The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that fuel entered the crank case and mixed with the oil. The oil indicator illuminated as the intermittent failure progressed. In addition, the vent controls were slow to function when the heat and air conditioner were activated. The vehicle was taken to automaster Honda (3328 shelburne rd, shelburne, vt 05482, (802) 985-8411) more than three times, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

Could smell gas in the engine oil and have smelled gas fumes in the cabin of car. I took car to dealer after getting a letter about a recall concerning the air conditioner. The dealer told me that this recall was for the gas in oil problem. I still have the smell of gas in the oil.

We purchased a new 2018 Honda CR-V ex in December 2018 from a near-by Honda dealer. We live in baltimore county, md, and do most of our driving locally. Within a matter of weeks after driving, we started noticing a strong gas smell in the cabin and outside the car. The issue has persisted, and started to get worse. We researched our issue, and noted many customer complaints regarding oil dilution problems on 2018 cr- V 1.5L turbo-charged engines. In early April 2019, we had our first service visit to check our cabin gas smell problem with the dealer. Mileage 1,500 miles. On the service report, dealer noted "confirmed oil and gas mixture complaint. Oil level was much higher than normal on dipstick. Honda is aware of this issue but does not have a fix at this time. Please check oil level often". we had the dealer perform an oil and filter change due to strong gas odor in our cabin. The dealer indicated Honda will not pay for the oil change, even though it was part of a known unresolved issue. There is no recall in Maryland yet, but there should be in our opinion. Since changing the oil three weeks ago, the gas odor is less observable at this time. We consider the oil dilution problem to be a health concern, and a potential safety problem on the CR-V. we are concerned to have a significant issue with no fixes available in Maryland. We understand Honda has already issued fixes for oil dilution issues in neighboring pennsylvannia and Delaware.

I noticed my oil was overfilled early in April 2019. Honda has a known problem with 2017 & 2018 crvs with the 1.5 twin turbo engines with gasoline getting into the oil, I called Honda Corp & they had valley Honda look at the car. They removed 1/2 qt oil from the car. You can smell the gasoline in the oil they said the car is safe & drive it. I am concerned about the safety of the car % warranty on the engine... the chinese govt had Honda recall all these crvs but I cant find out what the recall involved.. can U help me... thank you

Gas smell!!!!! gas in the oil!!!!! no recall" are you serious"

- Canton, OH, USA

Initial oil change on 2018 Honda CR-V ex with 1.5 turbo engine at 2303 miles. One week after changing oil noticed oil level had increased over 1/8" on dipstick and that oil on dipstick smells strongly of gasoline (oil level check was performed several hours after driving). Dilution of oil with gasoline is obviously detrimental to continued engine operation - therefore I can no longer drive my new vehicle. Research of the issue and identical symptoms from numerous owners clearly proves that Honda does not accept responsibility for this catastrophic design flaw (not in America anyway). Appears only possible solutions are class action lawsuit, lemon laws or waiting for Honda to man up. The obvious misinformation and corruption of the manufacturer toward their customers, concerning this well documented issue, is (imho) disgusting! it is not normal or in anyway safe or ok for engine crankcases to fill up with gasoline....ever!!! the fuel in oil issue is not the issue (design flaws happen when manufacturers fail to properly test new designs)...Honda's corrupt treatment of customers with the issue is the real issue and continued similar behavior just might put them out of business permanently.

Gasoline leaking into oil. Checking dipstick gives very strong smell of gas. As yet no stalls. 5000 miles on oil and the oil level is at or above full. Car is driven in moderate climate and for typical mixture of trips.

We are experiencing a smell of gas in the cabin. The has been an ongoing issue since we purchased it brand new. At first we thought we stepped in gas and the smell was from our shoes. After more headaches and research, we are realizing that this is a common problem with the 2017 and 2018 CR-V's. another related problem we are having is that the engine occasionally stalls upon starting. We park the car in a garage. While at work, the car is parked outside. I went out to the car and tried to start it and the engine was hesitant to start and sounded like I was trying to start a car with a dead battery. It lagged and after three attempts the car started. This has happened to me a total of three times during the winter. Each incident was a separate occasion. Each time was after the car was parked outside for a few hours.

We were driving from bridgeport, wv to New Jersey on 2/9/19. Four hours into the trip carall the lights on dash board came on and car slowed down and accelerator did not work at that point. Car stopped on the high way. We pulled over called aaa service and Toyota. We took the car in to Honda of turnersville, NJ they fix multiple dtc updated PO302 related recall, updated PCM/tcu no more misfire. Car now we are having the same problem again. This week its twice.

On 3 different occasions, while driving the car on the interstate highway, it started vibrating, and would not accelerate, burning smell occurred, several warning lights came up on the dashboard. We had to navigate the car from the middle of highway to the shoulder of the highway very abruptly. It was a near death experience as several trucks and cars were traveling on the highway at very fast speeds. Reported the first occurrence to the mcgrath city Honda, Chicago, il in January 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures and they replaced some fuel sensors and informed me that this was a manufacturing issue (defective part). Second incident occurred in February 2019, could not take photos as the problems went away after restarting the engine. Reported the third incident in March 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures to the same dealership and I was informed that there is a problem with fuel injector and they placed the order for the part. We are really, really scared of driving this defective, malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle. I searched the internet last night and it seems several other Honda CRV owners are having these issues. Please investigate this serious issue and save the people.

Oil diluted by gas. Gas smell in oil. Also causes overfill of crankcase. Gas in oil dilutes oil causing excessive and unnecessary wear and tear.

- South Range, WI, USA

Second time this car's warning system has activated since having the recalled A/C part replaced. While driving (hwy speeds 65+ mph)the car is losing acceleration ability in traffic and the dash is reading: Power steering system problem road departure mitigation system problem electric parking brake problem tire pressure monitor problem emission system problem all wheel drive system problem brake system problem brake hold system problem. The first time the vehicle was brought to the dealer they could not tell what the problem was, but now this is the second occurrence since Feb 2019.

Fuel in oil

- Kokomo, IN, USA

Engine (specifically coolant used for heating the windshield defrosting air) does not heat up enough in cold weather for windshield defrosters to work properly until car has been at highway speeds for several miles. When driven less than 40mph in weather below 32F., engine temperature remains cold, therefore providing to heat for defrosting windshield. It does not help to let vehicle "warm up" prior to driving because when idling the engine never gets warm (temperature indicator remains on coldest indicated setting). This creates a safety hazard because windows are not clear for driving. This is a consistent problem that occurs anytime outside temperatures are cold. I live in a northern state where temperatures reach -30F, and the problem is worse as the temperatures get colder.

Fuel is leaking into the oil system. Oil has very strong smell of gasoline. Oil dilution is doing untold damage to engine.
