GAS SMELL IN CABIN OF CAR ON AND OFF FOR 3 MONTHS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR CHECK. SERVICE REPORTED GAS IN OIL. HONDA AWARE OF PROBLEM . OIL CHANGE DONE AS PER HONDA RECOMMENDATION. NO SOLUTION TO GAS CONTAMINATING OIL IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. GAS SMELL WAS PRESENT SOMETIMES WHILE RUNNING OTHER TIMES PRESENT ON ENTERING PARKED CAR.

BOUGHT THIS 2017 CRV EXL-NAV AWD IN 05/2017. WE DID THE FIRST MAINTENANCE ON MARCH 17 TO CHANCE OIL IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THERE IS OIL LEAKAGE. THEY SCHEDULED A ANOTHER DAY TO FIX IT BY ADDING SOME SILICA GLUE UNDER WARRANTY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE A NEW CAR WITHIN 1 YEAR AND 8000 MILES HAS OIL LEAKING ISSUE. RELIABILITY IS THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT HONDA, NOW I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.

I BOUGHT THIS 2017 CRV EXL-NAV AWD IN 05/2017. WE DID THE FIRST MAINTENANCE ON MARCH 17 TO CHANCE OIL AT 8000 MILES. THERE IS OIL LEAKAGE, I WILL TALK THIS ON ANOTHER COMPLAINT. I HEARD THAT THERE IS OIL EXCESSIVE PROBLEM ON THIS 1.5T ENGINE, SO I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AT ABOUT 8800 MILES AND FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS MORE THAN 10MM HIGHER THAN THE MAXIMUM MARK ON THE LIPSTICK. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS FINE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THEIR ANSWER. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PHOTO, THE OIL LEVEL IS EXCEEDING THE ORANGE PLASTIC TO THE METAL PART. ACTUALLY CRV HAS BEEN STOPPED FOR SALE IN CHINA FOR 2 MONTHS UNTIL HONDA INITIATE A RECALL AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS. RELIABILITY IS THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT HONDA, NOW I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY HONDA UNLESS THEY OFFER A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME BACK FOR REPAIRS AT THE DEALERS. MY PREVIOUS COMPLAIN WAS #11047836 WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED BY INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 2 WEEKS OLD ON 10/17/2017. ON 5/14/2018 WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH A VERY NOISY SOUND WHILE DRIVING.. BOTH ON STREET AND HIGHWAY AT MODERATE AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE BEARINGS ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT WHEELS AND THE INTERMEDIATE BEARINGS TO THE FLY WHEEL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD,

THE DISPLAY IN THE MIDDLE GOES BLANK WHILE I AM DRIVING A LOT. LAST TIME I WAS BACKING OUT WHEN IT DID WHICH CAUSE MY CAR TO HAVE SERIOUS SCRATCHES ON IT. AT THE SAME TIME THE BACK UP SEEMED NOT TO BE WORKING EITHER. MY SON MADE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING ONE TIME WHEN HE IS IN THE CAR. ALSO THE RADIO IS LOCK AND DOES NOT DISPLAY WHAT IS PLAYING LIKE IT USE TOO. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I AM SWITCHING LANE WITH MY BLINKER ON THE CAR WILL NOT LET ME DO IT AND ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN EVEN IF THERE IS NOT OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD. I HAD A 2012 HONDA CRV THAT MY SON DRIVE AND NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEM. MY 2017 CRV TOURING IS BY FAR NOT AS WELL MADE SINCE I HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, May 5, 2018
MY NEW 2017 HONDA CRV EX THAT ONLY HAS 6850 MILES DRIVEN ON IT HAS A TERRIBLE DEFECT WITH OIL DILUTION ISSUES DUE TO FUEL LEAKING INTO THE OIL PANS CAUSING OVERFLOW AND DILUTION TO THE OIL THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LUBRICATING THE ENGINE. THE OIL SMELLS VERY POTENT OF FUEL AND ALMOST 1 QUART OF EXTRA FLUID WAS DRAINED FROM THE OIL PAN WHEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AFTER REPORTING THE ISSUE. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH FUEL DILUTING INTO THE OIL BUT WERE TOLD BY THE HONDA CORPORATE TECH LINE THAT THEY WERE TO JUST REPLACE THE OIL UNTIL A FIX COMES OUT. THE DEALER TECHNICIANS ASKED ABOUT CHANGING THE FUEL INJECTORS OR MAYBE A CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT BUT WERE TOLD NOT TO DO ANYTHING. IT IS NOT SAFE TO RELEASE THESE CARS BACK TO THE OWNER KNOWING THERE IS AN DEFECT ISSUE THAT THEY DIDN'T EVEN REALLY ATTEMPT TO FIX THAT IS CAUSING INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS TO BREAK DOWN FASTER THAN NORMAL AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO EVENTUAL BREAKDOWNS LEADING TO WRECKS. THE COMPANIES "FIX" IS TO GO IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 500-1000 MILES EVEN THOUGH EXCESSIVE FUEL IS STILL MIXING WITH THE OIL. HONDA HAS REPORTED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN COLDER CLIMATES, BUT I AM STILL HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS IN TENNESSEE WEATHER.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE TAILGATE TO STORE MY GOODS. I BEGAN TO CLOSE THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE WAS BEING CLOSED BY THE REAR SWITCH AND THE LEFT EDGE HIT MY HEAD. IT CONTINUED CLOSING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE REVERSING AND RE-OPENING. IT RESULTED IN A LACERATION AND BLEEDING THAT REQUIRED FIRST-AID.

