THE PLASTIC SHIFT KNOB BUTTON POPPED OUT OF THE SHIFTER HANDLE WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN GEAR. I COULD NOT STOP THE ENGINE OR SHIFT GEARS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE PLASTIC BUTTON FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CAR WITH MY LEFT HAND AND INSERT IT LOOSLEY INTO THE SHIFTER HANDLE AND THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF.
Electrical system, Dec 28, 2018
THE HONDA CR-V 2017 TOURING MODEL HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL KEYLESS REMOTE TRANSMITTER ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. THE LAST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS ON DECEMBER 24, 2018 AT AROUND 5:00 PM AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP RUNNING. WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON REPEATEDLY WITH MY FOOT ON AND OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET TNE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WAS TO WALK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE TRANSMITTER AND HAVE THE PASSENGER PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE HONDA DEALER ON DECEMBER 26, 2018 AND THEY SAID - "NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME". THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE ENTIRE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT.

THE SHIFTER KNOB, HONDA PART NO. HONDA 54132TLAA62ZB, FELL OFF DURING USE. THIS LOCKS THE TRANSMISSION IN WHATEVER GEAR WAS LAST USED - A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE HERITAGE HONDA SERVICE ADVISOR TELLS ME THAT HONDA IS EXPERIENCING A LOT OF THESE FAILURES.

UPON SEEING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE IN THE CR-V'S AND CIVICS, I INSPECTED THE OIL IN MY 2017 HONDA CR-V ONLY 100 MILES AFTER IT WAS CHANGED BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. I PULLED OUT THE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE RECOMMENDED LIMIT AND IT WAS VERY DARK IN COLOR. I LEANED INTO THE ENGINE AND NOTICED A STRONG PRESENCE OF A GASOLINE SMELL. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE PRESENCE OF THIS SMELL BEFORE INSIDE OF THE CABIN BUT I THOUGHT IT COULD BE FROM SOMETHING ELSE. I AM CONVINCED IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

WHEN I GOT INTO CAR IN SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE AT WHICH TIME AND THE GEAR SHIFTER KNOB FELL OUT AND CRUMBLED INTO PIECES. NOT ABLE TO MOVE VEHICLE NOR PUT IN PARK. AFTER INSPECTING TEMPORARILY PUT PIECE IN WHICH ENABLED ME TO GET HOME. WHILE DRIVING FELT VERY UNSAFE NOT KNOWING IF IT WOULD REMAIN IN GEAR. ONCE HOME UNABLE TO PUT IN PARK. LUCKILY VEHICLE HAS BUTTON BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH ENABLED ME TO PUT BRAKES ON AND GET HUSBAND'S HELP. HE TEMPORARILY ENABLED VEHICLE INTO PARK AFTER WHICH VEHICLE ALTHOUGH IN PARK NEVER FULLY TURNED OFF. DUE TO CHRISTMAS COULD NOT GET TO DEALER TIL TODAY. BATTERY DEAD. CHARGED, TOOK TO DEALER REPLACED WITHOUT COMMENT. AFTER GOOGLING, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I PERSONALLY WAS VERY DISTRESSED. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUE. I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT SHOULD.

MY CAR HAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS ON THE DIP STICK AND IT IS OVER THE FULL MARK. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN MY CR-V TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR AT. THEY RECOGNIZE THE GAS SMELL AND OVER FULL MARK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHANGED THE OIL DECEMBER 12TH. 2018 TODAY IS DECEMBER 24TH 2018. I CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD AND ON A FLAT SURFACE AND THE DIP STICK SHOWS OVERFILL AND HAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS.

