ABNORMAL OIL DILUTION CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ENGINE. CAR TALKING LONG TIME TO WARM UP. NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. FOUL SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN
Engine, Dec 26, 2018
ENGINE OIL BECOMES OVERFILLED WITH GASOLINE. IT IS VISIBLE WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK. ALSO THE DIPSTICK SMELLS OF GASOLINE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 26, 2018
STATIONARY:GAS INTRUSION INTO OIL. DIPSTICK REEKS OF GAS. OIL VISCOSITY APPEARS WATERY. STRONG GAS SMELL IN GARAGE AFTER PARKING (HEATED GARAGE) - TAKES 6-8 HRS TO DISSIPATE SMELL DRIVING AND STATIONARY: STRONG GAS SMELL INTO DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER AREA, OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF CAR AND UNDER HOOD - SMELL APPEARS TO COME INTO CABIN WITH HEATER ON THROUGH VENTS. WINDOWS HAVE TO BE ROLLED DOWN AND HEATER OFF TO GET RID OF SMELL - MY EYES WATER, THROAT BECOMES TIGHT AND NOSE STARTS STINGING IMMEDIATELY - HEADACHES START AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND CONTINUE FOR 4-5 HRS AS DO THE OTHER SYMPTOMS THIS CABIN/UNDER HOOD GAS SMELL HAS HAPPENED WITH OUTSIDE TEMPS FROM 28-60 DEGREES. GAS SMELL IS MORE CONCENTRATED AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING THE CAR AND THEN TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RETURNING TO CAR TO START ENGINE WITHIN 10 MINUTES TO 4 HRS - IT LITERALLY MAKES ME NAUSEOUS AND DIZZY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER CAR IS IN GARAGE, DRIVING ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. HAS BECOME WORSE THE PAST 6 WEEKS (CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE 2018) FROM HONDA DEALER IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. IT CURRENTLY HAS 2500 MILES ON ODOMETER WHAT ABOUT A FIRE UNDER HOOD FROM EXCESS FUEL NOT BEING BURNED OFF? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY HEALTH AND EMISSIONS HAVE DRIVEN MANY TYPES OF CARS FOR OVER 50 YRS AND NEVER HAD THESE GAS INTRUSION ISSUES OR OIL INTRUSION FROM FUEL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NEED TO "AIR CAR OUT" BECAUSE OF SMELL AND IT'S RAINING OR SNOWING? THE POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE DAMAGE IN CONCERNING - EXAMPLE: HOW DOES GAS MIXED WITH OIL, LUBRICATE AN ENGINE AND ITS RELATED COMPONENTS PROPERLY? WHY IS THERE EXCESS BUILD UP OF FUEL IN OIL PAN? WHY AM I SUBJECTED TO THE NOXIOUS, HIDEOUS, AND SICKENING GAS SMELL IN CABIN? THEREFORE, I WOULD EXPECT AT A MINIMUM EXTENDED DRIVE TRAIN/ENGINE WARRANTY TO 6 YRS FROM HONDA WHICH WAS GRANTED IN CANADA AND WANT GAS SMELL ELIMINATED

I CAN SMELL GAS IN THE CAR, BUT I DON'T SEE A LEAK. HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD.
Engine, Dec 22, 2018
ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATED BY GASOLINE. STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN OIL AND CABIN. OIL HAS THE VISCOSITY OF WATER. NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO ITS JOB AND FORCE HONDA TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED IF THE TESTED CRV ENGINE AND ALL I RECEIVED WAS SILENCE OVER THE PHONE. MY ENGINE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AS I DROVE 12,000 MILES SO FAR. IF NHTSA DOES NOT DO ITS JOB IN RECALLING THIS VEHICLE EVERYONE THERE SHOULD BE FIRED. I HOPE SOMEONE THERE OF ANY AUTHORITY READS THIS COMPLAINT. AGAIN NHTSA DO YOUR JOB.

Engine, Dec 20, 2018
I PURCHASED MY CR-V IN FEBRUARY 2018. I COMPLETED MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 6804 MILES IN DECEMBER. THE OIL WAS VERY DARK(BLACK), WATERY, AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF FUEL. ISSUES WITH VEHICLE ARE CAUSING AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT AT AN ELEVATION OF 6800 FEET. MY COMMUTE IS SHORT AND IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT. THE CR-V IS STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE DURING THE NIGHT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY WEAR TO MY ENGINE AND AT THIS TIME HONDA IS ONLY GOING TO DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM BUT NOT FIX IT ON FIRST VISIT. THEY SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND NOT MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY'RE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF
Engine, Dec 20, 2018

ANOTHER APPT TODAY 12/20/2018 TO LOOK AT NOISE AGAIN AND LOWER OIL LEVEL AS WAS OVERFILLED YESTERDAY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA DIRECT HONDA TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE RESOLUTION FOR THESE ISSUE DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE(GAS SMELL IN CAB, EXTENSIVE GAS IN OIL RESERVOIR) AND ADDRESS DAMAGE DONE TO VEHICLE DUE TO COMPROMISED OIL LUBRICATION (CAM PINGING PER RECALL DOCUMENTATION). PLEASE HELP US CR-V OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN GETTING A STRONG GAS ODOR INSIDE THE CAR AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE FULL MARK,SMELLED STRONG OF GAS AND WAS A DARK COLOR FOR BEING BRAND NEW WITH 3,000 MILES. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED CAMPAIGN RECALL #18-114 THAT INCLUDED SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A A/C CONTROL.

