While changing oil and filter at 30,000 miles 1) oil appeared highly diluted and watery 2) there was a strong gasoline smell coming from the used oil I took vehicle in for service and was told gas in oil is normal for these type engines but Honda had extended warranty for these engines. I asked about the software 'fix' I had read about being performed and dealer said they could not make the update to my car since it wasnot showing any diagnostic trouble codes at this point.

I was driving Saturday 27, 2019 about 9:00 am in the pulaski skyway in New Jersey then all of the sudden all the display warning lights went on and off until the car stall and the engine just stop working but the warning lights( every single one) just kept going on and off. I couldn't do anything as you may know the pulaski skyway has not place to pull over, you can imagine the traffic jam that my broke down car cause. The weekend of the 07/21/2019 I had a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin and when I check the oil dipstick it was overfill and had the strong smell of gasoline I called the dealer planet Honda and they told me to bring my car to check on 07/25/2019, the same day the dealer called me and said that is nothing wrong with the car and the smell of gasoline and the overfill engine oil was normal. I have no confidence on driving my Honda CRV anymore. I bought the car on 06/15/2019 with 5,300 miles on it.

This is about my 2018 Honda CR-V ex with around 14,700 miles at present.my whole family and a friend went to yakima, wa for cherry picking.on our way there from seattle, wa while driving using adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keeping assist system (lakas) suddenly a warning from the screen appeared that says..."power reduced - power grille problem" and then we can not accelerate the speed. Luckily we made it to the shoulder of the highway for emergency park and wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the warning goes out from the screen. When it goes out we start the engine and start driving again and after 7 to 10 minutes the warning goes on again, stop and goes again for the third time and we decided to turn off the acc and lkas and drive in a lower speed 60 to 65 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone.the next morning I checked the engine oil fill compartment and the engine oil dipstick and found out they have a strong gasoline smell.gasoline leaks to the engine oil compartment.when I checked the dipstick, the oil is dripping like water with blackish color because of the gasoline mixed to the oil. I reported it to the dealership for service and told me not to drive the car going to them instead the towing company (aaa) do the job to take it to the dealership.and the day when I picked up the car they told me that the gasoline I smell from the compartment is normal due to combustion. I asked them to check the engine oil dipstick to prove to them that it smells gasoline and dripping like water with blackish color (this is a newly changed pure synthetic engine oil /90% remaining).they did not check the dipstick and told me they can do nothing about it and told me to it's normal.they said it's safe to drive my car. I'm just hoping this problem be resolved very soon.

My 2018 Honda CR-V 1.5T engine is "making oil". I change my own oil and monitor the level weekly. The dealer told me that the oil dilution issue that I read about in consume reports would not affect me because I am in a warm climate (Florida) but that is not true. The oil level on my dip stick rose about 3/8 of an inch in 5000 miles. I changed the oil and we took a trip to Tennessee in the winter and the oil level rose so much in the cold weather I was concerned that it would cause too much pressure on the seals so I drained some oil out. I would think that gas in the oil would severely effect engine life. The dealer denies that I have a problem saying the this is a cold weather issue.

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.

Oil dilution cause engine wear in short time

- Rockaway, NJ, USA

Raw fuel smell inside cabin and outside of vehicle. Engine oil diluted and oil level increased. Fuel mixed in with oil.

- 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.

Fuel mixing in oil system, loosing power that can cause an acident.

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.

The engine oil level increases as the car is driven. Changed oil after 7500 mile interval, and the used oil was 1.2 quarts more than when first installed. Oil is being diluted

- Wayne, NJ, USA

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.

- Manteo, NC, USA

Engine oil dilution. Smells gas. Oil level higher than max. Some loss of engine power. All happened before 5K miles. Less than 700 miles another oil change for the same reason. Dealer said nothing wrong. After driving 100 miles still same problems.

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!

- Oak Creek, WI, USA

Gasoline dilutes engine oil under normal driving conditions. The engine oil level was approximately 1/4 inch above the maximum oil fill line on the dipstick after 5000 miles. Informed dealer and american Honda. I was told there is no fix available for my vehicle.
