I OWN A 2017 HONDA CR-V 1.5 TURBO FWD AND MY VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM THE AFFECTS OF 'OIL DILUTION.' I REGULARLY HAVE MY OIL CHANGED BY HONDA, BUT I NOTICED, UPON RETURNING FROM A LONG TRIP IN NORTHERN INIDIANA OVER WINTER, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN CHECKING MY OIL-DIPSTICK AND THE VOLUME WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO HONDA, I WAS ADVISED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM FOR ALL 2017-2018 CR-V 1.5 TURBOS WITH RESIDUAL GAS DRIPPING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND EVENTUALLY THE OIL CRANK-CASE, CALLED 'OIL DILUTION'. I ASKED THE HONDA TECHNICIAN TO CHECK FOR GASOLINE IN MY OIL, BUT THEY SAID NO SUCH TEST WAS AVAILABLE. HE ADVISED ME THAT NO FIX CURRENTLY EXISTS, ASIDE FROM MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. I THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH THE LEAD TECHNICIAN AT MY DEALER TO RESOLVE THE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT I WAS VERBALLY TOLD THAT HONDA DOES NOT INTEND TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNLESS LITIGATION IS MANDATED. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM POSSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THESE VEHICLES AGE AND THE RISK OF ENGINE SEIZURE OR EXPLOSION INCREASE. HONDA NORTH AMERICA'S POSITION IS THAT SINCE THERE ARE SO FEW 2017 CR-VS WITH TURBO ON THE ROAD, THEY DO NOT SEE A REASON TO ACT. THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH THIS HONDA TURBO FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, WHICH WAS FIXED FOR THE 2019 MODELS. A SOFTWARE PATCH IS BEING ISSUED BY HONDA CANADA, BUT THIS IS NOT OFFERED IN SOUTHERN STATES AND HONDA REFUSES TO COMMENT ON THE LONG TERM IMPACT AND DEGRADED PERFORMANCE. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FELLOW DRIVERS.

OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. GAS GETTING INTO OIL. HONDA "FIX" DID NOT WORK; SAME ISSUE 300 MILES AFTER FIX APPLIED. ENGINE IDLING ROUGH (ESPECIALLY DURING FIRST START AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT), OIL LEVEL RISING IN CAR, WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL IT SMELLS LIKE GAS, FUEL SMELL IN CABIN PERIODICALLY, ENGINE HESITATING/STALLING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. HAVE VISITED DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHIN 30 DAYS FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Apr 13, 2019
CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY WHEN ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON, NO SYSTEMS WORK ACCORDING TO THE DASHBOARD. WHEN DASH LIGHTS WITH EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, ALL POWER AND ACCELERATION IS LOST. THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN AN INTERSECTION THE OTHER DAY AND LUCKILY THE CRV WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CRV WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS WITH OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. VTM-4 POPS UP ON THE RADIO SCREEN AS A PROBLEM. HONDA CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE ON THE 2019 MODELS YET NO RECALL ON 2017 AND 2018 MODELS? THIS LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS ESPECIALLY SCARY SINCE I HAVE 2 YOUNG KIDS THAT RIGHT WITH ME DAILY. CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK, REMOTE START HASN'T WORKED SINCE THIS ISSUE STARTED AROUND 60-70K MILES. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM!

SMELL OF GAS IN THE GARAGE AFTER LEAVING WINDOWS DOWN. THEN LATER NOTICED IT AGAIN IN THE CABIN 2-3 DIFFERENT TIMES WHICH MY SON WAS VISITING AT THE TIME AND SMELLED IT IN THE GARAGE AGAIN. HE CHECKED THE OIL AND WE COULD SMELL GAS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP ON 1-8-19 WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND MECHANIC COULDN'T SMELL GAS ON DIP STICK WHICH I GOT THE MANAGER INVOLVED AND HE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS MORE SO IN THE NORTHERN STATES WERE IT'S COLD. HE TOO SAID HE COULDN'T SMELL GAS BUT CHANGED MY OIL ( WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN CHANGED RECENTLY)..WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS OIL LIGHT CAME ON OR STARTED HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS OR TILL A RECALL COMES HERE. I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE SMELL SINCE WARMER WEATHER HAS COME IN. LOVE THE CAR BUT SCARY WHEN IT COMES TO GAS AND THE ENGINE WHICH "AGAIN" WAS ASSURED WASN'T A DANGER TO ME.

