2017 HONDA CR-V Engine Problems

IN MID-OCTOBER 2018, THE OIL LEVEL ON OUR 2017 CR-V WAS A HALF INCH PAST THE MAX MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. OIL WAS LAST CHANGED JUST 3400 MILES AGO IN MID-MAY. I SUSPECT THIS IS DUE TO THE WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM OF FUEL DILUTING THE OIL. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM.

OIL HAS STRONG SMELL OF GAS, AND OIL LEVEL CONSISTENTLY RISES OVER TIME UNTIL OIL CHANGE COMPLETED. AROUND 500 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE THE GAS SMELL RETURNS AND CONTINUES TO GET STRONGER WHILE ALSO INCREASING THE OIL LEVEL WELL ABOVE THE LOW AND HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. HAS HAPPENED FOR OVER A YEAR SINCE I FIRST DISCOVERED MANY OTHER 2017/2018 CRV OWNERS DISCUSSING THE PROBLEM ONLINE.

ONCE WHILE MOVING THE CAR TO WASH IT, STARTED IT DIS-ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE WAS COLD. THE SECOND TIME STARTED THE CAR AND TOOK A TWENTY MINUTE,10 MILE TRIP TO COSTCO. 30 MINUTES LATER STARTED THE CR-V, AGAIN DIS-ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, THE CAR WAS WARM. TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT CHANGED THE ENGINE OIL WITH ONLY 2381 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL AND THE OIL LEVEL HAS BEEN HIGH EVEN AFTER 5000 MILES. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. NOW THAT IT IS GETTING COOLER I AM ALSO NOTICING THAT THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING WELL AND I HAVE TO HAVE THE DEFROSTER ON ALL THE TIME OR THE WINDOW FOG.

OIL-DILUTION PROBLEM ,OIL LEVEL ON DIP STICK IS WAY ABOVE HIGH MARK ON DIP STICK AND SMELL FUEL ON DIP STICK

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM BROWN'S HONDA 712 CRAIN HIGHWAY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061 ON JUNE 20,2017. ON OCTOBER 6, 2018 IBECAME AWARE OF A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THAT HAS THE NEW 1.5 L TURBOCHARGED ENGINE. I NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL, AS SHOWN ON THE DIP STICK, WAS AT LEAST 0.5 INCHES ABOVE THE TOP FILL MARK. I IMMEDIATELY DRAINED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VOLUME OF OIL WAS 4.75 QUARTS OR 28% ABOVE THE CAR'S SPECIFICATION OF 3.7 QUARTS. THE DRAINED OIL WAS VERY BLACK IN COLOR AND TO THE TOUCH FELT LESS VISCOUS THAN NEW 0-20 OIL. IT APPEARS THAT THE INCREASED VOLUME IS DUE TO GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE OIL. ON OCT 6,2018 (CURRENT ODOMETER READING11467 MILES) THE OIL HAD RUN IN THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 5400 MILES. MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER WAS AT 6000 MILES ON 4/16/2018. AS...

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL IN THE CRANKCASE, MAKING OIL VISCOSITY THINNER AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND VERIFIED BY OUR HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON OCTOBER 24, 2018. THEY SAID PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED BY COLD WEATHER AND SHORT TRIPS. WE WERE TOLD A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND WE WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 22, 2018 TO SCHEDULE A TIME FOR REPAIRS. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION, CALL THE DEALERSHIP BACK AT THAT TIME.

1.5L TURBO ENGINE. OIL IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, RAISING OIL LEVEL, REDUCING FRICTION AND INCREASING ENGINE WEAR. IN WORST CASE THE OIL LEVEL CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE STALLING, CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE. OIL SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS, INSIDE CABIN HAS STRON GAS SMELL AT TIMES. ENGINE DOES NOT HEAT ENOUGH TO WARM THE CAR IN COLD WEATHER.

THE CAR HAS A SERIOUS ENGINE ISSUE ASSOCIATED TO THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO WARM UP UP PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER STATES AND THEREFORE IS UNABLE TO OUTPUT AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CABIN WARM FOR THE OWNER. THE ENGINE IS ALSO DILUTING GASOLINE INTO THE OIL RESERVOIR LEADING TO A GASOLINE SMELL WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVELS. THIS OIL DILUTION IS GOING TO CAUSE EXTENSIVE WEAR WITHIN THE OIL RESERVOIR SINCE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE UNDER PROPER AND NORMAL CONDITIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN COLD MORNING ON WHICH I HAVE ACCELERATED AND FELT THE VEHICLE STALL AND I FEEL THE OIL/GAS MIXTURE IS TO BLAME FOR THIS DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT OF THIS ENGINE. I'M AFRAID TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THAT MAY CAUSE ME TO GET REAR ENDED AND INJURED/KILLED DUE TO STALLING THE VEHICLE WHILE...

