GAS MIXING IN WITH OIL, SMELLING THE GAS ON THE DIP STICK AND WHILE DOING AN OIL CHANGE.
Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 13, 2018
FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL CAUSING THE OIL LEVEL TO BECOME HIGH AND THE OIL DILUTED. ON SHORT COLD TRIPS, THE CAB SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER AND NOT EVEN 300 MILES LATER, THE OIL LEVEL IS HIGH AGAIN AND THE OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE. ADDITIONALLY, MY CR-V DOES NOT HEAT UP PROPERLY. WHEN STARTED COLD, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE DASH NEVER COMES OFF OF COLD, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IDLES. IT TAKES AT LEAST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO REGISTER HEAT. WHEN I REMOTE START MY CAR ON COLD DAYS, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY HEAT UP THE CAR.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 13, 2018
GASOLINE IS CONTAMINATING AND DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. OIL TURNED BLACK AND DILUTED BY THE GASOLINE AND HAD TO BE CHANGED WITH LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. CONCERNED THAT THE GASOLINE DILUTED OIL IS POSING A FIRE AND SAFETY RISK.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 12, 2018
GASOLINE ODOR IN VEHICLE, GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 12, 2018
MY 2018 CR-V SUFFERS FROM THE DREADED [OIL DILUTION ISSUE] WHERE GASOLINE GETS INTO THE OIL RAISING THE LEVEL ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE RESULT IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, SOMETIMES IN THE CABIN BUT ALWAYS WHEN YOU PULL THE DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE OIL. THE OIL LEVEL IS ALWAYS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE FULL MARK. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALER, AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL, THE HIGH LEVEL AND THE FACT THAT MANY 2017-18 CRV'S SUFFER FROM THIS SAME ISSUE. THEIR UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION WAS TO CHANGE THE OIL AND MAKE LONGER TRIPS TO TRY TO BURN OFF THE GASOLINE IN THE OIL. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A STATEMENT IN THE FALL ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. FIRST A BIT ABOUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF CRV OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM UNEXPECTEDLY STALLING AND LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. SOME HAVE SUFFERED ACCIDENTS. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A VEHICLE YOU'D LIKE TO PUT YOUR FAMILY IN? ALSO, DILUTED MOTOR OIL HAS TO HAVE LONG TERM DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM VALUE OF A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GREAT RESALE VALUE - THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT. SO HONDA ROLLS OUT THEIR "FIX", AND I NOTICE THAT THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT THEY CONSIDER "COLD WEATHER STATES". THEY ALSO PLAN TO ROLL THESE "COULD WEATHER STATE" FIXES OUT OVER A MULTIPLE MONTH SCHEDULE. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. WHAT ABOUT MY CAR HONDA. I WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD TREAT ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THE SAME AND WOULD WANT TO FIX AS MANY AFFLICTED VEHICLES AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. HONDA HAS A VERY LOYAL OWNER-BASE. I BETCHA HOW THEY HANDLE THIS WILL AFFECT PEOPLE'S DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW IT WILL AFFECT MINE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 12, 2018
THIS VEHICLE GETS A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE DO TO THIS SMELL, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON. MY WIFE SUFFERS FROM MIGRAINES AND CANNOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, VALLEY HONDA, IN AURORA IL. NO RESOLUTION WAS PROVIDED AS THEY INDICATED THE SMELL IS TIED TO THE WELL KNOW OIL-DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THIS 1.5 TRBO ENGINE, WHICH THEY CONFIRMED THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS (BUT FOR WHICH NO 'FIX' HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE U.S.) SO NOW, NOT ONLY AM I DAMAGING THE NEW ENGINE WHEN DRIVEN, BUT ALSO THE OCCUPANT HEALTH BY EXPOSING THEM TO GASOLINE FUMES. THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL ASAP.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 11, 2018
STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN IDLE OR DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER. OIL LEVEL HIGH. FUEL AND OIL MIXING.
Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 9, 2018
2018 HONDA CR-V EX. SINCE I PURCHASED NEW EXCESS IN JAN 2018 FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE CRANKCASE AND DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. HAVE TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. SENT SEVERAL OIL SAMPLES FROM MY CR-V TO A LAB AND IT COMES BACK HIGHLY DILUTED WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE DAMAGE. ALSO, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN TEMPS ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND BELOW MY CR-V CANNOT HOLD A NORMAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE WHEN GOING DOWNHILL OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS IS TURN CAUSES MY WINDSHIELD TO ICE OVER CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADS. I HAVE CONTACTED AND VISITED MY HONDA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. HOW CAN MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THESE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AND NOTHING BE WRONG? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION AND MY DEALER. I HAVE PURCHASED 4 NEW HONDA VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS WILL CERTAINLY BE MY LAST. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER FOR SURE.
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 6, 2018
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH INFOTAINMENT SCREEN/SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM FREEZES AND SOMETIMES GOES BLACK AND WON'T RESPOND TO TOUCHES AND OR INSTRUCTIONS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO PERMANENT FIX. ALSO, VEHICLE TEMPERATURE REMAINS COLD. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND THE TEMP STAYS COLD WITH NO HEAT IN THE CABIN. EXPERIENCING FUEL MIXING WITH OIL AND SOMETIMES SMELL OF FUEL IN THE CABIN IS NOTICEABLE.HIGH OIL LEVEL IS ALSO PRESENT. DEALERSHIP AND HONDA NA BOTH INFORMED ME THAT I WILL NEED FREQUENT OIL CHANGES UNTIL THEY FIND A PERMANENT FIX.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 31, 2018
ENGINE OIL IS BEING DELETED WITH GASOLINE IN LESS THAN 2000 MIES, WHICH WILL CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE OVER TIME. HAD OIL CHANGE, IT HAD ALMOST 1/2 INCH EXTRA FLUID ON THE OIL DIP STICK LEVEL AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE OLD GASOLINE
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 30, 2018
BOUGHT 2018 HONDA CR-V EXL ONLY 2 WEEKS AGO. IT HAS 500 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I FOUND THAT THE OIL IS OVER FULL AND VERY DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. I WORRY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE GETS HOT WILL THE GAS IGNITE. IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE ENGINE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION? HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE PAYING HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES.
Service brakes, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 30, 2018
ON A CITY STREET, AFTER SLOW ACCELERATION AFTER LEAVING A STOP SIGN,WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SUDDENLY ENGAGED AND HARD BRAKED THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR I FEAR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED! ALSO I AM CONCERNED THAT HONDA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM WITH THE EARTHDREAM TURBO 1.5 ENGINE CAUSING GASOLINE TO ENTER THE OIL. I LIVE IN MARYLAND, USA AND HONDA HAS DONE RECALLS IN CHINA AND NOW CANADA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS POOR HEATING, BUT NOT IN THE USA. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY! I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. MANY OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT THE BUTTON YOU MUST PUSH IN TO SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF PARK WILL BREAK WITHOUT WARNING, PREVENTING SHIFTING GEARS.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 29, 2018
FUEL IS CONTAMINATING THE OIL CAUSING THE LEVEL TO RAISE 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH ABOVE FULL WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL WITH DIP STICK. CHANGING OIL AT 2,000 MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGE. POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE WHICH COULD LEAD TO BEING STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 28, 2018
STRONG GAS SMELL IN PASSENGER CABIN. GAS MIXING WITH ENGINE OIL. CONSEQUENTLY ENGINE OIL LEVELS RISING VERY HIGH.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 27, 2018
1.5L TURBO ENGINE- CHANGED OIL AT 5200 MILES TECH SAID "VERY DIRTY". AT 7200 MILES/6 MONTHS- ALMOST STALLED IN TRAFFIC 3 TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY. SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAB ONCE. I CHECKED THE OIL, AFTER 2000 MILES SINCE LAST CHANGED- OIL WAS BLACK AND SMELLED LIKE GAS. DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP- THEY HAVE HAD IT OVER A WEEK. THEY SEEM ELUSIVE IN UPDATES. TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG ONE MINUTE, IT'S OK THE OIL WAS THAT DIRTY, BUT THEN THEY "UPDATED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" AND CHANGED THE OIL. AGAIN THEY SAID- NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THEY WANT TO KEEP IT ONE MORE NIGHT TO TEST DRIVE IT AND HONDA HAS A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM COMING SOON.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 26, 2018
