THE OIL THREE TIMES IN JUST UNDER 2000 MILES AND EACH TIME THE OIL LEVEL RISES AGAIN. I'VE ELIMINATED SHORT TRIPS ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO RUN AT LEAST 20 MINUTES AT FULL TEMPERATURE AND THAT HAS DONE NO GOOD. I'VE FOLLOWED HONDA'S SUGGESTION TO DRIVE IT IN SPORT MODE WHICH ALSO HAS DONE NO GOOD. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE AND HAS CONTINUED. I'VE CALLED SEVERAL HONDA DEALERS AND THEY OFFER NO ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN OFFERING AN OIL CHANGE AT $69.99.

AFTER 500KM OF DRIVING, THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE TOP LIMIT AND THERE WAS STRONG GAS SMELL COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR TAKES A LOT TIME TO WARM UP. VISITED THE SHERWOOD PARK HONDA DEALER ON NOV 5, 2018 FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY FOUND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 25MM ABOVE THE LIMIT. THEY DISCHARGED SOME OF THE OIL WITHOUT OIL CHANGE. THEY FOUND NO RECALLS ON THIS SO THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM AS MINOR AND SAYING PERHAPS THEY FILLED MORE OIL THAN NECESSARY. I CALLED HONDA CANADA TWICE ON NOV 5, 2018 REGARDING THE FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. THE CASE NUMBER IS 1150181. THEY SAID THERE WILL BE AN "UPDATE" ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM FROM EARLY NOVEMBER, BUT NOT SURE WHETHER MY VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED INTO THIS "UPDATE". THEY PROVIDED THE RECALL LINK FOR ME TO CHECK PERIODICALLY. HONDA CANADA MENTIONED DURING THE PHONE CALL THAT IF THE PROBLEM LIKE THIS FOUND, SHERWOOD HONDA SHOULD CALL THE TECHNICAL LINE FOR SUGGESTION. WHEN ASKED WHETHER THEY HAVE CALLED HONDA CANADA REGARDING SUGGESTION OF OIL DILUTION PROBLEM, SHERWOOD HONDA SAID THEY HAVE THE CALL AS WHAT TO DO WITHOUT CONSULTING TO HONDA CANADA.

THEY DID A COMPLIMENTARY OIL CHANGE, SAID THE DISPSTICK SMELLED LIKE EXHAUST AND TOLD ME THERE SHOULD BE A FIX IN NOVEMBER PER HONDA. JUST READ ABOUT THE PROPOSED FIX AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE ONLY DOING THIS IN COLD WEATHER STATES. I HAVE HGAD MY CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND HAVE LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT. I ONLY USE IT FOR SHORT TRIPS WHICH IS WHY I BELIEVE I MAY HAVE THIS ISSUE. CALLED HONDA AGAIN TODAY TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE IN TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.

AFTER READING CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE, I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND SMELL OF OIL ON MY 20018 HONDA CRV WITH ABOUT 11,615 MILES. OIL LEVEL WAS OVER "FULL" LEVEL OF ORANGE DIPSTICK AND SMELLED OF RAW GAS. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL DEALER FOR OIL INSPECTION AND CHANGE. THEY CONFIRMED THAT "VEH WAS HALF QT OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". THEY CONTACTED HONDA TECHLINE FOR CORRECTION AND RECEIVED THIS REPLY: "CONTACTED TECHLINE WAS TOLD COLD START SHORT TRIP IS NORMAL ADVISE CUSTOMER TO TAKE LONGER TRIPS, AND THAT HONDA IS LOOKING INTO IT". IN OTHER WORDS, THEY BLAMED THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING HABITS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (SEE CRV RECALL IN CHINA). OIL WAS CHANGED IN SPRING AND WE WERE IN RURAL AREA OVER THE SUMMER SO COLD START AND SHORT TRIPS DOES NOT APPLY. DEALER SAID FIX MIGHT BE AVAILABLE MID NOVEMBER.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX-L IN DECEMBER OF 2017. I NOTICED WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS EXTREMELY SLOW TO CLIMB, AND OFTENTIMES WOULD "LOSE" TEMPERATURE ON COLDER DAYS. I SPENT TIME TESTING THE CONDITIONS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE SO I WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO PROVIDE THE DEALERSHIP. I WOULD DRIVE BOTH STOP-AND-GO, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 15-30 MINUTES AT A TIME TO GET THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NORMAL, AND THEN PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. AFTER ABOUT 2-5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WOULD START TO DROP, EVENTUALLY DROPPING TO 1-2 INDICATOR MARKS ON THE GAUGE. I WOULD ALSO NO LONGER HAVE ANY HEAT AT THAT POINT (THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD BLOW COLD). I WENT THROUGH 2 SEPARATE DEALERS TROUBLESHOOTING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HAD IT IN SERVICE THE LONGEST. AFTER MULTIPLE DAYS IN THE SHOP WITH NO UPDATE, I FELT THEY WERE NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS ON THE ISSUE SO I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA. THEY ASSIGNED THE ISSUE TO ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMER ADVOCATES TO OVERSEE THIS SERVICE ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA OF AMERICA THAT THE ISSUE WAS REFERRED TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF SUPPORT FOR HONDA IN MY AREA. AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL TIME IN SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS REVIEWED W/ HONDA'S TECHNICAL / ENGINEERING TEAM WHO DEEMED THIS AS "NORMAL". LAST MONTH I CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE ARTICLES RELATED TO A GASOLINE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM IN 2017/2018 CR-V'S, AND A "SIDE EFFECT" OF THAT PROBLEM BEING LOW ENGINE TEMPERATURE / LOSS OF ENGINE TEMPERATURE. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK ON THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE.