OIL DILUTION. STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND COMING FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN COLD MORNING START. OIL LEVEL IS HIGHER AND ABOVE THE MAX LINE ON THE DIP STICK.

STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OR OIL WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED ON FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES EACH TIME, THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS BETWEEN 5,000 AND 8 THOUSAND. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 18,000 AND HAS NOT HAD A RECURRENCE SINCE BUT AT 12,000 MILES [ 4,000 MILES AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE ] I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK WAS ABOUT A HALF AN INCH OVER THE FULL LIMIT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT HAVE A FIX AT THE TIME. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AT THAT TIME AND AGAIN AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES AT WHICH TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD A PARTIAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IT NOW HAS 19,000 AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK SOONER OR LATER IT'S GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE THAT...

DEAR: NHTSA I PURCHASE A 2017 HONDA CRV-EX WITH 1.5-LITER TURBO EARTH DREAM ENGINE. DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HAVING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH MY HONDA CRV-EX. GAS SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THE OIL SMELL LIKE GAS, RISING OIL LEVELS, CAR MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES, STALLING, LOSS OF POWER AND THE HEATERS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IN COLD WEATHER. I FIRST NOTICE THESE PROBLEMS 6 MONTHS AGO. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO PREVIOUSLY WORKED AT HONDA SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM OF FUEL MIXING WITH OIL STEMS FROM ONE OR TWO CAUSES: IMPROPERLY DESIGNED FUEL INJECTORS THAT SPRAY FUEL DIRECTLY ONTO THE CYLINDER WALLS OR THE ENGINE NOT HEATING UP ENOUGH TO VAPORIZE GASOLINE LEFT OVER IN AN ENGINE CYLINDER. EITHER COULD CAUSE FUEL TO MIX WITH THE OIL, DILUTING IT AND MAKING IT LESS EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING AN ENGINE'S MOVING PARTS AND OVER TIME COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE...

ENGINE OIL DILUTED, SMELLING OF FUEL, DIRTY, AND INCREASING IN VOLUME. OIL WAS CHANGED (2ND OIL CHANGE) AND AT PROPER LEVEL 8/25/2018 AT 15,413 MILES. TODAY, AT 10/29/2018 AND 17,510 MILES, OIL LEVEL IS ABOUT 10 MM ABOVE MAX FILL MARK. BAD SMELL SOMETIMES IN CABIN.

THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO MY VEHICLE DILUTING THE OIL WITH UNBURNT GASOLINE AND CREATING FUEL ODORS IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR.. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS ~ 15000 MILES AND HAS JUST COMPLETED ITS 3RD OIL CHANGE. EACH OIL CHANGE HAS RECORDED ON THE SERVICE ORDER THE DRAINED OIL AMOUNT AND EACH TIME THE FLUID LEVEL WAS LARGER THEN WHAT WAS FILLED AT THE PRIOR OIL CHANGE. THE LAST CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP RECORDED 17 OZ MORE FLUID THEN WHAT WENT IN, THIS WAS ALL GASOLINE. THIS IS RESULTING IN GASOLINE ODORS IN THE CABIN WHICH ARE CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. IT SEEMS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT ACCUMILATING GASOLJNE VAPORS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE POSE BOTH A HEALTH HAZARD AND A POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISK . HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT REJECTS...

THERE IS FUEL GETTING ADDED INTO THE ENGINE OIL. SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE CAR AT TIMES. OIL WAS CHANGED BY DEALER 3000 MILES BEFORE AND NOW THE OIL LEVEL IS A LOT HIGHER THAN MAXIMUM AND THERE IS A CLEAR SMELL OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE OIL. THE ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY IS CONSIDERABLY DOWN. I AM SURE THIS IS KILLING LUBRICATION TO MY ENGINE. REACHED OUT TO DEALER, ONLY THING THEY CAN DO IS ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE ADDRESSED PRETTY FAST OR ENGINE WILL START SEIZING UP SOON. I EMAILED HONDA FOR A RESPONSE AND THEY ARE REFERRING ME BACK TO THE DEALER. CHINA HAS STOPPED HONDA FROM SELLING CR-V IN THEIR MARKET IN LIGHT OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM AMAZED I AM NOT SEEING A RESPONSE FROM US AUTHORITIES ON THIS IMPORTANT CONSUMER ISSUE.