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 11, 2019
I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE PLACE SAID THAT THE OIL SMELLED LIKE FUEL, WAS VERY THIN. IN CONSUMER REPORTS THERE WAS A BLURB ABOUT THE HONDA CR-VS WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE EXPERIENCING THE MIXING OF GAS IN THE OIL BUT MAINLY IN THE COLDER, NORTHERN STATES. SO, WHEN THE OIL CHANGE PEOPLE SAID THE OIL SMELLED LIKE GAS, I THEN DROVE TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT, BUT SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE GAS IN THE OIL, BUT I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED SO OF COURSE THERE WASN'T SIGNS OF IT. SO, BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE I WILL TAKE IT TO HONDA SO THEY CAN SEE IT.

SHIFT KNOB ON STICK TO SET CAR TO PARK, DRIVE, OR REVERSE BROKE. IT DOES NOT STAY IN SLOT. THIS CAUSED AN ISSUE WHEN I TRIED TO PUT CAR INTO PARK AND REALIZED THE BUTTON POPPED OUT. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, FIND THE BUTTON AND PUSH IN, BUT STILL A DANGER.
Service brakes, Apr 10, 2019
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO ON THE WEEKEND WHEN THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE BRAKES TO BE ACTIVATED. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 40 MPH , THERE WAS A WALL ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD( ABOUT 2 METER HEIGHT), ANYHOW, THE BRAKES SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED --SIMILARLY A YEAR AGO IN 208 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM , BRAKES GOES OFF BY ITESLEF WITHOUT ANY NEED FOR IT...THIS IS DANGEROUS AS SOMEONE COULD HAVE HIT ME FROM THE BACK.

SHIFTER CONTROL BUTTON POPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS AS REASSEMBLING THE CONTROLLER/ SHIFTER CAN BE DANGEROUS. HONDA USA ( CATHERINE) REPORTED THIS IS NOT A HONDA ISSUE. AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE TOWING.
Electrical system, Apr 9, 2019
IF I STOP USING THE CR-V FOR TWO DAYS THE BATTERY GOES DEAD AND I HAVE TO RECHARGE IT. THE ORIGINAL BATTERY WAS REPLACED AFTER THE FIRST YEAR IN THE HONDA DEALER. IF I WANT TO USED THE OTHER CAR I NEED TO TURN ON THE CR-V EVERY DAY SO THE BATTERY DOES NOT LOOSE CHARGE.

VERY STRONG CONTINUOUS SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR COMING FROM THE FRONT ENGINE AREA OF THE CAR WHEN STARTING IT AND THE SMELL CIRCULATES IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING IT. ALSO SMELL GAS FROM THE CAR FOR A LONG WHILE, AFTER PARKING IT IN MY ENCLOSED GARAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH, SAFETY AND EVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. THE SMELL MAKES ME NAUSEOUS. JUST BOUGHT THIS 2017 HONDA CRV THREE MONTHS AGO, TOOK THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER, HE SAID THEHONDA FACTORY DOESN'T HAVE ANY FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE. UNTRUE PER DATA FOUND ONLINE WHICH STATES THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF PER A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES IN CANADA AND FOR SOME STATES BUT NOT YET IN ALL USA STATES, INCLUDING MY STATE. I HOPE THIS VEHICLE IS RECALLED AND THE ISSUE FIXED VERY SOON FOR OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY.

