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.

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

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

I got engin lights on my car and went to the dealership to know what happened with the car. The dealer just ignore the problem and remove the lights from the the dash. I went to dealership 1 several times for that problem and evry time he did the same thing. That time I had the warranty on my vehicle but as soo as I went over with the warranty, they want to fix it. They gave estimated of $1200-1500. They said I have to change radar sensor. Then I went to the second dealership and they said completely differently thing (4 clyender needed to change). Then I went to the third dealership and they said my car fuel system has some problems. Then I went to the out side shop they notified me that your car has manufacture problem. Now my vehicle has engine light and gas mileage went down.

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.

- Florence, CO, USA

Oil crank case is too high due to excess fuel in oil. This causes fuel smell in cabin and stalling of the engine. But more importantly, the engine will suffer from premature engine wear and failure due to lack of lubrication. This is not a cold weather issue as my dilution need happened in the summer and I only do highway driving with long duration. Honda refuses to fix the problem.

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.

Sometimes, I am able to smell odor of gasoline during driving in the cabin from last winter season. It is getting worse during these days. I found 2017-2018 CR-V engine has problem which engine oil mixes with gasoline. I checked oil level and it is really increased and I could smell gasoline with engine oil. How can I solve this problem? I am not able to find recall information. I think it is quite severe and affect to driving and car maintenance.

At 6,000 miles engine is experiencing oil dilution. Oil is above max level on dipstick and smells strongly of gas, vehicle was cold and stationary when oil level was checked. Called a nearby Honda service center and they advised that the vehicle should be brought in for an oil change. The vehicle was just in for scheduled maintenance (including an oil change) 1,000 miles ago. An automobile should not require an oil change after 1,000 miles of use.

At 15,000 miles, I have found that gasoline is contaminating the crankcase oil even though I do not live in a cold climate or drive very short distances. My local Honda dealer has confirmed this problem but has no fix and has received no guidance from Honda.