OIL DILUTION: I HAD AN OIL ANALYSIS DONE ON MY 2017 HONDA CRV AND IT CAME BACK SHOWING 14% GAS IN THE OIL.

VEHICLE HAS 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE AND GAS IS DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. LEVEL HAS RISEN 10 MM ABOVE THE LAST OIL CHANGE LEVEL DONE 4/19/18, AFTER 5070 MILES. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA AS A VEHICLE STALLING PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS NOT HAPPEN TO US, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT COULD. I REPORTED IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE AT GANLEY HONDA OF N. OLMSTED, OH. THEY SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH CONSUMERS REPORTS DID AN EXTENSIVE ARTICLE ON THE 1.5 L OIL DILUTION PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT APPLE HONDA (2219, 1212 LOUCKS RD, YORK, PA 17404. 717-848-2600), HE CHECKED HIS OIL AND IT WAS A DARK COLOR AND IT SMELT LIKE FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL IN THE CRANKCASE. THE PROBLEM WAS VERIFIED BY THE SERVICE DEOARTMENT OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO ENGINE RECALLS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TT UPDATED 12/19/18*JB

2.0 LITER TURBO CHARGED ENGINE FUEL DRAWING INTO OIL INCREASING OIL LEVEL TO ABOVE MAXIMUM OIL LEVEL READING. MAY CAUSE DRIVE ABILITY PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALER

ALARM WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY. CLICKING LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB DOES NOT TURN THE ALARM OFF. INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE DOOR WAS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE ALARM OFF. THE MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR. I TURNED MY CAR ON, BUT WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THERE WERE CLICKING NOISES, THE DASH FLICKERED REPEATEDLY, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF CLICKING THE PUSH START/STOP BUTTON TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. IT WAS TOWED TO HONDA (TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR ONTO THE BED BECAUSE ALL OF THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURES WERE RANDOMLY ACTIVATING) AND HONDA REPLACED SOME WIRING AND SAID I WAS GOOD TO. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A...

GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL CAUSING OIL SMELL IN CAR AND MAKING THE OIL THIN AND OVER THE FILL LINE ON DIP STICK.

ON MARCH 1ST 2018 THE ENGINE STALLED TWICE *(WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON) IN A HEAVILY CONGESTED PART OF OUR CITY. . STRONG SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. WAS DRIVING TO VISIT FRIENDS FOR LUNCH ON OPPOSITE END (SOUTH) WHERE I WORK. THE FIRST STALL OCCURRED ON A SERVICE ROAD LEADING TO RESTAURANT. THE 2ND STALL OCCURRED DRIVING BACK FROM RESTAURANT TO WORK..

ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS. DRIVEN PRIMARILY ON THE INTERSTATE ROADS.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON HWY 86 FROM THE CITY OF IMPERIAL CA. WHEN I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 65 MPH SUDDENLY START GOING UP AND DOWN WITH THE SPEED ( GOING UP TO 67 AND DOWN TO 64) WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I ARRIVE TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER HEARING PROBLEMS WITH THE STALLING ON THE CR-V MODELS , MY HUSBAND CHECK THE OIL AND IT SMELL A LOT TO GASOLINE.

GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL. MY CRV HAS AN OIL LEVEL OVER THE FULL MARK ON THE DIP STICK AND THE OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE. THIS CAR OFTEN HAS TO BE GIVEN 40-50% THROTTLE TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE OIL LEVEL ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE SMELL YOU CANT PHOTOGRAPH.

BUTTON PLUS SPRING POPPED OUT OF THE SHIFTER WHILE IN MOTION.

