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.

Bought new on January 24, 2018. Driving car on freeway and at 312 miles all warning light came on, cruise and all other electronic system were down. When we stopped the car and restarted it the computer came back up and work. On the way back at 572 miles on CRV the system shut down again, requiring shutting down and starting car up to reset computer. Contacted local dealer and they said dust and weather will cause it to fail but there was no dust and clear day. After the dealer work on it said there was nothing wrong, had oil changed at dealer on Oct 18th 2018, Oct 30 2018 on I 90 East bound the radio locked up and would not work had to restart car to reboot the computer, on Nov 5th 2018 at 605pm all warning light came on again had to stop car and restart to get thing running, check oil on Nov 19th found that I have a lot of gas in oil, way over dip stick full line

[ poss. Gas in oil ] have been seeing oil level rising after first oil change at 7100 miles. Oct.15. At 9100 level was approx. 3/8 of an inch above the high mark on dipstick. Took car to jeff wyler Honda, and talked to service manager who stated that there may be a fix coming but as of now nothing. Told me to watch oil level for maybe another 1000 miles. On Nov.17 oil level was almost up 1 inch above high mark on dipstick. Nov. 19, took to dealer and had oil changed early ( 3000 ) miles. Dealer stated oil was up about 1/2 qt. I have a picture of dipstick on ipad but not sure how to upload it.

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.

Gas mixing in with oil, smelling the gas on the dip stick and while doing an oil change.

Gasoline leaking into the oil, fuel odors in cabin, engine hesitancy

- Homer Glen, IL, USA

Purchased new 2018 Honda CR-V AWD December 2017 from dealer in orlando fl. Within first few months of ownership had multiple occasions where "gas/fuel" smell filled the cabin of car while driving. It was brought to my attention by a friend (late summer) that there appears to be issue with the 1.5 L earthdreams Honda engine. Area of issue is oil dilution by fuel "leaking" into it & mixing. I then began researching this issue and was quite surprised to find that Honda had already recalled a huge number of vehicles in china with this oil dilution issue on this specific engine. When I called my Honda dealer to ask about issue/repair, I was told by service advisor that they were not aware of any issue of this type and there were no active recalls/tsbs regarding issue. Wow? that's when my concern level rose, as on the dealer level there seems to be complete denial/admittance of any problem. Other Honda owners of vehicles with this engine have experienced "gas odor" in cabin, poor performance and even stalling of engine while driving vehicle. I have not had a stalling issue (yet) - but I drive vehicle frequently in moderate /heavy traffic areas and can't imagine the danger that could result from my car "stalling" while I'm driving(or my wife or daughter).another "check" to verify if my car has this issue is to examine oil level on dipstick. When my oil level is checked, the level tends to read high (even above full line on dipstick) and dipstick has strong smell of gasoline. Not good as it signals fuel is making it's way into my engine oil. Once fuel mixes with the oil it will break down the viscosity and engine will "wear our prematurely" or lead to failure. As of today (11/14/18) my car is not stalling out (about 15K miles on it) but my concern for safety is rising as Honda seems to be dragging their feet regarding admitting and fixing this dangerous issue.

Update to complaint # 11138878, 11138881, and 11139308. 1 month old CRV, 2nd time took to dealer for oil overfull/ oil smells like gasoline. They have a new service bulletin which directed them to change the oil (not filter) and update the software. The software update dealt with how gasoline was sprayed into the cylinders and was supposed to stop the gasoline-in-oil condition. After a few days -- again the oil is overfull (by about an inch over "full"), the oil is black and runny and reeks of gasoline. Software update did not fix the problem. If anything it's worse. Second, new problem: The software update caused our mpg display to change from 29.5 mpg (over 4000 miles) to 23 mpg. More alarmingly, our gasoline mileage has decreased from 26 city/30 highway/ 29 average to 26/29/27 average.

Gasoline is contaminating and diluting the engine oil. Oil turned black and diluted by the gasoline and had to be changed with less than 1500 miles on the vehicle. Concerned that the gasoline diluted oil is posing a fire and safety risk.

My 2018 CR-V suffers from the dreaded [oil dilution issue] where gasoline gets into the oil raising the level above the full mark. The result is a strong gasoline smell, sometimes in the cabin but always when you pull the dipstick to check the oil. The oil level is always considerably higher than the full mark. I presented this issue to my dealer, and they confirmed the smell of gas in the oil, the high level and the fact that many 2017-18 CRV's suffer from this same issue. Their unacceptable solution was to change the oil and make longer trips to try to burn off the gasoline in the oil. They also said that Honda would be issuing a statement in the fall about fixing the issue. First a bit about the issue. There are many reports of CRV owners with this problem unexpectedly stalling and losing power while in motion. Some have suffered accidents. Does this sound like a vehicle you'd like to put your family in? also, diluted motor oil has to have long term damaging effects on the engine. I am very worried about the long term value of a car that was supposed to have great resale value - that's why I bought it. So Honda rolls out their "fix", and I notice that they're only going to address what they consider "cold weather states". they also plan to roll these "could weather state" fixes out over a multiple month schedule. Not acceptable at all. What about my car Honda. I would think that Honda would treat all of their customers the same and would want to fix as many afflicted vehicles as possible because of possible safety issues. Honda has a very loyal owner-base. I betcha how they handle this will affect people's decisions in the future. I know it will affect mine.

This vehicle gets a terrible smell of gasoline inside the vehicle, especially on initial start-up. This vehicle is unpleasant to drive do to this smell, especially in the winter with the climate control system on. My wife suffers from migraines and cannot ride in the vehicle. The problem was confirmed by my local Honda dealership, valley Honda, in Aurora il. No resolution was provided as they indicated the smell is tied to the well know oil-dilution problem with this 1.5 trbo engine, which they confirmed this vehicle also has (but for which no 'fix' has been issued in the U.S.) so now, not only am I damaging the new engine when driven, but also the occupant health by exposing them to gasoline fumes. This is just wrong on a new vehicle and needs a proactive recall asap.

Engine sounds - car is under 3,000 miles as of Nov. 2018. Purchased June 2018. Air conditioning did not work right after June 2018 purchase. Returned 3 times to get repaired and ever since this "repair) to fix the A/C, the engine has been very loud on acceleration from a full stop or to increase speed when at a low speed. Do not recall this loud engine at purchase. Loud engine sounds disappear at cruise. Had it to the dealer three times for this purpose and the dealer (salmon, repair department have stated, "nothing wrong, this is the way the new CRV turbo engines sound).
