Engine oil was 1 quart overfull. Oil smells like gasoline. Engine oil visibly thinner than normal. Reportedly, this problem is systemic with CR-V's as ours with the turbo 4 cylinder. The gasoline should be evaporating due to engine temp; but, it's not -- as a result the gasoline dilutes the engine oil and causes the oil level to rise.

I noticed a gas smell in my cabin of the car and checked the oil and noticed a gas smell there too. I looked it up online and there are a number of complaints of this issue but no recalls from Honda. I am trying to get an appointment, but it's been difficult.

Excessive oil in sump. Root cause is fuel mixed with oil.

- Northport, NY, USA

Fuel is mixing in oil. The oil dipstick smells like gas and there is a gasoline smell in the cabin when the heat is on. Honda calls it abnormal oil dilution. Took it to the dealer he put documentation of oil smell on dipstick on receipt but said Honda has no fix for this in Kansas. Called Honda of America customer service referred to claim management team who said no fix for this in Kansas and he "doesn't think it will hurt the engine" even immediatly after oil change the dipstick still smelled like gas even after wiping it. I believe that oil dilution can cause wear damage to an engine. I drive my CRV 3 miles to work.

I occasionally noticed the smell of gasoline around the car. When I checked the oil level it was about 1/4 in. Above the full mark on the dipstick. I took the car to the dealer (scott Honda of West chester) where they confirmed the high oil level and noted the smell of gasoline in the oil. I was told this is a known problem with the turbo engine but Honda did not have a fix available. The dealer called Honda America and was authorized to change the oil under warranty.

Crankcase is filling with gasoline from the cylinders causing a high level on the oil dipstick (approx.1/2 inch above the high mark) also known as oil dilution.oil had no viscosity when I changed it and it reaked of gasoline.two different Honda dealers and american Honda customer service all acknowledged that there aware of the issue but they haven't come up with a remedy yet.meanwhile my vehicles engine and I am sure thousands more are being prematurely abused and worn because of gasoline (solvent) in the oil.Honda needs to make this right and soon!

I discovered fuel in the oil of my 2017 turbo Honda cr V when checking the oil level. I have approximately 2500 miles since my last oil change. I took the car to beaverton Honda on 11/16/2018 to check it out. They "verified customer's concerns of fuel in engine oil." They also "adjusted oil level" and then referred me to a Honda video on youtube. It would appear that they simply removed good oil to make room for more gas in the oil. This is unacceptable and dangerous.. apparently, Honda does not have a fix for this issue.

On 10-11-18 I received an email from consumer reports which included an article about issues with Honda's 1.5 turbo engines. I had recently been noticing engine response lag, on my 2017 CRV touring, so I went out and checked my oil level. I immediately noticed a fuel smell on the dip stick. The oil level was approximately 1 inch over the top mark. (till now I had not noticed an issue when checking oil level periodically since my 6-19-2018 oil change). I called the service dept. At my Honda dealership and was scheduled for an appointment on 10/18/2018. They scheduled me for an oil change. When I arrived for the appointment the service rep. Said he had just talked to their Honda rep. Who confirmed the issue and was told that a fix was to be rolled out in November 2018. I have been checking the oil level periodically since the October service and it has been creeping up regularly. As of 11-16-18 the oil level is again above the orange plastic piece that contains the high/low markings. I am very concerned about short and long-term damage to the engine and overall safety. This is our 7th new Honda and was expecting this to be our travel vehicle for many years.

- Tiffin, OH, USA

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

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.

Check engine light comes on after putting gas in (fueling) hesitation while driving, vehicle has less than 15,000 miles, have taken vehicle to dealer several times, explained what was going on, they insist the codes read O2 sensor and seal, still not fixed.

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.

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'.
