Driving in winter conditions. Car lost power. Engine light came on. Was able to coast about a quarter mile to a safe place on the side of the road. By the time I parked the car smoke was coming out of the front and back of the vehicle. There was a strong smell like something burning. When I restarted the car to get heat while waiting for roadside assistance the dash lights were flashing and multiple system failure messages. Car unable to drive over bout 5 miles per hour. Had to tow to dealership.

When you pull dipstick oil smells like gas, also strong odor of gas in cabin while driving! it makes me sick so you have to pull over sometimes on busy highway for smell to stop. You can open window while driving. I know it is software issue in Honda computer, china and Canada already recall 650.000 Honda crvs heat doesn't work proper either, going from warm to cold really fast, took my 11 months old to Honda they said is normal smell gas in oil. I have their official statement on paper. Not sure why nothing is done. It has to be hard on engine all this gas in oil chamber.

Contacted Honda regarding brand new 2018 Honda CRV Voyager regarding oil dilution. The company says that the gas smell on the vehicles oil dip stick is "normal." They also stated that if the oil level is too high an interior light or engine noise would indicate an issue. Meaning that the oil level is arbitrary.

My 2018 Honda CRV touring with 1.5L turbo engine had had a problem with the smell of fuel fumes in the interior cabin since the time of purchase. When you turn the air on with the air coming from the outside vent, especially when first starting the car, the smell of gasoline fumes is apparent, which is also a serious health safety concern as inhalation of fumes is definitely bad for your health. Every time I check my oil level, the dipstick shows the oil is overfilled beyond what the dipstick measures and the oil smells heavily of gas. After researching this online, I found that there is a problem that many 5th generation CRV owners are experiencing with the 1.5L turbo engine with too much gas getting into the oil and the smell of fumes in the cabin. This is what is causing my oil level to rise to unsafe levels that will accelerate the deterioration of expensive internal engine components. I contacted Honda and they performed a technical service bulliten related to this issue on December 4th 2018, where a module related to the air conditioning was replaced along with the engine oil and some software upgrade was installed. This changed absolutely nothing. I still am experiencing the sickening smell of gasoline fumes in the cabin as well as the dipstick showing more oil than it can measure along with the smell of gas coming from the oil.

I purchased this car June 2018. It was perfect. Everything worked flawlessly. Then January 3 I had a tsb performed on the car, now my mpg's have dropped by 10mpg. And I had no issue with heat before, and now I do. Start the car, within 2 miles I have heat. 20 minutes into my journey, the center vents on the dash start blowing cold air. Does not matter how much I turn up the heat dial, it continues to blow cold air from the center vents from that point in the trip forward. It's been taken to the dealership who called Honda tech line and Honda tech line claims this is normal. It is not normal and the car was not doing that prior this tsb being done on my car. Even the dealership agrees with me it's not normal and something is wrong, but tech line told them to tell me nothing is wrong. This is wildly unacceptable and you need to step in. I am not the only one that Honda is doing this to! in china a stop sale was forced by consumers because the CRV is defective. Why isn't the usa doing something to help us"??"

There is a strong gas smell in the cabin and around the car. The smell is most noticeable when idling and after parking. Duration of the trip does not seem to be a factor, nor the street type.

My CR-V 2018 doesn't run smooth and the engine is noisey but the big problem happened 12/08/18 when I parked the car to unload groceries when one hour later I went to start it the cabin filled with the strong smell of gasoline. I spoke to my mechanic who told me not to drive and have the dealership pick it up.

The Honda CR-V has a optional backup sensor option which does not perform to prevent an accident. It does not provides necessary adequate warning to prevent backing up into a vehicle or person. The back up sensor has warning buzzer that can not be heard over normal conversation or a radio. The system I was told has not been updated for several years let Honda is still installing this inadequate warning system. Check it out for your self. I raise this safely issue with my Honda dealer and Honda executive officer in charge of engineering.

Oil becomes diluted with gasoline. Oil level exceeds measure indicator. Gas smell penetrates the cabin. Gas smell also in oil. Not sure when it began to occur.

- Washougal, WA, USA

Purchased a Honda CRV 2018 in July. In October, the adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, and brake system warnings/errors were flashing on and off while driving. This would cause constant beeping because of the warnings. This is a major safety issue in my opinion. Dealer at end of October replaced the camera unit in the windshield. This seems to have fixed the issue so far.

Fuel is mixing with the engine oil causing the oil level to become high and the oil diluted. On short cold trips, the cab smells of gasoline. I had the oil changed by the dealer and not even 300 miles later, the oil level is high again and the oil smells of gasoline. Additionally, my CR-V does not heat up properly. When started cold, the temperature gauge on the dash never comes off of cold, no matter how long it idles. It takes at least 5 minutes of driving to register heat. When I remote start my car on cold days, it does not actually heat up the car.

2018 Honda CR-V ex. Since I purchased new excess in Jan 2018 fuel is getting into the crankcase and diluting the engine oil. Have to change my oil every 3,000 miles. Sent several oil samples from my CR-V to a lab and it comes back highly diluted which will eventually cause premature engine damage. Also, during the winter months when temps are in the single digits and below my CR-V cannot hold a normal engine temperature when going downhill or in stop and go traffic. This is turn causes my windshield to ice over causing a serious hazard when driving down the roads. I have contacted and visited my Honda dealer several times and they say nothing is wrong. How can myself and many others have these identical problems and nothing be wrong? I am very disappointed in Honda motor corporation and my dealer. I have purchased 4 new Honda vehicles over the years and this will certainly be my last. Not a happy camper for sure.

I was driving down the highway with no other cars in front of or beside me when suddenly I hard a loud crash and saw in the rearview mirror debris coming off of my car. I pulled over and saw that my sunroof had spontaneously shattered. Thankfully I had the lightshade closed so no one in the vehicle was injured. I'm an also grateful there was not a vehicle behind mine to catch the debris and possibly injure additional persons.

The vehicle was brand new with less than 1000 miles on it. It was parked in my carport on October 7, 2018 and when we started to church we discovered that the tailgate glass was shattered and had partially fallen out.

The hands free phone feature has essentially been unusable since I have had the vehicle, which I purchased new in November 2017. The person on the other end of the call hears so much distortion, background noise, and acoustic feedback that they cannot hear what I am saying, worsening the faster the car is going. Have had the car to 2 different dealerships, a total of 3 times. They have 'updated the software' and replaced the microphone with no resolution. The dealerships do not seem to know how to resolve the issue, and there has been no assistance provided to them from Honda. Hands free is an important safety feature. I have had a ticket open with Honda about this issue since May 2018 and have submitted a formal complaint through Honda's customer service line. Honda has been unresponsive to this issue. There are many purchasers of these new vehicles who have had the same experience. Please note comments on the cargurus.com blog, titled 'hands free background noise.'
