Fuel or exhaust smell on startup

- Euclid, OH, USA

1st owner 2017 CRV with 51000. Driving down highway. Check engine and all safety assist failure. Drive for a few days and light reset. Few more days and again this happens and engine also looses power. (have newborn in the care and 3 year old).obd reader displays codes P0304 and P0172. Take it to the dealer and reprogram the computer as their is extended warranty on oil dilution problem. Re-test and 4th fuel injector faulty. Not covered by power train warranty. I call Honda and they are trying to "goodwill" part of the $1500 cost rather admitting that there is a fuel injector issue like on other models. Could of ended in a major car accident with children! very disappointed in Honda.

I scan the check engine light with obd scanner and its shows P219F code. I search on google and its come to this description. When a code P219F is stored, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an imbalance error in the number four cylinder. To monitor the air to fuel ratio for each cylinder of the engine, the PCM uses data input from heated exhaust oxygen sensors (sometimes called air fuel sensors) and the crankshaft position (ckp) and camshaft position (cmp) sensors. I saw online and lots of people has same problem in Honda CRV 2017-18 model. I already reported problem before with Honda but get standard reply.

1:L.S suspension is making clunky noise for long time.this problem was on and off but now its continuously making noise while I drive to a bumpy or small broken road. 2:engine was making roaring noise then I follow up with dealer with my recall notice. I don't know they fix it or not but still making this noise. 3:smell solid fuel/gasoline from the exhaust system.full tank gas giving me only 178 miles range but I'm not able to drive 150 miles even.I always take the silver gasoline which is $38 dollars for the full tank.sometimes more and more this is the biggest problem of car and my financial. I think my fuel is leaking and this could be something else. Credit karma showing me I have 3 open recalls which is one of them. But I didn't receive any mail any email or notification from them.

Vehicle lost all power while I was driving on the highway and all of the dashboard lights lit up. Had been very cold weather for about the week prior. Also, the heater wouldn't get warm and car took forever to warm up.

All the warning lights came on after engine start eg, check engine light, power steering failure, driver assist, etc. It was every light. I took it to Honda in was diag. With PO172 engine runs rich. Honda bullentin 19-032 was perform which included replacing the A/C control unit and software update. After one month and less than another 1000 milers driven I have the same problem. The dealership says my fuel injectors need to be replaced for $1400. The car has 38000 miles on it and just came off warranty. This is a known problem and apparently happens in colder climates but I lived in ga. Completely unacceptable

Oil levels in car are above the dipstick and smell like petroleum has leaked into the oil. The fix that Honda introduced for the oil dilution issue has clearly not worked. Inside of car has a petroleum smell. Makes me lightheaded/dizzy. I had to pull over on the side of the highway - stop the car and air it out. There was not accident, but this continue issue can cause a major problem while driving including accident, injury and death.

All dash light warnings come on the car sometimes while driving and sometimes while idling. We have brought the car to Honda dealership 4 times and they fix a different problem every time but the problem persists. Now they are telling me it's the fuel injectors that need to be replaced. The car is out of warranty so I was be out of pocket $1200. Quick internet search shows this as a common problem on all Honda's including the fit and Pilot from 2016,2017 and now 2018 but they have yet to address the issue. I am relevant to pay for fuel injectors only to have more issues. And if it is the fuel injectors they should not be failing on a 3 year old car with 50K miles. Where's the recall or an extended warranty for fuel injectors? the is a major safety concern.

Code P0172 appeared. Honda replace A/C control module with no charge under bulletin 19-032. Honda stated "if the code comes back on they will need to replace injectors as well." The code came back in a month but now they say its off warranty and I will have to pay $1507.08 for injector replacement. They should have replaced the injectors from the start.

My vehicle, a 2017 Honda CRV ex-L has a 1.5 liter turbo engine with approximately 148,000 miles on it. It has been meticulously maintained with regular fluid and oil changes. Several days ago my CRV began lurching with a misfire, first the power was greatly reduced and then the engine lost all power and a check engine light and then all warning lights came on. I have on occasion smelled a gas type smell in the passenger compartment. A friend has a obd11 reader and my engine showed a P 0304 code which is a cylinder 4 misfire and a P 2097 code which is a post catalytic converter too rich warning. I had the vehicle towed to lute riley Honda in richardson, tx and a warranty service was performed that I understand is a resetting of engine codes and a HVAC control unit was replaced. Upon picking the vehicle up after driving just a few miles the engine lurching returned and ultimately the engine light came on and power was reduced to about 10 miles per hour. This happened in an intersection and was extremely dangerous, luckily I was able to pull off and stop the engine. After waiting a few minutes I restarted the engine and with no engine light on drove very slowly to my home. I plan on taking the vehicle back to the dealer in the morning.

Gas tank filler has a metal door approx 3 inches down filler tube that isn?T sealing, garage smells of strong gas smell. Vehicle is under warranty but deal refuses to fix. Dealer claims customer must have driven off with gas hose still in tank. This is not true, been difficult to get gas into vehicle almost since it was new, vehicle only has 8,000 miles. Complained to dealer, complained to manufacture, nobody cares. Suspect fire danger.

Ever since the car was new, when turning a corner on city intersections, the vehicle would hesitate, intermittently. I've been at the dealer, and they tell me there is nothing wrong. Recently I read about a recall of CRV's for a fuel pump problem. Not being a mechanic, this sounds like my problem. Unfortunately, Honda does not have this recall on their website. Any guidance you can give will be most welcome. Sincerely, [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Recall: 17V256000, 17V442000, 18V663000. Why weren't these recalls listed on your website. I purchased a car with 3 recalls because they were not listed on your site.

We repeatably have the smell of gas in the car (tubo-charged CRV) and in my garage after filling the gas tank. I've seen no leakage on the garage floor but the smell of gas is overwhelming. Likewise it is a sickening smell in the car. I think this is a tremendous safety issue since I have a gas fired furnace and hot water heater in the garage - I open the garage door to air it out for fear of a fire. I understand that Honda has been looking into the gas smell issue but no recall has been issued. For safety sake when is something going to be done?

I was driving on I-5 about 70 mph, suddenly the car started running rough and speed dropped immediately to 10-12 mph. The check engine light came on. I immediately pulled to the side of the road. After a minute or so the car returned to normal. I continued driving to the next dealer and had them inspect the car. They could find nothing wrong and gave me back my car. After driving an additional 15 minutes the same thing happened only the check engine light and many other warning lights came on and flashed. Once again I pulled to the side of the road and was towed to the dealership. They then changed the oil, replaced a fouled spark plug, adjusted the fuel injector settings and replaced the climate control unit. Honda has been unable to explain to me why this would solve the problem long term.

I owned my 2017 Honda CRV for 2 years with ~43000 miles on it. Feb 28th 2020 I got the emission control error or check engine light, its steady light not blinking, while driving on the highway. I did not have it service recently or filled gas. A car with 43K miles has emission issues just seems poor design.

While driving on city streets numerous system warnings sounded and illuminated, and several vehicle systems became disabled. Gasoline seeping into engine oil caused these issues which include electric parking brake problem, TPMS problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, AWD system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, and emissions system problem. The dealer found the engine oil to be saturated with gasoline which according to them caused faults in the other systems.