OIL DILUTION FROM FUEL
Engine, Dec 24, 2018
MY 2017 HONDA CRV HAS FUEL IN THE OIL, CONFIRMED BY DEALERSHIP. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY CONFIRMED IT HAD 2 QUARTS OF FUEL IN THE CRANKCASE OIL . THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD OVERHEAT AND LOCK UP AS I DRIVE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS ALSO LOWERS THE VALUE OF MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT! I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE . IT IS CURRENTLY A QUART HIGH ON DIPSTICK AND OIL SMELLS OF FUEL.
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 23, 2018

FUEL SMELL IN CABIN
Engine, Dec 21, 2018
HAD THE FIRST OIL CHANGED AT 5,658 MILES IN OCTOBER, 2018. MENTIONED THE FUEL IN OIL ISSUE WITH 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINES (PER CONSUMER REPORTS) TO SERVICE REP AT ANNAPOLIS HONDA. HE CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT. CHECKED MY OIL TODAY (12/21/18, 7,600 MILES), OIL LEVEL IS ELEVATED APPROX. 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE FILL LINE FROM OCTOBER WITH STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE OIL. HONDA CLAIMS TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS BUT WILL ONLY ROLL IT OUT IN NORTHERN TIER STATES IN THE US. PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD AND NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED NATIONALLY. POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND FIRE IF NOT FIXED
Other or unspecified, Dec 21, 2018
THE LOCKOUT BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER POPPED OFF, PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. THIS CAN OBVIOUSLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE DISABLED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2017-2018 HONDA CR-VS, BUT I COULDN'T FIND A RECALL FOR IT.
Power train, Dec 21, 2018
ONE OF THE BUTTONS ON THE SHIFT HANDLE BROKE APART. CAR COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO PARK OR REVERSE, ONLY INTO DRIVE1 AND DRIVE 2. ENGINE COULD BE TURNED OFF BUT NOT THE ACCESSORIES THEREBY CAUSING BATTERY FAILURE. CAR WAS BEING PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. TOWING COMPANY AND DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THIS HAS OCCURRED BEFORE.

IST OIL/FILTER CHANGE BY DEALER AT 4K MILES ALL APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. 2ND OIL/FILTER CHANGE BY DEALER AT 8K MILES OIL LEVEL WAS EXCESSIVELY HIGH OVER DIPSTICK MAX FILL MARK BY 1/2 INCH AND OIL DIPSTICK HAD INTENSE GASOLINE SMELL AND OIL VISCOSITY WAS EXTREMELY LOW. DEALER SAYS HONDA IS INVESTIGATING AN 'OIL DILUTION' ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE.

DEC 18, 2018, DEAR SIRS, I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON OCT 13, 2017. IN DECEMBER 2017 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO WARM UP, IF I TURNED THE HEATER ON THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD GO TO COMPLETELY COLD. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THESE CARS HAVE AN ENGINE PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE GETTING INTO THE OIL AND DILUTING IT. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS 1/4" ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE OIL WAS CHANGED IN JANUARY OF 2018 AT 4200 MILES, IT NOW HAS 7200 MILES ON IT. I WILL NOW TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AGAIN. THESE TWO PROBLEMS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT ARE RELATED IN THAT A COLD ENGINE WILL ALLOW MORE FUEL PAST THE PISTON RINGS UNTIL IT WARMS UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN DEC 2017 WHEN THE CAR HAD 700 MILES ON IT. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

THE SHIFTER LOCK BUTTON CAME OUT OF THE SHIFTER HANDLE. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 59500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I HAD JUST SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. I HAVE THE BUTTON TEMPORARILY HELD IN WITH A RUBBER BAND. I HAVE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT WITH THE HONDA DEALER FOR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2018. WHEN I WENT IN TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THEY ARE KEEPING THE PARTS IN STOCK.

MY 2017 HONDA CR-V HAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. ALSO, THE OIL LEVEL RISES ABOVE THE FULL MARK INDICATOR ON THE DIPSTICK. A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. ALSO, HEATER DOESN'T APPROPRIATELY HEAT UP THE CABIN. CONSEQUENTLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS FUEL ODOR PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RESULT OF GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT. THIS PROBLEM IS CALLED OIL DILUTION AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALSO, IT IS HAZARDOUS TO BE INHALING GASOLINE FINES COMING FROM THE VENTS. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE IT'S CAUSING TO THE ENGINE ITSELF. HONDA HASN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.