DEALER INFORMS ME THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA AND WAS TOLD THE SAME . I INTEND TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP OWNER AND ASK IF I MIGHT COME ONCE EACH WEEK AND ADD GASOLINE TO HIS OIL OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES OVER CONCERN WITH GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. ON MY FIRST VISIT, THEY ASKED ME TO PAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY WOULD MARK THE LEVEL OF OIL. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE CHANGED OIL LEVEL WAS EXACTLY AT THE FULL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED AND VERIFIED THAT THE OIL LEVEL HAD INCREASED BY 1/2" AND SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA TECH SUPPORT. TWO DAYS LATER THEY SENT ME A MESSAGE SAYING THIS WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

WHEN TURNING LEFT ONTO 4-LANE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED UNEXPECTED SEVERE HESITATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER ASKING FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND ANY ECU OR CVT SOFTWARE UPDATES. ON 10/4/2018 THE DEALER "COULD NOT REPLICATE" AND REPORTED SOFTWARE IS UP TO DATE. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE. ON 10/5/18 I READ THE CONSUMER'S UNION REPORT REGARDING ENGINE OIL DILUTION ON THIS VEHICLE. WHILE THE FILL LEVEL ON MY DIPSTICK IS ~1/8TH INCH ABOVE FULL, NO GASOLINE SMELL FROM THE DIPSTICK OR INTERIOR HAS OCCURRED TO DATE.

ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE ENGING OIL. WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL (DIPSTICK) OIL IS OVERFILLED AND SMELLS OF GASOLINE

TO MY REGRET, I JUST PURCHASED THE 2018 CRV EX 2WD YESTERDAY, 10/19/2018 BRAND NEW WITH 255 MILES ON IT. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS ON THE TURBO CHARGED 1.5 L 190 HP ENGINE HAVING THE POSSIBILITY GAS IN THE OIL TANK, I REGRET THIS MAY BE TRUE. I FOUND THIS ON INFORMATION OUT ON CONSUMER REPORTS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND GREW ANXIOUS. THIS CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE. THIS MORNING BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL. I REMOVED THE DIPSTICK, AND IT HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE PRESENT. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND ALL BUT ONE NOT BY HONDA. NEVER SMELLED GASOLINE ON ANY OIL DIPSTICK IN MY LIFE. BUT I NEVER HAD A TURBO ENGINE EITHER. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT KNOW HOW UNSAFE THIS CONDITION IN THE DAYS THAT FOLLOW. BUT I BELIEVE THIS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD.

THIS IS AN ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT NUMBER 11140475. BESIDES A MAINTENANCE ISSUE OF THE OIL DILUTION BY GASOLINE LEAKAGE INTO THE CRANKCASE, AS REPORTED IN THAT COMPLAINT, THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL ON THE 1.5 LITER TURBO. THERE ARE RAW GASOLINE FUMES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS CAUSED HEADACHES AND NAUSEA TO CHILDREN IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND PROBLEMS FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL. THE ONLY SOURCE OF THE GAS FUMES APPEARS TO BE THE GAS LEAKAGE INTO THE ENGINE.

PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM KEATING HONDA IN CONROE, TX. SINCE DAY 1 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY LCD SCREEN THAT CONTROLS THE AUDIO AND CLIMATE. ABOUT MID SEPTEMBER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SHUTTING OFF ALONG WITH THE LCD SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL THAT SHOWS HOW FAST I'M GOING. DEALERSHIP AWARE BUT HAD ISSUES WITH GETTING LOANER SO UNABLE TO DROP OFF FOR REPAIR. THE SCREEN WOULD FLICKER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OR "AUDIO ISN'T RESPONDING" ERROR SHOWS UP AND BOTH LCD SCREENS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD START THE CAR AND WOULD RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE LIKE "ANTI THEFT SYSTEM: THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST POWER. PRESS THE POWER KEY FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM" ... PLEASE FIX YOUR [XXX]! I WAS GIVEN A WARNING IN CONROE BECAUSE I WAS SPEEDING AND UNAWARE OF MY SPEED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A DAILY PROBLEM FOR ME.

BOUGHT CAR IN MAY, 2018 AT SMART HONDA, IOWA. AT 1200 MILES , DISCOVERED GAS IN MY OIL. IT SMELLED OF GAS WHEN THE HEATER WAS ON. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT DEALER AND KEPT THE OLD OIL SAMPLE FOR REFERENCE. CONTACTED MANUF 'S CSR ON 10/17 AND REP SAID, WE WILL CHANGE THE OIL WHEN YOU WANT BUT THERE IS NO FIX YET AND NOTHING ON THE HORIZON. I CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVE ONLY SHORT DISTANCES WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AS I FEAR STALLING AND SEIZING OF THE ENGINE OCCURS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THE OLD OIL HAS THE VISCOSITY OF ALCOHOL AND IS BLACK. I AM GETTING POOR (26 MPG) MILEAGE AND THE OIL STICK WAS "OVER-TOPPED." I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE RINGS AND CYLINDERS ARE EXPERIENCING PREMATURE WEAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, WHICH IS ONLY COMMON SENSE. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE CAR BACK FOR A REFUND OR PURCHASE ANOTHER NEW CAR WITHOUT THIS ENGINE. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING STALLING AT DANGEROUS AND INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. I WOULD NOT SELL THIS CAR TO ANYONE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES OR TRADE IT IN TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DEALER SO THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS. EVEN WITH A "FIX" I WOULD BE CHANGING MY OIL EVERY 500 TO 1,000 MILES OUT OF FEAR OF STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M DEVASTATED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO MY BRAND NEW CAR. I TEND TO KEEP CARS 10 YEARS. I FEEL I WILL LOSE A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME BECAUSE OF THIS LEMON. HONDA (MANUF) HAS NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME. HONDA HAS STOPPED SELLING THIS ENGINE FOR 2019 BUT CONTINUES TO SELL 2018'S. THEY SOLD ONE TO ME WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BACK IN JAN 2018 ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS. THIS ENGINE DEFECT HAS PREVENTED ME FROM ENJOYING NORMAL LIFE. I CAN'T TAKE LONG TRIPS OR DO THE THINGS I NORMALLY DO. I'M A RETIRED WIDOWER AGE 64 AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ENGINE OIL BEING DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. STRONG FUEL SMELL AT THE DIPSTICK WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL. OIL LEVEL RISING. SEEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALER. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, SO I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED HONDA. HONDA NEEDS TO BE ENCOURAGED TO DEVELOP A FIX QUICKLY, AS THEIR RECOMMENDED SOLUTION OF MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES IN THE 500 TO 1000 MILE RANGE IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY CONCERN IS FUEL IN THE OIL WILL SHORTEN ENGINE LIFE.

OUR NEW 2018 HONDA CR-EX-L HAS THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE. AFTER 1,012 TOTAL MILES, THE OIL WAS MORE THAN A QUART HIGH AND SMELLED OF GASOLINE. I HAD CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHEN WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAD BEEN NORMAL - BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER MARKS WHILE COLD. I COULD SMELL GASOLINE BOTH ON THE RAG AND COMING FROM THE CRANKCASE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND COMMUNICATED THE ABOVE PLUS I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS FROM THE GASOLINE. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THE REGIONAL HONDA SERVICE REP AND THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. HONDA USA PAID FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT 'WE KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ONE YET.' HONDA WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY OF OUR SAFETY RELATED CONCERNS. WE ASKED ABOUT: ENGINE FIRE, FUEL VAPORS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN, ENGINE STALLING, HEATER/DEFROST NOT WORKING IN WINTER, DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE FROM FUEL CONTAMINATED OIL. ALL QUESTIONS HAD NO ANSWER FROM EITHER HONDA USA NOR FROM THE DEALER. AFTER ~ 600 MILES OF ADDITIONAL DRIVING, THE PROBLEM IS BACK AS THE OIL IS OVER-FULL AGAIN. IT IS LOOKING LIKE THE OIL WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED EVERY 800 MILES OF DRIVING. WE REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FUEL ACCUMULATING IN OIL PROBLEM. WE ASSUME THAT THE GASOLINE IS ACCUMULATING IN THE OIL DURING ENGINE RUNNING USEAGE OF THE VEHICLE; SO INJECTOR SPRAY IS WRONG RATHER THAN A FUEL-LINE LEAK.

