- Brooklyn, NY, USA

Engine oil dipstick shows oil level above full and smells of gas. Honda dealer claims no knowledge of a problem although it is well known in internet auto blogs. I had my oil tested at blackstone laboratories and the report states it contains 3.3% of fuel and 'a fair amount of metal present', and a flashpoint of 305 degrees when it should be above 370. This is a new car with only 3534 miles on it. Oil diluted with gas could cause my engine to freeze up while driving due to lack of proper lubrication. This is a serious problem in a turbo engine and will end its life prematurely and possibly cause an accident

The vehicle has a known issue by Honda with unsafe levels of oil dilution in the 1.5 cvt turbo engine. Gas is mixing in with the oil, causing oil levels to rise. The fumes of gasoline are entering into the cabin space and making it unsafe to breathe. The engine is also having stalling issues due to gas mixing in with the oil in the engine area. This also has an issue with the ability to keep the car warm and providing adequate heat into the cabin area. The components of this engine are unsafe for cold weather climates such as the northeast. The car can not warm up the engine sufficiently at idle and therefore will not blow any hot air into the cabin area. The manufacturer states the car needs to be operating at highway speeds for approximately 10 minutes to gain sufficient engine warmth. This is not acceptable, as many owners of this vehicle have families and children, and we make short trips back and forth. For the car to be cold and blow cold air and not be able to warm up is a failure by the manufacturer to provide a safe vehicle. Honda case number 06673515

- Sioux City, IA, USA

I check engine oil yesterday and found level very high on dipstick and smelling strongly of gasoline. I called the Honda dealer checkered flag where I purchased the vehicle and took it directly there.it had only been 180 miles driven since last oil change at dealer. They offered to change oil again and then told me to keep checking oil level and return to dealer in 1000 miles. I was told the oil level was half quart over filled and was because gas was not being burned during combustion because engine was not hot enough. They said it was normal and not to worry. I don't think the oil will protect my engine when it is so diluted with gasoline.I filed a complaint and got a case number [xxx] from Honda America, but want the problem to be fixed before there is long term damage to my engine.

While driving vehicle in the city, check engine light flashes on and off. Vehicle loses power and will not accelerate, creating serious safety issue. Dealer confirmed engine oil dipstick had unusally strong smell of gasoline. Vehcile has been serviced once by Honda dealer. I was assured that all necessary fixes were made. Same issue happened again. Returned vehicle to Honda dealer for additional service.

- Logan, UT, USA

The oil dipstick is showing the oil level to be substantially higher than the max oil level. I took it to the Honda dealer 1/2/19. They showed me a service bulletin indicating that gas could be mixing with the oil, but Honda considered that a normal operating condition for that model. They offered no solution to the problem, but did change the oil at my request. I consider gas mixing with the crankcase oil a serious problem. Action should be taken to remedy this problem.

Gasoline enters engine oil causing it overfills and far exceeding the max mark. Engine oil also has a strong smell of gasoline. It may cause long term damage to the engine with engine oil diluted.

- Gainesville, VA, USA

Upon seeing all of the complaints about the 1.5 liter turbo engine in the CR-V's and civics, I inspected the oil in my 2017 Honda CR-V only 100 miles after it was changed by the local Honda dealer. I pulled out the dipstick and noticed that the oil level was over the recommended limit and it was very dark in color. I leaned into the engine and noticed a strong presence of a gasoline smell. I have also noticed the presence of this smell before inside of the cabin but I thought it could be from something else. I am convinced it's coming from the engine. Honda needs to do something about this.

- Countryside, IL, USA

My car has a strong smell of gas on the dip stick and it is over the full mark. I have already taken my CR-V to the dealership I purchased my car at. They recognize the gas smell and over full mark. The service department changed the oil December 12th. 2018 today is December 24th 2018. I checked the oil when the car was cold and on a flat surface and the dip stick shows overfill and has a strong smell of gas.

- Austin, TX, USA

My 2017 Honda CRV has fuel in the oil, confirmed by dealership. The last time I had it to dealership they confirmed it had 2 quarts of fuel in the crankcase oil. This is a hazard because the engine could overheat and lock up as I drive, which could lead to an accident. This also lowers the value of my car. The dealership can't fix it! I have driven the car approximately 800 miles since last oil change. It is currently a quart high on dipstick and oil smells of fuel.