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 16, 2018
OIL LEVEL OVER FULL. AND STRONG FUEL SMELL IT THE OIL. MY GARAGE SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS ALSO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBET AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A FIX WAS COMMING SOON? NOTHING YET? WHY WOULD THEY SELL VEHICLES WITH KNOWLEDGE OF A SERIOUS MOTOR PROBLEM?
Engine, Dec 15, 2018
LOTS OF GASOLINE IN MY OIL. OIL LEVEL STARTING CLIMBING AT ONSET OF COLD WEATHER HERE IN LOUISIANA ( IT HAD BEEN STABLE AT FULL LINE BEFORE WEATHER GOT COLD). MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE 15 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY 5 DAYS PER WEEK. SMELL OF GASOLINE KEPT GETTING STRONGER AND OIL LEVEL RISING SLIGHTLY EACH SATURDAY MORNING WHEN I CHECKED MY OIL (AFTER WEATHER GOT COLD). I SHOWED DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR (AT 50% OIL LIFE) WHO AGREED THAT THE OIL SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE & LEVEL WAS TOO HIGH AND THEN HE IGNORED MY REQUEST TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE. I CHECK OIL LEVEL EACH SATURDAY MORNING (AS WELL AS TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL MY VEHICLES). ONCE I GOT HOME FROM DEALERSHIP OIL CHANGE AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO COMPLAINT OF GASOLINE IN OIL IN MY PAPERWORK I CALLED HONDA USA AND COMPLAINED THEY THEN GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER.
Engine, Dec 14, 2018
ENGINE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED FOR FIRST TIME SINCE INFORMATION WAS PROMPTED ON DASH BOARD. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IT WAS DETECTED THAT OIL LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL REQUIRED LEVEL. OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE ORANGE MEASURING SCALE AND IS 1/8 OF AN INCH ON METAL DIPSTICK. OIL SMELL ON GASOLINE AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL. ALSO, OIL SEEMS TO BE DELUTED. OIL LEVEL WAS CKECKED WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD AND HOT. THE RESULT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME. OIL LEVEL IS TOO HIGH.
Engine, Dec 13, 2018
ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION BY INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION OF GASOLINE IN CYLINDER. VOLUME OF OIL BECOMES OVER FULL. PRODUCES "GASOLINE SMELL" AND DIMINISHES THE EFFICIACY OF ENGINE OIL LUBRICATION.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 13, 2018
3-MONTH-OLD 2018 CR-V EX-L - NOTICED OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS WITHIN FIRST 2 MONTHS. DEALER HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. GAS HAS BEEN GETTING INTO OIL IN APPARENTLY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS. PERSISTENT SMELLS OF GAS AND 'ROTTEN EGGS/MEAT' WHILE OPERATING. OIL LEVEL GETS HIGHER ABOVE MEASURING SECTION OF DIPSTICK EVERY TIME I CHECK, SMELLS OF GAS. CAR BEGINS TO STALL A BIT OCCASIONALLY. HAD OIL CHANGED AT 5K MILES - TECH CONFIRMED OIL WAS VERY THIN, HIGHER VOLUME THAN SHOULD BE, AND SMELLED OF GAS. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY NOW (WHAT IF IT STALLS WHILE IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC?) AND ALSO LONG-TERM ENGINE DAMAGE SINCE DILUTED OIL WILL NOT LUBRICATE AS WELL. RESEARCHED ONLINE ONLY AFTER DISCOVERING PROBLEM - APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, AND WIDESPREAD - BUT BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY HONDA.
Power train, Engine, Dec 12, 2018
GAS IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL SYSTEM THUS OVERFILLING IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY VEHICLES OIL (LESS THAN 500 MILES ON MY CAR) AND THE OIL LINE WAS WAY PASSED FULL. THIS OVERFILLING CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, WHICH ACCORDING TO EXPERTS CAN CAUSE STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES WHICH POSES AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT IT IS A PRESSING ISSUE. HENCE THE REASON THE 2019 CR-V'S HAVE NOT YET BEEN RELEASED.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 10, 2018
WIFE NOTICES FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING. OIL WAS CHECKED AND I COULD VISIBLY SEE THE OIL IS CUT WITH GASOLINE ALONG WITH STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ON OIL DIPSTICK.

Engine, Dec 5, 2018
FUEL IS SOMEHOW MIXING WITH MY VEHICLES OIL. THIS IS CAUSING A FUEL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE AND RESULTS IN OVER FULL DIPSTICK READINGS. A RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM A HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY MADE THE ISSUE WORSE. I CAN START WITH A FRESH OIL CHANGE TODAY AND TWO DAYS LATER MY OIL WILL BE A QUART OVER FULL AND WILL SMELL LIKE FUEL.