I PURCHASED THIS 2018 CR-V AWD IN JANUARY 2018. NOW AS OF OCTOBER 2018, AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WE ARE EXPERIENCING STRONG SMELLS OF FUEL INSIDE THE CABIN EVERYTIME WE DRIVE ON A COLD DAY. THE SYMPTOMS ARE IN LINE WITH THE OCTOBER 2018 CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I CALLED MY DEALER ON OCTOBER 15, 2018 AND THEY HAVE NOTED THAT HONDA KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CONCERN FOR A $30K+ VEHICLE AND THAT MYSELF AND MY YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THE SMELL OF FUEL EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THE CR-V.

THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT. SHOWED THE SERVICE MANAGER MY CAR, AND HE STATED THAT THE GASOLINE ODOR IN THE OIL AND THE RISING OIL LEVEL WERE NOT NORMAL. I ALSO TOLD HIM I SOMETIMES SMELL A GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CABIN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE CAR. HE RECOMMENDED AN IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE, WHICH WAS DONE THAT SAME DAY. HE SAID HE WOULD NOTIFY HONDA ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND WOULD ADVISE ME WHEN A FIX IS AVAILABLE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD NO DRIVABILITY ISSUES.

HE CHECKED THE OIL AT 3000 MILES AND FOUND IT A QUART HIGH .... ( HUUMMM... OIL DIES NOT INCREASE .... AND IT REEKED OF GAS..... GAS IN THE OIL? HE STARTED RESEARCHING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CR-V .... AND THINGS STARTED TO REALLY SOUR.... USA HONDA HAS APPARENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CR-V FOR QUITE SOME TIME .... THEY HAVE KEPT IT UNDER THE RADAR.... IN CHINA THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 350,000 CR-V'S AND THEY HAVE STOPPED SALES.... CANADA HAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE... USA HONDA IS CLAIMING IT IS A COLD WEATHER ISSUE .... ( FIRST OFF I BOUGHT IT IN JULY AND SECONDLY.... A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER???? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.... AN AWD VEHICLE AT THAT!!!) HONDA IS SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION.... THERE IS NO SOLUTION.... GAS IS SEEPING INTO MY OIL WRECKING THE ENGINE AS I WRITE .... HONDA NEEDS TO STOP SALES.... FESS UP AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR A NEW CR-V WITH THE PREVIOUSLY PROVEN ENGINE.... STAY TUNED! MY HUSBAND FEELS OWNERS OUT THERE ARE NOT AWARE YET BECAUSE MOST DON'T CHANGE THEIR OWN OIL.... AND ALSO MOST DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE MILES IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THIS ENGINE AS HE HAS INDICATED 'THIS CR-V WITH 1.5 TURBO WILL NEVER MAKE 100,000 MILES BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED ...PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO RECALL THESE DISASTERS

FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE OIL CAUSING DILUTION. MY OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED AS A RESULT OF THAT AND IT CAN CAUSE THE OIL TO LOOSE VISCOSITY WHICH WON'T MAKE THE OIL AS EFFECTIVE ON THE ENGINE AND CAN CAUSE LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE.

"CUSTOMER STATES THERE IS A FUEL SMELL MIXED WITH OIL STATES DIPSTICK SMELL LIKE FUEL - CHECK AND ADVISE ADVISED CUSTOMER THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA HAS YET TO COME UP WITH A COUNTER MEASURE FOR ISSUE AT THIS TIME ADVISED CUSTOMER HE WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN FIX IS AVAILABLE."

I TAKE THAT TO MEAN HONDA IS AWARE EVERY CR-V WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE (DREAM ENGINE) HAS THIS ISSUE BUT IT ONLY MANIFESTS ITSELF IN COLDER CLIMATES. ALSO INTERESTING IS HONDA IS WAITING TO SHIP THE 2019 MODELS UNTIL FIX IS AVAILABLE, BUT NOT TAKING 2018 MODELS OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN HONDA IS RECALLING THE VEHICLE.

