MY ENGINES CRANKCASE IS FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE. I'AM AFRAID OF A FIRE.
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 23, 2020
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CRV, MOST RECENTLY A COMPLETE MALFUNCTION WHERE CAR DID NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL FLASHING ON ALERT. HONDA MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT FOR OVERFILLING MY OIL TANK. WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2500 FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER MUCH NEGOTIATING THEY LOWERED COST. HOWEVER I HAVE SINCE SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. *TR

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 14, 2020
WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT VEHICLE MISFIRED AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. LOST SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PARKED CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CAR STARTED TO REV ITSELF WHILE IN PARK WITHOUT PUSHING THE PEDAL. ALL SYSTEM ALERT INDICATORS CAME ON INDICATING ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL & ENGINE COMPONENTS. TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED. CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY NOTICED MISFIRES AS WELL WHEN TESTING AND CAR WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE FOLLOWING IN DIAGNOSTIC REPORT: "FOUND ENGINE OIL TO BE OVER FILLED. CODE P0300 RANDAM MISFIRE. THERE WAS GAS IN THE FUEL - PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND UPDATED THE PGM - FI SYSTEM" AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CRV 2018 MODELS, BUT THERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THAT GAS GETS IN TO THE OIL PANEL AND DILUTES THE OIL WITH GAS. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAD OUR CAR MISFIRED AT HIGHER SPEED THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL ALSO ASSUREDLY EFFECT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES ENGINE AS OIL IS DILUTED BY GAS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL TANK AND CAUSING STALLING AND MISFIRES ISSUES JUST AS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. IT WAS NOT UNTIL WE TOLD THEM WE FOUND INFORMATION ON IT OURSELVES DID THEY RECOGNIZE IT. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT OUR PARTICULAR VIN HAD ALREADY HAD THE UPDATE AND FIX THAT WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN IT DID NOT REMEDY OUR VEHICLE, AND THIS IS STILL A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO RECTIFY WITH ITS CUSTOMERS.

ON DECEMBER 22, 2019 I WAS HEADED TO CHURCH ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY AND HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, A LOUD METAL TO METAL SOUND AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD CAR HAULED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WHERE I HAD IT MAINTAINED. I HAD THE VEHICLE HAULED OVER TO DEALERSHIP ON A TRAILER TO AVOID DRIVING IT. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED, THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL TO THE ENGINE WAS BLOCKED BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT BLOCKED THE OIL. HEARING METAL TO METAL IT COULD HAVE BEEN SHAVINGS FROM THE METAL RUBBING TOGETHER. IT IS JANUARY 9, 2020 AND I AM STILL WITHOUT A MY CAR. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT READY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020. HOWEVER, WHEN I DROVE OFF IN IT, THE ENGINE WAS ROARING. SO, I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK AND LEFT IT ONCE AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020 AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY ONCE AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I WORK IN 53 MILE AWAY. I TEST DROVE IT AND THE ROARING SOUND WAS STILL THERE. THEY (THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT) THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES SO THEY ROTATED THE TIRES AND STILL HEARD THE ROARING SOUND. THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A 2018 VEHICLE. I FELT THE ROARING WAS STILL IN THE ENGINE. I WILL HOPEFULLY PICK MY CAR UP ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020 IN HOPES THE ROARING SOUND IS GONE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE THE 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE OIL. NEVERTHELESS, A 2018 HONDA TOURING SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND NOW I FEEL THE VALUE OF MY CAR IS DEPRECIATED.

I BOUGHT CAR USED FROM GM DEALERSHIP 3/16/19, WASN'T AWARE OF PROBLEM UNTIL FIRST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE.GAS MIXING IN WITH OIL CAUSING OIL LEVEL TO RISE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, ABOUT A QUART HIGH WITH AROUND 2,000 MILES DRIVEN,MOSTLY HIGHWAY. HONDA SERVICE HAD ME BRING IN VEHICLE AFTER OIL CHANGE TO CHECK LEVEL, THEN AGAIN AFTER 1,000 MILES TO RECHECK. BROUGHT IN IN AFTER ABOUT 1700 MILES AND OIL WAS UP ABOUT A QUART ACCORDING TO SERVICE MANAGER. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED SOFTWARE "FIX" TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER 1,500 MILES, OIL LEVEL UP SIGNIFICANTLY AGAIN. DEALER CONTENDS HONDA DOESN'T HAVE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF ISSUE YET. CAR IN HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AGAIN FOR ASSESSMENT, THIRD OIL CHANGE IN 2 MONTHS. DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE CARS PERFORMANCE SINCE I BOUGHT USED AND NEVER HAD NORMAL BASELINE TO COMPARE TO.

THE ENGINE OIL KEEPS INCREASING IN VOLUME CAUSING ME TO DRAIN ABOUT 1/2 QT ABOUT EVERY 1000-1500 MILES. IF YOU DO NOT KEEP A CHECK ON THIS IT WILL DEGRADE OR CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. I LIVE IN GEORGIA WHICH HAS A MILD CLIMATE.

