SONE HOW GAS IS GETTING THE OIL. I LEFT VEHICLE RUN AT IDLE FOR 15 MINUTES IN DRIVEWAY TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT MOVE. IF I DRIVE VEHICLE THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP BUT STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TEMP GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AGAIN. VERY STRONG ODER OF GASOLINE IN SIDE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT OR PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES. YOU HAVE TO PUT WINDOWS DOWN IT SMELLS SO BAD. HONDA IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND DOES NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO ANY OF THEM! MY VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO GET FIXED FRIDAY MORNING. 1-11-19 BUT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THE FIX HONDA IS DOING DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA IS FORCED TO DO SOMETHING? IT IS ALL HONDA CRV VEHICLES AND SOME OTHER MODELS FROM 2017 AND 2018.

BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CR-V EX TURBO IN SEPTEMBER. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THEY HAD ISSUES WITH GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. THE MAINTENANCE FOR OIL CHANGES IS 10,000 MILES. I CHANGED OIL MYSELF AT 6,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 16,000 BY THE DEALER THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A/C COMPUTER. THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT WILL REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE SAME A/C COMPUTER. SO, I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK ONLINE JANUARY 6TH FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF CR-V'S HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. SINCE I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MINE HAS MIXED. MY OIL WAS 1/2' PAST FULL. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN JANUARY 10TH. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? I FEEL I WAS SET UP WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THE A/C RECALL WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'LL SURE BE KEEPING AN EYE ON MY OIL AFTER THE REPAIR.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 8, 2019
AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES I CHANGED THE OIL IN OUR 2018 CR-V (FOR THE FIRST TIME) AND REALIZED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 QUARTS TOO MUCH OIL (IT WASN'T ALL OIL, GASOLINE HAD DILUTED THE OIL). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT THE HONDA DEALER IN GRAND ISLAND, NE TO HAVE THEM 'INSTALL UPDATED INJECTOR SOFTWARE AND SOMETHING CONCERNING THE A/C REGULATOR (THEY SAID).

OIL DILUTED WITH GASOLINE
Engine, Jan 7, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE IDLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOBBY RAHAL HONDA OF STATE COLLEGE (LOCATED AT 2796 W COLLEGE AVE, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801, (814) 552-1352) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR CAN EVEN FIX IT.

OIL DILUTION, OVER FULL OIL MARK, ENGINE OIL LEAK NOTICED WHEN STATIONARY. GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE.
Engine, Jan 4, 2019
GASOLINE IS GETTING INTO THE OIL. SYMPTOMS ARE A GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK IS ABOVE THE TOP FILL LEVEL. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. HONDA IS REPAIRING CARS IN COLD WEATHER STATES ONLY. A TSB WAS ISSUED IN OCTOBER 22, 2018. WHY AREN'T THEY REPAIRING ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM? I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON MY CAR AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1/2 OVER THE FILL MARK.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 4, 2019
OUR 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING HAS THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. OUR OIL LEVEL INCREASED ABOUT 3/4 INCH ON THE OIL STICK FROM MAY, 2018 TO DECEMBER, 2018 AND IT SMELLS LIKE GAS. WE HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS INSIDE OUR CAR. HONDA IS FIXING SOME CARS, BUT WE LIVE IN ARKANSAS AND OUR STATE IS NOT ON THE LIST TO BE REPAIRED. WE COULD HAVE AN ENGINE FIRE SO FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THE ENGINE WILL WEAR OUT A LOT FASTER WITH THE DILUTION....EVEN THOUGH THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT WON'T!!
Engine, Jan 4, 2019
ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING POSSIBLE MOTOR DAMAGE. DEALER REDID A FUEL MAPPING, AND MADE IT SO TEH FAN CANNOT BLOW UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED. THIS WONT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THESE DIRECT INJECTED MOTORS LET GASOLINE PAST THE RINGS WHEN COLD, AND IF THE CAR IS COLD FREQUENTLY, THE GASOLINE WILL NOT VAPORIZE FORM THE OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, THE INCREASED VOLUME OF LIQUID CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO LSOE POWER AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME, CAUSING A SAFETY RISK. I LIVE IN TEXAS, SO IT DOESN'T GET EXCEPTIONALLY COLD, BUT THIS HAPPENED ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. INTERNET SEARCHES SHOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES, AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

EXTRA OIL IN THE ENGINE; DURING THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE I FOLLOWED THE OEM'S RECOMMENDATION AND ADDED THE PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL TO THE ENGINE (3.5L OR 3.7QT). HOWEVER, WHEN I DID THE LAST OIL CHANGE I DRAINED 5QTS OF OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

MY 2018 CRY HAD OVER FUL OIL LEVEL ON DIPSTICK AND BAD SMELL OF FUEL IN OIL. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN IN NORTHERN STATES BUT NOT IN TEXAS WHERE I LIVE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID A FIX IS BEING ISSUED IN NORTHERN STATES AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CALL ME IN FEW WEEKS TO SCHEDULE THE FIX FOR MY CRV. IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SERVICE MANAGER. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1 MONTH OF DRIVING AND THE LEVEL IS ABOVE FULL WITH A SMELL OF GAS ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY ENGINES LONGEVITY.

I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE C RV FROM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT HIGH. I BROUGHT THE HONDA TO A QUICK LUBE TO CHECK IT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. AFTER ARRIVING BACK HOME TC A FEW WEEKS LATER WE GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA. ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26TH, WILLIAMS HONDA IN TC DID THE RECALL WORK. ON THURSDAY MY WIFE GOT IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SHOPPING AND THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK. SHE CALLED THE HONDA DEALER AND BROUGHT THE HONDA TO THEM. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE HEATER TO NOT WORK WITH THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOMETHING, THE HEATER BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME, WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. ON AN EARLIER OCCASION OUR NEW CR-V WOULD NOT START AS AFTER ONLY 30 MINUTES OF SITTING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US YOU CAN'T LEAVE ANY LIGHTS ON AS THE BATTERY WONT LAST VERY LONG.