ON 10/8/2018, AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED IN THE MORNING, WE DROVE 130 MILES, ALL HIGHWAY MILES, WITH THE CR-V. THE NEXT MORNING WE CHECKED THE OIL. ALREADY IT WAS OVERFULL, AND ALREADY IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THE TEMPERATURES IN MICHIGAN THAT DAY (AND OTHERS AROUND IT) WERE ACTUALLY WARM, WITH A HIGH OF 80 DEGREES F. ON 10/9/18 WE BOUGHT A QUART OF HONDA 0W-20 OIL AT THE DEALER TO COMPARE THE SMELL. THE HONDA OIL SMELLS LIKE NOTHING ON A PAPER TOWEL. OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK OF MY CR-V REEKS OF GASOLINE.

2018 CRV-EXL PURCHASED ON 9/3/18, OUR 5TH HONDA (3RD CRV), CURRENTLY AT 620 MILES. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THE RELIABILITY OF HONDA VEHICLES, UNTIL RECENTLY. LAST FRIDAY (10/8/18), CNN NEWS REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORTS (CR) ARTICLE REGARDING THE CRV 2018 ENGINE PROBLEMS, INVOLVING FUEL MIXING W/ ENGINE OIL. APPARENTLY, THERE'S AN ISSUE REGARDING GAS MIXING W/ OIL IN 2017 & 2018 HONDA CRVS WITH 1.5-LITER ENGINES, POSSIBLY CAUSING STALLING AND ENGINE DAMAGE. NUMEROUS CR AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS INVOLVED STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, AND SMELL OF GAS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. HONDA IS WORKING ON A FIX NEXT MONTH. OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL ON THEIR CRVS AS IT WILL BE HIGHER AND LESS VISCOUS IF MIXED W/ GAS. WE CHECKED OUR CRV'S OIL LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS ON THE DIPSTICK. BROUGHT THE CRV THIS MORNING TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP. SERVICE REP REPORTED THAT THEIR TEST REVEALED NO GAS MIXED W/ THE OIL AND THAT THE SMELL IS FROM A SPECIAL OIL ADDITIVE THAT HONDA USES IN NEW VEHICLES. WE WERE ADVISED TO BRING THE CRV BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 1500 MILES. REP WAS NOT AWARE OF THE CR & NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON GAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL, UNTIL WE TOLD HIM. WE AGREED TO BRING THE CRV BACK FOR THE OIL CHANGE. CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM THE FIX IN NOVEMBER AND MENTIONED OUR VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CUSTOMER REP INSISTED THAT HONDA DOES NOT PUT ANY OIL ADDITIVE IN THE NEW CRVS AND THAT I WAS MISS-INFORMED BY THE SERVICE REP. I WAS REFERRED TO THE CRV MANUAL ON PAGE 572, STATING THAT OIL ADDITIVES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY. I WAS ASSURED THAT HONDA ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE MY CRV TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A 2ND OPINION AND OIL ANALYSIS. WE'RE IN THE 'WAIT AND SEE' MODE UNTIL THE FIX IS DEPLOYED NEXT MONTH.

OUR CR-V IS IN MICHIGAN BUT IT IS EARLY FALL AND TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 55 DEGREES AND 80 DEGREES F. SO IT IS NOT COLD WEATHER AND IT IS NOT SHORT TRIPS. OUR OIL IS OVERFULL BY ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART AND IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. IT IS DISHEARTENING BECAUSE WE ASKED THE SALESMAN ABOUT THE ENGINE BEFORE BUYING AND HE TOLD US NO PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER WE BOUGHT HE SAID "CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES." BY THE WAY AN OIL CHANGE IS GOING TO BE $60+ EACH TIME BECAUSE OF SYNTHETIC OIL.

I DID THIS FIRST AFTER THE CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 25 MINUTES 2X IN AN ATTEMPT TO 'BURN OFF' THE GASOLINE WITH THE END RESULT BEING THE SAME.

Mileage: 4,770

AT AROUND 7200 MILES I CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT TO BE ABOVE THE FULL LINE. THE OIL WAS VERY THIN AND HAD THE DISTINCT SMELL OF GAS. AFTER SHORT DRIVES AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SMELLS OF GAS. I DON'T SMELL GAS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Mileage: 7,257

STARTING TO DO THE GAS DILUTION IN THE OIL. OIL HAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS ON INCLINED ROADS THE ENGINE IS IN A STATE WHERE IT IS STALLING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE TO ACCELERATE HARDER TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM COMPLETELY STALLING OUT. THIS IS ALSO FOLLOWED BY A SMELL OF GAS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR.

JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CRV EXL I'VE HAD IT LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND PUT 600 MILES ON IT, THERE WAS A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE DRIVING IN TOWN. WHEN THEY GOT HOME I REALIZED IT WAS FROM GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL. WHEN THE OIL DIPSTICK WAS CHECKED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WAS NOTICEABLE AND THE OIL LEVEL READ HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. TOOK IT TO HONDA THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AND THEY CONFIRMED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HONDA DEALER CONTACTED HONDA TECH SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE ISSUE, 5 DAYS LATER DEALER CALLED AND SAID CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. ONCE THERE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE CAR AND HONDA WAS WORKING ON A TSB TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY DID CHANGE THE OIL, BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW DAYS I ALREADY SMELL GAS IN THE OIL AGAIN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE DEALERS HANDS ARE TIED WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE, I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM. CASE MANAGER HAS YET TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY NEWS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FROM SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN, BUT ALSO FROM GAS IN THE OIL AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF THE GAS OIL LEVEL BECOMES TO DILUTED.

NOTICED FUEL ODOR IN CAR AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS OVERFILLED, I THOUGHT, THEN NOTICED IT RAN OFF THE DIPSTICK LIKE WATER. IT SMELLED LIKE PURE GASOLINE AND WAS RED BROWN IN COLOR. CAR HAS 2054 MILES ON IT. REPORTED TO MY HONDA DEALER AND HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED. THEY, ROSEBURG HONDA, TOOK MY PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR OTHER INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO THIS SITUATION.

Mileage: 2,754

AT ABOUT 810 MILES ON ODOMETER, I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL AND IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER 2 TIMES AND LEFT CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS THE SECOND TIME. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS GAS SMELL IS NORMAL IN THE ENGINE OIL. I ALSO NOTICED OIL IS TURNING BLACK AND THE LEVEL IS RISING (DUE TO GASOLINE ENTERING THE CRANKCASE. DEALER DROVE IT ABOUT 200 MILES AND WHEN I GOT CAR HOME, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL WAS WORSE AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE FULL MARK (DUE TO GASOLINE ENTERING INTO ENGINE OIL. THIS POSES A VERY DANGEROUS THREAT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE OR THE GASOLINE IN OIL COULD START A FIRE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL.

Mileage: 810

AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. UPON ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION WITH OIL DILUTION (GAS GETTING MIXED IN WITH OIL). WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL, THE LEVEL WAS OVER WHAT IS SHOULD BE AND THE DIPSTICK SMELLED OF GAS.

Mileage: 4,000

FOR THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET.

RISING OIL LEVEL DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF OIL WITH FUEL AND WATER, 2018 HONDA CRV EX. ON JUNE 18, 2018, WHILE MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, EVERY COMPUTER ASSISTED WARNING UNEXPECTEDLY EVENTED ON THE DASH (HILL ASSIST, ACC, COLLISION MITIGATION, BRAKE SYSTEM, CEL, TPMS, ROAD DEPARTURE, TRACTION, POWER STEERING, VSA), THE CRV IMMEDIATELY AND HARSHLY SELF-BRAKED (OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE DRIVER). THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL DETERMINED THAT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL IN THE DIRECT-INJECTED EARTH DREAMS 1.5L REACHING A LEVEL OF 21MM ABOVE THE CURRENT LIMIT (THE RESOLUTION GIVEN BY HONDA TECH-LINE WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER EVERY 500 MILES). HAD MY WIFE BEEN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SHE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED, INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DIRECT-INJECTED 1.5L EARTH DREAMS TURBO ENGINE. HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR IT, AND CAN ONLY RECOMMEND THAT WE CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES. TO DATE, SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE ON 6/18/2018, WE'VE HAD THE CRV BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER AN AVERAGE OF EVERY 2 WEEKS (7/5/2018, 7/19/2018, AND 8/3/2018). WE'LL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP BY 8/17/2018 FOR YET ANOTHER OIL AND FILTER CHANGE, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WHEN UNDER CRUISE CONTROL, DUE TO THE OIL CONTAMINATION, THE RISING OIL LEVEL, CAUSING THE UNEXPECTED FIRING OF COMPUTER ASSISTED FEATURES.

2018 HONDA CRV-EX - STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL - TOTAL MILEAGE 1600. TOOK CRV TO DEALER TODAY TO CHECK GAS SMELL IN OIL. TECH CONFIRMED STRONG GAS SMELL IN OIL AND VERY BLACK AND RUNNY (THIN WATERY LIKE). THE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS FIRST LIKE EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW CRV - HE SAID HE'D EXPERIENCED OTHER ONES. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED A SAMPLE OF MY OLD OIL ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT HE HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ANYWAY, WE WILL CHANGE OUR OIL VERY OFTEN UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS HOPEFULLY, SAFELY RESOLVED. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE "FUEL IN OIL" ISSUE.

