2018 HONDA CR-V Engine Problems

GAS SMELL!!!!! GAS IN THE OIL!!!!! NO RECALL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

INITIAL OIL CHANGE ON 2018 HONDA CR-V EX WITH 1.5 TURBO ENGINE AT 2303 MILES. ONE WEEK AFTER CHANGING OIL NOTICED OIL LEVEL HAD INCREASED OVER 1/8" ON DIPSTICK AND THAT OIL ON DIPSTICK SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE (OIL LEVEL CHECK WAS PERFORMED SEVERAL HOURS AFTER DRIVING). DILUTION OF OIL WITH GASOLINE IS OBVIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL TO CONTINUED ENGINE OPERATION - THEREFORE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY NEW VEHICLE. RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE AND IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS CLEARLY PROVES THAT HONDA DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC DESIGN FLAW (NOT IN AMERICA ANYWAY). APPEARS ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, LEMON LAWS OR WAITING FOR HONDA TO MAN UP. THE OBVIOUS MISINFORMATION AND CORRUPTION OF THE MANUFACTURER TOWARD THEIR CUSTOMERS, CONCERNING THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE, IS (IMHO) DISGUSTING! IT IS NOT NORMAL OR IN ANYWAY SAFE OR OK FOR ENGINE CRANKCASES TO FILL UP WITH GASOLINE....EVER!!!...

GASOLINE LEAKING INTO OIL. CHECKING DIPSTICK GIVES VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS. AS YET NO STALLS. 5000 MILES ON OIL AND THE OIL LEVEL IS AT OR ABOVE FULL. CAR IS DRIVEN IN MODERATE CLIMATE AND FOR TYPICAL MIXTURE OF TRIPS.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN. THE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WE STEPPED IN GAS AND THE SMELL WAS FROM OUR SHOES. AFTER MORE HEADACHES AND RESEARCH, WE ARE REALIZING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CR-V'S. ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS UPON STARTING. WE PARK THE CAR IN A GARAGE. WHILE AT WORK, THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE. I WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT AND THE ENGINE WAS HESITANT TO START AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO START A CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT LAGGED AND AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES DURING THE WINTER. EACH INCIDENT WAS A SEPARATE OCCASION. EACH TIME WAS AFTER...

WE WERE DRIVING FROM BRIDGEPORT,WV TO NEW JERSEY ON 2/9/19. FOUR HOURS INTO THE TRIP CARALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN AND ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK AT THAT POINT. CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGH WAY. WE PULLED OVER CALLED AAA SERVICE AND TOYOTA. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO HONDA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ THEY FIX MULTIPLE DTC UPDATED PO302 RELATED RECALL, UPDATED PCM/TCU NO MORE MISFIRE. CAR NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS WEEK ITS TWICE.

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT STARTED VIBRATING, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BURNING SMELL OCCURRED, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY VERY ABRUPTLY. IT WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AS SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT VERY FAST SPEEDS. REPORTED THE FIRST OCCURRENCE TO THE MCGRATH CITY HONDA, CHICAGO, IL IN JANUARY 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES AND THEY REPLACED SOME FUEL SENSORS AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE (DEFECTIVE PART). SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2019, COULD NOT TAKE PHOTOS AS THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. REPORTED THE THIRD INCIDENT IN MARCH 2019 ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT PICTURES TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE...

OIL DILUTED BY GAS. GAS SMELL IN OIL. ALSO CAUSES OVERFILL OF CRANKCASE. GAS IN OIL DILUTES OIL CAUSING EXCESSIVE AND UNNECESSARY WEAR AND TEAR.

FUEL IN OIL

SECOND TIME THIS CAR'S WARNING SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATED SINCE HAVING THE RECALLED A/C PART REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING (HWY SPEEDS 65+ MPH)THE CAR IS LOSING ACCELERATION ABILITY IN TRAFFIC AND THE DASH IS READING: POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT TELL WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT NOW THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE SINCE FEB 2019.

