NHTSA Complaint #11141561 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

TO MY REGRET, I JUST PURCHASED THE 2018 CRV EX 2WD YESTERDAY, 10/19/2018 BRAND NEW WITH 255 MILES ON IT. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS ON THE TURBO CHARGED 1.5 L 190 HP ENGINE HAVING THE POSSIBILITY GAS IN THE OIL TANK, I REGRET THIS MAY BE TRUE. I FOUND THIS ON INFORMATION OUT ON CONSUMER REPORTS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND GREW ANXIOUS. THIS CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE. THIS MORNING BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL. I REMOVED THE DIPSTICK, AND IT HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE PRESENT. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND ALL BUT ONE NOT BY HONDA. NEVER SMELLED GASOLINE ON ANY OIL DIPSTICK IN MY LIFE. BUT I NEVER HAD A TURBO ENGINE EITHER. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT KNOW HOW UNSAFE THIS CONDITION IN THE DAYS THAT FOLLOW. BUT I BELIEVE THIS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD.
