Yesterday I got in my car to head home from work. When I turned it on, I got a number of systems alerts, including the engine, brakes, power steering and others. I was able to get the car home, but when I was going to take it the dealership, the car sputtered and seems to be losing power as if it would stall. This is the third time that I have gotten system alerts and taken the car to be repaired. The first time, the oil was changed and a software update performed. The second time, a software update was performed. This time, I checked the oil and it was over full and smelled of gas. The car is now at the dealership for them to determine the issue. I live in Texas. The first time this happened, was during the summer. The last two times have been in winter.

I recently bough a used 2017 Honda CR-V. it had only 29,000 miles with a fresh oil change before purchase. I have put over 1,000 miles on it since purchase. I recently was informed of oil dilution problems with the 1.5L turbo and decided to confirm if my vehicle was affected. I checked the oil from the engine after letting it cool and my oil level was above the max level. Also, there is a strong smell of gasoline coming from the oil. This deeply concerns me as the oil level shouldn't be above the max level and the increased wear that can occur from diluted oil. Honda has yet to issue a recall or admit this is a widespread issue. I will be contacting Honda in hopes of full resolution.

Fuel is leaking down into the oil pan raising the oil levels on the dip stick as mileage increases, which will result in premature potential engine failure. This is also going to hurt the resale value of the vehicle. For example, 2K miles after last oil change, oil levels have increased to a quarter inch above recommended "full level" displayed on the dipstick.

Went to local Honda dealer for regular oil change maintenance. After completing, noticed car seemed to be stalling and slow/non response in accelerating. By the time I got home about 7 miles away, all warning lights came up and car would not accelerate and go more than 5 mp/H. very fortunately this happen near my home where traffic is light. Would have been very dangerous if it had occurred on highway

Engine oil has a flashpoint of 215 degrees and 8.5% fuel to oil ratio as measured by an independent laboratory, blackstone laboratories. Two tests have been performed and show dangerously low flashpoint levels and out of spec viscosity. The flashpoint is within the operating range of the engine. I am afraid of what could happen. Dealership will not fix the problem and they can only change the oil at the prescribed time indicated by the car. Flash point is extremely serious.

  • 500 miles
Since the purchase of our new 2017 Honda CR-V, there has been gasoline getting into the engine oil. The oil level indicator or dip-stick shows the oil far above the full mark and there is an obvious strong oder of gasoline. When first starting the car, gasoline odors are very strong in the exhaust and sometimes within the car interior. Gasoline is considered a solvent and it will reduce the life of the engine if it is always leaking into the engine oil. I'm very concerned about safety and an engine fire. I contacted the service department three times about the problem. At my last visit, Honda finally acknowledge the problem a provided a software update. The problem remains unchanged. I'm very disappointed and frustrated with my new car and want some help getting it fixed or help with returning the car back to Honda and reimbursed for the cost. The problem occurs all the time, in cold and warm weather.

My 2017 CRV has been smelling of gasoline. When I checked the oil dipstick, the oil level was above the full mark. I contacted my dealership and explained this issue. Shortly afterward, I received a recall/"update" notice in the mail for this problem. I took my car into the dealership and the repairs were made (software update, replaced ac unit, oil change). One month has passed, and again, the oil levels are high and the cabin smells of gasoline. The oil level on the dipstick is, again, over the full mark. I contacted both the dealership and american Honda Motors regarding this issue. I have been given a case number and am waiting to hear back from America Honda Motors. I am taking pictures of the oil levels on the dipstick, documenting all contacts made with both the Honda dealership and America Honda Motors, and retaining all paperwork regarding repairs to my car concerning this issue.

One day as I was driving, all problem lights on my dashboard began to turn on, chime, and and giving messages such as "tire pressure monitoring poblem", brake system, break hold system, power steering, etc..." and my features such as cruise control and break hold became disabled. We had the spark plugs changed and the problem continued. We did an oil change and discovered that there was over 5 quarts of oil collected when only 3.5 had been pured in, also the oil was smelling like gasoline. We started researching and it seems that this is a problem with this car/model. Mechanic diagnosed lower compression on cylinder #4 and kept getting a cylinder #4 error.
