2018 HONDA CR-V Fuel/propulsion System 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.

Midway my drive, all dashboards lights started. Took to dealership, they performed A/F Ratio test and “Vehicle failed as all Injectors are running rich.” Dealership suggested I need to replace all fuel injectors and would cost $2000. Found this is an issue with lot of 2018 CRVs but my VIN was not covered under extended warranty that was provided to others CRVs with identical issues.

After my last oil change on October 29, 2025, I began noticing a persistent gasoline smell outside the car. Concerned, I took the vehicle to Prince Honda Tifton and explained the issue in detail. They inspected it but reported no leaks and said everything looked fine. However, the odor continued. Starting December 1, 2025, I began smelling gasoline inside the car, with a particularly strong odor when starting the engine. I believe this poses a serious health risk and a potential fire hazard while driving.

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.

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.

Defective feel pump causes all lights on the dash to turn on, and also causes the car to stall/misfire. When you try to accelerate. We've had this same problem over and over again even after the recall that supposedly fixed the issue.

Hi I have been trying to take care of fuel pump related recall for a while and went to Millers Honda NYS REG R- 4040274 3 times and every time I realize there is problems with vehicles safety features and acceleration and it won’t pass inspection. Few times it felt like as if vehicle would stop in the middle of the road because i couldn’t accelerate. Recently I was charged almost 1500 dollars for a problem they should have fixed in 2023. In 2023 I attempted to make a complaint with the DMV and they temporarily fixed the problem and it would come back time to time. Please help and investigate.

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.

Failed emissions with code P0172 (System too rich) at 69,000 miles. Warning lights then appeared on the dash for almost every vehicle system, including Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Power Steering System Problem, TMPS Problem, Stability Control Problem, and others. Upon inspection, the problem was determined to be with the fuel injectors which needed to be replaced.

At around 88,400 miles my Enging light came on saying I had an "Emissions Problem." Shortly after the Emissions problem was being signaled, several other lights came on including, ABS problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Electronic Break problem and several others. I took my car to a Honda dealership's service shop to have a dianostics test run. According the the report the "check found code P0172 fuel systtem too rich." "Performed A/F test, CYL,1,2,3 Failed too rich." And they recommended replacing the injectors and I opted to have it done by them. When asked if that seemed ealrier for fuel injectors to go, the service rep said yes that they typically last the life of the egine.

High pressure fuel pump failed , could smell gas in air vents. Honda claims it’s separate from its other recall for a fuel pump. Car had been working fine, sudden issue, all lights came on , car started to stutter on acceleration. Had to be towed. No issues prior.

Fuel pomp defected 2 misfiring cylinder

There was a recall on the fuel pump which houses the fuel filter which led to faulty fuel injectors, after speaking with Honda mechanic I was informed that they are aware that there is an issue with injectors but no recall has been issued yet. The fuel injection issue would cause the car to lose acceleration and speed. Also an unknown electrical issue is happening with the car, battery has had to be replaced 3 times in the past three years, Honda mechanic is unable to locate the issue.

I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and unresolved safety and performance issues. Beginning in mid-2023, the vehicle experienced multiple system-wide failures, including: -All dashboard warning lights illuminating intermittently without cause, sometimes for days. -Sudden failure to accelerate after stopping, including stalling in intersections. -Engine running rich with repeated check engine light activations. On two occasions, the vehicle stalled in the middle of busy intersections, once with my [XXX] child in the car, posing a serious risk to my family and other drivers. The dealership replaced the A/C Control Unit (June 2023) citing it as the cause of the system alerts, but no improvement was seen. The dealership then diagnosed a faulty VSA unit, quoted $2,500, but never ordered the part or followed up. A third-party shop (Mr. Tire) diagnosed a faulty ECM, which the dealership ignored. In September 2023, dealership recommended replacing the fuel injectors, which I paid for out-of-pocket (~$1,000), which resolved the warning lights and stalling. However, ongoing problems persist: The air conditioning system is no longer cooling effectively, despite prior repair. The car also feels underpowered when accelerating or starting, with weak engine revving compared to when the car was new. While no current warning lights appear, the performance is noticeably degraded. In April 2025, the vehicle’s fuel pump was finally replaced under Honda’s service bulletin recall after being on the waiting list for the parts for nearly 1.5 years, but these other concerns remain unresolved. I am submitting this complaint because: The stalling incidents created serious safety hazards in live traffic. The vehicle has experienced repeated systemic failures that align with known issues reported by other 2018 CR-V owners. Despite multiple dealership visits and significant personal expense, the vehicle has not been restored to reliable and safe operating condition. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

The fuel injectors got totally clogged and did not run correctly after. They could not be unclogged and had to get new ones. I needed to get the fuel injectors replaced. Every warning you could get on your car came up so that everything was flashing and I could not figure out what the problem was without going to the mechanic.

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

The fuel injectors all need replaced at 63,000 miles. Honda stated that other Honda crv of the same year are getting them replaced under warranty but stated that our VIN number is not included. Even though it's the same make, model and year of other Honda crv that Honda has issues warranty for bad fuel injectors.

Subject: Fuel Pump Recall Remedy Denied – Ongoing Safety Risk I purchased a used Honda vehicle in December 2024, and shortly after, I learned it was under recall for the fuel pump. In January 2025, I took it to Lia Honda for an oil change and to perform the recall. The dealership refused to do the recall, saying the fuel pump had already been replaced with an aftermarket part by a previous owner. However, the official Honda recall repair was never performed. On June 5, 2025, the car stalled on I-91 while I was accelerating, and all the dashboard lights and alarms came on. I was able to coast to safety. I took the car to AutoZone at 7:28 PM, where a scan confirmed a faulty fuel pump. The car would not start and had to be left at AutoZone temporarily. Later that night, I was able to start it and immediately brought it to Lia Honda, leaving it overnight. On June 6, Lia Honda returned the car to me and claimed the issue was unrelated to the fuel pump, giving me a vague diagnosis involving fuel system cleanliness. Despite the AutoZone scan, the known recall, and the dangerous highway stall, Lia Honda refused to perform the recall or acknowledge the fuel pump as the problem. On June 13, the same issue occurred again while accelerating on I-91, this time with my family in the vehicle. The car stalled dangerously in traffic, again putting all of us at risk. I later contacted Honda Customer Support, and two representatives told me I was eligible for the recall repair. But when Honda USA followed up, I was informed they would not honor the recall or cover the repair, because the part had been replaced with a non-Honda pump by a previous owner. This is unacceptable. The recall remedy was never performed, and the part clearly failed again. Lia Honda’s refusal to acknowledge the fuel pump failure on June 6 prevented me from protecting my family’s safety, leading to a second highway incident that could have resulted in a crash I have all diagnosis and receipts in paper()

A fuel pump installed in my car on April 25 2025 due to the recall. The new fuel pump has rattled loose.

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.

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)

All lights on dash board on and would not cut off. We were told it was the battery that was bad. The battery in the vehicle was not a year old. We purchased the new battery and within a couple weeks it happened again with all of the lights on. This is a safety matter because this can cause problem with the heads to the motors or can just stop running. We took the car back to the dealer and then they said it maybe the fuel injectors. Now, we are paying for another maybe. This car is sending off different codes. No, one has inspected this car except the dealer. I was informed that if not inspected by Honda that it would not count. No, other symptoms before all lights on dash board just coming on. When the lights on dash board came on it was all light for all operations of the vehicle. We are not paying for fuel injectors to be replaced based on recommendation from Honda. We have several people we know that are currently having this problem with their CRV. Please look into this expensive repair. My car is a 2018 with only 40,000 miles on it. This is not a car driven on a daily basis to work or anything. This is a safety matter as well due to it may just shut off while driving.

I received a recall notice for this vehicle. When I called my nearest Honda, Leadcar Honda, in Yorkville, NY, they stated that they could not get my vehicle in for recall repairs until August of 2025. I called in March of 2025.

Fuel Pump Module improperly molded impeller. Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, I thought car manufacturers were required to fix safety recalls within 1 year. This recall came out 12/18/23. 1/25/25 I finally received a letter that parts are now available for repair. When I call the dealership to schedule a repair they tell me the parts are on back order and I am on a list.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The CAR had everyt warning light come on the dashboard- this happened multiple times to many people it's been widely reported online. Honda is covering it up and not doing anything about it..... every safety feature in teh car ceases to work! and does not operate- the car STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! honda is aware and hiding this issue. it's affective 2017-2019 CRV. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes! I took to the dealer and they're aware of it... they said there is no recalls yet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? honda is supressing this! Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO!

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. 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 contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing engine hesitation while driving. The local dealer and Round Rock Honda(512-904-6900) were contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

All warning lights in vehicle come on. Says car engine is hot but it is not. None of the power systems work. Nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Buying top tier gas fixes the problem.

Mileage: 113,662

Honda has failed to provide the necessary parts to fix a safety recall on my vehicle. This recall is affecting my ability to renew my California DMV registration, as the state requires all safety recalls to be completed before renewal. I have contacted my local Honda dealership multiple times, and they have informed me that the parts are unavailable with no estimated repair date. This situation has put me in a difficult position where I cannot legally drive my vehicle due to expired registration, even though the issue is beyond my control. Honda has not provided an alternative solution, such as a loaner car or reimbursement for transportation costs. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter and urge Honda to resolve this issue immediately.

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.

This recall 23V-858 was issued in mid-December 2023. Honda has not offered the necessary steps to correct the problem as of this email. The primary concern is in the language of the recall that states "If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." My concern is that appears that there is no monitoring of the recalls that NHTSA issues and therefore, apparently no reason for the manufacturer to comply. If this defect can lead to the consequences that NHTSA itself warn of, it is hard to understand why 14 months has elapsed with no corrective action. We would like to make our vehicle safe again as soon as possible

There’s an open recall on the fuel pump for this vehicle, and Honda refuses to address the recall. I’ve been in contact with Honda, and they have told me they refuse to the fuel pump until the vehicle breaks down. So effectively Honda has diminished the value of my vehicle and refuses to fix it.

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.

