I bought a Honda CR-V 2018 last year in May. The vehicle only have 8000 miles on it. Now I recently notice that when I am starting the car when pressing on the brake and pressing the start button. It will try to start but fails. It seems you need to do this numerous times to start the vehicle. This have been happening to me in the last 3 days. I called the Honda dealer about it and schedule an appointment with them tomorrow.

Oil dilution bad gas smell from oil can cause a fire car only has 3750 miles

- Kew Gardens, NY, USA

Gas leaks into the engine while I'm driving, which will inevitably engine failure and the car will stall while driving, this poses a risk for motor vehicle collision.. the Honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle is aware of this and recommended an oil change. 48 hours later my oil is completely diluted with gasoline again. There is a strong gas odor in the cabin of my car which is a health hazard to myself and my 2 small children, one with asthma. I've contacted Honda of America several times regarding this issue with no solution.

Gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. A warranty repair was done Jan 2019 to resolve the problem but in Sept 2019 the engine oil was noted to be above full and smell of gasoline. The car was brought in for further repair but no further repair is available and because Honda claims this to be "a normal characteristic" of the car, no oil change was done either. However, the Honda 2018 CR-V manual clearly points out that over filling the oil may lead to leaks or engine damage. Copies of the repair receipt and Honda oil overfill warning are attached.

2018 Honda CRV ex: Mileage 20,165. Upon accelerating while pulling the car on main roadway, the car dropped from 50mph to 25mph and then wouldn't reach past 35mph, the engine light appeared and started to blink. Pushing the gas pedal only aggravated the situation. About a mile later the car stopped/stalled trying to go up a hill. I turned off car, waited 10 min and restarted. Was able to go another 1 mile to home, I did not attempt to go over 25 mph, because engine light was still blinking. The next morning, I drove the car to the dealer, but made sure I did not go over 30mph, as I did not want it to stall. During the drive the engine light was still blinking. Waiting to hear back.from the dealer. I believe this is a powertrain issue that has been documented by Honda and all 2017/2018 crvs have been recalled in china and europe, but not the us.

Afraid this car will catch on fire! engine oil is getting diluted with fuel due to the turbo engines on the 2017 -2018 Honda crvs. I notified stevenson hendrick Honda in December 2018 of a fuel smell in cabin of car while driving and an mil (malfunction error came up & all safety features were disabled until I cut car off at next stop and restarted. Dealership checked the car on 12/24/18 and said nothing was wrong. Contacted dealership again due to fuel smell in cabin & we had checked oil & the dipstick reaked of fuel & was way over the high mark. Took car on 8/10/19 and I made service manager tony check oil in front of me to verify fuel was in it. They said they changed computer module and did some updates to fix & told me to bring it back on 8/1/717 at 8;00 for install of spark plugs they ordered. Drove 40 miles back home and fuel was already in the oil again! called dealership back to let them know I want the oil/oil filter changed again on 8/17/19 when they do spark plugs and that we will continue to check oil in car. I contacted Honda as well & spoke to "cat". she wasn't helpful at all and refused to tell me why the software update notice they sent didn't say anything about fuel dilution in the oil. It only referred to error codes & whirling noise in engine. The dealership said this problem has only been happening in "cold weather regions" and that I am the first they have heard of. I told them that if people don't check their oil or if the dealership doesn't tell the consumer when they change their oil that they wouldn't know they had a problem since it has not been disclosed to the consumers.this car scares me me & I'm afraid my engine will catch on fire from this issue!

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. the contact suspected that fuel and oil were in the oil tank, leaking past the cylinders and entering the oil tank. The vehicle was taken to lithia Honda (4095 crater lake hwy, medford, or 97504, (541) 930-3021) where an oil dilution for the fuel odor was performed, but no failure was found. The contact stated that the dipstick showed that the oil was above the full mark. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to call the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 10,864.

While changing oil and filter at 30,000 miles 1) oil appeared highly diluted and watery 2) there was a strong gasoline smell coming from the used oil I took vehicle in for service and was told gas in oil is normal for these type engines but Honda had extended warranty for these engines. I asked about the software 'fix' I had read about being performed and dealer said they could not make the update to my car since it wasnot showing any diagnostic trouble codes at this point.

