My 2017 Honda CR-V has a strong fuel odor coming from the engine oil dipstick. Also, the oil level rises above the full mark indicator on the dipstick. A fuel odor coming from the vents when the heater is on. Also, heater doesn't appropriately heat up the cabin. Consequently, I took my car to a Honda dealer and they told me they were unaware of this being a problem. They ran a diagnostics on the car and told me to come back when next oil change is due. After researching this fuel odor problem on the internet, I discovered that this issue was a result of gasoline leaking into the engine oil compartment. This problem is called oil dilution and it causes the car to stall unexpectedly. This may happen on the highway and result in serious injury or death when traveling at a high rate of speed. Also, it is hazardous to be inhaling gasoline fines coming from the vents. Not to mention the damage it's causing to the engine itself. Honda hasn't taken any action to fix this serious safety hazard.

I smell gasoline in the cabin while driving. I'm really concerned because I have my 2 year-old son in the car with me most of the time. That's going to cause some health issues. The oil level shown on the dip stick is always high and has heavily gas smell when dip stick is pulled out of engine.

On 12-5-2018 I started smelling gas fumes in and around the vehicle, while driving or parked. Contacted dealership 12-7-2018, scheduled an appointment and went in today. They are aware of the problem but said all they can do is change the oil as they don't have a fix for the problem of fuel getting into oil on my 1.5 turbo. (this problem has been going on since 2015 based on documentation found on the internet.) when I got ready to leave the dealership the gas smell started up again so the oil change doesn't appear to have helped. Since this has started I've also started getting headaches when I drive my vehicle. I'm also concerned that my vehicle could catch fire or breakdown. I'm not sure what else to do.

My 2017 CR-V ex-L has the oil dilution issue. Currently reading 1.5 inches higher than the max fill line on the dipstick. Vehicle smells so bad...like sulfur smell or gas. It is an overpowering smell and makes me nauseous. This can occur after idling for a few minutes, or after driving on a highway for 30 minutes. It is not just a short driving distance issue. Honda has known about this issue for years, and yet continues to sell the vehicle. They have not come up with a fix that works. Taking it in to the dealer tomorrow. After driving this for 2 years with this issue, I can only imagine the amount of damage on my engine. This is a safety issue. Fumes that fill the inside of the vehicle are not healthy or safe. At some point, the oil issue could be a fire hazard or the engine could fail at any moment. Why is Honda not being forced to fix this with a recall and/or buy back these vehicles?

We are experiencing the same fuel dilution in the engine oil that many other owners with 2017-18 Cr-vs with the 1.5T engine are experiencing. We live in va. I feel as though I don't need to go into details as this issue is so well known, prompted a ban on sales of the vehicle in china, etc. They keep pushing back the recall and now announced for the first two months, it will only be available in select northern states. A simple search through complaints shows that this problem is not isolated to the northern states, it may be exacerbated by significantly cold weather, but the way they are rolling out a recall is not acceptable. It's unsafe (causes stalling vehicles on the highway and in traffic, which is most definitely a safety concern) and causes premature wear on the engine (a consumer protection issue). NHTSA needs to step up and accelerate enforcement action, e.g. make them accelerate the recall to all of their customers, not just just arbitrary classification and order based on whether or not you live on one side of a state line or the other. It gets cold in va too. The Honda dealer basically told us we're out of luck until the recall, and to keep changing the oil.

I smell gasoline and checked the oil on several occasion. The gas fumes came from the oil check, gas in oil. I brought to covington la Honda dealer today 11-29-2018 and the advised me that it is working as designed, and no problem was found at this time.

Engine oil was 1 quart overfull. Oil smells like gasoline. Engine oil visibly thinner than normal. Reportedly, this problem is systemic with CR-V's as ours with the turbo 4 cylinder. The gasoline should be evaporating due to engine temp; but, it's not -- as a result the gasoline dilutes the engine oil and causes the oil level to rise.

I noticed a gas smell in my cabin of the car and checked the oil and noticed a gas smell there too. I looked it up online and there are a number of complaints of this issue but no recalls from Honda. I am trying to get an appointment, but it's been difficult.

Excessive oil in sump. Root cause is fuel mixed with oil.

- Northport, NY, USA

Fuel is mixing in oil. The oil dipstick smells like gas and there is a gasoline smell in the cabin when the heat is on. Honda calls it abnormal oil dilution. Took it to the dealer he put documentation of oil smell on dipstick on receipt but said Honda has no fix for this in Kansas. Called Honda of America customer service referred to claim management team who said no fix for this in Kansas and he "doesn't think it will hurt the engine" even immediatly after oil change the dipstick still smelled like gas even after wiping it. I believe that oil dilution can cause wear damage to an engine. I drive my CRV 3 miles to work.