THE LEVEL OF THE FLUID ON THE OIL DIPSTICK WILL INCREASE AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. AND UPON REMOVING IT SMELLS OF GASOLINE. 2000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK WILL READ 1/2' HIGHER THAN NORMAL. WHICH TELLS ME GAS IS SOMEHOW ENTERING THE CRANKCASE AND DILUTING THE OIL.

ON EARLY OCT 2017, AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED (SLAMMED) FOR NO APPARENT REASONS AT 45 MPH. NO CARS WERE IN FRONT AND LUCKILY NONE WAS BEHIND. HAPPENED ON MID DAY, CLEAR AND SUNNY DAY. THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT BRAKE WARNING ACTIVATED WHILE NO PENDING TRAFFIC. WENT TO DEALER TO CHECKUP AND WAS TOLD "NEVER HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES WITH THIS BRAKE ISSUES". IT TOTALLY DID NOT MAKE SENSE THAT THE ADVISER RECOMMENDED TURNING OFF BRAKE SENSING FEATURE!? ON A SEPARATE ISSUE, FRONT ADAPTIVE SHUTTER MALFUNCTION WHILE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER. SYSTEM RESET ITSELF AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD SHUTOFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND FOUND NO FAULTY PROBLEMS.

MY VEHICLE'S WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON FOR ALL FEATURES, INCLUDING LANE ASSIST, STABILITY, COLLISION MITIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING AND MANY OTHERS. THESE FEATURES ARE CURRENTLY NOT WORKING. THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED WAS IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS THREE TIMES. THE THIRD TIME, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A FUEL VALVE -- PART OF A HONDA "CAMPAIGN," WHATEVER THAT MEANS -- AND THAT REPLACING/REPAIRING THE ISSUE COULD TAKE UP TO 60 DAYS. I WAS DISMISSED FROM THE DEALER AND TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WOULD NOT MAKE MY CAR STOP WORKING, AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN A PART ARRIVED. MEANWHILE, MY CAR IS IDLING ROUGH AND I SMELL GAS UPON STARTING IT.
Other or unspecified, Apr 3, 2019
GEAR SHIFT BUTTON (YOU DEPRESS THIS TO SHIFT GEARS) POPPED OFF, NO WARNING, FOR NO REASON. I WAS SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, WHEN I RELEASED THE BUTTON, IT FLEW OFF. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO FIND THE BUTTON AND STICK IT BACK IN. IT IS NOW LOOSE AND WILL NOT STAY ON/IN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF A CAR IS MOVING AND IT POPS OFF...

