Gasoline smell in passenger cabin when driving car. Gas somehow leaks into engine crankcase and dilutes oil and causes oil level to be overfilled. This is a continuing issue, not just a single occurrence.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. while driving 25 mph, the engine stalled and the check engine indicator illuminated and flashed. The contact was able to restart the engine and regain normal function. The vehicle was taken to helena Honda (3377 us highway 12, East helena, Montana 59601, (877) 962-2573). The dealer inspected the engine area for rodents that may have been caught in the engine compartment, causing the engine to stall. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle back if the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 5,980.

I heard about gasoline getting into engine oil on some 2017 and 2018 Honda Cr-vs with 1.5 liter turbo engines, so started monitoring mine. I noted a gasoline odor on the oil dipstick, and the oil level was slowly increasing above the full mark. I took the car into my Honda dealer on 10/8/18 and asked if they had heard of this problem. They said they had not. Showed the service manager my car, and he stated that the gasoline odor in the oil and the rising oil level were not normal. I also told him I sometimes smell a gasoline odor in the cabin for a few seconds after starting the car. He recommended an immediate oil change, which was done that same day. He said he would notify Honda about my problem and would advise me when a fix is available. So far I have had no drivability issues.

My car has stalled twice immediately on cold start. This is an issue as both times it resulted in unexpected rollback, as my garage is on a slope, and it seemed like the brake pedal was still "locked" like in engine off mode, so I rolled back despite pressing the pedal. This could be a serious safety consideration if I had people around my car.

I purchased this 2018 CR-V AWD in January 2018. Now as of October 2018, after 10 months of ownership we are experiencing strong smells of fuel inside the cabin everytime we drive on a cold day. The symptoms are in line with the October 2018 consumer reports article on this known issue. I called my dealer on October 15, 2018 and they have noted that Honda knows of this issue and does not have a fix. Obviously this is a concern for a $30K+ vehicle and that myself and my young children should not be exposed to the smell of fuel everytime we drive the CR-V.

Gasoline present in oil. Smell in cabin of car. Dip stick smells of gas and is indicating over filled. Please find a solution.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

Gas dilution with engine oil causing raise of engine oil level over the maximum limit of dip stick. Also strong fuel smell is coming from the dip stick when pull over. So far no fuel smell inside the cabin. Drove only 800miles. Talked to the dealer about the issue on Oct 13 they said it is a known problem for cr V. they are waiting for the Honda manufacturer's fix which suppose to come on this November. No engine diagnose and oil change done.

- Miami, FL, USA

Started noticing engine knocking in the first 500 miles. Vehicle only has 2,509 miles mostly freeway driving. Purchased April 2018. First drove it in April 409 miles round trip, and then again in may, same mileage and again in August. Only started driving it daily to and from work 16 miles round trip in September and it had 1600 miles. I then drove it on October 400 miles round trip and now I smell gasoline in car and it stalled on me while trying to make left turn in intersection. Also lights around mirror do not stay on. I don't think I should be smelling gas. Not sure what to do.

There is gas in the oil. Dashboard controls are shutting off, a strong smell of gas I. cabin.remote start wont work

- Basalt, CO, USA

The vehicle smells of un burnt gasoline in the cabin and under the hood. I went to check the oil level and it appeared higher than normal and it smelled of gasoline. Additionally, the dipstick had a odd solid residue on it. You can see it in the attached picture. We had brought the car to Honda they had kept it for a few days, they acknowledged the issue, and stated they had no "fix" for it. This is a major concern considering this is a pretty much brand new vehicle, especially considering the fact that Honda has noted concern for the vehicle randomly stalling.

Fuel is getting into the oil causing dilution. My oil level has increased as a result of that and it can cause the oil to loose viscosity which won't make the oil as effective on the engine and can cause long term engine damage. This is happening in southern California. I had to get my oil change early at less than 3500 miles because the smell of oil and oil level increase was bad.

2018 Honda CR-V gas in the oil beware consumers.... I bought my 2018 Honda CR-V in July.... after months of research on what the best small SUV would be for me to have in my retirement. Media articles raved about this automobile.... consumer reports chose it as their SUV of the year.... it had this great 1.5 turbo engine that would get upwards of 27-33 mpg.... it was a complete package.... my dream retirement vehicle....... the dealer told my husband and I that oil needs to be changed every 7000 miles or so.... my husband is a meticulous mechanic... he checked the oil at 3000 miles and found it a quart high.... ( huummm... oil dies not increase.... and it reeked of gas..... gas in the oil" he started researching possible problems with the CR-V.... and things started to really sour.... usa Honda has apparently known about this issue with the CR-V for quite some time.... they have kept it under the radar.... in china there has been a recall on 350,000 CR-V's and they have stopped sales.... Canada has also acknowledged the issue... usa Honda is claiming it is a cold weather issue.... ( first off I bought it in July and secondly.... a car that doesn't work in cold weather???" what the hell is that.... an AWD vehicle at that!!!) Honda is searching for a solution.... there is no solution.... gas is seeping into my oil wrecking the engine as I write.... Honda needs to stop sales.... fess up and give me my money back or a new CR-V with the previously proven engine.... stay tuned! my husband feels owners out there are not aware yet because most don't change their own oil.... and also most do not have anywhere near the miles it will take to completely destroy this engine as he has indicated 'this CR-V with 1.5 turbo will never make 100,000 miles before it is destroyed...please do something to recall these disasters

Gas smelling in car when driving on street. Found engine oil above maximum level.

- Youngsville, LA, USA

Engine oil level is increasing and has an odor of gasoline. Oil viscosity is very thin. Vehicle is only six months old with just over 5000 miles after a recent oil change by the dealer, within 2 weeks the oil level had exceeded the "full" indicator. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they checked it and agreed there was a problem. The repair document says "there is no fix for it yet, Honda will come up with something". I have great concerns for engine damage and safety of operating the vehicle