I was driving Saturday 27, 2019 about 9:00 am in the pulaski skyway in New Jersey then all of the sudden all the display warning lights went on and off until the car stall and the engine just stop working but the warning lights( every single one) just kept going on and off. I couldn't do anything as you may know the pulaski skyway has not place to pull over, you can imagine the traffic jam that my broke down car cause. The weekend of the 07/21/2019 I had a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin and when I check the oil dipstick it was overfill and had the strong smell of gasoline I called the dealer planet Honda and they told me to bring my car to check on 07/25/2019, the same day the dealer called me and said that is nothing wrong with the car and the smell of gasoline and the overfill engine oil was normal. I have no confidence on driving my Honda CRV anymore. I bought the car on 06/15/2019 with 5,300 miles on it.

This is about my 2018 Honda CR-V ex with around 14,700 miles at present.my whole family and a friend went to yakima, wa for cherry picking.on our way there from seattle, wa while driving using adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keeping assist system (lakas) suddenly a warning from the screen appeared that says..."power reduced - power grille problem" and then we can not accelerate the speed. Luckily we made it to the shoulder of the highway for emergency park and wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the warning goes out from the screen. When it goes out we start the engine and start driving again and after 7 to 10 minutes the warning goes on again, stop and goes again for the third time and we decided to turn off the acc and lkas and drive in a lower speed 60 to 65 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone.the next morning I checked the engine oil fill compartment and the engine oil dipstick and found out they have a strong gasoline smell.gasoline leaks to the engine oil compartment.when I checked the dipstick, the oil is dripping like water with blackish color because of the gasoline mixed to the oil. I reported it to the dealership for service and told me not to drive the car going to them instead the towing company (aaa) do the job to take it to the dealership.and the day when I picked up the car they told me that the gasoline I smell from the compartment is normal due to combustion. I asked them to check the engine oil dipstick to prove to them that it smells gasoline and dripping like water with blackish color (this is a newly changed pure synthetic engine oil /90% remaining).they did not check the dipstick and told me they can do nothing about it and told me to it's normal.they said it's safe to drive my car. I'm just hoping this problem be resolved very soon.

My 2018 Honda CR-V 1.5T engine is "making oil". I change my own oil and monitor the level weekly. The dealer told me that the oil dilution issue that I read about in consume reports would not affect me because I am in a warm climate (Florida) but that is not true. The oil level on my dip stick rose about 3/8 of an inch in 5000 miles. I changed the oil and we took a trip to Tennessee in the winter and the oil level rose so much in the cold weather I was concerned that it would cause too much pressure on the seals so I drained some oil out. I would think that gas in the oil would severely effect engine life. The dealer denies that I have a problem saying the this is a cold weather issue.

This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle sputtered, did not want to run, and stalled a few times before I wound up at the dealership. I also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. The vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a hopeful repair. Here I am with no vehicle, and a $400 per month payment. This is absolutely unacceptable in today's world. This problem should have been fixed, before the vehicle was allowed to be put up for sale. A vehicle is deemed not safe, when it's stalls on you in the middle of traffic.

Oil dilution cause engine wear in short time

- Rockaway, NJ, USA

Raw fuel smell inside cabin and outside of vehicle. Engine oil diluted and oil level increased. Fuel mixed in with oil.

- Ocala, FL, USA

In the winter, I noticed a reduction in power from the vehicle. The engine began to run rough and stalled a few times in parking lots. There was the smell of gas and sulfates coming through the vents. The oil level was very high. I took the car to the dealer and they changed the oil. Four months later with normal use of the vehicle, the smell of gas is again coming through the vents, the engine seems to be running rough again, and the oil level is high. I fear the vehicle will stall in a dangerous situation, and the fumes in the cabin make me feel sick.

CR-V with now 6000 miles on it gets oil in gas. Oil changed at dealer twice. Dealer says Honda knows about this problem, but my car VIN not included in recall. Have contacted american Honda but was unable to get fix authorized. This car is defective and under warranty. Getting fix should not be a problem! gas in oil may also be a fire hazard.