I HAVE FUEL IN MY OIL AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INVOLVING THE 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V AND CIVIC VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING FUEL CONTAMINATION OF THE ENGINE OIL THAT COULD RESULT THE FAILURE OF ENGINE BEARING AND OTHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS. THIS MAY RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE OR STALLING WHILE DRIVING. JAPAN'S HONDA TO RECALL 350,000 OVER THIS ENGINE ISSUE. MIGLIACCIO & RATHOD LLP IS INVESTIGATING POTENTIAL CLAIMS OF FUEL DILUTION AND BUILDUP IN THE ENGINE OIL OF 2017-2018 HONDA CR-V AND CIVIC VEHICLES WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, UN-COMBUSTED GASOLINE ACCUMULATES IN THE LUBRICANT OIL PAN AND EVAPORATES UNDER HEAT FROM THE ENGINE, THAT THEN ENDS UP BACK IN THE ENGINE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AS FUEL. IN COLD TEMPERATURES, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE MAY NOT WARM UP ENOUGH TO EVAPORATE THE UN-COMBUSTED GASOLINE. HONDA OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT THIS LEADS TO GASOLINE DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL WHICH MANIFESTS IN A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN, IN THE SHORT TERM, AND GASOLINE IN THE OIL THAT MAY LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE IN THE LONG TERM. SOME DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THE CAR'S CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT HAS SWITCHED ON AS RESULT. HONDA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL IN CHINA FOR THE SAME 2017-2018 CR-V'S AND CIVICS, BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL HERE IN THE US.

THE DISPLAY IN MY 2017 HONDA CR V EX WILL START BEEPING AT RANDOM AND THE BRIGHTNESS WILL START GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, BUT I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT DON'T HAVE A FIX. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE STATIONARY.
Exterior lighting, Apr 27, 2018
MY NEW HONDA CR-V 2017 HAS A SAFETY DEFECT. THE HEADLIGHTS FOG UP WHEN IT RAINS OR AFTER I WASH THE CAR. CONDENSATION IS FORMED INSIDE THE GLASS HEADLIGHTS MAKING VISIBILITY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON CLOUDY DAYS OR AFTER SUN SET, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHILE DRIVING ON A RAINY DAY. I OBVIOUSLY CAN'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE I'M DRIVING, BUT I'VE PROVIDED A FEW PICTURES OF MY PROBLEM. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO COGGIN HONDA HERE IN ORLANDO, WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID NOT HELP.
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 25, 2018
STRONG FUEL SMELL (MIX OF GAS AND OIL) COMING FROM ENGINE SINCE WE PURCHASED VEHICLE. IT'S BEEN INTO CERTIFIED DEALER FOR INSPECTIONS AND MINOR TWEAKS FOUR TIMES ALREADY AND HONDA IS UNABLE TO REPAIR IT AS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS OPEN AND PARK CAR OUTSIDE OF OUR GARAGE DUE TO THE FUMES. I'M NOW GETTING HEADACHES FROM LONGER DRIVES.

FIVE TIMES THE BATTERY DRAINED COMPLETELY WITH NOTHING ON, AFTER SITTING UNUSED, GARAGED, OVER NIGHT OR AFTER ONE DAY UNUSED. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE FOURTH INCIDENT, THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE FIFTH INCIDENT, ONE WEEK LATER, THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CLAIMED ONLY A .002 MILIAMP DRAW.