Issues started in 2018 when it was bought. Before the first oil change dipstick oil level keep going 1 inch over the max level. Exhaust smells gas. Dealership said it’s nothing. Keeps happening over and over. Dealership made a recall fix but fix didn’t help. One day while on a trip, suddenly all lights warning display come on the dash, engine lost power, had to make emergency roadside stop. After a while of sputtering, car run ok until I got into a gas station and bought chevron Techron. Engine running good enough to travel. Warning lights still going off all the time. Went to dealership, they said it was bad fuel and told me to use premium. The warning light came off. Fuel level still go 1 over dipstick max line and exhaust smell gas. Dealership it’s not a fuel dilution issue. warning light ssues linger on and off and too much oil in the dipstick and gas smelling issues never got. resolved. Last year I was told I need the fuel injectors changed but was told self pay as not covered by warranty. I argued that it should be covered as issues started on my first oil change. Dealership said they’ll order new injectors but it’s not changed up to now. Yesterday car lost power again, all dash warning light are on . I wrote Honda USA a year ago but didn’t get a reply.

Fuel injector warning light has come on for the third cylinder. There has been absolutely no impact to gas mileage or overall car efficiency and yet I'm being told I need to replace all of my fuel injectors at a cost of $1,600 in order to clear this code (P219E). This code just started appearing right after I had my fuel pump replaced under warranty recall. I have to presume there is some link and this is not just a coincidence. But that cost for a part that is not even presenting as an issue in terms of overall car performance I don't understand. But without this correction other parts of the car (i.e remote start that I literally just had repaired at a cost of $500) will not work. Certainly seems as if that is linked together. One other issue is that remote start was linked to a hood issue. Evidently an electric connection that seems to zero out at the hood was not presenting. But it does not appear as an issue on the dashboard. The remote start simply stops working. In order to get it replaced it's a $500 new part with a new electronic connection, but no one seems to be able to explain what that electric connection is for or why it does never presents if that connection is not being made. It simply does not appear as an issue on the dashboard. The only awareness is that the remote start simply stops working.

12/18/23 Recall and Honda still doesn't have the parts to fix over a year later....

I received a recall notice by mail in February 2024 that the cars fuel pump is a potential safety hazard and might have vehicle emissions issues that needs resolution. I have been trying to get the affected parts fixed by several Honda dealerships since I received the recall notice. The dealers do not have the parts, don't know when they will receive the parts and can't resolve the problem. I am told that the Honda Motor Company "trickles" out the required components need to resolve the issue and they don't know when they will get parts and can't schedule resolution due to insufficient parts. NO ONE can tell me when my safety issues will be resolved.

was sent a recall from Honda on a fuel pump impeller module that was manufactured incorrectly. They claim they are having problems getting the part at this time but when they do they will contact me to bring in vehicle for repair. This notice was sent February 2024. Have heard nothing since. Claimed the part could arrive as late as the fall of 2024.

I have been waiting a year for parts for recall 23V-858 and requested that it be resolved each time I take my vehicle in for service. Is it likely that it will be repaired while I still own this vehicle?

The dealership replaced the fuel pump & now numerous dash lights are on. When the fuel pump gets replaced does the recall cover the fuel filter?

Recall was issued a year ago on 12/18/23. Honda said they would contact me when the part was available. Have not heard from Honda and when I called they said the part was not available. My car might stop working on the highway endangering my life and the safety of others.

Honda issued a safety recall in February 2024 for a possible inoperable fuel pump that may cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. It is now December 2024 and replacement parts are still not available.

I first received notice of this recall about a year ago. I have been to the dealer 3 times to request the repair but have been told there are not enough parts to make the repair. On my last visit (7/2/2024) the dealership took my copy of the recall notice and told me they would call me when they had parts to make the repair. They also told me it would probably be 2 or 3 months before the part was available. It is now December 7, 2024 and still no contact from the dealership and no parts from Honda. Please help.

American Honda sent me a letter notifying of recall for fuel pump issue in February of 2024 and a followup letter in May 2024. I called you on September 27, 2024 and was told to call American Honda. I called them that day and was told parts would probably be available in late October or early November. I called them again today and they transferred my call to a local Honda dealership (Penske on 96th St in Indianapolis). The dealer indicated they had trouble getting parts from Honda and to call back in a month. This issue has been know for nearly a year and Honda has done nothing.

There is a Fuel pump recall in my 2018 Honda CRV , i call yesterday to dealer where i bought car from, i talk to the person in part department and he told me they have new fuel pump to replace he transfer me to service department to set up appointment and i did, when i went there today they told me we have part but not the tool to replace your fuel pump, which i believe is total [XXX] and gross discrimination by dealer, i mean million of dollar dealership don't have part to replace recall item. i urge NHTSA to take strong action against Honda Automobile and the dealer, there may be million other like me.

Honda CRV 2018.all warning lights on dashboard .

On my 2018 Honda CR-V EX noticed car almost stalling when stepping on accelerator. Took vehicle to dealership and was told it was the Fuel Injectors failing. The dealership said it is the EXACT SAME Fuel Injectors that are on the 2018 Honda Accord that are part of a Recall due to safety concerns BUT that Honda has NOT issued a Recall for the CR-V, even though it has the EXACT SAME Fuel Injectors as the Accord. They were no warning lamps or messages. The cost to repair this issue was $1,273.57 to Repair the Fuel Injectors, which I paid directly to the dealership.

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

During December 2023 , news agencies, Honda, & the NHTSB reported CRV fuel pump module may have an improperly molded impeller. Should this part malfunction, the vehicle obviously shuts down immediately losing power steering, braking, and other vital functions. I was initially told by the local Honda dealer that replacement parts were anticipated in August 2023. I received notice from Honda in May 2024 stating limited replacement parts were available and would be utilized for vehicles experiencing malfunction. In July I again contacted the Honda dealership inquiring as to when remaining vehicles could expect repair & was told they had been informed October 2024. I called Honda Corporate customer service this morning asking the same question & was given the same answer I rec'd back in July. It's now approaching 12 months since the recall was issued and multitudes of Honda owners are still forced to drive unsafe vehicles exposing themselves, family members, & other motorists to fatal accidents. Honda has not corrected this issue in a timely manner yet continues to manufacture & sell multitudes of new vehicles every day. Please use the agency's authority, even if Honda is required to halt production of new vehicles, & require Honda correct the issue immediately. If this issue isn't resolved soon, I plan to contact a U.S. Senator to review the issue. PS: we purchased a 2022 Honda CRV and have recently received a recall relative to potential fuel pump cracking & ensuing fire.

Every warning light came on at the same time. Everything except the cruise control and lane assist works, eventhough the warning lights are on. There is nothing wrong when driving, the car accelerates fine, brakes work fine. Only the cruise control and lane assist are affected by all the warning lights. Took car to the Honda dealership and was told 2 of my fuel injectors are completely clogged, but I have to replace all 4 of them. Why would fuel injector issue cause EVERY warning light to come on. My car gets great gas mileage (and has since I bought it brand new). Have read numerous forums with this same issue from 2017 Honda CRV to 2023 CRV's. Some have had their fuel injectors replaced and the problem comes back in a few weeks. If the fuel injectors aren't the issue, what exactly is making this happen and how do we know it won't cause the brakes and every other system to fail while driving down the street?

There are actually two issues that are going on with this car. First off, on three separate occasions, while driving at 70 mph on the freeway in traffic, my car has braked for me and the collision warning went off. However, there was nobody in front of me. The person behind me almost rear ended my vehicle on the last occasion this has happened. Now, my car is undrivable. Three times, ALL my sensor lights went off. The first time, we changed the battery, thinking the battery was dying. The second time, we took it to Affordable Autobody in Murrieta, CA. They ran a diagnostic and stated that we did not reset the computer when the battery was changed. The third time ALL the sensor lights went on, we took it to DCH Temecula, CA. They ran a diagnostic and said that it was the fuel injectors. Our mechanic stated that the fuel injectors are going bad due to a bad fuel pump. My car has been sitting at the dealership for more than a week, undrivable. We contacted claims department, but no action has been taken. DCH Temecula states they have no available fuel pumps and will not fix the injectors unless the claims department orders it. I have left without a loaner car, stranded. Nobody seems to be taking this seriously and there is no time frame as to when this situation will be fixed. It is becoming a huge inconvenience not having a way to get to work. Please help!

Ref: NHTSA Recall # 23V-858 Recall of fuel pump received February 2024 and as of today (October 2024) replacement part(s) not available nor can the Honda dealer (Honda on Grand, Elmhurst, IL) advise or even give an estimate of when the parts will be available. I truly feel that Honda/mfg has been provided a "reasonable" amount of time to deal with and correct the situation. Vehicle has had NO symptoms to date but tick tick tick - if/when symptoms do occur it may likely place occupants of the vehicle in a perilous situation.

I am writing to report noncompliance with the fuel pump recall for 2018 Honda CRVs. I was unable to find a place to report such noncompliance, so I ask that you refer this complaint ot the appropriate enforcement unit of the NHTSA. Since the recall was announced last spring, I have on three occasions asked my Honda dealer/service provider (Honda of Princeton) when my fuel pump will be replaced. Each time they have said that no fuel pumps are available and have added that there is not really a problem and that if my fuel pump malfunctions, they will replace it immediately --- which of course goes against the spirit of the recall, which is to avoid preventable accidents due to fuel-pump malfunctioning. They have been giving me later and later dates for a replacement fuel pump, and it appears that compliance with the NHTSA recall is in an ever receding future.

I talked to other people who has the same issue with me, bad head gasket , fuel injector an vsa module going bad, I'm having all 3 issues at the same time

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.

I received a safety recall in February 2024 about a faulty fuel pump. Then I got another notice saying the parts would be here this fall as do they are not. The safety consequences are a stall while driving increasing the risk of a crash or injury. I am increasingly worried about driving my car. I don’t understand why it is taking so long to resolve this issue. Honda is making fuel pumps for their new cars and this safety recall is not a priority for them . I

When you turn on the car, all warning lights come on, ALL error messages that can be displayed are displayed, and safety features become disabled. The systems resets after you turn the car on & off at least 5 times but the issue always reappears. Error codes P0172 & P219C have been detected during the issue. The dealer replaced the fuel injectors to remedy the issue.

I was notified by Honda that the fuel pump on my 2018 Honda CR-V would be replaced when replacement pumps became available. That was in May of 2024. As of this writing, I have not heard from my local dealer (Honda World, Louisville, KY) or Honda corporate about the availability of a replacement.

All system failure lights are on , emission failure, brake system, brake, hold system,power steering, vehicle stability, hill start assist, adaptive cruise, collision mitigation, road dept, electric parking. These lights stay on for a few days then turn off. Was able to get to dealership to have codes read. Determined to be fuel injectors need replaced at cost of $1800.

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 .

