Along with my gas in the oil tank issue, the car does not heat up any longer. It was 37 degrees here in NY and my car is only outputting cold air. I've taken my vehicle to the dealership already and they could not fix either issue. I am extremely frustrated.

Infotainment screen will randomly flash, dim and beep. This has caused several safety issues including high level of distraction and failure of the navigation system at all the wrong times. This happens randomly when the vehicle is in motion or stopped. The problem has been reported to the dealer and they have failed to find a solution. They claim no one else has reported similar problems. This is laughable due to all of the online complaints and youtube videos documenting the same problem. They have refused to attempt a repair or replacement of affected defected components.

Adaptive cruise works fine, except when it is unable to identify a stationary vehicle in front at a stop light. This happens when the vehicle is on adaptive cruise set and it fails to identify the stationary vehicle in front of it.

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!!.

The detent for the automatic shifter just popped off and I had no way to shift the vehicle into park or any other gear for that matter. I checked google and there are a large number of other people dealing with this same defect.

A situation in which the dashboard lights show multiple system failures including failures of the rdm, cruise control, brakes and cmbs. This has happened twice, including a second time immediately after the dealer "fixed" the problem. The car has beed stopped but idling in both situation. I drove immediately to the dealership the first time and did not even leave the dealership the second time. An indication of a "brake system failure" is disconcerting even though there seems to be no affect on vehicle performance, other than these safety features being rendered inoperable.

After I pulled into my garage, stopped the vehicle, and put it into park, I released the shifter interlock button and it popped out and landed on the floor. For the past few weeks I thought the button had more play in it when, but figured that I was imagining it because what could go wrong with a button on a vehicle with only 7500 miles on it. I brought the vehicle to the dealer this morning and they ordered replacement parts and scheduled an appointment for the repair. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't give me a loaner and tell me to stop driving it since not being to shift a vehicle into park (if the button were to fall out while driving) seems like a safety issue.

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 was driving at about 45mph, and had to stopped in median of road to turn right. All of a sudden my Honda CRV 2017 stopped and all dashboard lights started flashing, it started showing all the following problems. 1) brake system problem 2) brake hold system problem 3) airbag system (SRS) problem 4) power steering system (eps) problem 5) anti-lock brake system problem 6) vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem 7) hill start assist problem 8) adaptive cruise control problem 9) collision mitigation system problem 10) road departure mitigation system problem 11) auto high-beam problem 12) tire pressure monitor problem 13) all wheel drive system problem 14) lane keeping assist cannot operate 15) seat belt warning on and beeping even though seat belt was being worn. I tried to turn off, and turn on, nothing happened. Exited the vehicle, checked the car. No physical damage. Tried to start 2-3 times more, still no luck. I called the roadside assistance, and towed the car to dealer. Dealer kept the car for 4 hours, and called me that it was low gas issue, and charged me $88. I am sure it was not low gas, and even if it was low gas, car warning should tell its not starting due to low gas. It should not be that all 15 errors start showing on dashboard.

I have smelled gasoline three times recently when driving. I called the Honda headquarters. They told me this problem is something they are working on. There is no fix for it at this time. They claim gas leaks into the oil filter which can affect the engine. I am concerned about my safety snd a possible engine problem. I have received no satisfaction. In addition I have had two other major problems in the short time I am driving my car. My battery needed to be replaced 7 months after I drove out of the dealership I was parked in a parking lot when my battery died. Recently the gear shift knob broke off when it was in drive and I was not able to shift gears. I was dropping off a passenger. It was replaced.

The transmission shifter button fell off when the vehicle was in drive and my spouse could not release the brake in order to collect the button and place the vehicle in park she had to pull off the road, turn off the engine and then find the button on the floor in order to resolve the issue. Honda seems to have a taken a very casual response to this issue which should be treated as a serious concern. From all of the research and press I reviewed regarding this problem, the answer is to use a pair of pliers to change gears or glue the plastic piece in place. I believe this recall should be mandated versus take it to the dealer so he can glue it back in. This vehicle was a considerable amount of money spent not to have a transmission work as intended.
