NHTSA Complaint #11233009 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

THIS IS ABOUT MY 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH AROUND 14,700 MILES AT PRESENT.MY WHOLE FAMILY AND A FRIEND WENT TO YAKIMA,WA FOR CHERRY PICKING.ON OUR WAY THERE FROM SEATTLE,WA WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LAKAS) SUDDENLY A WARNING FROM THE SCREEN APPEARED THAT SAYS..."POWER REDUCED - POWER GRILLE PROBLEM" AND THEN WE CAN NOT ACCELERATE THE SPEED. LUCKILY WE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY FOR EMERGENCY PARK AND WAIT FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE WARNING GOES OUT FROM THE SCREEN. WHEN IT GOES OUT WE START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING AGAIN AND AFTER 7 TO 10 MINUTES THE WARNING GOES ON AGAIN ,STOP AND GOES AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE ACC AND LKAS AND DRIVE IN A LOWER SPEED 60 TO 65 MPH IN A 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE.THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL FILL COMPARTMENT AND THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL.GASOLINE LEAKS TO THE ENGINE OIL COMPARTMENT.WHEN I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK , THE OIL IS DRIPPING LIKE WATER WITH BLACKISH COLOR BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE MIXED TO THE OIL. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR GOING TO THEM INSTEAD THE TOWING COMPANY (AAA) DO THE JOB TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.AND THE DAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE GASOLINE I SMELL FROM THE COMPARTMENT IS NORMAL DUE TO COMBUSTION. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK TO PROVE TO THEM THAT IT SMELLS GASOLINE AND DRIPPING LIKE WATER WITH BLACKISH COLOR (THIS IS A NEWLY CHANGED PURE SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL /90% REMAINING).THEY DID NOT CHECK THE DIPSTICK AND TOLD ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND TOLD ME TO IT'S NORMAL.THEY SAID IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I'M JUST HOPING THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED VERY SOON.