OIL FROM DIPSTICK SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS. LEVEL SEEM HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLY WOOD HONDA (1909 W HILLSBORO ST, EL DORADO, AR 71730, (870) 863-5400) WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURER UPDATED THE COMPUTER AGAIN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR A THIRD TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. ALSO, WHILE INSPECTING THE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED IT WAS OVERFILLED AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300. *JS

AT 6,000 MILES ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING OIL DILUTION. OIL IS ABOVE MAX LEVEL ON DIPSTICK AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS, VEHICLE WAS COLD AND STATIONARY WHEN OIL LEVEL WAS CHECKED. CALLED A NEARBY HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE) 1,000 MILES AGO. AN AUTOMOBILE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN OIL CHANGE AFTER 1,000 MILES OF USE.

AT 15,000 MILES, I HAVE FOUND THAT GASOLINE IS CONTAMINATING THE CRANKCASE OIL EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE OR DRIVE VERY SHORT DISTANCES. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX AND HAS RECEIVED NO GUIDANCE FROM HONDA.

THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE DEVELOPS HIGH OIL LEVEL READINGS DUE TO FUEL CONTAMINATION. I HAD SEVERAL (12) SYSTEM FAILURE NOTICES APPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY "FOUND THAT OIL LEVEL WAS OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". ALSO NOTICED THAT IN COLD WEATHER, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT DEFROSTER IS NOT WARM ENOUGH AND CAN'T KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR RESULTING IN POOR OR NO VISIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP. DOES NOT WARM UP AT IDLE. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP WHILE IN MOTION. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO GET THE ENGINE UP TO A PROPER TEMPERATURE IS TO TURN OFF ECON MODE, DRIVE IN SPORT MODE AND DO NOT TURN HEATER ON.

OUR CRV IS ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL. WE HAVE THREE EVIDENCES OF THIS: 1) THE OIL LEVEL IS MUCH TOO HIGH; 2) THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS; 3) THE ENGINE FROM TIME TO TIME HAS NOT RUN OR IDLED PROPERLY, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY STALLING. YESTERDAY I TOOK THE CAR IN TO OUR DEALER AND REQUESTED AN OIL CHANGE UNDER WARRANTY AS WE VIEW THIS AS A DEFECT, AND HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THIS. THE DEALER GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO A ONE-TIME FREE OIL CHANGE AS A COURTESY, BUT I FEEL HONDA SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS. NO MATTER WHAT THEIR EXPERTS SAY, GASOLINE IN THE OIL CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE! WE ARE TOLD THAT A FIX IS IN THE WORKS, BUT HONDA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THE PROBLEM!

MY CAR HAS ABOUT 8800 MILES. HAD THE ENGINE OIL FIRST CHANGED AT 6100 MILES. SINCE THEN, THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL KEEPS RISING DURING NORMAL USE. THE OIL LEVEL IS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE FULL LINE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG, AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD PROBLEMS. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THEY STATED THE FOLLOWING: "OIL CONSISTENCY WAS LIKE WATER AND SMELLS OF GAS. OIL REGISTERED OVERFILLED. OIL IS ALSO LEAKING FROM REAR MAIN SEAL AREA. RECOMMEND HAVING THIS CHECKED BY HONDA." IF YOU LOOK ONLINE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT OIL DILUTION IN THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. CONSUMER REPORTS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF OIL DILUTION, SOME ENGINES HAVE BEEN STALLING WHILE ON THE ROAD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A QUALITY ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE...

ENGINE OIL BAY SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE BECAUSE OF THE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. MY DAY IS FILLED WITH SHORT DRIVES SO THE GASOLINE WILL NOT EVAPORATE.

AFTER READING A CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ABOUT GASOLINE IN THE OIL, ASKING OWNERS TO CHECK OIL LEVEL, I DID IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOUT ONE INCH ABOVE THE MAXIMUM MARK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TIP OF THE DIPSTICK SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IN THE MORNING BEFORE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN SINCE YESTERDAY. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE OF THE DIPSTICK.

VERY HIGH READING ON OIL DIPSTICK. STRONG GAS SMELL AS WELL. HONDA HAS AWARE THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALER DENIES THE SMELL AND ONLY LOWER THE OIL LEVEL WITHOUT PERFORM OIL CHANGE.

SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL WHEN I CHECKED IT. ONLY 4K MILES ON IT.

GASOLINE GETS INTO ENGINE OIL. OIL DIPSTICK SHOWS OIL LEVEL .5 TO 1.0 QUARTS OVER FULL LEVEL AFTER 2200 MILES OF DRIVING. OIL IS VERY BLACK AND WATERY AND SMELLS OF GASOLINE.

THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED WHILE CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR FROM THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL DIP STICK AND THE OIL FILLER CAP. ALSO THE OIL LEVEL SEEMS TO INCREASE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. A SAMPLE OF THE OIL WAS SENT TO OIL ANALYZERS INC AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE BY THE OWNER. THE REPORT IS ATTACHED. NOTE THAT THE REPORT INDICATES FUEL DILUTION GREATER THAT 5% BUT IN THE COMMENT SECTION THE IS NO NOTED ENGINE WEAR METALS FOUND THAT IS ABOVE NORMAL. HONDA NORTH AMERICA WAS NOTIFIED AND CASE #09009335 WAS GENERATED. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED BY U.S. POSTAL SERVICE CERTIFIED MAIL. THIS LETTER IS ATTACHED.

GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL.

I HAVE OBSERVED HIGH OIL LEVELS AND RAW FUEL ODORS ON THE DIP STCK, ALONG WITH RAW FUEL ODORS IN THE CABIN. I KNOW HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS OFFERED NO GUIDANCE. TELL THEY HAVE A FIX IN PLACE, HONDA SHOULD BE GIVING FREE OIL CHANGES TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE AND PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR.

GASOLINE IS ENTERING INTO OIL. LOST POWER ON INTERSTATE COULD ONLY GO 12 MPH TOOK OFF RAMP CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD US TO SHUT OFF CAR AND START IT BACK UP. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP.

2017 CRV AWD 2 MONTHS INTO OWNING ALL LIGHTS ON DASH LIKE BRAKE SYSTEM ENGINE AIR BAGS, TIRER, BRAKE. I SEE SPOTS OF OIL DRIVEWAY BUT OIL IS ALWAYS FULL. STALLS SOMETIMES WHEN TAKING OFF. THE OTHER DAY THE BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING THE SUV TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, AND COULDNT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. THE SUV SWAG SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING BACKEND TO SLIDE SISDE TO SIDE. MAKING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP THE SUV ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THE DASH LIGHTS ALL OF THEM ON AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REST. SMELL GAS INSIDE THE SUV. I HAD A 2006 HONDA CIVIC BROUGHT IT NEW I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF IT GOING 300,000 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS THATS WHY I CHOSE TO GET ANOTHER HONDA, BUT WITH 2017 HONDA CRV HAS BEEN HELL WITH ALL THE ISSUES AND...

OIL DILUTION ISSUE. UPON CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL, NOTICED THAT LEVEL WAS 1/2" ABOVE TOP OF DIPSTICK MEASUREMENT AREA. ENGINE DIPSTICK ALSO SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY NOTED THE EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AS WELL, TOOK PICTURES, AND IS CONTACTING HONDA. DEALER STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A FIX EXPECTED IN NOVEMBER. DEALER CHANGED ENGINE OIL IN THE MEAN TIME TO BRING ENGINE OIL TO NORMAL LEVEL AND VISCOSITY. PREVIOUSLY NOTED WITH DEALER THAT SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT IN VEHICLE CABIN. UNKNOWN FIX AT THAT TIME AND I STATED THAT I WOULD BRING IT BACK IF IT CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE.

I HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE THREE TIMES RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING. I CALLED THE HONDA HEADQUARTERS. THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THEY ARE WORKING ON. THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. THEY CLAIM GAS LEAKS INTO THE OIL FILTER WHICH CAN AFFECT THE ENGINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY SND A POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THE SHORT TIME I AM DRIVING MY CAR. MY BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 7 MONTHS AFTER I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY BATTERY DIED. RECENTLY THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB BROKE OFF WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. I WAS DROPPING OFF A PASSENGER. IT WAS REPLACED.

OUR 2017 HONDA CRV KEEPS SHOWING OVER FULL EVEN THOUGH NO OIL WAS ADDED AND HAS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL TO IT. I FEEL FUEL MIXING IN THE OIL COULD BE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THE ENGINE COULD ALSO SUFFER MAJOR DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THIS.

I HAVE DONE TWO OIL CHANGES AT HOME THIS PAST YEAR AND EACH TIME I HAVE EXTRACTED MORE FLUIDS THAN THE LISTED OIL CAPACITY IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I READ AN ARTICLE FROM CONSUMER REPORTS REPORTING THAT THERE MAYBE GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE SYMPTOM OF OVER FILLED ENGINE OIL IS A COMMON ONE AS REPORTED IN THE ARTICLE.