ENGINE (SPECIFICALLY COOLANT USED FOR HEATING THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AIR) DOES NOT HEAT UP ENOUGH IN COLD WEATHER FOR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTERS TO WORK PROPERLY UNTIL CAR HAS BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL MILES. WHEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 40MPH IN WEATHER BELOW 32F., ENGINE TEMPERATURE REMAINS COLD, THEREFORE PROVIDING TO HEAT FOR DEFROSTING WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT HELP TO LET VEHICLE "WARM UP" PRIOR TO DRIVING BECAUSE WHEN IDLING THE ENGINE NEVER GETS WARM (TEMPERATURE INDICATOR REMAINS ON COLDEST INDICATED SETTING). THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WINDOWS ARE NOT CLEAR FOR DRIVING. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT OCCURS ANYTIME OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH -30F, AND THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURES GET COLDER.

FUEL IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL SYSTEM. OIL HAS VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. OIL DILUTION IS DOING UNTOLD DAMAGE TO ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOPARK HONDA (LOCATED AT 3630 OLD RALEIGH RD, CARY, NC 27511, (919) 467-4747) FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE OIL DILUTION WITH FUEL DUE TO A SOFTWARE SETTING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE WOULD BE A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL DIPSTICK, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE HIGH MARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO A FUEL ODOR ON THE DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAIRDON'S HONDA OF BURIEN (LOCATED AT 15026 1ST AVE S, BURIEN, WA 98148, (206) 489-2608) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE OIL DILUTION AFFECTING SIMILAR VEHICLES. AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,358.

GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE OIL, THE ENGINE OIL IS OVERFILLED, AND SMELL THE GASOLINE. SENT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER, AND THEY DID OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME THAT HONDA DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION NOW.I AM WONDERING IF IT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR?

OIL LEVEL ON DIP STICK IS ABOUT 1 AND 1/2 INCHES ABOVE HIGH MARK. OIL WAS CHANGED 6639 MILES AGO. CURRENT MILAGE IS 14200.

GASOLINE WAS CONTAMINATING THE OIL AND CAUSING AN OVERFILLED CRANKCASE CONDITION. ON OCCASION GASOLINE FUMES ENTERED THE CABIN IN JANUARY A HONDA "FIX" WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AS PART OF A HONDA NOTIFICATION. THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND A NEW FILTER INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME. SINCE THEN, THE OIL LEVEL HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED WITH THE SAME OVER FULL CONTAMINATION AND GASOLINE FUME PROBLEMS IN EXISTENCE. THE HONDA "FIX" DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BOTH THE DEALER AND HONDA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CONTINUING PROBLEM HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED OR DISCUSSED, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2018.

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND THE SERVICE COMPLETED BY THE DEALER FOR THE ISSUE OF FUEL GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE 1500 MILES OF WHICH 1000 MILES WAS HIGWAY TRAVEL OVER 2 DAYS. NOW THE OIL DIP STICK LEVEL IS ONE INCH ABOVE THE 'MAX FILL DOT'. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES 'DO NOT FILL THE ENGINE OIL ABOVE THE UPPER MARK.' 'OVER FLLING THE ENGINE OIL CAN RESULT IN LEAKS AND ENGINE DAMAGE.'

OIL LEVEL ON DIP STICK IS 1/2 ' ABOVE THE FULL MARK. HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE FACTORIES FIX IN JANUARY 2019. 2500 MILES LATER SAME THING OIL LEVEL IS A 1/2 ' ABOVE HIGH MARK ON DIP STICK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. THEY HANDED ME A PIECE OF PAPER THAT STATES THAT THEY CONSIDER IT NORMAL DILUTION FROM UNTURNED GAS THAT DRAINS DOWN THE CYLINDER WALL AND INTO THE OIL PAN.

TERRIBLE GAS SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. VERY STRONG GAS ODOR ALMOST ENOUGH TO GIVE US A HEADACHE. WE GOOGLED GAS SMELL ISSUE FOR A 2018 CRV AND READ INFORMATION ABOUT CHECKING OIL TO SEE IF THE STRONG GAS SMELL IS COMING THERE. OIL DIPSTICK SMELLED VERY STRONG FOR GAS. PLAN TO CONTACT HONDA AND THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE.