I have received a recall on my car last year, and I called multiple dealership to see if they have any parts available, then said they don’t have any parts. So I have to wait for the Honda letter to be notified that if the parts are available. But now I am experiencing engine hesitation recently and i am very worried about it becomes a safety issue, so I called Honda of Seattle and Lynwood Honda again and told them this problem, but they still keep saying that they don’t have the parts and they can’t do anything for me.

While driving on the highway (freeway) vehicle stall , went to a suddenly almost complete stop, risking to be rear ended by the car behind us.

American Honda states they do not have parts to address my 2018 Honda CRV LX fuel pump problem. Our local Honda dealer Charlie's Honda Augusta, Maine does not have parts available to them, so they say. However, my mechanic was told by a number of Honda parts dealers that they do have the parts but are not allowed to sell them (illegal) to anyone but a Honda dealer. Also, Charlie's Honda and Lee Honda Auburn, Maine say they must charge me for $150 for an engine diagnostic before they will look at my vehicle. So, I had my mechanic install a Delphi 2270N fuel pump assembly for $700. This recall has been open since December 2023, winter is coming and I want a safe vehicle to drive. I feel that Honda has engaged in deceptive practices and has become another Boeing. I would like to recoup any monies that I can from Honda for this repair since American Honda and Charlie's Honda have proven to be less than cooperative. Also, American Honda will not remove the recall against my vehicle without paying for a $150 engine diagnostic fee at Charlie's Honda after my car has been fixed and is running well. I think NHTSA needs to allow non-dealer mechanics to do repair work on recalls, charged back to the recalled vehicle manufacturer and the auto companies need to make sure the non-dealer mechanics have access to repair parts. I have contacted American Honda and Honda Motor Co. - Japan.

All of the warning lights and maintenance lights turn on at all times during driving. I have taken it to the dealer multiple times and after changing the fuel injectors, the light supposedly seemed to stay off. The day after I got it back from the dealer, all the lights started flashing again, the car stalled and lost power in the middle of the road. Pressing on the gas would not do anything. The car was essentially in neutral. I was able to turn it off and then on again and took it back to the dealer once the recall came for the fuel pump, to have the part changed. I was told they couldn’t change it, even though it was recalled, because they found that it didn’t need to be changed.

The component that seems to be failing is the fuel pump impeller per recall notice symptoms description. Our vehicle is demonstrating the following symptoms: 1. loss of drive power (when going down hill), 2. Engine hesitation while driving, 3. Illuminated check engine light (all warning lights go on and cycle through). We had the vehicle to the dealership. Even before inspection we were told that these symptoms were NOT related to the recall notice and were told we would have to pay a diagnostic fee of $189 As per above, the check engine light does go on but so do all the other warning lights (?!). According to our invoice we paid $189.00 to have the warning lights fixed (but 5 days later they were all on once again).

Charlie's Honda (Augusta, Maine) and Lee Honda (Auburn, Maine) have told me that they require an upfront diagnostic fee of $150 in order to put my car in line for a new fuel pump motor, which they don't have. Why should I pay a penny for a recall problem that Honda created using substandard materials in my 2018 Honda CRV LX. I had the fuel pump replaced by my mechanic Richard Beaulieu of Beaulieu's Upright Auto Repair, Augusta, Maine 04330. He tried to purchase the fuel pump motor from Honda parts distributors, which he was told they have in stock but can't sell them to anyone except a Honda dealership. So, we had to settle for an after market Delphi p/n 2270N fuel pump assembly $709.99. All I want is for Honda to cover the new fuel pump cost, for a problem they created. Honda USA called me today that unless I visit a Honda dealership and pay their diagnostic fee that they will not clear the recall flag on my vehicle. Talk about highway robbery! I have an open NHTSA complaint number #11609831. I trust my mechanic for diagnostics more then Honda's. Why issue these safety recalls if it's only a money grab for the dealerships? Winter is approaching and I don't want to be left stranded side of the road with Honda's defective fuel pump. My car is running fine, actually better as it idles more smoothly and has better acceleration.

Since my Honda dealership (Charlie's Motor Mall) has no recall parts and doesn't know when they will get them, I had our mechanic order the part from Honda to replace the recalled part. No Honda dealership or parts distributor are allowed to sell this part. So, I have asked our mechanic to install an after-market fuel pump instead. Honda sounds like they are breaking the law. How can they order another business that has the parts in stock not to sell them? Winter is approaching and all I want it is a safe vehicle to drive. Our local Honda dealerships (Charlie's Motor Mall and Lee Honda) state there is nothing they can do without doing a $150 diagnostic on my engine. Shouldn't this work be covered by the recall? This sounds very dangerous to have an identified vehicle problem and not having it fixed ASAP. So, I am having the new after market fuel pump installed and will be forwarding the bill to Honda for reimbursement. Honda needs a trip to the woodshed!

Fuel injections failed on 65,000 mile 2018 Honda CRV. They had been cleaned recently and followed all Honda recommended maintenance. This failure has been repeatedly reported as it's impact 2015-2018 Honda CRV owners. This should be covered and recalled.

Vehicle started to run erratically as I was merging onto highway and all the dashboard lights were illuminated. Vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph. Pulled over and turned car off and back on. Was able to accelerate and go a few more miles before car decelerated from 65 to 25. Got off highway and drove vehicle back home. It did it one more time, while on a back road. 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.

1. Fuel pump recall, received December 2023 - not done as of 8-20-24 2. If the engine dies we could have an accident or be stranded as Maine is a rural state. 3. No, replacement fuel pumps are available to the dealer yet. 4. See number 3 5. No warning lights as yet. The car is running fine but for how long? I have been waiting to get my fuel pump replaced by Honda since February 2024. I think six months of waiting is enough. I have been dealing with Charlie’s Honda of Augusta, Maine (448 Western Ave, Augusta, ME 04330) where I bought my Honda. The service department keeps telling me that the parts have not been released for the recall. I got the same answer from Lee Honda of Auburn, Maine (809 Center St, Auburn, ME 04210) Why? I can purchase a retail replacement fuel pump. In addition, the service department wants to charge me for a full engine diagnostic which costs $150 to install the fuel pump. I thought recall costs and labor were charged back to the manufacturer. I am driving an unsafe vehicle and it is unsettling that the engine may quit at any time. We travel quite a bit on the Maine Turnpike and back roads of Maine. I would hate to have the engine quit on me during the winter leaving me stranded or worse yet have the engine quit in heavy traffic causing an accident. Therefore, I intend to get the fuel pump replaced by my regular mechanic at my expense so I can drive without worrying about the defective OEM Honda fuel pump giving out leaving me stranded. I do feel that Honda should reimburse the repair as I have waited long enough for them to do the right thing. Please do what you can to help.

This car has not been in an accident and has been routinely maintained in accordance with Honda's recommended maintenance schedule. I went to turn on the car one day - nothing abnormal had happened - and I noticed that multiple (5+) warning lamps illuminated upon starting the car, including for the AWD system, power steering system, stability assist system, parking brake system, adaptive cruise control system, and others. This was on or around 1 June 2024; the car had approximately 25,000 miles on it at this time. The car appeared to drive normally. I took this to a dealership, which stated that their diagnostic computer had identified the fuel injectors on cylinders 2 and 3 as malfunctioning and running rich. I incurred approximately $2400 in replacement and repair costs at the dealership. My safety was not put at risk to my knowledge. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle and components were inspected by the dealership when diagnosing the problem; there were no manufacturer, police, or insurance representative inspections. The warning lamps were illuminated as above on approximately 1 June 2024.

The fuel injectors caused engine ecm to set codes for missfire and cylinder inbalance. as a result of the car disabled all adas systems such as lane keep lane departure ,forward colision alerts, parking brake,cruise control. 11 different warning messages scrolled across dash.Car was diagnosed at independant import specialist garage as needing fuel injectors. Car has 82,000 miles. Garage told me this was common on hondas and honda had extended warranty on the fuel injectors on v6 cars ,but not on 1.5 4cyl cars. I purchased this car new with expectations of increased safety, however when a part failure shuts these systems down it defeats that purpose. I have driven mutiple cars to 300,000+ miles and never had to replace fuel injectors. just google crv fuel injector problems and you will see i am not the only case of this

I have received a recall notice related to the fuel pump (NHTSA #23V-858) and have been advised by Honda again today that the part required is still on back order until 2025. Is this vehicle safe to drive? If not, what remedy is available to me? It has been more than 60 days since I first inquired about the part.

Hi I had issue with the car before my car had the recall.And I had fixed issue.I would like get reimburse from automaker.I have documents and receipts describing what has been fixed and what was wrong.They told my wife saying we don't have part and inform us when they have the part available and later we got mail says our car is not equipped with that part which I fixed (fuel injector) already.I don't see my VIN number under recall anymore.I need assistance to get my money back.Thank you.

With this report I am trying to PREVENT an incident from happening. I received the Honda recall notice dated May 2024 for my 2018 CR-V regarding an improperly molded impeller within the fuel pump module. Notice stated "An inoperable fuel pump could prevent an engine from starting, cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury". I contacted my dealer and was told there literally were no replacement parts anywhere in the United States and none would be available until sometime in the fall. However, if the vehicle should become inoperable (possibly while actually driving it) an order for the part could be requested. Is there any way Honda can be compelled to expedite this process? This is our only vehicle and we frequently need to drive on the very crowded interstate near the Phoenix area. We are hesitant to drive a vehicle we've been told by the dealer has an "increasing risk of a crash or injury".

I was unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. The dealers told me they didn’t have the parts necessary for my impeller until the end of this summer. However, the paper I received about my safety recall states that for the first appointment, which I made, will have my situation fixed within two months. The end of the summer is not two months. Moreover, when I made my first appointment on March 15, 2024, they initially cancelled it before I made another appointment to which they told me the parts would only be available at the end of the summer. If this isn’t fixed soon by the end of the summer, this highly raises my concern about the safety of driving this vehicle for both me and my family.

