We bought our CRV from Honda of fife on 9 April 2017. Since that time, our car has had three stalls. The first two were during the month of may, 2017 as we were travelling at slow rates of speed in blizzard and heavy snow conditions in Montana and alberta; the temperatures were mild, for snow storms, probably in the mid to high 20S F. in both of these instances, the visibility was about 100' and we were alone on these roads; however, it would have been very dangerous to be parked in the middle of the road if anyone else had been coming out of the white of the storm; in both instances, the car restarted immediately. I'd thought the issue might be poor or frozen fuel so didn't report the issue to Honda. The third time the CRV stalled was on the I-10 bridge over the Mississippi at baton rouge, la.in March of 2018.the temperature was in the 60S. In this case, we were in very slow, stop and go traffic, in a very tight, narrow lane due to construction; there were no turn outs or verges. As we started the climb up the West side of the bridge, the car stalled, there were no stop lights or brakes applied as I had no warning the car was going to quit and the car behind me, barely stopped before rear ending us. It started again immediately and we did not create a long term impediment to the flow of traffic. Again, I did not report this issue as I thought it might be poor fuel. American Honda has confirmed that there is a problem with gas getting into the engine oil too; a dealer noted that our oil smelled of gas; we do not know the long term affects on the engine or any hazards the condition poses.

Oil level was noticeably higher and had a fuel smell to it. We did take it to the dealership they said there no fix for it as of now but to change my oil more often.

- Bowling Green, VA, USA

Oil engine deluted with gas. Mixed oil level rises 1 inch every 3000-5000 miles. When reaches 22mm above "max" mark on the dip stick then "check engine" light comes on and engine stalls. Honda recalled 380000 units in china for the very same issue. Here in us they do nothing except risking the life of their customers. Shame ! forums and youtube are full with the same complain even some tv news channels mentioned it. Honda, please fix your problematic engine and compensate the CR-V owners and/or buy back your overpriced junk.

1. engine oil level after a recent oil change ( with very less mileage) shows the oil level is higher than the "highest" indicator point. It appears to be oil is getting diluted by unburnt fuel. This may potentially harm the engine!!.

- Alpharetta, GA, USA

Smell of gas is strongly present on the oil dipstick. The reading of the dipstick is above the full mark and it continues to rise. Oil was always changed by dealer. Foul smell is sometimes very noticeable on the outside of the car. Car heat in cold weather is very very slow before it heats the interior.

I have been noticing a fuel smell in the passenger cabin. It seems to be a major issue. I have been told from the dealer to change the oil and let the car warm up longer. That's the fix. Come on Honda. This is ridiculous. You NHTSA need to make sure Honda is held totally responsible.

When checking the engine oil approximately one month ago, the oil level exceeded the "high" mark on the dipstick. The oil also had a strong smell of gasoline. I took the car to my local Honda dealer and they changed the oil. After driving the car ~2000 miles after the oil change, the oil level again exceeds to high mark on the dipstick and smells strongly of gasoline.

- Lakeland, TN, USA

After reading articles delineating that the 2017 and 2018 Honda CRV 1.5L turbo charged engines were receiving complaints regarding fuel mixing with the oil, I checked the oil and found that the dipstick was above the upper mark by a quarter of an inch and the oil smelled like gasoline. Changed the oil and found that the oil viscosity was runny and the old oil had a strong fuel smell. Prior to changing the oil, I had been noticing a fuel smell from time to time within the passenger compartment of the car while driving.

- Greensboro, NC, USA

Oil reading was too high pass the max level plus fuel smell mixed in with oil. ( engine oil dilution )

- Haymarket, VA, USA

Upon removing the oil cap, there is a very strong odor of gasoline. After further research we found that this seems to be a problem this make and model of vehicle made by Honda. We will be contacting the service department at our local Honda dealer where the vehicle was purchase 10/2017. This vehicle has been driven about 1,500 miles. Very concerned about the reported stalls and long term effect of the engine itself. I am also concerned with potential of the vehicle stalling and losing both power steering and ABS. I want this issue on record with the NHTSA.

While driving my 2017 Honda CR-V ex-L on highway (the trip was about 10 hours), about half way of my trip, I could not reach the speed to 55mph with speed limit of 70mph. My odometer was reading around 30000mi. About two months later (just two weeks ago) I took another 2 hour one way trip, similar thing happened to me again on my way back (I could only drive at about 60mph with speed limit of 70mph). I raised the issue with local Honda dealer and they told me to schedule an appointment. I will see what they are going to tell me about the diagnostic checkup. In addition to above possible engine/power/fuel related issues, I had two incidents of dead battery without doing anything after stopping my car. One time (summer 2018) I drove to my son's private teacher's house and parked outside. After the lesson I couldn't start my car. It took 4 hours for Honda roadside assistance to come and found out the battery was dead. After the gentleman jump started my car it was driving fine. In September 2018 I did my oil change, the dealer's exam showed battery life good. Then just about 4 weeks ago in October 2018, my car parked in my garage and it couldn't start again. The roadside assistance found out the battery was dead and no battery life. Honda dealer replaced the battery for me.

Fuel smell, oil dilution, potential unexpected engine failure

- Wellford, SC, USA

I've got 21000 miles on this car which I bought brand new. It's been to the dealership at least four times for the following: All warning lights come on the first time it happened I couldn't release the electronic parking brake. I was told oil was mixing with gas and that Honda has a fix 'coming soon' I'm afraid to drive this car. The car was stationary each time

- North Charleston, SC, USA

Vehicle loses power under acceleration. Oil dilution seems to be the aparent cause. Oil level is way above the 'max' level in the oil dipstick. Strong gas smell in the cabin. Problem is widespread among owners of this vehicle (1.5 turbo engine). Honda says 'it's normal', but then promises that 'problem is going to be fixed in next year model'.

- Round Rock, TX, USA

After learning of the fuel in oil problem via an article in consumer reports, I checked my oil, which had been changed 2,500 prior to that check. The oil smelled strongly of gasoline, and the level was very high. I called the dealership from which I'd purchased the car I have to take the car in next week to have the dealer check it out Honda has been aware of this problem for quite some time but failed to notify owners. In fact, broad notification has yet to take place. I want this fixed. If Honda doesn't move more rapidly, they've lost me as a customer.

My oil level is above normal and smells of gasoline. No other symptoms so far.

- York, PA, USA

Cabin smells of gasoline after driving short distance then stopped while idling (think going through a drive through, leave house, travel a few miles, wait in line -- that is when it smells of gas). Smell of gas from oil dipstick when checking levels and oil level appears to be higher than normal (dealer services vehicle).

- Milton, KS, USA

2017 Honda CRV with 1.5 L turbo 4 cylinder engine. Health hazard: Noted gasoline fumes in cabin after starting the car. The fumes are coming in through the ventilation system. Happening in both cold and hot weather. Car has 30K miles on it. Fumes noticed when car is stationary after starting it. Also found to have gas entering oil pan, diluting the oil, and causing high oil levels. Similar reports from many other owners of this vehicle with this engine and apparently a major recall in china for the problem. Am concerned about hydrocarbon levels in the passenger cabin which can be a major health hazard. Just because the fumes dissipate after a minute or so does not necessarily mean that the hydrocarbon levels in the cabin are normal for the rest of the ride. Other major concern is premature wear on the engine due to gas mixing with oil. Another concern is reports of crvs with this problem stalling at high speeds and failing to accelerate properly. Honda usa has not addressed the problem as of this date nor have they offered any solutions. I feel like I wasted over $30K on a vehicle that is now unsafe and destined to premature engine failure. I think there needs to be a recall to fix this problem.