BATTERY CHECKED AND TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS FINE 6 DAYS LATER BATTERY DEAD HAD HONDA SERVICE TOW CAR TO DEALER. HAD FOUND HONDA TSB 17-032 ONLINE DESCRIBING A BATTERY DRAIN FROM VSA MODULATOR. MADE COPY FOR DEALER BECAUSE THEY WERE 'UNAWARE OF PROBLEM' ASKED THEM TO FOLLOW THE TSB SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE WHICH THEY DID BUT WHEN THEY TESTED BATTERY THERE WAS STILL A DRAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND INFORMED ME I NEED TO DRIVE CAR EVERDAY TO KEEP IT CHARGED, THIS IS OUR SECOND CAR AND IS NOT DRIVEN EVERYDAY AND WE TRAVEL WHICH MEANS THE CAR MAY NOT BE DRIVEN FOR 10 DAYS OR MORE THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT WE NEED TO ACQUIRE A BATTERY CHARGER BECAUSE MOST LIKELY THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. IT SEEMS THAT THE 2017 CRV HAS AN ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. IT PULLS ON THE BATTERY EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF. IS HONDA GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I GET IN THE CAR I WONDER IF THE CAR WILL START AND THIS AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 540 MILES ON IT.
Service brakes, Apr 20, 2018
THE ANTI-COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM INCORRECTLY ENGAGED WHEN APPROACHING A FLAT METAL PLATE IN THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT APPROX. 5-10 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED BEEPING, AND FLASHING THE "BRAKE" WARNING ALERT ON THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD CONSOLE. I WAS DRIVING AND, NOT SEEING ANY PEOPLE OR APPROACHING VEHICLES OR ANYTHING ELSE AHEAD OF ME, DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING WAS FLASHING A WARNING. BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO "GENTLY" BRAKE TO SEE WHAT THE SITUATION WAS, SUDDENLY THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM "VIOLENTLY" ENGAGED, BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP JUST BEFORE THE METAL PLATE. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH OF THE METAL PLATE THAT I TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE WHEN GOING BACK OVER THE PLATE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MARCH 25, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45 PM ARIZONA TIME. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. NO SERVICE MANAGER WAS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK WITH ME, AND THE RECEPTIONIST SAID THAT SHE WOULD LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH ONE OF THEM. I HAVE YET TO BE CALLED BACK, 4 WEEKS LATER. I WANT THE HONDA DEALER TO READ THE CODES FROM THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM(S) TO 1) VERIFY THAT THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED, AND 2) SEE IF THERE IS ANY SUPPORTING DATA FOR WHY THE SYSTEM INCORRECTLY ENGAGED. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WANT TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO THE NHTSA. DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH TURNED UP SEVERAL OTHER PUBLIC REPORTS ON WEBSITES OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS. A FALSE POSITIVE FOR AN IMPENDING COLLISION WAS DETERMINED BY THE VEHICLE'S "SMART SYSTEM" ALGORITHMS, WHICH THEN TRIGGERED A PHYSICAL REACTION (AUTOMATIC INVOLUNTARY BRAKING). FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ONLY 5-10 MPH, RATHER THAN 45 MPH ON A CITY ROAD OR 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY.
Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Apr 18, 2018
DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED. SUDDENLY VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY HESITATE AND THEN SLOWS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE (MORE THAN 10 MPH). INDICATORS READ THAT ALL SYSTEMS HAVE FAILED. PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE DOWN. WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR TOWING TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT HONDA STATED IT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN COLD WEATHER (I LIVE AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NORTHERN WI - LAME EXCUSE. WHEY SELL THEM HERE IF THEY DON'T WORK IN THE COLD). THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND VARIOUS OTHER ENGINE PARTS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE SATELLITE RADIO RECEIVER REPLACED (IT BURNT OUT). THERE WAS FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. ALL THIS WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON THE 2017 HONDA CR-V. NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE. IT RUNS NOW, BUT THE ENGINE IS MUCH LOUDER WITH A NOTICABLE CLICKING NOISE THAT WASN'T THERE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS PLANNING A MAIDEN VOYAGE FROM WI TO SEATTLE, WA (TO VISIT ELDERLY MOTHER WHO LIVES THERE) BUT LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE'S RELIABILITY. WHAT IS MY FIX FOR THIS? DEALERSHIP BALKED AT THE SUGGESTION OF REPLACING THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER ONE. OVERALL, I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE AN AUTOMOBILE COMPLETELY FAIL IN TRAFFIC. LIMPING OFF THE ROADWAY AT A MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SPEED OF 10 MPH IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER AND THE MAKINGS FOR POSSIBLE FATAL CONSEQUENCES. HONDA SHOULD BE LOOKING SERIOUSLY INTO THIS ISSUE AND NOT MAKING LAME EXCUSES LIKE THIS HAPPENS TO THE CR-V IN COLD WEATHER ([XXX]). THEY SHOULD ALSO BE PROVIDING COMPENSATION TO OWNERS WHO PURCHASED THESE LEMONS IN GOOD FAITH EXPECTING THE DEPENDABILITY OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, PAYING (IN MY CASE) AT LEAST $29,000.00 FOR THAT EXPECTATION AND NOT ENDING UP WITH SOMETHING THAT DUMPS FUEL INTO THE ENGINE OIL AND THREATENS THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY (3) PASSENGERS AT THE TIME PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
