NO ONE HAS CALLED AT THIS TIME NOV 26TH 2018
Engine, Nov 25, 2018
MY 1.5L TURBO CHARGED ENGINE HAS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE ENGINE OIL. SO GASOLINE IS MIXING WITH MY ENGINE OIL AND MAY CAUSE EARLY ENGINE FAILURE OR A SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THE GASOLINE SMELL WHEN CHANGING MY ENGINE OIL AND THE CAR IS PARKED.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Nov 24, 2018
SINCE PURCHASING MY HONDA CR-V 1.5 TURBO IN 2017 I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO EPISODES OF MY CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON NYC STREETS. ON BOTH OF THESE OCCASIONS I NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING REAR ENDED AND BEING FORCED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME SWERVED TO AVOID COLLIDING INTO ME. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED MANY FAILURES OF MY HONDA SENSE SYSTEM WHEREBY MY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED, MY ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILED, WHERE MY AUDIO POWER WENT OFF, MY AUTO HIGH BEAM SYSTEM HAD FAILURES, WHICH LEAD ME TO FEEL VERY UNEASY DRIVING MY VEHICLE. AT ALL TIMES, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE SYSTEM FAILURES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING ON COUNTRY ROADS AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS! THIS WAS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES!
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 24, 2018
I NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN MY CABIN OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE OIL AND NOTICED A GAS SMELL THERE TOO. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS FROM HONDA. I AM TRYING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT, BUT IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 23, 2018
FUEL IS MIXING IN OIL. THE OIL DIPSTICK SMELLS LIKE GAS AND THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. HONDA CALLS IT ABNORMAL OIL DILUTION. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HE PUT DOCUMENTATION OF OIL SMELL ON DIPSTICK ON RECEIPT BUT SAID HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR THIS IN KANSAS. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERRED TO CLAIM MANAGEMENT TEAM WHO SAID NO FIX FOR THIS IN KANSAS AND HE "DOESN'T THINK IT WILL HURT THE ENGINE" EVEN IMMEDIATLY AFTER OIL CHANGE THE DIPSTICK STILL SMELLED LIKE GAS EVEN AFTER WIPING IT. I BELIEVE THAT OIL DILUTION CAN CAUSE WEAR DAMAGE TO AN ENGINE. I DRIVE MY CRV 3 MILES TO WORK.
Engine, Nov 22, 2018, fire
VEHICLE HAS GASOLINE THAT GETS INTO THE OIL, RAISING THE LEVEL WHEN THE OIL IS CHECKED. THERE IS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL. THE CAR WILL BE RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND ENGINE LOSES POWER AND YOU HAVE TO CRUISE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. LIGHTS THEN GO OFF AND ENGINE RUNS FINE, BUT THERE IS STILL A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE UNDER THE HOOD AND ESPECIALLY IN THE OIL. WE ARE AFRAID OF A POSSIBLE FIRE, ENGINE DAMAGE, OR LOSING POWER AND CONTROL (POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ETC.), POSSIBLE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 22, 2018
AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. ALSO THE CAR PRODUCES LITTLE HEAT WHEN THE HEATER IS ON.
Engine, Nov 20, 2018
ENGINE OIL BEING DILUTED BY GASOLINE CONTAMINATION, OVERFILLING THE CRANKCASE. LIQUID LEVEL IS ABOVE THE MAXIMUM LEVEL PERMITTED ON THE DIPSTICK. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017-2018 HONDA CR-VS. SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, THOUGH I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THAT YET. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN DISCOVERED.
Engine, Nov 20, 2018
I SMELL GAS IN MY CABIN AND FOUND GAS IN MY ENGINE OIL WHICH WAS OVERFILLED. I FEEL DIZZY AND HAD HEADACHE DUE TO THAT SMELL.
Engine, Nov 20, 2018
OIL DILUTION. WHEN CHECKING THE LEVEL OF MY OIL, IT IS WAY OVERFULL ON THE DIPSTICK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ( ROUSH HONDA - MEDINA ), AND WAS INFORMED THAT YES, THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGH, AND THEY CONFIRMED OIL DILUTION WHERE THE OIL IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT POSE A PROBLEM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, I HAVE READ OF INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLES CR-V'S HAVE STALLED OUT, AND OF PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. GASOLINE IN THE OIL CAN NOT BE RIGHT.