MY 2018 HONDA CR V HAS THE 1.5 LITRE TURBO ENGINE. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED REGARDING THE MIXING OF THE FUEL/GAS WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN THE NORTH, HOWEVER, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE HERE IN OKLAHOMA. UPON ENGINE START THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SEATING. I HAVE ALSO NOTED INCREASE OIL LEVELS IN THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. ALSO THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE OIL DIPSTICK. I AM WRITING TO INQUIRE IF HONDA MOTOR COMPANY INTENDS TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THE SMELL STARTS AT THE MOMENT THE ENGINE IS STARTED.. THE CAR CAN BE STATIONARY AND I CAN STILL NOTICE THE SMELL OF FUEL. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF FUEL IN THE CRANKCASE WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THESE ENGINES. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER WITH HONDA? THANK YOU.

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 14, 2019
GAS LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE WHILE I'M DRIVING, WHICH WILL INEVITABLY ENGINE FAILURE AND THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, THIS POSES A RISK FOR MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION.. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IS AWARE OF THIS AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE. 48 HOURS LATER MY OIL IS COMPLETELY DILUTED WITH GASOLINE AGAIN. THERE IS A STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN OF MY CAR WHICH IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN, ONE WITH ASTHMA. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION.

GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. A WARRANTY REPAIR WAS DONE JAN 2019 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IN SEPT 2019 THE ENGINE OIL WAS NOTED TO BE ABOVE FULL AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR FURTHER REPAIR BUT NO FURTHER REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AND BECAUSE HONDA CLAIMS THIS TO BE "A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR, NO OIL CHANGE WAS DONE EITHER. HOWEVER, THE HONDA 2018 CR-V MANUAL CLEARLY POINTS OUT THAT OVER FILLING THE OIL MAY LEAD TO LEAKS OR ENGINE DAMAGE. COPIES OF THE REPAIR RECEIPT AND HONDA OIL OVERFILL WARNING ARE ATTACHED.

2018 HONDA CRV EX: MILEAGE 20,165. UPON ACCELERATING WHILE PULLING THE CAR ON MAIN ROADWAY, THE CAR DROPPED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH AND THEN WOULDN'T REACH PAST 35MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND STARTED TO BLINK. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONLY AGGRAVATED THE SITUATION. ABOUT A MILE LATER THE CAR STOPPED/STALLED TRYING TO GO UP A HILL. I TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED 10 MIN AND RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO GO ANOTHER 1 MILE TO HOME, I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO GO OVER 25 MPH, BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT MADE SURE I DID NOT GO OVER 30MPH, AS I DID NOT WANT IT TO STALL. DURING THE DRIVE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING. WAITING TO HEAR BACK.FROM THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY HONDA AND ALL 2017/2018 CRVS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA AND EUROPE, BUT NOT THE US.

AFRAID THIS CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE! ENGINE OIL IS GETTING DILUTED WITH FUEL DUE TO THE TURBO ENGINES ON THE 2017 -2018 HONDA CRVS. I NOTIFIED STEVENSON HENDRICK HONDA IN DECEMBER 2018 OF A FUEL SMELL IN CABIN OF CAR WHILE DRIVING AND AN MIL (MALFUNCTION ERROR CAME UP & ALL SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED UNTIL I CUT CAR OFF AT NEXT STOP AND RESTARTED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR ON 12/24/18 AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN DUE TO FUEL SMELL IN CABIN & WE HAD CHECKED OIL & THE DIPSTICK REAKED OF FUEL & WAS WAY OVER THE HIGH MARK. TOOK CAR ON 8/10/19 AND I MADE SERVICE MANAGER TONY CHECK OIL IN FRONT OF ME TO VERIFY FUEL WAS IN IT. THEY SAID THEY CHANGED COMPUTER MODULE AND DID SOME UPDATES TO FIX & TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK ON 8/1/717 AT 8;00 FOR INSTALL OF SPARK PLUGS THEY ORDERED. DROVE 40 MILES BACK HOME AND FUEL WAS ALREADY IN THE OIL AGAIN! CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK TO LET THEM KNOW I WANT THE OIL/OIL FILTER CHANGED AGAIN ON 8/17/19 WHEN THEY DO SPARK PLUGS AND THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK OIL IN CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AS WELL & SPOKE TO "CAT". SHE WASN'T HELPFUL AT ALL AND REFUSED TO TELL ME WHY THE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE THEY SENT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FUEL DILUTION IN THE OIL. IT ONLY REFERRED TO ERROR CODES & WHIRLING NOISE IN ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN HAPPENING IN "COLD WEATHER REGIONS" AND THAT I AM THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF. I TOLD THEM THAT IF PEOPLE DON'T CHECK THEIR OIL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TELL THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR OIL THAT THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE CONSUMERS.THIS CAR SCARES ME ME & I'M AFRAID MY ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE FROM THIS ISSUE!