Tried calling the advertised number on your website: 1 888 327 4236 for online complaints but its rings and stops. I have been receiving letters from Honda for a couple of months for a safety recall pertaining o fuel pump. In this period, I took my vehicle ([XXX], 2024) for major servicing and my vehicle was not serviced for recall quoting "Unavailability of spare parts". This month ([XXX], 2024) specifically scheduled my vehicle for safety recall servicing. Got a call from the dealer again stating "Unavailability of spare parts" and that they will call me. I have received a recall notice from Honda again yesterday. In effect, they are complying with NHTSA recall, however not servicing vehicles on the ground for no fault of the consumer. Given the seriousness of the problem, I fear my vehicle might just stall one day. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This recall has not been completed in a timely manner

Vehicle suddenly starts showing all warnings lights on dashboard, including: - Adaptive Cruise control​ - Collision Mitigation​ - Road Departure Mitigation​ - Vehicle Stability Assist​ - Hill Start Assist​ - Electric Parking Brake​ - Tire Pressure Monitoring and many more.

I would like to trade my current vehicle for a newer model, however due to an "active recall" that will not be available for repair until fall 2024, I cannot get market value for my vehicle.

Good afternoon, my Crv 2018 is having the indicated problems that indicate that the fuel pump has defects, I contacted the dealer and they made an appointment for January and when I showed up they told me that they did not have the fuel pump that they would order it and It took two weeks, they have gone 4 times and they have not resolved me. I have called more than 6 times and the response is always different saying that it is American Honda's fault because it has not sent the parts. In the recall it specifies that it is a risk of have an accident if the problem is not dealt with in time but at Honda 65 in Carolina P.R they do not take it seriously.

I was driving on the highway at a speed of 65-70 MPH. The car's adaptive cruise control was set and keeping pace. Suddenly, every light on the dash turned on with the adaptive cruise control and lane assist turning off. Luckily my hands were on the wheel and the car didn't leave the lane. Eventually, this was diagnosed and attributed to faulty fuel injectors. This seems to be a common problem with the 2017 model Honda CRVs and luckily for me, ended safely. But if this was my wife or kid driving, it could have ended poorly. I still ask why is the fuel injector issue, which makes the car engine run more rich, connected to the cruise control / lane assist software that can result in a safety problem.

Unable to receive fixed fuel pump despite recall since December. No dealership able to provide estimate on remedy.

Had cruise control engaged at 80 mph. Passing semi truck going uphill when car lost power to engine. No gas to engine when pressing gas. Was able to steer car and brake off interstate road. Turned off car. Turned on again and no warning lights on vehicle indicating issue.

Vehicle is flashing all kinds of repair needed signals. It is stalling and shutting off. It's not safe for me to drive. I'm elderly (disabled) and need to drive to get medicine and doctors appointments. The fuel pump is on recall and I can not wait until the fall to get the pump replaced. No Honda dealers have the pumps in stick yet. I need help ASAP. Thank you

Dealer states recall repair cannot be completed due to lack of parts.

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.

Fuel pump module incorrect moulding. To date, no incident to report, however I phoned Mohawk Honda this afternoon who said that the owners who have been notified have relayed to Mohawk Honda that HONDA informed owners that parts will not be made available until this fall. I would like to ask if I can have the work done now and receive reimbursement. I would prefer to get this recall resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.

I am currently shopping for a Honda CRV when I learned that the vehicle has an active recall that has yet to be addressed. When looking into it further and contacting the local Honda dealership, they notified me that they would be unable to handle my request for service (should I decide to purchase the vehicle) until sometime in the fall. It is currently March. Half a year is a long time to wait for repair to a vital system of the car I read so many positive things about. I called other Honda dealers in my area and received the same response for the issue. Am I crazy for thinking that half a year is a long time to wait for a fix to a problem that could immobilize my potential car every time I turn the ignition or even while I’m driving?

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.

Please reference NHTSA recall # 23V-858. In the Remedy section of the NHTSA recall description it states, 'The dealer will replace the fuel pump module with an improved part.' The actual recall notice states 'The replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle are not currently available but are expected to be available in the fall of 2024'! Honda lists this as an IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL and failure of the pump may result in a crash or injury. I'll have to drive my CR-V for the next, at least, 6 months facing this possibility. This is unacceptable and I'm hoping you can help resolve this. Regards, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car does lag when I'm driving on the highway. I need a letter emailed or sent by mail showing that the part is being ordered for my car so I can forward with my loan. The company will not go forward with my loan. I need the part fixed ASAP or a letter showing that the part is getting delivered.

The car smelled of gas. The mechanic said the computer indicated that the fuel mixture was too rich. Upon inspection he found my oil even smelled of gas. He felt the car was unsafe to drive and at high risk of fire. The fuel injectors do not function properly. IDK how many complaints you have received but once I experienced it I found many reports of similar nature online so before something really bad happens hope it can be reviewed.

Informed at 5 dealerships that repair parts not available now and until until FALL 2024...car has 10,000miles and fearful of driving it

Nothing happened - fortunately. I want to know why there's no remedy for this recall? Is Honda just waiting on a problem? I want my Mom to be safe and have no issues. Can you/Honda please work toward a speedy solution and keep us updated? This is my Mom's vehicle and she lives in Indiana. I'm her son and I live in South Carolina.

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,.

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.

Multiple lights on dash and car would not go. My car could not be driven because of the risk of cutting off and someone hitting me. I took my car to the dealership and had the same problem as my other Honda back in 2022.

Se me ha apagado varias veces al arrancar cuando me voy al trabajo . Y tengo que volverlo a encender . Siento el motor débil. El cuerpo electrónico del acelerador no anda bien. Cuando quiero acelerar rápido se me queda en stand by y hasta los 3 segundos responde el motor. Cuando estoy en un stop aplicando el freno se escucha el motor como que se quiere apagar y empieza a temblar la camioneta. A veces el motor está acelerado a 1000 rpm con el freno aplicado y a los 3 o 5 segundos ya baja a 0 rpm. En Braman Honda Miami me dicen que no tienen las piezas aún y me puedo accidentar si se me apaga el motor en carretera me pueden chocar por detrás y provocar un gran accidente. Necesito URGENTE que la reparen .

Stalled twice within 2 miles on the road on January 5th 2024.

Manufacturer Recall NumberKGC NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858 I have been trying desperately to get my car serviced to address the safety recall, and many car dealerships are hanging up on me when I try to schedule appointments. My car has been stalling while driving as a result of this recall issue. Please help as I now fear for my safety driving my vehicle since Honda locations are not helping me resolve this issue.

I have not experienced a problem with my vehicle yet, but your website says, “If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA”. I am just writing to let you know that I called the dealer, and they told me they do not have a remedy for the problem yet. I am now concerned that I could have a problem but have no way to resolve the issue. I have to travel shortly after Christmas and will just have to pray that nothing happens.

ALL malfunction indicator lights would go on at the same time intermittently. This caused safety systems to stop working and was a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE for my family. Diagnostics at my local Honda dealer diagnosed code P0303 Cylinder Misfire/Leaking Injectors. This has been a common problem amongst various 2016-2019 Honda vehicles, and some of them have had extended warrranty coverage by Honda, however, not my 2018 CRV. The fuel injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,621.18. This was a known problem at Honda, and my vehicle should have been covered with an extended warranty. Fuel injectors should not have to be replaced so early in the life cycle ( and relatively low mileage ) of a vehicle driven with care.

The fault code P0172: System too Rich (Bank 1) has resulted in loss of all Advanced Safety features, as well as the electric parking brake becoming inoperable.

All warning dash lights intermittently appear and then turn off sometimes within hours, and sometimes days later. This issue has been occurring for the past two years. The first diagnosis was the battery which was replaced a year and a half ago. This issue represented again a few months after the battery was replaced and has started to happen more frequently over the past few months. I took my vehicle in to be inspected, and was told a misfire code was showing up for the fuel injectors. My vehicle is only 5 years old and this issue started when it was only 3 years old. Fuel injectors should last longer than 5 years and certainly longer than 3 years. I am aware of other CRV’s receiving an extended warranty on fuel injectors, and I have read of several other customers having the same issue with fuel injectors being the diagnosis. It seems that this issue should be considered a recall, as the safety features do not operate when these warning lights pop up.

I have owned the car for 58 months and now there is "Emissions System Error" which is related to canister purge valve malfunction (P0441). This consumes more fuel and failing emissions standards.

Fuel injectors. This causes electronic safety system to go haywire telling me they have malfuctioned. Evidently this is caused by the fuel injectors going bad. This puts the safety of me and my family at risk. All these failures can cause an accident. Research shows Honda Knows this and has discontinued the fuel injectors because they are faulty leaving owners without any resolution. They have no timeframe to resolve this. Could be months with owners not knowing how to proceed. therefore should not Honda be forced to buy back the curve just like Volkswagen did a few years back. Tired of car manufacturers putting the publics safety at fault because they put profits ahead of safety. I did my due diligence in researching this. Dealership in no help as their hands are tied because of Honda corporations failure.

Fuel injector failure at 68,000

2018 Honda CR-V EX Shortly after purchasing my Honda CR-V in Feb 2018, I noticed a strong smell of gas when I changed the oil. I found a recall bulletin regarding fuel mixing with oil and worked with Honda to have a software update (Case #*******) in late 2018. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally and has for a few years. Approximately 12 months ago every light on the instrumentation panel came on (Vehicle Stability, Adaptive Cruise Control, Tire Pressure monitoring, Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, etc) I used a code reader and found that the only hard code was P0172 “Fuel System Too Rich”. I reset the code and it came back the following day. I reset the code again and it came back 2 months later. Since then, the exact same code has shown up at least 6 times. It always occurs while the engine is running and I am idling, not when driving. Sometimes the dash warning lights clear automatically after a few days and sometimes I have to manually reset the P0172 code with a OBD tool. I have replaced the battery to ensure it wasn’t a low voltage issue, but it continues. While the code is set and all of the warning lights are present on the dash, none of the vehicle safety features work. Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, Adaptive Cruise Control. I do have an appointment scheduled with my local Honda Service Center for Oct. 2. Reading through TSBs and Customer complaints, I find hundreds of examples of this exact issue. I am concerned I will be billed $2K for a known issue with the fuel system in this vehicle. I recently purchased a 2023 Ridgeline and plan to give the CR-V to my 16 yr old son and I am also concerned about the reliability and safety systems on this vehicle. Please advise. Regards,

On 8/28/23, I turned my car on and all the warning lights were flashing on the dashboard. Two days later, just before bringing the car in for diagnostics, they stopped flashing. Then today, started again. This happened before in April, of this year, but the lights stopped flashing until now. In May, my car slammed on the brakes while I was driving down a side road. The diagnostics showed nothing. Today, 9/1/23, the diagnostic report states the following need immediate attention:Fuel Injector Replacement: Need fuel iniector; *Brake Flush; Valve Cover Gasket Replacement; *Spark Plug Replacement 4 Cylinder My car is no longer under warranty

The car would hesitate and slow down upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Could easily have caused the drivers behind me to hit me if they weren't paying attention.

