ALARM WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY. CLICKING LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB DOES NOT TURN THE ALARM OFF. INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE DOOR WAS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE ALARM OFF. THE MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR. I TURNED MY CAR ON, BUT WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THERE WERE CLICKING NOISES, THE DASH FLICKERED REPEATEDLY, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF CLICKING THE PUSH START/STOP BUTTON TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. IT WAS TOWED TO HONDA (TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR ONTO THE BED BECAUSE ALL OF THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURES WERE RANDOMLY ACTIVATING) AND HONDA REPLACED SOME WIRING AND SAID I WAS GOOD TO. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN, SAME ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN IT OFF, AND THE SAME KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WAS ON THE DASH. I STARTED THE CAR, THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT INTO THE HOUSE, AND THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN 15 MINUTES LATER. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND WILL TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TOMORROW. NOTE, WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, THE ELECTRICITY TURNED BACK ON IN THE CAR BY ITSELF. I NOW SUSPECT THE ELECTRICITY IS TURNING ON BY ITSELF AND AFTER SITTING IDLE FOR A WHILE THE ALARM ACTIVATES.

I FOUND 2017-2018 CR-V ENGINE HAS PROBLEM WHICH ENGINE OIL MIXES WITH GASOLINE. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND IT IS REALLY INCREASED AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE WITH ENGINE OIL.

AT 6,000 MILES ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING OIL DILUTION. OIL IS ABOVE MAX LEVEL ON DIPSTICK AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS, VEHICLE WAS COLD AND STATIONARY WHEN OIL LEVEL WAS CHECKED. CALLED A NEARBY HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE) 1,000 MILES AGO. AN AUTOMOBILE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN OIL CHANGE AFTER 1,000 MILES OF USE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLY WOOD HONDA (1909 W HILLSBORO ST, EL DORADO, AR 71730, (870) 863-5400) WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURER UPDATED THE COMPUTER AGAIN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR A THIRD TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. ALSO, WHILE INSPECTING THE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED IT WAS OVERFILLED AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300. *JS

THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE DEVELOPS HIGH OIL LEVEL READINGS DUE TO FUEL CONTAMINATION. I HAD SEVERAL (12) SYSTEM FAILURE NOTICES APPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY "FOUND THAT OIL LEVEL WAS OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". ALSO NOTICED THAT IN COLD WEATHER, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT DEFROSTER IS NOT WARM ENOUGH AND CAN'T KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR RESULTING IN POOR OR NO VISIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP. DOES NOT WARM UP AT IDLE. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP WHILE IN MOTION. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO GET THE ENGINE UP TO A PROPER TEMPERATURE IS TO TURN OFF ECON MODE, DRIVE IN SPORT MODE AND DO NOT TURN HEATER ON.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 21, 2018
AT 15,000 MILES, I HAVE FOUND THAT GASOLINE IS CONTAMINATING THE CRANKCASE OIL EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE OR DRIVE VERY SHORT DISTANCES. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX AND HAS RECEIVED NO GUIDANCE FROM HONDA.

AFTER I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, STOPPED THE VEHICLE, AND PUT IT INTO PARK, I RELEASED THE SHIFTER INTERLOCK BUTTON AND IT POPPED OUT AND LANDED ON THE FLOOR. FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS I THOUGHT THE BUTTON HAD MORE PLAY IN IT WHEN, BUT FIGURED THAT I WAS IMAGINING IT BECAUSE WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH A BUTTON ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND THEY ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER AND TELL ME TO STOP DRIVING IT SINCE NOT BEING TO SHIFT A VEHICLE INTO PARK (IF THE BUTTON WERE TO FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING) SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE.
Power train, Oct 20, 2018
THE PLASTIC DETENT BUTTON ON THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR BROKE. IT IS SPRING LOADED AND WHEN IT BROKE THE BUTTON SHOT OUT ONTO THE FLOOR BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL (FROM DRIVE) IN THIS CONDITION, YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE OR PARK MAKING THIS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THIS WAS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 CRV. THE PART WAS REPLACED FOR FREE BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BREAK AGAIN. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I CHANGED FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

MY CAR HAS ABOUT 8800 MILES. HAD THE ENGINE OIL FIRST CHANGED AT 6100 MILES. SINCE THEN, THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL KEEPS RISING DURING NORMAL USE. THE OIL LEVEL IS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE FULL LINE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG, AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD PROBLEMS. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THEY STATED THE FOLLOWING: "OIL CONSISTENCY WAS LIKE WATER AND SMELLS OF GAS. OIL REGISTERED OVERFILLED. OIL IS ALSO LEAKING FROM REAR MAIN SEAL AREA. RECOMMEND HAVING THIS CHECKED BY HONDA." IF YOU LOOK ONLINE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT OIL DILUTION IN THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. CONSUMER REPORTS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF OIL DILUTION, SOME ENGINES HAVE BEEN STALLING WHILE ON THE ROAD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A QUALITY ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE LONG RUN.
Engine, Oct 19, 2018
OUR CRV IS ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL. WE HAVE THREE EVIDENCES OF THIS: 1) THE OIL LEVEL IS MUCH TOO HIGH; 2) THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS; 3) THE ENGINE FROM TIME TO TIME HAS NOT RUN OR IDLED PROPERLY, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY STALLING. YESTERDAY I TOOK THE CAR IN TO OUR DEALER AND REQUESTED AN OIL CHANGE UNDER WARRANTY AS WE VIEW THIS AS A DEFECT, AND HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THIS. THE DEALER GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO A ONE-TIME FREE OIL CHANGE AS A COURTESY, BUT I FEEL HONDA SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS. NO MATTER WHAT THEIR EXPERTS SAY, GASOLINE IN THE OIL CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE! WE ARE TOLD THAT A FIX IS IN THE WORKS, BUT HONDA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THE PROBLEM!
