This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle sputtered, did not want to run, and stalled a few times before I wound up at the dealership. I also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. The vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a hopeful repair. Here I am with no vehicle, and a $400 per month payment. This is absolutely unacceptable in today's world. This problem should have been fixed, before the vehicle was allowed to be put up for sale. A vehicle is deemed not safe, when it's stalls on you in the middle of traffic.

- Ocala, FL, USA

In the winter, I noticed a reduction in power from the vehicle. The engine began to run rough and stalled a few times in parking lots. There was the smell of gas and sulfates coming through the vents. The oil level was very high. I took the car to the dealer and they changed the oil. Four months later with normal use of the vehicle, the smell of gas is again coming through the vents, the engine seems to be running rough again, and the oil level is high. I fear the vehicle will stall in a dangerous situation, and the fumes in the cabin make me feel sick.

CR-V with now 6000 miles on it gets oil in gas. Oil changed at dealer twice. Dealer says Honda knows about this problem, but my car VIN not included in recall. Have contacted american Honda but was unable to get fix authorized. This car is defective and under warranty. Getting fix should not be a problem! gas in oil may also be a fire hazard.

I purchased this 1.5 turbo and found out later the gasoline flows into the oil pan mixing together. Honda says this is a common occurrence and I disagree. While purchasing this Honda, the dealership never mentioned this situation. I feel that I purchased this Honda CR-V, 1.5 turbo under fraudulent terms. Everyone knows that when gasoline is mixed with oil, the oil protection is reduced proportionately.

While changing the oil myself at 14,00 miles I noticed the oil level was more than a half inch above the full line and smelled of strongly of gasoline I checked online to see if other CRV oweners were experiencing the same issue. This appears to be a widespread problem with honas 1.5 turbo engine. After reading about the issue I was reminded of two instances this past winter when the vehicle cabin smelled strongly of gasoline, both times while stopped in traffic.

While driving on a city street, the engine of our 2018 Honda CR-V (1.5 L turbo) suddenly lost power and smoke began pouring out of the exhaust, this happened during rush hour on a busy portland, Oregon, street on a dark and rainy October evening. Thankfully, the driver of the CR-V managed to get off the street and roll into a gas station without getting rear-ended. The CR-V was towed to a Honda dealer's service department, where the cause of the problem was identified as "oil level above spec." Rising oil level is a common problem in 2017-18 Honda Cr-vs, caused by dilution of crankcase oil with unburned gasoline due to an engine design flaw well known to Honda. Driving a vehicle with an engine that could fail at any time/place is definitely a safety issue, and the affected Honda vehicles should immediately be recalled in the U.S. they already been recalled in china!

Oil being diluted with gas. Honda issued a "service bulletin" about this. There is a youtube video about it: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=fvdknrgzgt8 we took it in and the "fix" was a software update, but the oil continues to get diluted with gas. We will be taking it in for the 3rd time for this problem. In Wisconsin, if they fail to fix the problem in 4 tries, it becomes a lemon. I don't want it to come to that because I am sure that will be a big hassle, but the long term problems caused by gas in the oil may be worse. Not what I expect from Honda!
