I purchased my car from brown's Honda 712 crain highway, glen burnie, md 21061 on June 20,2017. On October 6, 2018 ibecame aware of a very serious problem with my car that has the new 1.5 L turbocharged engine. I noticed that the oil level, as shown on the dip stick, was at least 0.5 inches above the top fill mark. I immediately drained the oil and discovered that the volume of oil was 4.75 quarts or 28% above the car's specification of 3.7 quarts. The drained oil was very black in color and to the touch felt less viscous than new 0-20 oil. It appears that the increased volume is due to gasoline mixing with the oil. On Oct 6,2018 (current odometer reading11467 miles) the oil had run in the engine for about 5400 miles. My first oil change at the dealer was at 6000 miles on 4/16/2018. As you are aware, dilutionof the oil with gasoline is a serious problem that will inevitably lead to premature engine failure and operability/safety problems in the future such as stalling. I visited the brown's Honda dealership today 10/8/2018 and explained the issue stated above. The service director, advised me to keep checking the oil level and come back if any running issues occur. The dealer isunable to correct the issue of gasoline leaking into the oil.this problem substantially impairs the future value of my car and potentially it's safety. Gasoline in the engine oil will lead to premature engine failure.

Called a nearby Honda service center and they advised that the vehicle should be brought in for an oil change.

2 separate concerns! in the past year there have been several occasions that I smelled gasoline inside the vehicle. When first entering after the car had been parked. This occurred during the past 6 to 8 months. Strong odor. There is gasoline mixing with the engine oil. When you check the oil level it is always way overfilled. It is overfilled due to the gasoline mixing with the engine oil. Lubricating oil is being mixed with solvent - gas. There is the very strong odor of gas as soon as you pull the oil dipstick. The Honda dealership did not make any repair, this is noted on my work order.

I have observed high oil levels and raw fuel odors on the dip stck, along with raw fuel odors in the cabin. I know Honda is aware of the issue but has offered no guidance. Tell they have a fix in place, Honda should be giving free oil changes to prevent engine damage and premature wear and tear.

When driving and approaching to enter to a highway when you have to speed up the CR-V hesitates to build speed and somewhat stalls even when flooring the throttle pedal. Incoming traffic suddenly need to lower their speed and I became concerned that they possibly could hit me. The CR-V resumed to build up speed and function properly but at a great expense of being utterly nervous when this could haplen again. The unit was just serviced for oil and filter and inspected. What should I do?