PURCHASED CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2018. NOTICED HEAT DIDN'T GET VERY WARM, AND WOULD COOL OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR ON A DOWNHILL. WINTER IN DELAWARE WAS NOT SEVERE IN JANUARY. AROUND 2200 MILES, I CHECKED MY OIL, FOUND IT ABOUT A HALF QUART HIGH, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. OIL IS ALSO VERY DARK, NEARLY BLACK. 1/2 QUART EXTRA GASOLINE IN OIL SUMP OF 3.7 QUARTS, MEANS ABOUT 12% OF THE OIL WAS GASOLINE. THIS PRESENTS 2 MAJOR DANGERS: FIRE HAZARD FROM EXCESS GASOLINE IN OIL, AND ENGINE FAILURE, DUE TO LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HONDA TWICE, AND 2400 & 4000 MILES, BOTH TIMES, THEY CONTACTED HONDA TECHLINE, AND PROVIDED AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE FREE OF CHARGE. I AM MINIMIZING MY USE OF THIS VEHICLE, HOPING HONDA WILL PORT "THE CHINA SOLUTION" TO THE US SOON. AS HONDA DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM IN THE US OR CANADA, IT WILL LIKELY BE UP TO THE REGULATORS OR LAWYERS TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. NHTSA - PLEASE STEP UP, REQUIRE A SOLUTION, BEFORE WE START FINDING BURNING HONDAS ON THE ROADSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE, TPMS, PARK, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH MILLS HONDA (8465 MN HWY 210, BAXTER, MN 56425, (218) 825-7525) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES.

NEW 2018 CR-V WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY. WITH SOME REPORTED ISSUES WITH OIL DILUTION REPORTED ON 2017 CR-V MODELS I KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE OIL LEVEL. NO ISSUE BEFORE OR AFTER THE 1ST OIL CHANGE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. (6000MILES) THIS WEEK AFTER A RANDOM CHECK ON THE OIL LEVEL I DISCOVERED IT WAS WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVEL OIL LEVEL WITH DEFINITE GASOLINE SMELL. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OVER (10000 MILES) AFTER COMPREHENSIVE TESTING INCLUDING EACH INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER THEY COULD FIND NO ISSUES. (HONDA TECH LINE WAS INVOLVED)THE DEALER SERVICE REP COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A FREE OIL/FILTER CHANGE AND SENT ON MY WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO WORK AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN HOME (40 MILES TOTAL APPROX.) AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK TODAY AND THE LEVEL IS RIGHT WHERE THE ORANGE PLASTIC INDICATOR PIECE MEETS THE METAL DIPSTICK. ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN. OIL WAS VERY SOUPY DRIPPING FROM DIPSTICK (NORMAL 0-20W OIL DOES NOT DO THIS) SO JUST OVERNIGHT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED, NOT IN A COLD CLIMATE. NO EXCESSIVE IDLING SINCE YESTERDAY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. I THINK THE REASON MORE PEOPLE HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS IS MANY HAVE NOT CHECKED THEIR DIPSTICK/ OIL LEVEL. AND WHY WOULD YOU IF YOU ARE DRIVING A NEW CAR. OIL IS BREAKING DOWN THE LUBRICATION OF THE OIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY FOR A CAR WITH A TURBO WHICH DEPENDS ON THAT OIL. TICKING TIME BOMB FOR HONDA AND SADLY FOR ME AS WELL.

ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION WHEN THE OIL DIP STICK WAS PULLED, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING OUT OF THE DIP STICK HOLE, AND IT SHOWED THE OIL WAS OVERFILLED WITH FACTORY OIL IN THE ENGINE. IT WAS OVERFILLED BY AT LEAST 1/4 INCH. WHEN THE ENGINE OIL WAS DRAINED DURING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 5827 MILES, THE OIL HAD A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE OIL SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS ALMOST NO VISCOSITY LEFT, AND DRAINED LIKE WATER OUT OF THE CRANKCASE. THE ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE.

HONDA 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IS GETTING ABNORMAL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AND WATER IN THE OIL. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WITH MOBIL 1 WAS JET BLACK AFTER 4,300 MILES OF USE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS 10,000 MILES. THE MOBIL 1 ENGINE OIL HAS BROKEN DOWN BEFORE 5,000 MILES.

