Gasoline is getting into the oil. Symptoms are a gas smell in the cabin and the level on the dipstick is above the top fill level. This condition can cause the vehicle to stop running causing a dangerous condition. Honda is repairing cars in cold weather states only. A tsb was issued in October 22, 2018. Why aren't they repairing all of the vehicles with this problem? I had the oil changed on my car and the oil level was 1/2 over the fill mark.

Our 2018 Honda CRV touring has the oil dilution problem. Our oil level increased about 3/4 inch on the oil stick from may, 2018 to December, 2018 and it smells like gas. We have also smelled gas inside our car. Honda is fixing some cars, but we live in Arkansas and our state is not on the list to be repaired. We could have an engine fire so feel it is not safe to drive. Also, the engine will wear out a lot faster with the dilution....even though the Honda dealer said it won't!!

Engine oil was diluted with gasoline, causing possible motor damage. Dealer redid a fuel mapping, and made it so teh fan cannot blow until the car is fully warmed. This wont correct the issue. These direct injected motors let gasoline past the rings when cold, and if the car is cold frequently, the gasoline will not vaporize form the oil. If left unchecked, the increased volume of liquid can cause the car to lsoe power and shut off at any time, causing a safety risk. I live in Texas, so it doesn't get exceptionally cold, but this happened on a brand new car with less than 2500 miles on it at the time. Internet searches show thousands of people having the same issue. A recall should be forced to correct these issues, and keep people safe.

I have the 2018 touring 1.5L turbo charged model. I am experiencing the fuel in oil issue and Honda says Nevada is not included in the update. I purchased this car brand new and want it fixed. I drive in a very cold climate on short trips, which is when they say the issue is occurring in this models.

Extra oil in the engine; during the previous oil change I followed the oem's recommendation and added the proper amount of oil to the engine (3.5L or 3.7qt). However, when I did the last oil change I drained 5qts of oil out of the engine, how is this possible?

My 2018 cry had over ful oil level on dipstick and bad smell of fuel in oil. Took it into dealership and they acknowledged the issue was known in northern states but not in Texas where I live. The service manager said a fix is being issued in northern states and he said that he would call me in few weeks to schedule the fix for my CRV. It's been 1 month and I have not heard from service manager. I checked oil level after 1 month of driving and the level is above full with a smell of gas once again. This is most likely causing damage to my engines longevity.

Honda gas in oil. When in for their recall. Oil was changed and A/C module replaced. I never checked the oil for gas but feel this problem must cause some engine damage. Would like to see a formal recall with proper corrective action. Dealer seemed evasive when asked to explain the problem, no big deal just gas in the oil.

October 2018 we took our new C rv on a trip to nashville, tn from traverse city, mi. The check engine light came on and the oil can icon lit up. I called the Honda dealer where I bought the C rv from and they had no idea what was going on. I got out and checked the oil and found it high. I brought the Honda to a quick lube to check it. They changed the oil then sent me on my way. After arriving back home tc a few weeks later we got a recall letter from Honda. On Wednesday, December 26th, williams Honda in tc did the recall work. On Thursday my wife got in the vehicle to go shopping and the heater would not work. She called the Honda dealer and brought the Honda to them. They said that they did not cause the heater to not work with the recall repair. After doing something, the heater began to work again. This is very worrisome, we are not sure what to do next. On an earlier occasion our new CR-V would not start as after only 30 minutes of sitting the battery was dead. The Honda dealer told us you can't leave any lights on as the battery wont last very long.

Engine oil becomes overfilled with gasoline. It is visible when checking the oil level on the dip stick. Also the dipstick smells of gasoline.

Stationary:gas intrusion into oil. Dipstick reeks of gas. Oil viscosity appears watery. Strong gas smell in garage after parking (heated garage) - takes 6-8 hrs to dissipate smell driving and stationary: Strong gas smell into driver/front passenger area, outside perimeter of car and under hood - smell appears to come into cabin with heater on through vents. Windows have to be rolled down and heater off to get rid of smell - my eyes water, throat becomes tight and nose starts stinging immediately - headaches start after approximately 30 minutes of driving and continue for 4-5 hrs as do the other symptoms this cabin/under hood gas smell has happened with outside temps from 28-60 degrees. Gas smell is more concentrated after driving and parking the car and then turning off engine and returning to car to start engine within 10 minutes to 4 hrs - it literally makes me nauseous and dizzy. This happens whether car is in garage, driving on city street or highway. Has become worse the past 6 weeks (car was purchased new in June 2018) from Honda dealer in central Illinois. It currently has 2500 miles on odometer what about a fire under hood from excess fuel not being burned off" I am concerned about my health and emissions have driven many types of cars for over 50 yrs and never had these gas intrusion issues or oil intrusion from fuel what happens when I need to "air car out" because of smell and it's raining or snowing? the potential for engine damage in concerning - example: How does gas mixed with oil, lubricate an engine and its related components properly? why is there excess build up of fuel in oil pan? why am I subjected to the noxious, hideous, and sickening gas smell in cabin" therefore, I would expect at a minimum extended drive train/engine warranty to 6 yrs from Honda which was granted in Canada and want gas smell eliminated

I can smell gas in the car, but I don't see a leak. Happens when the car is cold.

- Buford, GA, USA

Engine oil contaminated by gasoline. Strong smell of gasoline in oil and cabin. Oil has the viscosity of water. NHTSA needs to step up and do its job and force Honda to recall this vehicle. Called Honda customer service and asked if the tested CRV engine and all I received was silence over the phone. My engine has been compromised as I drove 12,000 miles so far. If NHTSA does not do its job in recalling this vehicle everyone there should be fired. I hope someone there of any authority reads this complaint. Again NHTSA do your job.
