I bought the Honda CRV June 2018, I checked the oil around 3000 miles and found gas in the oil. I called Honda they said it just needed an update. When I questioned them about the for the damage being done to the piston, bearing and valves, they told me with the new synthetic oil there would be no damage. I made an appointment which was 4 weeks out that was the soonest they could get me in.it is now December 2 the gas is in the oil the mileage 4012 I will be calling Honda Dec.3 Monday for another appointment for another oil change and update.

Strong gasoline smell on engine dipstick and vehicle only has 128 miles

- Arlington, TX, USA

Purchased a new 2018 Honda CR-V ex in Florida 4/18. Worked fine until a recent trip to Indiana where it was subjected to cold temperatures. The vehicle would not heat for 10 minutes and it's performance seemed to suffer compared to how it was operating in warmer Florida. The worst part was the faint smell of gasoline in the car the entire time in Indiana. Wasn't sure what would have caused that until I returned to Florida and started investigating the matter and found out about the oil dilution problem and the small of gasoline in the oil. There is no smell of gasoline in the vehicle now that it's back in Florida, so I have to assume it had something to do with the cold climate it was subjected to. In either case I need to travel to Indiana in the winter frequently and the problem with gasoline fumes in the cabin (whatever it's cause) needs to be fixed. I now read where Honda is going to roll out a fix, but it will only cover CR-V's in northern states. If that's the case then that is not right! what about people like me that travel from warm climate Florida to Indiana in the winter - we shouldn't have to endure gasoline fumes and we shouldn't have to live with potential harm to our vehicles. We should all have the modification done to our CR-V's.

Purchased my 1.5 ltr CRV in August of 2018, during the 2nd week in November of 2018, the temperature dropped below 30 degrees F. I would start the car and let it run idle to heat up but even after 20 min, the engine temp gauge remained at the lowest level but would rise once driving the vehicle. The heat only comes out moderately warm and the temp gauge goes back down when the vehicle is at a stop. During the past few days or so, I started experiencing a smell of gasoline fumes in the cabin of the car. I get headaches, dizziness, nausea, and chest pains and an overall ill feeling after driving the vehicle which remains for about 4 to 5 hours later. I decided to check the oil and it smelled like gasoline and was way over the maximum level. I called the Honda dealership today 11/28, who called Honda corporate to try and get me a loaner car and Honda corporate stated that the car is safe to drive. The car is definitely not safe to drive and is making me feel extremely ill. I hope Honda takes responsibility for this issue.

Oil dilution issue, the oil level of the vehicle is well above the full mark on the dipstick. I have seen other reports of this and have been monitoring the situation for several weeks. Each time upon checking oil level there has been an increase. As of today it appears to be about 1/2 inch above the full mark.

Engine oil dilution - gasoline is leaking into the engine and diluting the engine oil. It causes the engine to stall. It smells like gasoline a lot inside the car in the passenger seat. The engine does not get warmed up fast enough. The engine operates too cold even after driving about a mile distance. Another major issue is that the engine oil is leaking out. Leaked oil is observed under the engine where the transmission and the engine join. The dealers in us would not fix these issues or do not even have a fix for them although it is major issues for many 9th gen Cr-vs.

Smell of gasoline in engine oil, and the oil level is above max level (hasn't been driven in a few days). Hasn't caused problems yet but reporting as a precautionary measure as there seems to be many other such reports. The car is less than 4 months old.

Changed oil at 5000 miles. Oil level was over seven quarts after drained. Is only supposed to have 3.7 quarts. Notified dealer of condition. Fuel is leaking into oil pan

- Fenton, MO, USA

Oil becomes diluted with gasoline. Oil level exceeds measure indicator. Gas smell penetrates the cabin. Gas smell also in oil. Not sure when it began to occur.

- Washougal, WA, USA

Gas is getting into the engine oil causing oil viscosity loss. It is also causing to much fluid in the oil pan and potentially damaging engine internals with to much fluid and loss of lubrication. Engine does not reach operating temperature in cold weather, causing poor performance and not heat from the HVAC system.

Honda engine oil issue. Vehicle was purchased new 8/20/2018. Checked the oil 11/17/2018 and was.25 inch over the orange max line. Did an oil change at home. Oil was watery and smelled very strongly of gasoline.

- Dubuque, IA, USA

I checked my oil after reading about other people having an issue with gasoline in the crankcase. The oil level was over the fill mark by a substantial amount and there was a distinct smell of gasoline coming from the oil filler cap. The car was two weeks old and had 225 miles on it. I took it to dealer and was told they did not smell gasoline and the oil level looked good. Total lies. They told me I was the first one to complain about this issue. They basically told me there was no problem. There was an obvious problem but did not want to deal with it.

Oil has gas leaking into in in brand new CRV. Continuous issue ongoing.

- Knoxville, TN, USA

There is an extremely high reading on the engine oil dipstick. A strong smell of gasoline is present in the engine's oil. The oil reads about half an inch higher on the dipstick than the maximum mark indicates.