Engine, Nov 20, 2018
GASOLINE IS GETTING INTO THE OIL, RAISING THE OIL LEVEL AND CAUSING THE OIL TO SMELL OF GASOLINE AND LOSE ITS EFFECTIVENESS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE GAS GETTING WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG AND CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS AFTER 5 DAYS OF USE AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED BY THE DEALER BEFORE I BOUGHT IT.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 20, 2018
FUEL IS GETTING IN ENGINE OIL AND DELUTING IT. 1.5 TURBO ENGINE. CALL HONDA OF AMERICA THEY SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. HONDA GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER. DEALER CHANGE OIL TOLD TO KEEP A WATCH ON IT. CALLED HONDA BACK WITH CASE NUMBER THEY SAID HONDA HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD JUST TO WATCH FOR SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A FIX. MEANWHILE MY ENGINE IN BEING DAMAGED BY NOT HAVING PROPER OIL LUBERCATION FROM FUEL BEING IN OIL
Engine, Nov 19, 2018
GAS IS MIXING WITH THE OIL CAUSING AN OVERFILL SITUATION IN THE ENGINE OIL. IT IS ALSO CAUSING THE OIL TO BE DILUTED AND MAY BE CAUSING PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR. YOU CAN CHECK THE OIL AND THE DIPSTICK CLEARLY SHOWS AN OVER FILL SITUATION AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS ON THE DIPSTICK.
Engine, Nov 18, 2018
THERE IS GAS IN MY OIL. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES YET, BUT I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND KNOW THAT THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE.
Engine, Nov 18, 2018
I FOUND A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL FOR MY 2017 HONDA CR V. THE DEALER SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO DAMSON HONDA ON 10/182018. THEY VERIFIED THAT GAS WAS IN THE OIL WITH AN .19 MM ADDITIONAL VOLUME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 18, 2018
I OCCASIONALLY NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE AROUND THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IT WAS ABOUT 1/4 IN. ABOVE THE FULL MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (SCOTT HONDA OF WEST CHESTER) WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE HIGH OIL LEVEL AND NOTED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO ENGINE BUT HONDA DID NOT HAVE A FIX AVAILABLE. THE DEALER CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND WAS AUTHORIZED TO CHANGE THE OIL UNDER WARRANTY.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 17, 2018
CRANKCASE IS FILLING WITH GASOLINE FROM THE CYLINDERS CAUSING A HIGH LEVEL ON THE OIL DIPSTICK (APPROX.1/2 INCH ABOVE THE HIGH MARK) ALSO KNOWN AS OIL DILUTION.OIL HAD NO VISCOSITY WHEN I CHANGED IT AND IT REAKED OF GASOLINE.TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A REMEDY YET.MEANWHILE MY VEHICLES ENGINE AND I AM SURE THOUSANDS MORE ARE BEING PREMATURELY ABUSED AND WORN BECAUSE OF GASOLINE (SOLVENT) IN THE OIL.HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND SOON!
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 16, 2018
I DISCOVERED FUEL IN THE OIL OF MY 2017 TURBO HONDA CR V WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO BEAVERTON HONDA ON 11/16/2018 TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY "VERIFIED CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS OF FUEL IN ENGINE OIL." THEY ALSO "ADJUSTED OIL LEVEL" AND THEN REFERRED ME TO A HONDA VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THEY SIMPLY REMOVED GOOD OIL TO MAKE ROOM FOR MORE GAS IN THE OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS.. APPARENTLY, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 16, 2018
ON 10-11-18 I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CONSUMER REPORTS WHICH INCLUDED AN ARTICLE ABOUT ISSUES WITH HONDA'S 1.5 TURBO ENGINES. I HAD RECENTLY BEEN NOTICING ENGINE RESPONSE LAG, ON MY 2017 CRV TOURING, SO I WENT OUT AND CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A FUEL SMELL ON THE DIP STICK. THE OIL LEVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 INCH OVER THE TOP MARK. (TILL NOW I HAD NOT NOTICED AN ISSUE WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL PERIODICALLY SINCE MY 6-19-2018 OIL CHANGE). I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. AT MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON 10/18/2018. THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I ARRIVED FOR THE APPOINTMENT THE SERVICE REP. SAID HE HAD JUST TALKED TO THEIR HONDA REP. WHO CONFIRMED THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT A FIX WAS TO BE ROLLED OUT IN NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL PERIODICALLY SINCE THE OCTOBER SERVICE AND IT HAS BEEN CREEPING UP REGULARLY. AS OF 11-16-18 THE OIL LEVEL IS AGAIN ABOVE THE ORANGE PLASTIC PIECE THAT CONTAINS THE HIGH/LOW MARKINGS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SHORT AND LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND OVERALL SAFETY. THIS IS OUR 7TH NEW HONDA AND WAS EXPECTING THIS TO BE OUR TRAVEL VEHICLE FOR MANY YEARS.
