Consumer Description

STARTED SMELLING AN ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE THEN NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL WAS OVER THE FULL MARK. THE DIPSTICK SMELLED LIKE FUEL MIXED WITH THE OIL. I HAD TAKEN THE SAME VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. DURING THE COLD MONTHS THE VEHICLE NEVER REALLY WARMED UP THE HEAT GUAGE WOULD HARDLY WARM UP WITH ONE BAR AND SOMETIMES THE BARS WOULD GO DOWN AS I DROVE WITH THE HEAT ON FULL BLAST. I TOOK IT BACK ON APRIL 19. 2019 AND FOUND GASOLINE WAS IN FACT MIXING IN WITH THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK WAS A QUART OVER FULL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX OUT FROM HONDA.