Took CRV into Honda dealership for oil change and tire rotation. They also completed a multipoint inspection. Within 2 hours of leaving dealership, car stalled on the highway and showed errors all over the dashboard. Was able to get crv to start back up, but errors continued and car would jerk when trying to accelerate over 33mph. Called Honda dealership who said battery must have failed. Had battery tested, it was good. Jiffy lube was the closest place to have the car checked. Technician found cap wasn’t replaced correctly after oil change, causing the oil that had just been put in to leak out, and recommended returning to Honda. Returned to Honda dealership, who after 2 days diagnosed a fuel tank failure. Prior to oil change, vehicle did not have any issues with starting/stalling or error codes. 2018 crv with less than 70,000 miles. Was purchased completely new.

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.

My 2018 CRV began idling rough so I scheduled an appointment. When I arrived, indicated that it sounded like I needed fuel injectors which they see alot with the CRV. After diagnostics on 7/17/2023, I was given a repair estimate of $2067, then told the parts were backordered until at least 8/13/2023. I have never had to replace fuel injectors on any other car I've owned. This issue has been recalled on other models and apparently the dealerships are well aware of the issue - replacing so many of these that Honda cant keep them in stock. A $2067 repair estimate for a faulty part is unreasonable at 80,000 miles. Even more concerning is that every warning light and chime in my car is going off and the advanced safety features are disabled. I cant drive with a cell phone in my hand due to distraction but apparently it is okay to drive around with warnings, chimes and disabled safety features.

Alternating multiple System Problem messages lit up the Dashboard & a bell sounded. Took car to Honda dealer, diagnosis was faulty fuel injection system which needed to be replaced ( cost estimate $1500). Was told Parts are on back order, won’t be in for 4-6 weeks. Dealer advised not to drive vehicle. Dealer would not offer a loaner.

For second time in 9 days, car taken to Krenzen Honda dealer, Duluth, MN as car goes into “limp mode” and all warning lights keep cycling through and beeping. When in limp mode, very unsafe for car to suddenly drop to 10 miles per hour - on the freeway, this would be life threatening! Krenzen told us about 2 weeks ago it now needs fuel injectors. We’re told by dealer over 8000 Hondas from 2017-19 in need of fuel injectors. They said could be 4-6 weeks! We live in Tucson, AZ and need to drive home in less than 3 weeks. This is ridiculous to not only need fuel injectors for a 5 year old car, but to wait for such a long time for these parts! IS THIS GOING TO BE A RECALL SOON??

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

Vehicle was stuttering when accelerating, usually when cold. This is unsafe since someone behind me could have run into the rear of my car if they weren't paying attention. I took into dealership and they found errors and had to replace the fuel injectors. Vehicle only had 78556 miles and was no longer covered by warranty.

Fuel pump stopped working. While driving, I pressed down the gas and car stopped working.

My car's fuel pump system quit working without warning or noticed. My car stalled in an intersection and caused serious concern for my safety. Honda has a safety recall for other Honda CRV 2018 vehicles but not my vin number. My car only has 54,000 miles on it and it is very odd that this recall is the same problem I'm having. "Fuel pump inoperability could prevent an engine from starting or stall an engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash"

I completed an oil change on Saturday May 13, 2023 with Morehead Honda, Newburgh NY. On May 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda CRV all the lights for the ADAS illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, VSA problems, steering problems, TPMS problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to Morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the NHSTA and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda CRVs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.

All warning lights for ALL systems going off at once while car was being driven and rotating across dash board indicating complete system failure . Car drove well but dealer says fuel injectors are faulty at 62000 miles and unsafe to drive. Car dropped off at dealer 4/23/23- and now 5/11/23. The dealer says no parts available as this is a multi model malfunction across all HONDA cars from multiple years. There is NO eta on when an part may be available and no offer of loaner car.

As I was driving on the interstate, heading to get gas because I had 25 miles left (according to my car's system), my car stalled from going about 70 mph. At the exact same time, I got warnings for what seemed like every system of the car. Luckily, I was able to get on the left shoulder before I stopped moving, but if traffic was worse or if I wasn't as close to one of the shoulders, I would've been stranded in a lane (or two) of the interstate. After I took my car to the dealership, they determined I had a bad fuel pump and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out that I didn't have 25 miles left; I had 0. I emailed Honda Customer Service, mentioning a prior recall they had for fuel pumps, but it seems that didn't include mine.

All the warning lights started displaying on the dashboard over the course of six months. One day they would all start coming up one at time, then when I would turn off the vehicle for an extended amount of time, they were no longer there. Finally at my oil change appointment I brought up the issue and I was told it was a fuel injector issue. Apparently they’ve had many CR-V owners come in with the same problems…over $1000 to repair!

18 Honda CRV, 40k miles now. All of my warning lights just came on at once last week. I took my car to the dealer, they charged $147 for inspection and said I needed new fuel injectors with $2000 estimate.

I am so disppointed and frustrated. Exactly ONE year ago my 2018 CRV had power issues. Loss power, excessive and unsafe deceleration when driving on State Highway 20. Every warning light and driver assist notification light up on the dash. My car was jerking and I had to pull to the side of the road. Thankfully not to far from home and able to drive to the house but could not get over 20MPH. Took to the dealer, fuel pump replaced at MY COST. Here we are ONE yeat later and all dash board lights on again in similar fashion. Car is currently at dealer ship with noted need for fuel injectors. I find it peculiar and upsetting as having done research 2022 and now again 2023: there have been issues with fuel pump and fuel injectors reported on NHTSA, forums, to honda and articles about the recurrent issues with the 2018 CRV and Honda does not want to be responsible. There were some recalls of the 2018 CRV but my VIN# did not identify as one. The 2018 CRV has recurrent issues in this department. My car was part of the S/B 18-114 campaign to "fix" and issue reguarding the oil/fuel mixture and here my car is having issues that I feel are a result.

Fuel injectors, sending too much fuel into spark plugs. Accelerated and nothing happened. Except jumping and bucking motions. Drifted to side of road. every single light on the dashboard came on, and the vehicle was not drivable. Towed to Honda where this was diagnosed. $2,200 plus repair bill to replace fuel injectors and spark plugs. 2018 crv 1.5 engine, 138,000 miles.

We had just gotten off the freeway and were sitting at a stoplight. When the light turned green, all of a sudden several of the yellow warning lights on the dashboard started to flash: emergency braking, electronic parking break, tire pressure, lane-keep assist, and others. The car became sluggish and moved forward haltingly and slowly. It feels like the breaks or the parking break are cycling on and off. We pulled over as soon as we could. Turning the car off didn't clear the warning lights. We called AAA and they came and checked the battery -- which was at 100% and working fine. The parking break works fine; we can hear it turn on and off using the lever. We had it towed to a Honda dealer nearby and are having it evaluated. It is undriveable in this state, and we are concerned that even if the dealer gets the warning lights to shut off, it could happen again at any time. There are reports all over the NHTSA website that this is a common issue -- please investigate!

The High Pressure Fuel Pump (16790-5PC-H02) failed on January 1, 2023 at approximately 11:10am in Seattle, WA. We were taking the interchange from WB SR 520 to SB I-5, which includes a short uphill section, when the engine lost power and completely stalled at the top of the ramp. No warning lamps or other symptoms appeared prior to failure. We were able to push the car and roll it through a gap in the concrete barrier into a vacant road construction site. Had the stall happened one minute later, my wife, our daughters aged 2 and 4, and I would have been stranded in heavy traffic in the number 1 lane of I-5 in an area with no safe shoulder. I cannot imagine how we would have avoided a serious collision in that case. We were not able to restart the car at that time and all repair shops appeared to be closed for New Year's Day, so we had the vehicle towed to our home. The vehicle started without apparent issue several days later, and we brought it to Sa-Go Auto Repair in Bellevue. The mechanic at Sa-Go was not able to immediately reproduce and advised us of fuel pump issues with the 2018 Honda CR-V. He directed us to have a dealer evaluate for recall repair. Honda of Bellevue was not able to reproduce the issue and suggested the stall may have been due to a dirty air filter, which they did not replace before returning the car to us. We returned to Sa-Go Auto Repair where the mechanic conducted an extended test drive with scan tool in sync and confirmed the High Pressure Fuel Pump fell off when the vehicle had been running for more than one hour. High Pressure Fuel Pump and Low Pressure Fuel Module Assembly were replaced by Sa-Go on 1/18/2023 and proper function confirmed on test drive. Old parts, including pumps and air filter, were retained by us and are available for inspection. No parts have been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Invoices and photos attached. Thank you for your consideration.

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!

Car starting throwing all error codes at once. No issues driving, took to mechanic, could not find any issues. Did this 3 times, was advised to see Honda dealer for possible computer system update. Honda said it needs all fuel injectors and fuel joint pipe replaced, due to clogged injectors. No indication of this problem, no fuel loss or engine issues. This is a 2018 with 60,000 miles. Have looked this issue up, found that it is a known issue with Honda. They will not warranty the fix, wanting to charge $1723.08 to correct.

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.

My vehicle computer started indicating that there was a critical brake failure and other related safety issues, this started after a brake repair at Middletown Honda. I returned to the dealer and they indicated that it’s the fuel injectors misfiring and need replacement. They also indicated that the spark plugs need replacement. I gave approval to replace the spark plugs and the vehicle ran well until I added fuel to the vehicle. then the problem returned. There’s currently a recall on Honda models 2014-2016 for the fuel injectors and I want this vehicle year to be included. Thank you

All warning lights are on and Honda dealer said I need to replace the fuel injectors. My car is a 2018 model with just 60k miles. I searched online and there are many consumers reporting the same issue. Please help us resolve this problem. Thank you.

Vehicle has a history of stumbling at low speed, especially once it stops. This stumble has stalled four times now. This happens from a cold start at random times. First noticed at 25, 213 miles, then 35,422 miles, 48,391, and most recently 49,908 miles. The first time it was taken to a dealer, nothing was found. Most recently I took it to the dealer and they immediately said corporate told them to change the fuel pump relays. This sounds like an ongoing issue with the CRV.

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.