Engine, Nov 16, 2018
AFTER THE SECOND OIL CHANGE AT 5000 MILES, I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE OIL. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS "NORMAL". I HAVE BEEN CHANGING OIL MORE FREQUENTLY IN HOPE THAT IT WILL ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY CRV HAS 11500 MILES ON IT, THE OIL IS ALWAYS OVER FILL DUE TO OIL DILUTION. I GOT SO PISSED THAT HONDA BUILDS SUCH A [XXX] VEHICLE AND CHARGES US AT HIGH PRICE.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Engine, Nov 15, 2018
WE BOUGHT OUR CRV FROM HONDA OF FIFE ON 9 APRIL 2017. SINCE THAT TIME, OUR CAR HAS HAD THREE STALLS. THE FIRST TWO WERE DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, 2017 AS WE WERE TRAVELLING AT SLOW RATES OF SPEED IN BLIZZARD AND HEAVY SNOW CONDITIONS IN MONTANA AND ALBERTA; THE TEMPERATURES WERE MILD, FOR SNOW STORMS, PROBABLY IN THE MID TO HIGH 20S F. IN BOTH OF THESE INSTANCES, THE VISIBILITY WAS ABOUT 100' AND WE WERE ALONE ON THESE ROADS; HOWEVER, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS TO BE PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IF ANYONE ELSE HAD BEEN COMING OUT OF THE WHITE OF THE STORM; IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. I'D THOUGHT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE POOR OR FROZEN FUEL SO DIDN'T REPORT THE ISSUE TO HONDA. THE THIRD TIME THE CRV STALLED WAS ON THE I-10 BRIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI AT BATON ROUGE, LA.IN MARCH OF 2018.THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 60S. IN THIS CASE, WE WERE IN VERY SLOW, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IN A VERY TIGHT, NARROW LANE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION; THERE WERE NO TURN OUTS OR VERGES. AS WE STARTED THE CLIMB UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, THE CAR STALLED , THERE WERE NO STOP LIGHTS OR BRAKES APPLIED AS I HAD NO WARNING THE CAR WAS GOING TO QUIT AND THE CAR BEHIND ME, BARELY STOPPED BEFORE REAR ENDING US. IT STARTED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AND WE DID NOT CREATE A LONG TERM IMPEDIMENT TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AGAIN, I DID NOT REPORT THIS ISSUE AS I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE POOR FUEL. AMERICAN HONDA HAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH GAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL TOO; A DEALER NOTED THAT OUR OIL SMELLED OF GAS; WE DO NOT KNOW THE LONG TERM AFFECTS ON THE ENGINE OR ANY HAZARDS THE CONDITION POSES. *JS *TR
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 15, 2018
OIL LEVEL WAS NOTICEABLY HIGHER AND HAD A FUEL SMELL TO IT. WE DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE NO FIX FOR IT AS OF NOW BUT TO CHANGE MY OIL MORE OFTEN.
Engine, Nov 14, 2018, crash
OIL ENGINE DELUTED WITH GAS. MIXED OIL LEVEL RISES 1 INCH EVERY 3000-5000 MILES. WHEN REACHES 22MM ABOVE "MAX" MARK ON THE DIP STICK THEN "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE STALLS. HONDA RECALLED 380000 UNITS IN CHINA FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. HERE IN US THEY DO NOTHING EXCEPT RISKING THE LIFE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. SHAME ! FORUMS AND YOUTUBE ARE FULL WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN EVEN SOME TV NEWS CHANNELS MENTIONED IT. HONDA , PLEASE FIX YOUR PROBLEMATIC ENGINE AND COMPENSATE THE CR-V OWNERS AND/OR BUY BACK YOUR OVERPRICED JUNK.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Nov 14, 2018
1. ENGINE OIL LEVEL AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE ( WITH VERY LESS MILEAGE) SHOWS THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN THE "HIGHEST" INDICATOR POINT. IT APPEARS TO BE OIL IS GETTING DILUTED BY UNBURNT FUEL. THIS MAY POTENTIALLY HARM THE ENGINE!!.
Engine, Nov 14, 2018
SMELL OF GAS IS STRONGLY PRESENT ON THE OIL DIPSTICK. THE READING OF THE DIPSTICK IS ABOVE THE FULL MARK AND IT CONTINUES TO RISE. OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED BY DEALER. FOUL SMELL IS SOMETIMES VERY NOTICEABLE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. CAR HEAT IN COLD WEATHER IS VERY VERY SLOW BEFORE IT HEATS THE INTERIOR.
