I have a strong smell of gas coming from the engine. It has happened several times but 2 times in the last week. It seems to happen when it is early after I start the car and within the first 2 or 3 miles of driving. It is concerning because the smell of gas is overwhelming.

Periodic gasoline smell in the cabin of the vehicle, most notably when it is very cold. Also, high oil level with the appearance of gasoline mixing with the engine oil. To date, vehicle has not stalled or left me stranded. Complaint filed with american Honda motor company and dealer visit scheduled to evaluate.

My car developed the gas-in-oil problem that has been reported on. Took to dealer, who opened a ticket with Honda. Problem continues, no fix offered yet. Third party used oil analysis confirms the problem.

Oil volume increases over time. Ok smells like gasoline and turns black. Heater barely works in the winter. Honda has acknowledged the problem and suggested more frequent oil changes due to fuel dilution. However they refuse to pay for the oil changes. I have documentation of the issue from my Honda dealer.

I have had the Honda since Nov 2017 & have had 2 shutter release problems-loss of power‼️‼️ it reduced 15 miles an hour going up a hill & kept reducing power.. I could have been on a two way road & gotten into head on‼️‼️ took it to dch Honda temecula, ca & they said there is no fix & wanted me to go on my merry way‼️‼️ called their Corp. Office, opened a case it but the case person would not talk to me or call me back‼️‼️ I have an arbitration case now set up with ncds & Honda.. Honda is not under the ca lenon law but with ncds (national center for dispute settlement). The Honda person assigned to arbitration case called me & told me I don't have a case as I only took it in 1 time. But, I called dch-Honda temecula, ca to set up appt to get this fixed & they wouldn't call me back for appt.- as the can't fix it‼️‼️ this car is going to cause a death & Honda could care less, I just don't want to be that death statistic‼️‼️ the us does not need a company that doesn't stand up & acknowledge their faulty products & fix them‼️‼️😠 now "high beam problem" is coming up on dash‼️‼️ it's the Lexus gas petal issue - & that ended up causing 3 deaths‼️‼️

After starting up the CRV in the garage, I exited it and climbed a short ~100' ramp about the height of 1 story at 10 mph or less. During at least two times in the past 7 months, the engine sputtered while climbing this ramp and neared a stall point. This occurred while in Montana. After applying pressure to accelerator, sputtering stopped. Additionally, there have been numerous times at startup when the central display screen freezes, remains black, denying navigation assistance among other options. It appears the only way to correct this is to restart the vehicle.

There is a strong smell of gasoline on the dipstick when checking oil levels. Oil levels are up to 1 inch above the highest measurable level on the dip stick. I had the oil analyzed and it showed >5% oil dilution. City gas mileage is 21-22 mpg -- way below advertised mpg. See attachments.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were driving on the interstate and noticed a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment, which lasted a short period of time and went away. On another occasion we noticed the smell again. I checked the fuel fill tube but found no problem there. I also checked under the hood and detected a fuel smell but saw no evidence of a leak. While under the hood I checked the oil and smelled a strong fuel smell in the oil. The fluid level on the dipstick was 7/8' above full level. I checked and double checked the levels and smell and there was definitely gasoline in the oil. I contacted the dealership (johnson city Honda in johnson city, tn) and was told that this was a characteristic of the 1.5L engine when it was driven at low speeds and should be 'driven at higher speeds on the freeway to 'burn off' the fuel in the oil'! (we had just returned from a 750 mile interstate trip).they did change the oil but there was no resolution to the problem. Since then the oil level has increased to ' above full level and the fuel smell is present. In my opinion, gasoline in the oil presents a safety hazard in that it can ignite under extreme heat conditions and can cause respiratory issues with passengers when the smell migrates to the passenger compartment. I have received information that Honda has recalled approximately 350,000 of these vehicles in the asian market, but they have not made any attempt to correct the problem in the U.S.

Fuel in oil. Strong smell of gasoline, watery oil, increasing levels of oil after oil change.

Oil is getting diluted with gas and you can smell gas fumes in the cabin making the CR-V unsafe.

Engine oil overfill condition exists as early as 700 miles after oil change at the dealership. Engine oil is above the 'full' mark on the dipstick and the engine oil has the distinct smell of gasoline present. This problem is reported on numerous Honda CR-V owners forums and is associated with the 1.5 turbo engine. It is our fear that if this overfill condition is due to the presence of gasoline mixing with the crankcase engine oil that the results could be catastrophic engine failure, explosion, sudden loss of engine power, sudden loss of vehicle control, etc.

Strong smell of gasoline in engine oil. Oil level rises over full mark on oil dipstick sometimes strong smell of gas in and around car when parked.

Driving on freeway. Button to shift tranmission/gears disintegrated. Knew immediately that I would not be able to shift car into park, etc. Felt extremely dangerous since I was going 50+ mph when this happened. Based on level of complaints - see link - believe this should be addressed by recall. Also could easily cause a serious accident.

Gasoline getting into the oil. Dipstick read in between "the lines" on level ground. Drove 1500 miles (approx.) during a vacation. Checked oil at our destination, on level ground, and the oil level was 1/4" to 3/8" above the full line on the dipstick and smelled of gasoline. I called Honda and received a case number 08740888. Took car to dealer and was told Honda is aware of the problem but doesn't know what to do about it. Also there is a recall in china for this very problem. The dealer did change the oil.

Auto showed too much oil on dipstick reading and oil had strong smell of gas. Dealer only drained excess oil and said lights will come on if real issue. I suspected fuel in oil so had oil tested at next oil change. Test showed oil in critical state with over 5% fuel in oil. Dealer refuses to acknowledge issue. Worries include engine fire, premature engine wear and damage. Honda needs to admit problem and produce fix. Oil analysis attached.

Honda's 1.5L turbo engine oil level increases in the engine oil over time as unburnt excess fuel collects on the engine cylinder walls. The engine oil level grows quicker depending on driving conditions - sometimes colder weather, sometimes freeway speeds, there seems to be many variables. To combat the issue I am forced to change the engine oil more often for fear of engine misfires, engine damage, and premature engine wear. When I change the oil, I fill the oil to the mid engine oil dipstick mark but within 1500 miles or so the oil is at max dipstick level again with strong fuel smells. To date Honda usa has no plan for correction let alone even acknowledging the issue.

Gasoline dillution of engine oil

- Thousand Oaks, CA, USA

I parked my car and turned it off to go into a store. When I came out I found that my car had rolled backwards into another car. Fortunately there was no damage to either car, as I assume it occurred at a very low speed. When I renetered the vehicle it was still in the drive gear, which was my error. However, I don't know how the car was able to be turned off completely and locked while not even in park or even neutral. Moreover the car was in the drive gear, which I would presume would mean it would go forward, but it was still able to roll backwards. This is incredibly concerning. I called Honda and was informed there are no recalls and the best they could do was to inform their engineering team for future models. I have had other cars and was not able to turn off the ignition unless the car was in park. Honda should be forced to implement this as well as I cannot think of any reason to keep your car in drive while the engine is completely off.
