Something is causing the oil level to increase above the full mark on the oil dipstick.

- Hoschton, GA, USA

Very strong odor of gasoline on oil dipstick when checking level of oil. Oil is overfilled according to dipstick where it is well above the fill marking even thought dealer filled oil to specification previously. Obviously gasoline is diluting oil. Very concerned this is a safety issue in the long term. Dealer denies there is an issue and is unwilling to repair notwithstanding the car has a tsb in several us states and all of Canada.

I own a Honda CR-V /ex 1.5 liter turbo engine. Aug 14 2018 noticed oil level on dip stick was above highest level indicator and oil smelled of gas. Called independence Honda in bloomsburg pa and brought vehicle on Aug 21,1018 for appointment to check this condition. They changed oil and told me that Honda knows about this issue and is working on a fix. They told me to bring it back in 3000 miles for another oil change. The same condition was found on Oct 22, 2018 when I brought it back after 3000 miles. I was told Honda would have a fix soon. December I received a letter from Honda with product update 2017-2018 CR-V. I called independence Honda to schedule the update on Dec. 26, 2018, which was performed. I was told that this was the fix for this gas in oil problem. On Jan, 23, 2019 I checked the oil and the oil level was 3/8" higher than the highest level indicator on the dip stick and the oil smelled of gas. I took the vehicle to independence that day for their inspection of the problem. After their inspection they told me that this is a normal condition for this engine. This was the same problem they have been telling me for the last 6 months that Honda knows the problem and they will have a fix for it. The fix has not worked on my vehicle. Honda needs to recall these vehicles and install new components to prevent this condition and also extend engine warranties. I consider gas in the oil a safety issue. If vehicle stalls or has exceleration issues in traffic it could cause an accident and injury.

Honda recall sb 18-114 2017cr-V is completely unacceptable.. before the fix my CR-V heated up, & had heat with 2miles.. now the temperature gauge does not move for 10 minutes.. & there is no heat.. the CR-V was fine before this fix.. I returned to the dealer to have them re-check this recall.. they say that this is normal now.. the recall was intended to make the CR-V heat up quicker, not slower.. I'm just letting your know this, and I will also let NHTSA know. As this may now be a safety hazzard. As there may not be enough heat to defrost the windows. Per the crvoc.com : what you can do ' go on record and report the problem to the dealership, to corporate Honda, and to NHTSA.gov

The heat in the car dose not work when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be driving continuously to have the temperature gauge move. Once the gauge is 1/2 way up and I turn on the heat, the gauge drops all the way down. No warm air comes out, also effecting the defroster. If I have ice or fog on my windows the defroster can't keep up severely impairing my vision, not to mention that all passengers in the car are freezing the entire time. This morning the temperature was 9 degrees Fahrenheit with a real feel of -10 and during my 30 minute drive to work via a highway, all 4 door windows were fogged over and ice was forming on them and the rear and front windshield have fog and ice on about 50% of them. If not for the seat warmer and the blanket I wrapped myself in for my cummute I would have been frozen. This isn't the first time winter has happened nor the first car that Honda has created. No reason for the heat not to work.

Gas is mixing in the oil of our new 2017 Honda CR-V. the 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather, runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. Began losing power.

On multiple occasions, while getting an oil change on my 2017 Honda CRV, the maintenance tech told me that my oil smelled very much like gasoline. Gasoline must be leaking into oil somewhere in engine. This can be a safety and maintenance issue.

- Romeoville, IL, USA

Car occasionally smells like fuel on the inside. This happens at times days after the last time the gas tank was filled. Appears to be a leak somewhere. Can sometimes occur while car is in motion on highway or idling at standstill.

Stalling, loss of engine power, smell of gas in the passenger compartment, audio display erratic, all while car is in motion; front running lights blinking when foot on brake. Problems occur in cold weather.

- Canton, OH, USA

Vehicle oil continues to be at elevated levels, oil smells strongly of gasoline and a gasoline smell continues to be present in the cabin of the vehicle. This is still occurring even after the software update with A/C control unit replacement was done in November 2018.

- Tomah, WI, USA

Check oil deep stick. It went over max by 1 inch and it smell gasoline. Went to Honda dealer to fix. They did software update and ac cpu replace and oil changed. Still did not fix the problem. Sometimes my wife and son smell gas I don't know where it comes from. Really don't know what to do now....

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

Engine oil dipstick shows oil level above full and smells of gas. Honda dealer claims no knowledge of a problem although it is well known in internet auto blogs. I had my oil tested at blackstone laboratories and the report states it contains 3.3% of fuel and 'a fair amount of metal present', and a flashpoint of 305 degrees when it should be above 370. This is a new car with only 3534 miles on it. Oil diluted with gas could cause my engine to freeze up while driving due to lack of proper lubrication. This is a serious problem in a turbo engine and will end its life prematurely and possibly cause an accident

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that oil was mixing with the fuel. The dealer (vandergriff Honda, 1104 w interstate 20, arlington, tx 76017, (817) 533-4266) noticed the failure and performed an oil change at no charge.

The vehicle has a known issue by Honda with unsafe levels of oil dilution in the 1.5 cvt turbo engine. Gas is mixing in with the oil, causing oil levels to rise. The fumes of gasoline are entering into the cabin space and making it unsafe to breathe. The engine is also having stalling issues due to gas mixing in with the oil in the engine area. This also has an issue with the ability to keep the car warm and providing adequate heat into the cabin area. The components of this engine are unsafe for cold weather climates such as the northeast. The car can not warm up the engine sufficiently at idle and therefore will not blow any hot air into the cabin area. The manufacturer states the car needs to be operating at highway speeds for approximately 10 minutes to gain sufficient engine warmth. This is not acceptable, as many owners of this vehicle have families and children, and we make short trips back and forth. For the car to be cold and blow cold air and not be able to warm up is a failure by the manufacturer to provide a safe vehicle. Honda case number 06673515

Gasoline in the engine oil. Level of engine oil as measured with dipstick rising. Inadequate heat in passenger compartment when ambient temperature below 25F when driving around town (10 miles).

Dilution of engine oil, which has been infiltrated by gasoline. Low power in driving. Strong smell of gasoline in the cabin. Vehicle was in motion at first detection of gasoline smell.

Gasoline smell in vehicle, gasoline overfilling engine oil. Gasoline smell in vehicle shortly after starting when cold. Vehicle is parked when the smell is noticed. I'm also worried that with the oil mixing with the oil that engine failure may happen.

Last oil change found oil level 1/2 quart high with a strong gas smell. Oil sample was not as viscous as oil should be. Contacted dealer but no response yet.

I check engine oil yesterday and found level very high on dipstick and smelling strongly of gasoline. I called the Honda dealer checkered flag where I purchased the vehicle and took it directly there.it had only been 180 miles driven since last oil change at dealer. They offered to change oil again and then told me to keep checking oil level and return to dealer in 1000 miles. I was told the oil level was half quart over filled and was because gas was not being burned during combustion because engine was not hot enough. They said it was normal and not to worry. I don't think the oil will protect my engine when it is so diluted with gasoline.I filed a complaint and got a case number [xxx] from Honda America, but want the problem to be fixed before there is long term damage to my engine.
