Consumer Description

FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE OIL SUMP CAUSING OIL DILUTION. THE CRV 1.5-LITER TURBO ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS. THIS IS DUE TO GASOLINE SEEPING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE DURABILITY OF THE 1.5-LITER TURBO ENGINE AND ABOUT MY VEHICLE POTENTIALLY STALLING, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER HERE IN ILLINOIS. A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA SAYS THAT I NEED TO DRIVE IT MORE TO ALLOW ENGINE HEAT TO DISSIPATE THE FUEL. TRUE I DON'T PUT A LOT OF MILES ON MY CAR, BUT HOW OFTEN I DRIVE MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE FACTORED IN WHEN DESIGNING A SAFE AND RELIABLE CAR. FUEL DILUTED OIL WILL NOT PROPERLY LUBRICATE CRITICAL ENGINE PARTS. WHEN I HECK MY OIL, THE LEVEL RISES ON MY DIPSTICK. THERE IS ALSO A SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING OIL CHANGES TO FIX THAT. THIS HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY OCCURRING.SINCE I BOUGHT THE CRV (BOUGHT IN MARCH 2020).