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OVERFILLED OIL LEVELS WITH A GAS MIXED WITH ENGINE OIL AND GAS SMELL, THIS IS DUE TO GAS LEAK INTO OIL RESERVOIRS. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN OF LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AND HEALTH RISK CAUSE FROM GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF VEHICLE. NHTSA TO REQUIRED HONDA TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO GET IT FIX . MY VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 6100 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CR-V DOWN THE COUNTRY ROADS IN MY AREA THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND LOOSE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE TRYING TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE VEHICLE BEGAN LOOSING POWER. WITH THE GAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE FIVE MILES AN HOUR. FINDING A LOCATION TO PULL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS CRACKLING AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS ALLOWED SHOWED THAT THE SMELL WAS WORSE ON THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DEEMED IN OPERABLE. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER; HOWEVER, I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THIS VEHICLE WAS ONLY OFF THE LOT FOR THREE MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 800 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA CR-V 1.5L SUV (WITH 4200 MILES ODOMETER READING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) ON SATURDAY, MARCH 2 ON IOWA STATE HIGHWAY 92 GOING APPROXIMATE 62MPH AND WERE 25 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ENGINE POWER UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC COMING BEHIND US ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 6MPH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING WHEN ANY EFFORT TO ACCELERATE WAS MADE. WE CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE A 4 HOUR WAIT FOR A TOW. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS 16 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO FAHRENHEIT . IT WAS 3 HOURS BEFORE A TOW SERVICE ARRIVED. OUR VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SMART HONDA IN DES MOINES, IOWA WHICH WAS THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT...

OBSERVED HIGH ENGINE OIL LEVEL; ALMOST AN INCH OVER THE HIGH LEVEL MARK ON DIPSTICK WITH GAS ODOR. HONDA ADVISED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. TOOK IT TO DEALER ON 2/4/19 AT 21152 MILES. THEY FOUND OIL LEVEL HIGH WITH GAS SMELL. BUT DID NOT DO ANYTHING SAYING THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUED BY HONDA AS SERVICE BULLETIN 18-114. BUT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY UPDATE. HONDA CASE MANAGER ADVISED TO TAKE IT BACK IF STALLS OR ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ENGINE LUBRICATION PROBLEMS AND THEREBY REDUCED LIFE OF ENGINE AND POSSIBLE EMISSION PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRES. CONCERNED DANGER OF VEHICLE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AS WELL. ON COLD START ENGINE VIBRATION FEELS AT THE STEERING. TAKES TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO HEAT UP.

2018 HONDA CR-V TOURING EDITION WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT IN KANSAS CITY, MO. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE INVADED THE CABIN. AS I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME, I KEPT DRIVING, THINKING IT MAY HAVE BEEN FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SMELL REMAINED. WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE HOOD, AND IT WAS CLEAR MY ENGINE WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FUMES. HAD TO KEEP THE GARAGE OPEN FOR FEAR THE FUMES COULD IGNITE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, AND IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOVE THE FILL LINE. THE CONTACT ALSO SMELLED FUEL MIXED WITH THE OIL. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO TRACY HONDA (3450 AUTO PLAZA WAY, TRACY, CA 95304, (209) 832-1400). THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF FUEL MIXING WITH THE OIL AND DID NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AT SEVERAL POINTS IN TIME DURING NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, I SMELLED A FOUL ODOR IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THERE WAS A RECALL IN WHICH THEY APPLIED THE FIX. EVEN NOW, THERE APPEARS TO BE A FOUL SMELL ONCE IN A WHILE. THE HEATING SYSTEM TAKES A LONG TIME TO HEAT UP IN THE WINTER. IF IN PARK/IDLE MODE, THE HEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE LESS HOT FOR SOME REASON.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SHUT DOWN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAD LOST ALL POWER AND IT HAD 4525 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE IT UP FOR A RECALL FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH A/C CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ; DTC P0300, P0301,P0302,P0303,P0304,OR P0172. I HAD TO CALL HONDA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VEHICLE WAS HAULED ON A FLAT BED TRAILER TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. THIS RECALL ALSO INVOLVED AN OIL CHANGE, OF WHICH THEY WERE MAKING THE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE FILTER, THEY WOULD CHANGE THE FILTER WITH THE OIL CHANGE, BUT NOT PAY FOR THE FILTER WHEN CHANGING THE OIL. THERE IS ALSO AN OIL DISILLUSION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS GAS GOING INTO THE OIL CAUSING A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL AND THINNING OUT THE OIL. ALSO THERE IS...