WHEN I STOP ON LEVEL ROAD AND TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES FROM 700 RPM TO 1000-1100 RPM UP TP 7MPH.THATS WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE CAR.REPORT SAYS "VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE TILL REACHES7PH THEN DROP TO IDLE SPEED.THIS IS VEHICLE NORMAL OPERATION CONDITION.NO REPAIR NEEDED."THEY SAID ALL SYSTEMS ARE AT FACTORY SETTINGS.I'VE OWNED CARS FOR 55 YRS. AND NEVER HAD ONE DO THIS.THEY MIGHT ROLL SLIGHTLY BUT NEVER ACCELERATE.I FEEL IT IS A POSSIBLE DESIGN SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.IF YOU TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE YOU CAN REAR END SOMETHING OR KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE.THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS EVEN UP HILL AND EVERY TIME TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE.IF THIS IS FACTORY SETTING SOMETHING IS NOT RITE. *JS

THIS VEHICLE HAS "PUSH TO START". IF THE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. I FORGOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AFTER PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, AND I HAD TO GO BACK INTO THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. THE AUTOMAKER NEEDS TO ADD AN OPTION TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. THEY ALREADY OFFER A FEATURE TO LOCK THE CAR WHEN THE FOB MOVES AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY, SO MUCH OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND TESTED.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 FULLY LOADED TOURING CR-V 3 DAYS AGO ON MONDAY. FILING THIS REPORT ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 35 MILES ON IT AS I WRITE THIS. WE DROVE ROUGHLY 25 MILES TOTAL SINCE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER HEARING ABOUT OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL TO SEE IF IT SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE JUST IN CASE. FYI, IT WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT IT ACTUALLY DID SMELL, BUT IT DIDN'T JUST SMELL A LITTLE. IT SMELLED LIKE WHEN YOU GET GASOLINE ON YOUR HANDS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PAPER TOWEL IN HAND. EVERY SALESPERSON AND TECHNICIAN I HANDED THE PAPER TOWEL TO CONFIRMED THE OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK THAT WAS WIPED ON THE TOWEL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. THEY ARE REVIEWING THE PROBLEM,AND HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING AT IT DUE TO MY CONCERNS. SOUNDS MORE SERIOUS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME. I AM CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS KNOWN IN CHINA AND JAPAN WILL GROW TO BE LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NHSTA. CHINA HAS HALTED SALES OF THE CR-V UNTIL THEY CAN DETERMINE A REASONABLE FIX. APPARENTLY A RECALL TO ADJUST SOFTWARE TIMINGS WAS NOT ENOUGH. ALSO SHOULD MENTION HONDA CANADA IS MONITORING THIS AND SENT A BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS.

UNTIL THEN, CHECK OIL EVERY COUPLE DAYS AND ALL OIL CHANGES WILL BE WARRANTIED. 3/3-3/15 - SMELLING FUMES INSIDE CABIN AGAIN. NOTHING STRONG. JUST BECOMING THE "USUAL". 3/15 - OIL CHANGE NUMBER THREE, SAME REASON. MILEAGE 5475. IRONICALLY, I THE BEGINNING OF FEB, BEFORE KNOWING THIS ISSUE, I HAD A DR APPT. I ADVISED MY DOCTOR THAT MY ASTHMA HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT WAS EXERCISE INDUCED PREVIOUSLY, BUT NOW IT'S FLARING AT RANDOM TIMES AND MY CHEST HURTS. I GOT A NEW ASTHMA PLAN.

LIKE MANY OTHER 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V OWNERS, I DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL RESERVOIR OF MY VEHICLE AFTER NORMAL USAGE. IN LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AND LESS THAN 1,000 MILES DRIVEN, MY CR-V'S OIL RESERVOIR WAS 0.5 QUARTS OVER FULL DUE TO DILUTION FROM UNCOMBUSTED GASOLINE. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS CAUSE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY CR-V OWNERS ON MULTIPLE OTHER WEBSITES AND FORUMS. WHEN I PULLED THE OIL DIPSTICK FROM MY CR-V'S ENGINE, I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED GASOLINE AND RECOGNIZED THAT EXCESSIVE DILUTION HAD OCCURRED. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE, SAFETY, AND LONGEVITY OF MY CR-V'S ENGINE DUE TO THIS DEFICIENCY. FURTHERMORE, I AM QUESTIONING THE SAFETY OF THE 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V GIVEN THAT MULTIPLE CR-V OWNERS HAVE DOCUMENTED STALLED ENGINES AND ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM THANKFUL I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM IN MY CR-V BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR BEFORE MY ENGINE STALLED; HOWEVER, OIL DILUTION WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THESE VEHICLES UNTIL HONDA PROVIDES A LONG-TERM SOLUTION OR RECALL.