I HAVE THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH MY 2018 CR-V. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BRAND NEW. I CURRENTLY HAVE 9000 MILES AND HAD TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED FOUR TIMES DUE TO GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL, STRONG GAS ODOR AND OIL OVER FULL. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AT ONCE AND CYCLING OVER AND OVER, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE AND NO HARM WILL COME TO MY ENGINE. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 26, 2018
I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES OVER CONCERN WITH GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. ON MY FIRST VISIT, THEY ASKED ME TO PAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY WOULD MARK THE LEVEL OF OIL. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE CHANGED OIL LEVEL WAS EXACTLY AT THE FULL LINE ON THE DIPSTICK. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED AND VERIFIED THAT THE OIL LEVEL HAD INCREASED BY 1/2" AND SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA TECH SUPPORT. TWO DAYS LATER THEY SENT ME A MESSAGE SAYING THIS WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL. I HAVE NOTICED DECREASED ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT STALLING AND SIGNIFICANT ENGINE DAMAGE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 26, 2018
2018 HONDA CRV, 8000 MILES, FUEL IS ENTERING THE CRANKCASE CREATING AN OVERFULL CONDITION. CONCERNS ARE NOXIOUS FUMES IN THE CABIN AND EXTREME EARLY WEAR OF ALL LUBRICATED ENGINE COMPONENTS. DEALER INFORMS ME THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA AND WAS TOLD THE SAME . I INTEND TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP OWNER AND ASK IF I MIGHT COME ONCE EACH WEEK AND ADD GASOLINE TO HIS OIL OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 24, 2018
VEHICLE IS SHOWING AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE ENTERING INTO THE OIL THAT LUBRICATES THE ENGINE. HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT NUMEROUS SITES AND TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY WHO VERIFIED THAT THE OIL LEVEL HAS RISEN ABOVE THE MAX MARK ON THE DIPSTICK AND IT DOES SMELL OF GASOLINE. I HAVE HAD NO OPERATIONAL ISSUES THUS FAR BUT KNOW THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS. I HAVE APPROX. 4200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND DOCUMENTED IT ON THE WORK ORDER. THEY ALSO CHANGED THE OIL AT THIS TIME. THEY INDICATED HONDA IS EXPECTING TO RELEASE SOME SORT OF SOLUTION IN MID NOV AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY EITHER THE DEALER OR HONDA DIRECT.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 24, 2018
I SMELLED GAS INSIDE THE CABIN DRIVING FOR SHORT DISTANCE 2X IN 4 DAYS. THIS IS FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY AND/OR REALLY SHORT DISTANCES. CHECKED OIL AND IT HAD A SMALL HINT OF GAS SMELL IN IT TOO. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO GO ON THERE. THEY SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT. OIL LEVEL WAS WITHIN LIMIT. ONLY HAVE 500 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE (AROUND LOW TO MID 30S F). 2ND TIME AROUND 45ISH.
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 23, 2018

CHECKED AGAIN AFTER 2000 MILES AND THE GASOLINE SMELL IS STRONGER AND THE DIPSTICK REGISTERS WELL PAST FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY 10/23/18 WITH A MESSAGE "SYSTEMS EMISSION PROBLEM." EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA.

Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 22, 2018
WHEN I PULLED OUT THE DIPSTICK TO CHECK MY ENGINE OIL YOU COULD SMELL GASOLINE ON IT. THERE IS GAS MIXING IN WITH THE OIL. MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I CHECKED IT. TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY HAD ME STAND WITH THEM WHILE HE CHECKED AND YOU COULD SMELL IT THEN ALSO. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND SUGGESTED IT BE CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES INSTEAD OF THE CALLED FOR 7,500 MILES, UNTIL HONDA RELEASES A FIX (SUPPOSEDLY MID NOVEMBER). THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HONDA WOULD NOT COVER THE EXTRA OIL CHANGES. MY CAR WAS AT THEIR FACILITY OCTOBER 8 AND 9, 2018. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AND IF I SEE THE LEVEL ABOVE THE NORMAL READING TO CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY, OR IF I SEE MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE EVEN AFTER THE FIX IS IN PLACE. I TOLD BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DEALER THAT I HAVE A TRIP PLANNED IN EARLY NOVEMBER AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LONG DISTANCE, MY CONCERNS WERE WITH IT STALLING OR JUST STOPPING.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 20, 2018
REPEATED LOSS OF POWER / STALL. CHECKED FLUIDS AND OIL DIPSTICK LEVEL IS HIGH AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE.