GAS GETTING MIXED IN WITH OIL HAD CR-V AT DEALERSHIP AND SAID THERE WAS GAS MIXED IN WITH THE OIL SO THEY CALL HONDA AND THEY TOLD THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL

FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN STARTING DURING COOLER WEATHER. GASOLINE PRESENT IN THE ENGINE OIL, WHICH DILUTES THE OIL AND RESULTS IN LEVELS HIGHER THAN RECOMMENDED BY MANUFACTURER. CONCERNS DOCUMENTED WITH A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER. AMENDING SOFTWARE HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. WE WERE HOLD THAT HONDA ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES WITHOUT A RESOLUTION.

THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO EXPERIENCING THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE NOW SINCE THE GAS IN THE OIL IS CHANGING THE VISCOSITY OF THE OIL.

I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL BEING OVER FULL IN THE FALL OF 2018, AT THAT TIME WE HAD ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 7237 MILES I HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE OUR DEALER ON OCTOBER 15, 2018. I BECAME AWARE OF THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM HONDA REGARDING SERVICE BULLETIN 18-114. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND IT TO BE WAY OVER-FILLED ON DECEMBER 1, 2018. I VISITED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT A PERMANENT FIX WAS ON ITS WAY AND I SHOULD WAIT FOR A FORMAL RECALL, HOWEVER I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONG TERM AFFECT ON OUR CAR'S ENGINE SO I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND EXPRESSED MY DISPLEASURE WITH THE DELAY. THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR TWO LATER INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM THE RECALL WORK WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON JANUARY 8, 2019. I CHECKED THE OIL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ENGINE OIL EVIDENT ON THE DIPSTICK, THE OIL PAN WAS SEEPING AT THE CRANK PULLEY, AND THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK AT THE BELL HOUSING. CLEO BAY HONDA (LOCATED AT 3907 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILLEEN, TX 76543, (254) 690-7355) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,835.

THE ENGINE FAILS TO REACH FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. GAS IS FINDING ITS WAY INTO THE OIL PAN AND PRODUCING AN OVERFILL CONDITION. THE CABIN SMELLS OF GASOLINE. THE ELECTRONICS ARE UNREILABLE AND ARE OFTEN OF LINE

GAS GETS INTO THE OIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS

OIL DILUTION PROBLEM - I SMELL GAS FROM EXHAUST, OIL DIP STICK , CABIN AND WHEN I OPENED THE OIL CAP , ALSO VEHICLE IS NOT MAINTAINING THE PROPER TEMPERATURE WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HEAT ON. THIS MAYBE BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS VEHICLE AND ENGINE.

2018 HONDA CRV HAS OIL DILUTED BY GAS AND CAUSES THE CRANKCASE OIL TO BE OVERFILLED. ALSO SMELL OF RAW GAS IN CABIN. DEALER HAS NO FIX. I GOT THEM TO DO THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT NO CHANGE. PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN APRIL 2018 AND IMMEDIATELY HAD THE ABOVE MENTION PROBLEMS. HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND NO IMPROVEMENT. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AND SAFETY TO CAR WITH THAT MUCH GAS IN THE OIL

2018 HONDA CRV EXL. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERNS TO A OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE. *AS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING INTO THE OIL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR KEPT RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING. BOSAK HONDA MICHIGAN CITY (710 HWY 20, MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360, 1-219-874-4293) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SENT NOTIFICATION OF CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 1245A2 FOR A PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE DEALER SERVICED THE MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN, WHICH WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER RECALL, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED ANY FUEL SYSTEM OR ENGINE RECALLS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,800. *TT*JB

OIL DILUTION IN ENGINE. ONLY 1,000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE MY OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS AND IS 1/4" ABOVE MAX LEVEL. HONDA SAYS NO FURTHER FIXES AFTER THE REPAIR ALREADY COMPLETED. TOLD VEHICLE IS AT RISK FOR STALLING AND TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE.

NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS ON THE OIL DIPSTICK ALONG WITH A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE CABIN AREA. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAUSES THE OCCUPANTS TO BECOME SICK. THE SMELL IS NORMALLY WHEN ITS SITTING, IDLING OR WHEN YOU FIRST START IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.

THE ENGINE OIL HAS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AND GETS DIRTY SOON AFTER AN OIL CHANGE.

