In late November/early December, I began to smell gasoline fumes in the cabin of my 2016 Honda CRV. The problem has replicated after the vehicle has been driven for at least 20 minutes and then left idling. On January 7th when my car was dropped off at lia, I received a phone call within an hour stating that they replicated the smell. Lia Honda had my car for 35 days. On February 10th, they contacted me and told me they had not been able to replicate and I needed to pick up my vehicle. On February 21, I met with the district manger who stated that it is a known issue with 2016 Honda crvs but there is not currently a fix.after speaking with his field engineer, the dm said they currently have 46 cases of gasoline fumes entering the passager cabin. Honda corporate also admitted that they currently do not have a fix for the fumes being released into the passenger cabin. Lia Honda replaced the charcoal canister in an attempt to fix the release of fumes into the vehicle. On March 18, the fumes returned after an attempted repair. On March 20, lia refused to service my vehicle.

Strong smell of gas in my new 2016 Honda CR-V when I start it up and it smells for awhile while driving it then when I stop and start I smell it all over again. I'm worried about the safety of driving this car. Read online a lot of 2016 Honda CR-V owners have the same issue with no resolve after taking it to the Honda dealer. I'm taking mine to the dealer on Monday but very worried this could be a safety issue that could involve a fire or worse. I'm planning on driving this vehicle on a long trip this summer now im very concerned for our safety. Very disappointed in Honda and purchasing this new vehicle. I bought a new vehicle so I do not have car problems.

Purchased a 2016 CR-V in November 2016 and within a day the cabin of our brand new vehicle fills with noxious gas fumes from a cold start. The fumes are very strong, after driving the car the fuel smell will lessen and on occasion the smell will dissipate completely. The smell was so strong we had to roll the windows down. The vehicle has been in the service department three times. First time they could not duplicate the smell. This attempt was not from a cold start. Second time we left the car overnight so they could evaluate from a cold start. The service tech stated he could smell the odor in the cabin. Honda tech was called by the technician and I had to complete an online questionnaire about the complaint. The service writer said at this time there is no fix for the problem and we could take our car home and wait for Honda to reply. Third time we basically said we did not want this car if you cannot fix it and they gave us a loaner car, a 2015 CR-V which does not have any odor. Still waiting on the dealership to call us with a solution. This was our first Honda purchase. Really wish I would have stuck with my previous car manufacturer.

Gasoline smell in cab. We have had a strong gasoline odor the last few months in the cab of our 2016 Honda CR-V. the Honda dealer has not heard of this happening but there are quite a few class action lawsuits against Honda for this same issue. Honda, please figure this out so we don't die! www.crvownersclub.com/forums/98-2012-2016-official-specs-features-etc-gen-4/110761-2016-Honda-CRV-gas-smell-fills-cabin-very-strong.html https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/343631-Honda-class-action-filed-unfixed-CR-V-gas-odor-problem/

There is a strong noxious gasoline smell filling the cabin when operating the vehicle. Apparently Honda has know of this issue for some time and has received numerous complains about the problem in the last year. Despite this, they knowing sold us the vehicle without disclosing this potential problem. I took it to the dealer we bought it from (hopkins Honda in Minnesota) and they confirmed the smell and acknowledged that this is a confirmed problem, but stated that there is no fix and that Honda is trying to find a solution. In the meantime my family and I are forced to inhale this fumes while operating the vehicle which has resulted in headaches and nausea. I am extremely concerned about the health of my family.

Since the date of purchase we have smelled fuel within the passenger area coming from the fresh air vents. We must actually air out our garage (which has no other sources of gasoline within) in order to get the smell out of the garage. This process becomes very difficult during our Wisconsin winter. The dealership implied that they are waiting for a fix to the problem but american Honda motor co. In California believes the vehicle is performing as expected. At no time is the odor of fuel or exhaust in the passenger cabin acceptable or safe.

Vehicle "stalls" when: Backing out of driveway when accelerating after slowing down when making left or right turns after stopping or slowing down stalling does not occur every single time but occurs regularly. One one occation stall occured while making a left turn resulting confusion between driver in oncoming traffic and myself as I could not control the vehicle stall duration is between 1 to 3 seconds and it seems to be getting longer as the parts or system components are wearing. Stalls occur mostly in city driving I suspect that the trouble is within the "drive by wire" or the cvt

I bought a 2016 CRV touring two month ago, the next day I realized the entire car has a strong vibration, I took it to the dealer and they told me that issue it was for the 2015 crvs, I have the same vibration. I'm so frustrated they said its normal but is not! I searched on youtube and other owners are going through this too. When I. turn off the A/C the revs goes to 500 and the vibration increase, the ac is not good it doesn't blow cool air ( I have a 2010 grand vitara and the ac works better)

Seats are very uncomfortable. I cannot drive for more than 15 min and my right leg is numb and I have pain in the right buttocks. It is bad enough that I have to constantly move around to relieve the pain and discomfort.

I bought a 2016 touring CRV in December. The vibration issue that plagued the 2015 CRV is supposed to have been fixed in the 2016 models. Well, it's not. I didn't feel it when I test drove the car, but the one I got clearly vibrates when at idle. I brought the car back to the dealer, but they told me it was normal. Well, I've driven lots of cars in my life, and it is not normal.