When I was turning into a parking lot, all of the dashboard warning lights came on and the vehicle lost power. I was able to safely park the vehicle, but I was unable to get the vehicle to maintain power. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. It was determined the fuel injectors failed, causing the spark plugs to fail and fuel to leak into the oil. The dealership said that they had seen this previously in certain years and models. After researching the issue on the internet, it appears that this is a known issue for certain Honda vehicles. Honda agreed to reimburse me for the spark plugs and labor for the spark plugs because it is a known issue. I'm just very lucky that I wasn't on a freeway traveling at higher speeds when this happened. I believe there is a pending class action lawsuit that is trying to force Honda to issue a recall for this problem.

All warning dash lights came on. Took for service they say it is the fuel injector is bad and gas running too rich. There is a recall for fuel injector on 2018 Honda CRV but not this one?

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.

I have a 2018 Honda CR-V purchased 12/4/2017. During the fall/winter of 2018, the warning lights and bells came on for apparently no reason and the vehicle would barely move down the road. Turning off the vehicle and restarting it fixed the issue with the vehicle moving however the lights remained on. I took the vehicle in to be checked by the dealer at least twice, but they were unable to find any problem. At this time the only possible solution that I found from searching the problem on google was a possible loose battery connection or low voltage in batter. They reset the computer and it has continued to occur multiple times since then. Once again on Friday, February 4, 2022, I took the vehicle in for a service with the warning lights all on again. They fixed some extended warranty issues which they thought fixed the problem. However, within less than 5 minutes after starting the vehicle all the lights were on again. At this time, I again did a google search for this issue and now I am finding that 4 years later with hundreds of people continuing to have the same problem repeatedly the fix that seems to be the actual solution is to replace the fuel injectors. Yet, Honda is refusing to recognize this as their problem and forcing their customers to foot the bill for this repair that has obviously been an issue since the vehicle was purchased. When all the warning lights are on none of the vehicle safety features work and all the flashing lights and dinging bells are a major driver distraction. Nevermind when start your car and attempt to pull onto the road and the vehicle will not run over 5 miles an hour with the gas pedal to the floor. I had to pull over on the side of the road which was not wide enough for me to get out of the road and turn off my ignition and restart my car. Thankfully it would accelerate at a normal speed afterwards and I was able to get home safely.

My CRV TOURING 2018 has a little over 23,000 miles. I started the car and all of the safety lights come on as malfunctioning. I could not get the vehicle to back up out of the garage. I never put the brakes on. I finally was able to get it out of the garage and to the dealership. Two of the personnel at the dealership said they had never seen that many lights on the dash come on and some they had never seen. This is the second battery that has been put into the car and the charge was good. The car was looked at for several hours. They did not know what was wrong and reset the system some how and I went home. The paperwork said I told them the car was hard to start which I never said. Three days later upon starting the car all of the same lights and warnings came on. This time I was able to back up with no issues. I went straight to the dealer and asked them to do an ECU check. They said it could be the fuel injectors; however could not guarantee that would solve the problem with all the lights coming on. Had the car all day and came back with about 7 codes. I had to ask what the codes were as they had not been written down on my statement. I wrote them down and looked them up that night. Two of them were under warranty. The mechanic did not know the two codes were under warranty and did not look into it further. I took the car in for the third time and had the codes updated and checked. One was for the injectors which they said failed. The other was a check for spark plugs, etc. to help eliminate the source of problem. Again, they said the problem was the injectors and the cost to repair would be $2,200.00. I have requested a Good Will Repair which was over three weeks ago. Honda North America said the District Manager would be handling it and then I was told that the District Manager would let the Service Manager at Honda dealership handle it. That person has not returned my calls. I am not driving my car much and really need it badly.

While driving on a busy interstate in the rain my car completely lost power and started sputtering. It felt like it was out of gas, however, the gas light was not on and I had about 1/4 tank of gas. I was only able to make it to the on ramp and not completely off of the interstate. Once the car was shut off it would not restart. We had it towed to the dealership where we still have an extended performance warranty. It was a Saturday night so I did not hear from the until Monday morning. The service tech said they believed it was out of gas but I explained there was no warning and shouldnt have been out of gas. When the tech called back he again said it was out of gas and that was it so I pushed to do more. The manager called back the next day and stated since i have an extended warranty they will run diagnostics. That came back it was the fuel pump module. This has been recalled on other 2018 Honda CRV's but my VIN was not included. The tech acted like he was not even aware there had been a recall.

My car dashboard went crazy, all lights lit up and various problems flashing. Took my car in and today they are telling me a fuel injector problem will cost $2,500 to repair. That they have never seen this. However, when doing research the 2017-2018 Honda CRVs are having issues with this and yet a safety recall hasn't been issued.? This is my 3rd Honda and will probably be my last. Very disappointed in this one. Nothing but issues. Tire pressure monitor system is screwed up as well that started after it was a week old. If a vehicle is having issues, why isn't a recall been made?

All warning lights come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle has under 100k miles on it. As a result, when operating vehicle, many safety features are unable to be used: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Adaptive Cruise Control Braking System Failure Power Steering Failure Vehicle Stability Assist and a myriad of other warning lights. This makes this vehicle, purchased for many of these safety features, UNSAFE and a hazard. Fuel injectors should not be failing so early in the life cycle of a vehicle. Speaking with Service Advisors at the dealership this is a manufacturing issue with other models, but not with this model. Research on the internet and Honda forums indicates this is a KNOWN ISSUE which Honda REFUSES to make right. Instead consumers are forced to pay outrageous repair fees and usually only at their dealerships due to the specialty of the parts involved. Honda should be addressing this manufacturing issue rather than forcing consumers to pay for their mistakes with a virtually brand new car.

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.

My 2018 Honda CR-V loses power and acceleration when driving, sometimes on the freeway. In addition, the computer system goes haywire and lights up all the engine failure lights. I've taken the vehicle to a mechanic four times for this problem, twice to a Honda dealership; the diagnosis each time has been a faulty fuel injector that spews gasoline into the oil. According to Consumer Reports, this problem has been common with the 2017 and 2018 models of this vehicle, and the Honda Co. agreed to extend the warranty on these models to cover the repair of a common problem among the models in these years. However, this visit to Honda of Bedford, Ohio, the dealership has kept the vehicle for four weeks because the Honda corporation refuses to repair a fuel injector that spews gasoline into the oil pan. The fuel injector was faulty but Honda won’t take responsibility. It’s a fire hazard as well as it could cause an accident when it loses power. especially in a high traffic area. My request is to compel the Honda Corporation to cover the cost of this repair in that the fuel injector in may of the 2017/2018 models were faulty from the factory.

Turned on vehicle and all warning lights come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle has under 100k miles on it. As a result, when operating vehicle, many safety features are unable to be used: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Adaptive Cruise Control Braking System Failure Power Steering Failure Vehicle Stability Assist and a myriad of other warning lights. This makes this vehicle, purchased for many of these safety features, UNSAFE and a hazard. Fuel injectors should not be failing so early in the life cycle of a vehicle. I"ve had many vehicles and have never had this type of issue and especially not so few miles. Research on the internet and Honda forums indicates this is a KNOWN ISSUE which Honda REFUSES to make right. Instead consumers are forced to pay outrageous repair fees and usually only at their dealerships due to the specialty of the parts involved. Because they are sold in a kit and all must be replaced essentially this smells like a money grab by Honda. Its deceit and makes one question if Honda should continue to receive ones business going forward.

I was driving and then the car wouldn't go, seems like a fuel pump issue. There is a recall on fuel pumps for this year but according to Honda and this site mine is not effected. I disagree.

While driving on the highway the service engine soon light started blinking and the engine lost power effecting my ability to keep up with traffic. After coming to a stop the light stopped. When I started the engine back up there was a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. I checked the oil level and it was at least 1/2 inch above full and smelled strongly of gas.

TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID IT NEEDED COILS AND SPARK PLUGS , ABOUT $ 1000 LATER TOOK THE CAR HOME AND CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING, TOOK IT BACK TO PEP BOYS AND SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT CAR FOR THAT PROBLEM .

FOR NO APPARENT REASON ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS (FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, ETC.) BEGIN FLASHING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN (ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE WARNING LIGHTS STOPPED EVENTUALLY. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD NOT QUIT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL PIPE AT A COST OF $2029.00. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 32,746 MILES ON IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FUEL INJECTORS SHOULD LAST BETWEEN 50,000 AND 100,000 MILES. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES. OF COURSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

3WKS FEB23, 2021 I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CRV I WAS LOOKING AT SOME CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT OIL DELETION IN THE ENGINE, I'M VERY WORRIED BECAUSE I DO GET A GAS SMELL INSIDE MY CAR, FROM THE EXHAUST AND WHEN I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. IT DOESN'T SHOW AS A RECALL BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING AND I'M WORRIED THE VEHICLE WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES.

2018 HONDA CR-V WITH 44000 MILES ON IT. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED SCROLLING ACROSS THE DASH SCREEN WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT. RESTARTED THE CAR, AND THE WARNINGS CONTINUED TO SCROLL. BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALER, AND DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THAT ALL FOUR FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, COST $1,000. THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND ALWAYS USE QUALITY FUEL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS IN PREVIOUS VEHICLES.

I WAS ON HIGHWAY I35 HEADING TO DALLAS DRIVING 70MPH. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 18 WHEELERS AND OTHER TRAFFIC ZOOMING BY ME HONKING DUE TO MY SPEED DRASTICALLY DROPPING. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS TERRIFIED I WAS GOING TO GET SLAM INTO BY ONE OF THE MANY SEMI-TRUCKS. IT WAS TERRIFYING. CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED. CLEO BAY HONDA (KILEEN, TX) SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE OF ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY TO HEAD BACK TO GEORGETOWN AND THE SAMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN. I AGAIN WAS FORCED TO CROSS 2-3 LANES BY COASTING TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THEY NOW ARE GOING TO REPLACE ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR'S SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN, FEARING THE 3RD TIME I WILL BE KILLED. I DODGED TWO BULLETS WITH THIS CAR, WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO DODGE ANYMORE? VERY SCARY! THIS CAR WAS PROGRAMED TO SHUT DOWN WHEN A MISFIRE OCCURS BUT THEY FAIL TO CONSIDER WHERE THE DRIVER MIGHT BE WHEN IT HAPPENS. TWICE IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND I LOST ALL SPEED WITH CARS/SEMI-TRUCKS GOING 70-75MPH PAST ME AND I AM FORCED TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE FEAR THAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WAS STILL FRIGHTENING AND TO HAVE IT HAPPEN A SECOND TIME WAS TERRIFYING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING IT.

