OIL IS BEING DILUTED WITH GASOLINE.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 17, 2018
OIL DILUTION DIAGNOSED BY DEALER AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS, NO HEAT IN COLD WEATHER, DISPLAYS AND AUDIOS GOING HAYWIRE WHILE DRIVING, STALLED 6 TIMES WHILE BACKING UP ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SAFETY FEATURES NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING I.E. ALERTING THAT A CAR IS NEXT TO YOU WHILE DRIVING CITY AND COUNTRY, NO ALERT OR DRIVER ASSIST SAFETY FEATURE WHEN A CAR PULLED OUT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME CROSSING TRAFFIC WHEN ANTILOCK BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AND GOT STOPPED WITHIN 3 FEET OF OTHER VEHICLE, CAR LOCKED ME INSIDE AFTER DRIVING TO WORK.....I HAVE AVAILABLE VIDEOS OF MANY OF THESE ISSUES AVAILABLE AND THEY'VE BEEN FORWARDED TO HONDA CASE #08447969 AND THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO FINALLY HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALER DIAGNOSING THE OIL DILUTION. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AND BRING IT IN EVERY TIME THE DIP STICK GOES ABOVE THE FILL LINE. NO OTHER ISSUES WERE ADDRESSED AND SHOW AS UNDIAGNOSED

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 13 DAYS DURING A TRAVEL TRIP. THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND WAS STARTED WITH A JUMP. NO LIGHTS, ACT WERE LEFT ON DURING THIS PERIOD.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Apr 13, 2018
WAS DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN ABS, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEPING ASSIST, AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING, AND BREAKING SYSTEM "PROBLEM" LIGHTS LIT UP ALL AT ONCE. LIMPED THE CAR HOME.
Engine, Apr 12, 2018
VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN 8/17 AND HAS 8900 MILES. TOURING TRIM WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE AND AWD. OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED WELL ABOVE FULL MARK AFTER BOTH OF TWO OIL CHANGES DONE SINCE PURCHASED AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF FUEL. LAST OIL CHANGE WAS DONE JUST 375 MILES BACK. DEALER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON RECORD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO INADEQUATE LUBRICATION / POSSIBLE COLLISION DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOWUP WITH DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND DOCUMENT ACTIONS TAKEN IN ORDER TO SUPPORT ANY FUTURE LEGAL ACTION TO REMEDY THIS SERIOUS DEFECT.
Engine, Apr 11, 2018
THE NEW GENERATION OF CRV VEHICLES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM REGARDING OIL DILUTION WITH FUEL AND OTHER LIQUIDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN RESULT IN PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AS WELL AS OTHER PROBLEMS. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE OUR OIL EVERY 500 MILES JUST TO MAKE SURE IT ISN'T TOO HIGH. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, YET THEY ARE SLACKING ON FINDING A FIX. THIS PROBLEM MAY POTENTIALLY BE AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. CHINA ALREADY HALTED SALES OF CRVS UNTIL THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM. DEAR HONDA, FIX THIS PROBLEM! THE LONGER YOU SLACK, THE MORE CUSTOMERS (LIKE ME) YOU WILL LOSE IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU VALUE YOUR REPUTATION AS A RELIABLE CAR MAKER, THEN DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED.
Air bags, Apr 8, 2018
THE DRIVER'S SEAT SIDE AIR BAG LOOKS LIKE IT DEPLOYED OR OR WAS DEFLATED OR MALFUNCTION WITH NO ACTION TAKEN WHEN WE NOTICED AS WE GOT INTO THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. THE SEAT WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEFLATED OR DEFORMED OR SOMETHING. MY WIFE WAS KNOWS IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE NOTICED AS DID IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE SAT DOWN.
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 4, 2018
THE OIL IN THE CRV IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE WHICH WAS DISCOVERED ON THE FIRST OIL CHANGE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. THE VOLUME DRAINED SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDED THE NORMAL FULL OIL CAPACITIES. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHICH WAS SERVICED ON 2/19/18. THE DEALER CHANGED THE OIL ONCE AGAIN, WHIICH WAS ALSO DILUTED. ALL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ON OR ABOUT 3/28/18 OUR LOCAL SERVICE FACILITY, PAT'S AUTOMOTIVE IN CARIBOU, ME, CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS AGAIN OVERFILLED AND CONTAINED GASOLINE. HONDA WAS AGAIN CONTACTED AND ON 4/3/18 THE OIL WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER, WAS OVER THE FULL MARK AGAIN, AND WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. THE OIL WAS CHANGED ONCE AGAIN. PER THE DEALER, HONDA TECHLINE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME AND TO CHANGE THE OIL AS NEEDED. THE ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING AS THE ENGINE OF A NEW VEHICLE DURING THE BREAK IN PERIOD THAT HAS GASOLINE DILUTING AND DISPLACING THE OIL CAN ONLY RESULT IN A SHORTENED ENGINE LIFE.
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 2, 2018
OIL OVERFILLING AND SMELL OF GASOLINE ON DIPSTICK. DEALER CHANGES OIL AND SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS IS CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE.
Service brakes, Apr 1, 2018
I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 HONDA CR-V ON 1/19/18 AND ON 1/29/18 THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BRAKES FELT LESS RESPONSIVE AND SQUISHY. ON 1/29/18 I CONTACTED SUPERSTITION SPRINGS HONDA (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR) IMMEDIATELY. THEY UPDATED AND RESET THE RADAR SYSTEM BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I LEFT MY CAR 2 DAYS SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE RADAR AND THE CAR WORKED FINE UNTIL 3/31/18 WHEN AGAIN IT BEEPED, THE MESSAGES APPEARED AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES FELT LESS RESPONSIVE AGAIN. I'LL TAKE THE CAR BACK AGAIN TOMORROW (CLOSED TODAY FOR EASTER) BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED THIS WILL BE A CONTINUED PROBLEM ON A CAR THAT I'VE HAD LESS THAN 3 MONTHS.

