NHTSA Complaint #11145159 — 2017 HONDA CR-V

2017 HONDA CRV WITH 1.5 L TURBO 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. HEALTH HAZARD: NOTED GASOLINE FUMES IN CABIN AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE FUMES ARE COMING IN THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. HAPPENING IN BOTH COLD AND HOT WEATHER. CAR HAS 30K MILES ON IT. FUMES NOTICED WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY AFTER STARTING IT. ALSO FOUND TO HAVE GAS ENTERING OIL PAN, DILUTING THE OIL, AND CAUSING HIGH OIL LEVELS. SIMILAR REPORTS FROM MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ENGINE AND APPARENTLY A MAJOR RECALL IN CHINA FOR THE PROBLEM. AM CONCERNED ABOUT HYDROCARBON LEVELS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN WHICH CAN BE A MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD. JUST BECAUSE THE FUMES DISSIPATE AFTER A MINUTE OR SO DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE HYDROCARBON LEVELS IN THE CABIN ARE NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE. OTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS PREMATURE WEAR ON THE ENGINE DUE TO GAS MIXING WITH OIL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS REPORTS OF CRVS WITH THIS PROBLEM STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND FAILING TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. HONDA USA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AS OF THIS DATE NOR HAVE THEY OFFERED ANY SOLUTIONS. I FEEL LIKE I WASTED OVER $30K ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOW UNSAFE AND DESTINED TO PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
