The 2019 Honda Ridgeline truck was driving at 70MPH for one hour at 25F temperature. After exiting the ramp, the Check Engine Light started flashing, lost power and the engine was running very rough and cannot drive more than 35MPH. Stopped on the side of the road, turned the engine off and then back on and the truck was driveable again. Had this truck for 4 years now and had this problem once or twice every winter.

Smell of fuel or burnt oil emanating from engine compartment and entering cabin through HVAC system when idling. Warm engine also emanates fuel/burnt oil smell after it is parked and shut off. When parked in an enclosed garage the smell can be overwhelming. Took to the dealer for inspection but they claim they can not duplicate the issue. When researching online indications are it may be a leaking PCV hose that is allowing fumes to permeate. The situation is ongoing and frequently noticeable both in the cabin and outside the vehicle.