FUEL IN THE OIL, SLOW WARMUP AND STALLING

THIS CAR HAS SUFFERED FROM OIL DILUTION WITH GASOLINE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2018. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE OIL AT MY EXPENSE AND CLAIMED THAT INCREASING OIL IN THE CRANKCASE IS NORMAL AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED. THE OIL LEVEL INCREASES ABOUT 1 QUART FOR EVERY 2000 MILES DRIVEN AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ALL AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN SHORT TRIPS OR EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVES.

SEVERE OIL DILUTION IN 1.5L TURBO ENGINE. LIVE/ DRIVE IN WARM CLIMATE (NEW ORLEANS). LEVEL ON DIPSTICK CONTINUALLY CLIMBS UPWARD TO GREATER THAN 21MM ABOVE FULL MARK WHICH TRANSLATES TO 24.7% DILUTION. WE DO NOT DRIVE SHORT TRIPS...ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS UP TO NORMAL WITHIN 3 BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE AND ABOUT 3 MINUTES AFTER STARTUP. WE DRIVE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS

JUST PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA TOURING CRV WITH 300 MILES THAT I PURCHASE AND THERE'S ONLY THREE DAYS OLD THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AND HAS LOUD KNOCKING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE. MY OIL LOOKS TO BE OVER FILLED AND I AM SMELLING GASOLINE I BELIEVE ON THE OIL CAP. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN MORE LOUDER OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE FEELING OF LOSS POWER WHEN I AM DRIVING.

AFTER HAVING A MANDATORY UPDATE DONE BY HONDA JANUARY 3 2019 I NO LONGER HAVE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE WHEN ITS BELOW FREEZING. MY WINDOWS CANNOT STAY DEFROSTED OR SAFE TO SEE OUT OF. I HAVE TO KEEP PULLING OVER TO SCRAPE WINDOWS DURING STORMS. ALSO FEBRUARY 14 I NOTICED MY ENGINE RAPPING BADLY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER. MY ENGINE OIL WAS 1 INCH OVER THE HIGH FILL LINE. HONDA CORPORATE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT IT'S 100% NORMAL AND FINE, AND OIL DILUTION IS NORMAL AND FINE. MY ENGINE IS RAPPING BADLY, I HAVE HAD COWORKERS WHO ARE ASE CERTIFIED LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT'S ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL AND PROBABLY SOON. MY OIL WAS LAST CHANGED 1600 MILES AGO, AND IN THAT TIME IT GOT 1 INCH OVER FILLED, GASOLINE IS IN MY OIL NOW. HONDA...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROM TIME TO TIME. UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL THERE IS GASOLINE IN THE OIL. IT IS DARK MILKY LOOKING THAT SMELLS OF GASOLINE, AND AFTER TOUCHING IT WITH YOUR FINGER CLEARLY YOUR FINGER SMELLS OF GASOLINE AS WELL.

OIL DILUTION IN 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. STRONG SMELL OF FUEL OUTSIDE VEHICLE. ONLY HAVE <9000 MILES AND HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OIL 3 TIMES AS LEVEL GOES UP ANS SMELLS OF GAS. CURRENTLY HAVE 300 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE AND CAN ALREADY SEE LEVEL RISING. ALL DRIVING IS 20 PLUS MILE TRIPS.

CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT HEATING UP PROPERLY. IN COLD WEATHER WHEN IDELING WOULD NOT MOVE FROM COLD POSITION, THEREFORE PRODUCE NO HEAT. WHEN DRIVING IT AT 35MILES AN HOUR GAUGE WOULD GO UP SOME ,AND WHEN SLOWING TO 25 MILES GAUGE WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO COLD, WITH NO HEAT. CAR WOULD ALSO STALL AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND LEFT IN PARK WHEN I WOULD GET IN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WOULD ALL HAPPEN DURING COLD WEATHER. HONDA DID THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY FOUND THE GAS AND OIL MIXTURE PROBLEM. DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DID THE RECALL UPDATE ON CONTROL PANEL AND SOFTWARE.GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPPING DOWN TO COLD AND LOSS OF HEAT,WHEN DRIVING SHORT TRIPS. HONDA SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM HONDA (LOCATED AT 4613 E LINCOLN HWY, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410, (219) 947-3900) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: APAS12142018901 (EQUIPMENT, ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.