I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY EARLY IN THE MORNING, STILL DARK, AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES. THERE WAS NO ONE OR OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF ME AND FORTUNATELY NO ONE BEHIND ME. THE BRAKES RELEASED AS SUDDENLY AS THEY APPLIED AND ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 29, 2018
WE PURCHASED OUR HONDA CRV EX-L IN OCTOBER OF 2017, WITHIN 5 MONTHS WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMALL IN OUR CABIN. ONE DAY I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL BY PULLING THE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1 FULL INCH ABOVE THE FULL MARK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OIL ON THE DIPSTICK REEKED OF GAS AND WAS VERY DARK AND WATERY. I IMMEDIATELY DID A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE, KNOWING THAT OUR LAST OIL CHANGE WAS LESS THAN 3,000 MILES AGO FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND I WAS SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH THE 2017-2018 CRV WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINE ARE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS CALLED OIL DILUTION AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL BUT THE REASONS ARE UNKNOWN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND HAD MY CAR IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AS MY OIL HAD SO MUCH GASOLINE IN IT THAT IT POURED OUT LIKE WATER. THEY SCHEDULED A CALL WITH HONDA ENGINEERS THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AND THEY WERE ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN. THEY DID SO AND THE GAS VOLUME FILLED UP VERY QUICKLY IN THE NEW OIL SO THE NEXT STEP WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS. BASED ON MY RESEARCH ONLINE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROCEDURE PERFORMED WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THE INJECTORS WERE REPLACED ON MY CAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME, CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FULLY FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND ONCE AGAIN IT'S WELL ABOVE THE FULL MARK WITH A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I'VE CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST PLAIN SUCKS. LACK OF EMPATHY, LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THIS BEING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS. I'M CURRENTLY FIGHTING WITH THEM, PLEADING TO GET A EXTENSION ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AS THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ENGINE DAMAGE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED.
Engine, Mar 29, 2018
THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE'S ALL EXPERIENCE A COOLANT HEATING UP UNDER 32DEGREES F PROBLEM. AT IDLE THE TEMPERATURE COOLS DOWN AND HEATER DOES NOT SUPPLY WARM AIR. ALSO THE ENGINE OIL IS BEING DILUTED BY AN OVERLY RICH MIXTURE CAUSING UNBURNED GAS TO ENTER THE CRANKCASE DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL AND CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. DEALER HAS NO CLUE WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO WHY SO I HAVE TO CHANGE OIL EVE3RY 1000 MILES TO PROTECT THE ENGINE

MARCH 14,2018 DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD,APPROACHING A RAILROAD TRACK, VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. BRAKE COLLISION MITIGATION FLASHED ON DASH. SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK. I TURNED ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS FOR SAFETY. ONCE IN PARK AND RETURNED TO DRIVE, ABLE TO CONTINUE. MY RIGHT ANKLE SPRAINED DUE TO FORCE OF STOP WHILE PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR. MY TEEN IN THE BACK SEAT SUFFERED WHIPLASH. THANKFULLY NO CAR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US. SINCE THIS TIME, I TURN OFF THE COLLISION BRAKE MITIGATION EACH TIME I START THE VEHICLE. FEARFUL OF THE SAME ACTION OCCURRING AGAIN! DEALERSHIP HAS RUN DIAGNOSTICS BUT HAS NO SOLUTION! NO ACCIDENT REPORT FILED.

