2019 Honda CRV. I have noticed that my oil has an amount of gas over 5% twice by analysis. I am worried about the problem of oil dilution that Honda CRV's (model year 2017 & 2018) have had. I fear that I will have premature engine damage and more important loss of power or stalling on the highway as the 1.5 liter direct injection Honda CRV engines have experienced.

We were driving on a straight section of road at 80mph on I-24 E when the engine light came on and we lost power to the wheels but the engine was still running. There was no jerking motion or any sign of trouble when this happened. We had to coast in heavy traffic with semi-trucks all around us to get to the right hand shoulder for a safe place. Honda's reply to the dealer was to change the oil out if there was gas in the oil. There was gas in the oil when the dealer checked so they replaced the oil. No other fix was suggested by Honda to the dealer even though this problem was supposed to be fixed for the 2019 models as it had initiated field repairs for the 2017 & 2018 models. The fix was supposed to be implemented at the assembly plants before the 2019 models were sold.

2,790 miles. Gas fumes in the cabin of newly purchased 2019 Honda CR-V and on the outside of car near front of car. On 02/03/2020, I took the car to Honda's service center where they performed a multi-point inspection(visual inspection). They ran the car in the garage for 45 minutes but were unable to duplicate the problem and the smell could not be noticed inside the cab, around the fuel tank or under the hood. But they did say, the oil had a fuel smell. I found this is a known oil dilution problem that has been found in 2018 and 2017 models and that it was to be corrected for 2019. Honda is aware this is still an issue but say they cannot duplicate the issue so they do nothing. I have respiratory problems and very sensitive to certain odors and fumes, and when I drive the car I have to have the moon roof open and the windows cracked. It causes discomfort in my chest and air passage. I called Honda customer service several times and opened a case. It was assigned to a case manager who said he would look into it and call me back in a couple of days, that was 2 months ago. He never called. I called them again 4/20/2020 and was told I can get a second opinion at another Honda service center, but if the results are the same there is nothing they can do. Honda knows this is an issue that has not been corrected for the 2019 and refuses to do anything. This car is a hazard for those with health issues, small children and for anyone breathing in these fumes. I am a senior citizen who bought this car based on good reviews because I wanted a good car that would possibility be the last car I had to purchase and it may be, but not for the reasons I hoped. When someone purchases a brand new car with a 5 year car note, the least they should be able to expect is the ability to drive the car without feeling they are putting their life in jeopardy. Honda is awful and shameful.

Problem: Fuel getting into oil transfer case and contaminating/diluting the oil. We purchased a 2019 Honda CR-V ex-L on 10/31/19. I had done some research on this problem since it had been reported with the 2017-2018 models with the same 1.5 turbo engine. I brought it to the dealer's attention before we bought the car and we were told that Honda had "fixed the problem and that our vehicle had the fix". we were planning a trip to dallas, tx on 02/22/20 and planed to drive there from our home in duluth, mn. In preparing for the trip, I checked the engine oil and found that the oil level was 1/2" above the full mark on the dipstick, and the oil was dark and smelled strongly of gasoline. The car had 2407 miles on it at this time and obviously Honda had not fixed the problem. I took the car to the dealer on 02/21/20 where I purchased the car and had them check the oil. They observed the same issues that I am reporting. They stated that Honda knows about this problem but has not yet issued a recall. But they also stated that Honda was not providing any explanation or remedy other than to change the oil at the owner's expense. My dealership, to their credit, agreed to change the oil and filter at no charge to me. The service manager also explained why the issue is occurring and acknowledged that Honda may yet be forced to issue a recall. Honda has already offered an extended warranty for the 2017-18 models as the result of a class action suit, but nothing is being done for the 2019 or 2020 models that have the same engine and same problem. I am concerned about premature engine wear, damage, or potential of fire or explosion. Dealer repair #122992, krenzen Honda duluth, mn.

The engine is getting gas in the oil. I have taken oil samples that show greater than 5% gas in the engine with lower than minimum oil viscosity. I have taken it to the dealer who changed the oil. Less than 1000 miles later, the problem is back. The engine hesitates randomly especially when slowing down. I've taken the vehicle to two different dealers with the same "there's nothing we can do". I asked them if they could pull the injectors and check to see if one is faulty and was told "it's direct injection, the injectors cannot be pulled", which of course is false. The last mechanic told me that unless the oil level is more than 1.5 inches above the add mark, there was no chance of damage to the engine. I estimate that at that level, there would be 30% gas in oil. The company stated that the problem for the 1.5 turbo engine in the 2019 CR-V was solved. I don't believe it has been solved based on my and others experience.

Honda stated that the oil dilution problem had been corrected for 2019 CRV's. it was not in my 2019 CRV. I have aprox 21000 miles and each time oil is changed. Its been a quart high or more on the dipstick with a gasoline smell. The dealer will not tell me that this is the problem. They keep putting me off. Very simply this is adding to wear and tear on the CRV. Another problem is the gas fumes in the car cabin which are very dangerous. We have felt light headed while driving. This would cause an accident if we would pass out from the fumes,

CR-V

  • 2,000 miles
The 2019 Honda CR-V touring vehicle has experienced gasoline contamination of the engine oil due to an issue with the engine design. The abnormal levels of gasoline contaminates has been validated through a third-party lab test. The degradation of the lubricating properties of the engine oil results in engine performance and in-cabin air quality issues. The vehicle has been taken into the manufacturer's service department, however, they have indicated that there is no fix for this issue at this time unless you live in specific states where the fix is being offered. This is a known international issue with this vehicle type and Honda has acknowledged that this is a problem. Some reports indicate that consumers have experienced severe vehicle performance issues (I.e., stalling) as well as health related issues due to super strong gasoline odors in the cabin of the vehicle. The reduced lubrication quality of the engine oil due to the engine design issue has long-term performance indications.

While refueling (at different gas stations and different pumps) the fuel nozzle becomes stuck in the cap less filler. Located in California, where the pumps have the vapor re-cycler. Don't know if that is causing the issue or not. This is while vehicle is stopped, engine off. Waited for 5 to 6 seconds as is called out in the manual. Didn't help the issue.