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DASH DISPLAY. THE DISPLAY, INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN I START IT, SEE IMAGE 1, DOES NOT SHOW THE DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISPLAY. THE CAR STARTS, THE MESSAGES ABOUT BRAKE IS ON, AND MITIGIATION BEING ON, SHOW UP, AND THEN THE CENTER OF DISPLAY BLACKS OUT. SOMETIMES, IT STAYS ON, AND THEN WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE, IT DISAPPEARS. SEE IMAGE 2, THAT IS AFTER I RESTARTED IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE I HAVE FURTHER TESTED THIS. IF I START THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE OFF, THEN THE DISPLAY SEEMS TO COME UP (I START CAR, WITH BRAKE ON, IN GARAGE, DISPLSY DOES NOT COME UP, I RELEASE BRAKE, THEN SHUT DOWN THE CAR. I THEN RESTART IT, BRAKE IS STILL OFF, AND THEN THE GAS MILLEAGE DISPLAY COMES ON, THEN NOTIFICATION ABOUT ROAD MITIGATION; THEN ROAD MITIGATION DISAPPEARS, AND THE MILEAGE AND FUEL DISPLAY REMAINS ON) MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS REFLECTS OTHER SMOLDERING COMPUTER ISSUES THAT COULD AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA IN LATE 2018, BUT ALL THEY SUGGESTED WAS TAKING THIS TO A REPAIR SHOP TO LET THEM LOOK AT IT. BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A MY CAR ISSUES, THIS IS A BROADER COMPUTER ISSUE. THEN, THEY ISSUED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THE GAS-IN-OIL ISSUE, AND THE DISPLAY ISSUE SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IT HAS RECURRED. THIS TIME IT SEEMED TO START AFTER I HAD CONNECTED A PHONE TO THE ANDROID SYSTEM THROUGH THE SMART CABLE, BUT AFTER DISCONNECTING THE PHONE, THE ISSUE PERSISTS. *DT*JB
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 2, 2019
I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE HONDA 1.5L OIL-FUEL PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED BACK IN LATE 2017. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL I TALKED WITH TWO OTHER CO-WORKERS WHO ALSO HAVE 2017 HONDA CR-VS. FIRST, MY ENGINE PERFORMANCE SLOWLY DROPS AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE, THEN PICKS BACK UP AGAIN ONCE I HAVE GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE. SECOND, THIS WAS MY FIRST WINTER WITH MY CR-V AND I NOTICED THAT IT HAS A VERY HARD TIME ACCELERATING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS EVEN AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE WARM UP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. LASTLY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAYS THAT MY OIL LEVEL IS AT A CERTAIN %, FOR INSTANCE IT SAYS THAT I AM AT 20% RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK, I SEE OIL WELL ABOVE THE "FULL" LINE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I LIVE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR VEHICLES IN MY STATE.
Engine, Apr 1, 2019
CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL IT WAS ABOVE THE MAX LEVEL. THE OIL INDICATOR SAYS WE HAVE 10% OIL LIFE. AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. THEY GAVE US A SPEECH THAT IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE GAS THAT LEAKS TO THE OIL AND IT WILL EVAPORATE. OUR OTHER CARS DOESN'T. IT HASN'T AFFECTED THE CAR YET BUT JUST CONCERN THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING.

THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB POPPED OUT OF THE SHIFTER WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE AND I COULDN'T TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK TO FIND IT OR I WOULD HAVE HIT SOMETHING. LUCKILY I FOUND IT AND SHOVED IT BACK IN TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO PARK BUT IT STILL REGULARLY POPS OUT LEAVING THE SHIFTER STUCK IN GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH THE SILVER BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT SPONTANEOUSLY BROKE OFF THE HANDLE USED TO SHIFT BETWEEN PARK, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE. NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THE SHIFTER AT THAT TIME. THIS WAS A VERY DISTRACTING EVENT -- I SUDDENLY SAW THE BROKEN BUTTON. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS "GOING ON" DISTRACTED ME FROM LOOKING AT THE ROAD, WITH THE ASSOCIATED RISK OF LOOSING "SITUATIONAL AWARENESS". I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT I RAPIDLY REFOCUSED ON THE ROAD AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE PERSON IN THE FRONT-PASSENGER SEAT FIGURED OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I TALKED TO 2 DEALERS AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS WITH SEVERAL OTHER CRVS. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND THE DEALER FEEDBACK, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT IMPACTS MULTIPLE CARS; THE DISTRACTION CREATED WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY CAN RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING INTO A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT IF THIS DEFECT IS NOT PROACTIVELY ADDRESSED. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA AMERICA. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL REPORT IT TO HONDA, BUT MADE NO COMMITMENT TO ADDRESSING IT OR GETTING BACK TO ME ON THEIR DECISION. A PROACTIVE RECALL AND REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

THE SHIFT GEAR/SHAFT BUTTON FELL APART/BROKE OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS RENDERED THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AS YOU CANNOT SHIFT GEARS. I WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE A SAFE SOLUTION WHILE DIVING. AFTER TALKING WITH OTHERS APPARENTLY THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS HAPPENING TO CRV OWNERS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEIR REPLY WAS THAT IF IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND OR SERIOUS INJURIES.