ENGINE OIL IS OVERFILLING AND BEING DILUTED WITH GAS. STRONG GAS SMELL. WHEN CHANGING OIL, MORE THAN WHAT WAS NEEDED TO FILL ENGINE OIL TO FULL
Engine, Mar 28, 2018
MY 2017 HONDA CR-V IT'S A NEW BROCHE WITH ONLY 3,800 MILES AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OIL LEVEL RAISING DRASTICALLY, SO BAD THAT I HAD TO DO AN OIL CHANCE AT ONLY 3,000 MILES WHEN THE FIRST SERVICE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE AT 5,000 MILES. IT'S BEEN 800 MILES SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND THE OIL LEVEL IS WELL ABOVE THE SECOND MARK ON THE DIPSTICK WITH A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR, YES, FOR THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE I HAVE WITH VEHICLES I'M MORE THAN SURE THIS ENGINE IS MIXING UP GASOLINE WITH THE OIL, REASON WHY THE OIL LEVEL GOES UP AND LOOKS THINNER THAN NORMAL ALMOST LIKE WATER. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE OIL DELUDE DRASTICALLY THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL FOR LACK OF LUBRICATION, AND THE WHOLE POWERTRAIN WILL BE DAMAGE! HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUES ASAP OR RISK MANY CARS NEEDING A NEW ENGINE SOON! MANY PEOPLE IT'S HAVING THIS ISSUES WITH OIL DILUTION AND HEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY PLUS AN STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND OIL COMPARTMENT!! I DRIVE MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES A DAY MIXED DRIVING, HIGHWAY AND CITY!!

MY CAR IS A 2017 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE AND 3200 MILES. ON 3/18/2018 I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 180 IN PENNSYLVANIA WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED, LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS REPORTED MALFUNCTIONS IN THE DASH DISPLAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH EXCESS GAS (APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART) IN THE OIL. THE OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, AND A TECH LINE CASE (REF # 4089104) WAS OPENED WITH HONDA. I WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO PERMANENT RECALL OR FIX. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN COLD CLIMATES WHERE THE CAR IS USED FOR SHORT DRIVES AND DOES NOT WARM UP COMPLETELY. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT ALL CRVS WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 HONDA CRV IN MAY, 2017. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED I WASN'T GETTING GOOD MILEAGE AND STARTED CHECKING IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. I'M ONLY GETTING BETWEEN 16-18 MPG (I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS) AND THE DASH SAYS I'M GETTING 23 (WHICH I'M NOT). THE DEALER NOR NATIONAL HONDA WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAY THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO MY BRAKES MAKE NOISES AND I WAS TOLD THE CALIPERS JUST OFF AND IT DOESN'T POSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL IT WITH THAT KIND OF NOISE. NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TRIED TO GO ON THE BBB WEB-SITE BUT IT SAYS THE HONDA HAS TO BE 2012 OR OLDER. WHY? I FEEL STUCK AND WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE MEDIA IF I CAN'T GET THIS RESOLVED. THE DEALER SHOULD BY MY CAR BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW. SOMEONE HELP ME.

2017 HONDA CRV TOURING MODEL CAR WOULD NOT START TWICE IN THE FIRST YEAR. SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF DRAIN ON THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS NOT TURNED ON FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE TRYING TO START IT. THE BATTERY WAS BAD SO THE DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED 6 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR WAS NOT TURNED ON FOR 1 DAY. BATTERY TESTED FINE AND THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO PARISITIC DRAW OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM. WITH MY PERSISTENCE, DEALER DID A SYSTEM UPDATE. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST YEAR OF HAVING A CAR. PLENTY OF 2017 CRV OWNERS ARE SAYING THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HONDA MUST FIND A SOLUTION AND ISSUE A RECALL. OTHERWISE, THIS CAR MUST BE A LEMON.