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.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS PARKING MY CRV AND ALL OF MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. MY CRUISE. LANE KEEP ASSIST OTHER FEATURES ARE COMPLETELY DISABLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. 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.

I KEEP SMELLING GASOLINE AND HAVING TO GET OIL CHANGES WELL BEFORE 5,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE. I FEAR THAT THE ENGINE IS GOING TO GIVE OUT SOON.

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE WITH HALF A TANK OF GAS ON SUNDAY. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT TO START MY CAR TO NO AVAIL. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE. THIS WORKED, HOWEVER MY GAS WAS NOW ON EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN LOCKED, NO LIGHTS ON IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS. I HAVE ONLY USED IT FOR SHORT DRIVES SINCE MARCH DUE TO COVID-19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT GASOLINE LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE OIL AND CAUSED ENGINE OIL DILUTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA MOTOR WORK (1475 SOUTH BARRINGTON ROAD, BARRINGTON, IL 60010, (847)-381-8900), WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO MONITOR THE OIL LEVEL AND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED EVERY 1,000 MILES.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE ENGINE OIL. THE OIL LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER ON THE DIPSTICK THAN AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE, INDICATING GASOLINE IS SOMEHOW MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE OIL. THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN ON EVERY TRIP. CAR IS OWNED AND OPERATED IN ATLANTA, GA.

Mileage: 16,381

I SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE GASOLINE SMELL IS NOT PRESENT ON INITIAL START UP BUT HAPPENS WHEN I RUN ERRANDS WHICH REQUIRES MANY STOPS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES. IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN WINDOWS TO VENTILATE THE CABIN. I HAVE ALSO LOST THE SENSORS THREE TIMES AND MY SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK REQUIRING ME TO REBOOT. I HAVE TALKED TO TECHNICIAN THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE GAS DILUTION FIXED?

STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN STOPPED THE FUEL LEVEL IS HIGH, KNOWN HONDA OIL DILUTION PROBLEM CHECKED BY EAST COAST HONDA MYRTLE BEACH S C THEY REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS PIPES AND OIL AGAIN FOR 3RD TIME. CONTINUALLY OVERFULL CRANKCAS. HONDA HAS AN OPEN CASE ALSO #10008784 AND DEALERSHIP IS WORKING ON THE SOLUTION BUT IT STILL EXISTS!

WHILE DRIVING ON 45 MPH ROAD ON 2020 FEB 18 MORNING, THE VEHICLE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP AFTER I CROSSED A SIGNAL INTERSECTION. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE FRONT OR BACK LUCKILY AND I DID NOT GET DAMAGED. I TOOK THE CR-V TO PERFECTION HONDA IN RIO RANCHO, AFTER HOLDING THE VEHICLE FOR CHECK UP FOR 24 HRS, THEY DID NOT GIVE A MEANINGFUL REASON AND ONLY GIVEN IRRELEVANT ANSWER.

WHILE IN MOTION THE CR-V CONTINUES TO BRIGHT LIGHT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY WHILE THE VOLUME OF THE STEREO GOES CONSTANTLY FROM LOUD TO MUTE, AND THE DOOR LOCK/ UNLOCKS BEING CONTINUAL. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, USAGE OF FUEL DRASTICALLY INCREASED, NOTICED OUR THROATS HURTING/ VOICE HOARSENESS/ COUGHING/ PASSENGER PASS OUT UNTIL WINDOWS ARE CRACKED OPEN (CARBON MONOXIDE?). CONSTANT SPUTTERING, NO HORSEPOWER, CAN'T STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES SAYING ROAD DEPARTURE (CLEARLY WE ARE NOT DEPARTING THE ROADWAY). DOORS TO THE BACK HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO OPEN THEM, CAUSING THE CHILDREN TO PANIC IN FEAR OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START HAS ONLY WORKED (2) TIMES IN A YEARS TIME. THERE HAS BEEN A BUZZING/ HUMMING MOTOR SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR OVER (5) HOURS. GASOLINE HAS NOW BEEN NOTICED IN THE OIL. THE DASH PERIODICALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS (DIMMING/ BRIGHT LIGHTS) DOES NOT WORK, AND HAS ONLY WORKED (1) TIME. A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT HAS SMOKED, LIKE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ANYTIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. FEARFUL OF TRAVELING IN THE CR-V, WE DO NOT USE AFTER DARK, THE AMOUNT SPENT ON FUEL HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED AND WE DO DRASTICALLY LESS DRIVING IN THE CR-V SINCE THE INCREASING FUEL USAGE. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S DIFFICULT CORRECTING THE STEERING WHEN IT IS PULLING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CRV, MOST RECENTLY A COMPLETE MALFUNCTION WHERE CAR DID NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL FLASHING ON ALERT. 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.

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.

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!

THIS IS WITH LESS THAN 700 MILES SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE THAT I HAD DONE ON FEBRUARY 13, 2019. MY FIRST OIL CHANGE WAS WITH 4525 MILES, THIS WAS DONE AS PART OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. ON THIS MARCH 6TH TRIP I WAS ABOUT 40 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) SHUT DOWN, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS ALL CAME UP ON DASH OF CAR AND KEPT SCROLLING ON DASH. WHEN MY CAR DID THIS I WAS UNSURE, FELT UNSAFE AND WAS FRUSTRATED AS NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I AM GOING TO HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THOSE SYSTEMS THAT WERE SCROLLING ON DASH WEREN'T OPERATING. IT WAS 6 F OUTSIDE A CLEAR ROAD AND A SUNNY DAY IN NORTH DAKOTA. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS HIGH AND THAT THERE WAS AGAIN GAS IN MY OIL AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND WONDERING HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I WILL BE HAVING WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE AND THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME IS 100 MILES AWAY, WHICH CAUSES ME TIME AND EXPENSE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. THIS ALSO CAUSES ME TO WONDER HOW RELIABLE THIS NEW VEHICLE CAN BE IN NORTH DAKOTA IN THE WINTER TIME AS ALSO NOT GETTING MUCH HEAT OUT OF THE HEATING SYSTEM EITHER, SO BETWEEN THE HEAT, THE GAS IN THE OIL AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I AM NOT FEELING THAT THIS IS A SAFE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, AS A PERSON COULD FREEZE TO DEATH IF ENDED UP STRANDED WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND NO HEAT, LIKE IT DID WHEN I HAD MY APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL ON 2-12-19 AND IT HAD TO BE PUT ON FLAT BED TRUCK TO GET RECALL DONE.

2018 HONDA CR-V TOURING EDITION WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT IN KANSAS CITY, MO. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE INVADED THE CABIN. AS I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME, I KEPT DRIVING, THINKING IT MAY HAVE BEEN FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SMELL REMAINED. WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE HOOD, AND IT WAS CLEAR MY ENGINE WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FUMES. HAD TO KEEP THE GARAGE OPEN FOR FEAR THE FUMES COULD IGNITE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, AND IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING.

Mileage: 4,000

AT SEVERAL POINTS IN TIME DURING NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, I SMELLED A FOUL ODOR IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THERE WAS A RECALL IN WHICH THEY APPLIED THE FIX. EVEN NOW, THERE APPEARS TO BE A FOUL SMELL ONCE IN A WHILE. THE HEATING SYSTEM TAKES A LONG TIME TO HEAT UP IN THE WINTER. IF IN PARK/IDLE MODE, THE HEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE LESS HOT FOR SOME REASON.

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 NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL BEING OVER FULL IN THE FALL OF 2018, AT THAT TIME WE HAD ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 7237 MILES I HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE OUR DEALER ON OCTOBER 15, 2018. I BECAME AWARE OF THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM HONDA REGARDING SERVICE BULLETIN 18-114. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND IT TO BE WAY OVER-FILLED ON DECEMBER 1, 2018. 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. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA FORMALLY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AS THE CANADIAN AND CHINESE GOVERNMENTS HAVE AND HAVE FOUND THIS MATTER TO BE REAL.

THIS CAR HAS SUFFERED FROM OIL DILUTION WITH GASOLINE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2018. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE OIL AT MY EXPENSE AND CLAIMED THAT INCREASING OIL IN THE CRANKCASE IS NORMAL AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED. THE OIL LEVEL INCREASES ABOUT 1 QUART FOR EVERY 2000 MILES DRIVEN AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ALL AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN SHORT TRIPS OR EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVES.

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.

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.

MY 2018 HONDA CRV HAS THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE AT MY FIRST OIL CHANGE I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER WHY MY OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE TOP OF THE DIP STICK BY ABOUT 3/4 AN INCH AND THE OIL SMELLED LIKE GAS AND I ALSO ASKED HIM WHY I SMELLED IT IN THE CABIN. HE SAID ANYTHING WAS WRONG IT WAS NORMAL. I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND IT WOULD GO UP 1/8 INCH EVERY 1000 MILES. I TOOK THE CRV BACK THE DEALER BECAUSE THE HEATER WOULD NOT GET WARM AT ALL AT IDLE AND THE SMELL OF GAS WAS TERRIBLE MY GARAGE EVEN HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GAS.THE DEALER TOLD ME I DEFINITELY HAD GAS IN THE OIL AND THE HEATER PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE GAS IN THE OIL ISSUE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. THEY DID A OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME IF HONDA CAME UP WITH A FIX. IT'S NOW 4 DAYS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND THE OIL IS ALREADY OVER THE DIP STICK. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AFTER TALKING TO THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE I FINALLY TALK TO A CASE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME GAS IN THE OIL WAS NORMAL AND TO TAKE THE CRV BACK TO THE DEALER IF THE HEATER WAS NOT WORKING. HE IS PROTECTING HONDA BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HUGH ISSUE. I DID NOT GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME. PLEASE HELP HONDA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID IN CANADA AND CHINA FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU!

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.

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.

OCTOBER 2018 WE TOOK OUR NEW C RV ON A TRIP TO NASHVILLE, TN FROM TRAVERSE CITY, MI. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL CAN ICON LIT UP. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE C RV FROM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT HIGH. I BROUGHT THE HONDA TO A QUICK LUBE TO CHECK IT. 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. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE HEATER TO NOT WORK WITH THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOMETHING, THE HEATER BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME, WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. ON AN EARLIER OCCASION OUR NEW CR-V WOULD NOT START AS AFTER ONLY 30 MINUTES OF SITTING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US YOU CAN'T LEAVE ANY LIGHTS ON AS THE BATTERY WONT LAST VERY LONG.

STRONG GAS SMELL IN GARAGE AFTER PARKING (HEATED GARAGE) - TAKES 6-8 HRS TO DISSIPATE SMELL DRIVING AND STATIONARY: STRONG GAS SMELL INTO DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER AREA, OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF CAR AND UNDER HOOD - SMELL APPEARS TO COME INTO CABIN WITH HEATER ON THROUGH VENTS. WINDOWS HAVE TO BE ROLLED DOWN AND HEATER OFF TO GET RID OF SMELL - MY EYES WATER, THROAT BECOMES TIGHT AND NOSE STARTS STINGING IMMEDIATELY - HEADACHES START AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND CONTINUE FOR 4-5 HRS AS DO THE OTHER SYMPTOMS THIS CABIN/UNDER HOOD GAS SMELL HAS HAPPENED WITH OUTSIDE TEMPS FROM 28-60 DEGREES. GAS SMELL IS MORE CONCENTRATED AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING THE CAR AND THEN TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RETURNING TO CAR TO START ENGINE WITHIN 10 MINUTES TO 4 HRS - IT LITERALLY MAKES ME NAUSEOUS AND DIZZY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER CAR IS IN GARAGE, DRIVING ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. HAS BECOME WORSE THE PAST 6 WEEKS (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE 2018) FROM HONDA DEALER IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. IT CURRENTLY HAS 2500 MILES ON ODOMETER WHAT ABOUT A FIRE UNDER HOOD FROM EXCESS FUEL NOT BEING BURNED OFF? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY HEALTH AND EMISSIONS HAVE DRIVEN MANY TYPES OF CARS FOR OVER 50 YRS AND NEVER HAD THESE GAS INTRUSION ISSUES OR OIL INTRUSION FROM FUEL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NEED TO "AIR CAR OUT" BECAUSE OF SMELL AND IT'S RAINING OR SNOWING? THE POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE DAMAGE IN CONCERNING - EXAMPLE: HOW DOES GAS MIXED WITH OIL, LUBRICATE AN ENGINE AND ITS RELATED COMPONENTS PROPERLY? WHY IS THERE EXCESS BUILD UP OF FUEL IN OIL PAN? WHY AM I SUBJECTED TO THE NOXIOUS, HIDEOUS, AND SICKENING GAS SMELL IN CABIN? THEREFORE, I WOULD EXPECT AT A MINIMUM EXTENDED DRIVE TRAIN/ENGINE WARRANTY TO 6 YRS FROM HONDA WHICH WAS GRANTED IN CANADA AND WANT GAS SMELL ELIMINATED

I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GARAGE THAT HAD CHANGED MY OIL PUT THE WRONG OIL IN. THIS WAS A LIE ON THE DEALERSHIPS PART AS THEY HAD NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THEIR ASSERTION. I BELIEVE I HAVE ONE OF THOSE CRVS WITH THE ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. MY HONDA HAS THE TURBO-4 CYLINDER MOTOR. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THESE ENGINE ISSUES OVER THE SUMMER BUT WHEN I MY CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA, AFTER THANKSGIVING, THEY ACTED LIKE THE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

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. WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THE MODIFICATION DONE TO OUR CR-V'S.

Mileage: 1,500

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL CAUSING THE OIL LEVEL TO BECOME HIGH AND THE OIL DILUTED. ON SHORT COLD TRIPS, THE CAB SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER AND NOT EVEN 300 MILES LATER, THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGH AGAIN AND THE OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE. ADDITIONALLY, MY CR-V DOES NOT HEAT UP PROPERLY. WHEN STARTED COLD, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE DASH NEVER COMES OFF OF COLD, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IDLES. IT TAKES AT LEAST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO REGISTER HEAT. WHEN I REMOTE START MY CAR ON COLD DAYS, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY HEAT UP THE CAR.

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.

ALSO, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN TEMPS ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND BELOW MY CR-V CANNOT HOLD A NORMAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE WHEN GOING DOWNHILL OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS IS TURN CAUSES MY WINDSHIELD TO ICE OVER CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADS. I HAVE CONTACTED AND VISITED MY HONDA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. HOW CAN MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THESE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AND NOTHING BE WRONG? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION AND MY DEALER.

ON A CITY STREET, AFTER SLOW ACCELERATION AFTER LEAVING A STOP SIGN,WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SUDDENLY ENGAGED AND HARD BRAKED THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR I FEAR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED! ALSO I AM CONCERNED THAT HONDA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM WITH THE EARTHDREAM TURBO 1.5 ENGINE CAUSING GASOLINE TO ENTER THE OIL. I LIVE IN MARYLAND, USA AND HONDA HAS DONE RECALLS IN CHINA AND NOW CANADA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS POOR HEATING, BUT NOT IN THE USA. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY! I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. MANY OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT THE BUTTON YOU MUST PUSH IN TO SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF PARK WILL BREAK WITHOUT WARNING, PREVENTING SHIFTING GEARS.

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.

THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER THE EXTRA OIL CHANGES. MY CAR WAS AT THEIR FACILITY OCTOBER 8 AND 9, 2018. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AND IF I SEE THE LEVEL ABOVE THE NORMAL READING TO CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY, OR IF I SEE MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON.

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.

STARTED NOTICING ENGINE KNOCKING IN THE FIRST 500 MILES. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 2,509 MILES MOSTLY FREEWAY DRIVING. PURCHASED APRIL 2018. FIRST DROVE IT IN APRIL 409 MILES ROUND TRIP, AND THEN AGAIN IN MAY, SAME MILEAGE AND AGAIN IN AUGUST. ONLY STARTED DRIVING IT DAILY TO AND FROM WORK 16 MILES ROUND TRIP IN SEPTEMBER AND IT HAD 1600 MILES. I THEN DROVE IT ON OCTOBER 400 MILES ROUND TRIP AND NOW I SMELL GASOLINE IN CAR AND IT STALLED ON ME WHILE TRYING TO MAKE LEFT TURN IN INTERSECTION. ALSO LIGHTS AROUND MIRROR DO NOT STAY ON. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE SMELLING GAS. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

GAS DILUTION WITH ENGINE OIL CAUSING RAISE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL OVER THE MAXIMUM LIMIT OF DIP STICK. ALSO STRONG FUEL SMELL IS COMING FROM THE DIP STICK WHEN PULL OVER. SO FAR NO FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. DROVE ONLY 800MILES. TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE ON OCT 13 THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR CR V. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE HONDA MANUFACTURER'S FIX WHICH SUPPOSE TO COME ON THIS NOVEMBER. NO ENGINE DIAGNOSE AND OIL CHANGE DONE.

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.

IT WAS A COMPLETE PACKAGE .... MY DREAM RETIREMENT VEHICLE ....... THE DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I THAT OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 7000 MILES OR SO .... MY HUSBAND IS A METICULOUS MECHANIC ... 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. THIS IS HAPPENING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I HAD TO GET MY OIL CHANGE EARLY AT LESS THAN 3500 MILES BECAUSE THE SMELL OF OIL AND OIL LEVEL INCREASE WAS BAD.

ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 5TH, AFTER READING CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ABOUT FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL I WENT AND SMELLED MY 2018 HONDA CR-V'S AWD EX OIL DIP STICK AND SMELLED A VERY STRONG ODER OF FUEL. ON MONDAY OCT. 8TH I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR A CHECK OF THE ISSUE. ON TUESDAY OCT 9TH I BROUGHT MY CR-V IN FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE CHECK, THE FOLLOWING IS THE SUMMARY OFF THE CUSTOMER'S COPY OF THE INVOICE. "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 WILL REPEAT "THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND HONDA HAS YET TO COME UP WITH COUNTER MEASURE FOR ISSUE" I WAS VERBALLY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS REPORTED TO HONDA AS HAVING THE "KNOWN ISSUE", I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUE HONDA BELIEVES IS RELATED TO COLDER CLIMATES. 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.

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.

WHEN CHECKING THE OIL DIPSTICK WITH A 1.5L TURBO ENGINE, I NOTICED THE OIL SMELLED OF GASOLINE AND AND IS NOT THE CONSISTENCY OF ENGINE 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

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ON OIL DIPSTICK (REPEATED THIS THREE TIMES AND GOT THE SAME RESULT EACH TIME). I WAS PROMPTED TO CHECK THIS AFTER READING A CONSUMERS REPORT ALERT ABOUT THE OWNERS OF 2017 AND 2018 CR-V'S REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE OIL SYSTEM.

Mileage: 2,021

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.

Mileage: 6,400

I LIVE IN A TEMPERATE CLIMATE AND USE THIS VEHICLE PREDOMINANTLY FOR SHORT, SIDE STREET TRIPS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN ECONOMY MODE (ECON BUTTON). WHEN USED SOLELY IN THIS MANOR FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS, THE OIL AND EXHAUST HAVE A STRONG STENCH OF UNBURNED GASOLINE. THE FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN THAT BUILD UP IN BETWEEN VEHICLE USES CAN GET VERY STRONG. SO MUCH SO THAT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER GETTING INTO THE CAR I FELT DIZZY, DISORIENTED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH. A VEHICLE THAT CAN BUILD UP NOXIOUS FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN THAT MAKE YOU DISORIENTED AND SICK IS NOT SAFE OR HEALTHY. IF A DRIVER IS UNAWARE THAT THEIR STATE OF MIND HAS BEEN ALTERED BY THE FUMES (DUI?), IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. NOT ONLY SHOULD NHTSA OPEN AN SAFETY INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER, BUT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND HEALTH STUDIES SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BY THE EPA TO ASCERTAIN WHAT OTHER HAZARDS ARE AT PLAY HERE. DATE OF INCIDENT AND MILEAGE LISTED IS ARBITRARY, AS THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY HAZARD.

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.

CAR ACCELERATES RAPIDLY, SURGES FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION.

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.

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.

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED, AND THE BRAKED DID NOT HOLD IT. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HONDA HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, AND 1800 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO GET THE CAR, SINCE SOMEONE MAY BE KILLED THE NEXT TIME THE CAR DECIDES TO ACT UP. PLEASE HELP

AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. I HAVE SINCE READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITES WHERE OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, I CAN SMELL GAS ON THE DIPSTICK. I AM AWARE HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE U.S. AS WELL AND DO IT IMMEDIATELY.

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.

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.
