Honda gas in oil. When in for their recall. Oil was changed and A/C module replaced. I never checked the oil for gas but feel this problem must cause some engine damage. Would like to see a formal recall with proper corrective action. Dealer seemed evasive when asked to explain the problem, no big deal just gas in the oil.

October 2018 we took our new C rv on a trip to nashville, tn from traverse city, mi. The check engine light came on and the oil can icon lit up. I called the Honda dealer where I bought the C rv from and they had no idea what was going on. I got out and checked the oil and found it high. I brought the Honda to a quick lube to check it. They changed the oil then sent me on my way. After arriving back home tc a few weeks later we got a recall letter from Honda. On Wednesday, December 26th, williams Honda in tc did the recall work. On Thursday my wife got in the vehicle to go shopping and the heater would not work. She called the Honda dealer and brought the Honda to them. They said that they did not cause the heater to not work with the recall repair. After doing something, the heater began to work again. This is very worrisome, we are not sure what to do next. On an earlier occasion our new CR-V would not start as after only 30 minutes of sitting the battery was dead. The Honda dealer told us you can't leave any lights on as the battery wont last very long.

Stationary:gas intrusion into oil. Dipstick reeks of gas. Oil viscosity appears watery. Strong gas smell in garage after parking (heated garage) - takes 6-8 hrs to dissipate smell driving and stationary: Strong gas smell into driver/front passenger area, outside perimeter of car and under hood - smell appears to come into cabin with heater on through vents. Windows have to be rolled down and heater off to get rid of smell - my eyes water, throat becomes tight and nose starts stinging immediately - headaches start after approximately 30 minutes of driving and continue for 4-5 hrs as do the other symptoms this cabin/under hood gas smell has happened with outside temps from 28-60 degrees. Gas smell is more concentrated after driving and parking the car and then turning off engine and returning to car to start engine within 10 minutes to 4 hrs - it literally makes me nauseous and dizzy. This happens whether car is in garage, driving on city street or highway. Has become worse the past 6 weeks (car was purchased new in June 2018) from Honda dealer in central Illinois. It currently has 2500 miles on odometer what about a fire under hood from excess fuel not being burned off" I am concerned about my health and emissions have driven many types of cars for over 50 yrs and never had these gas intrusion issues or oil intrusion from fuel what happens when I need to "air car out" because of smell and it's raining or snowing? the potential for engine damage in concerning - example: How does gas mixed with oil, lubricate an engine and its related components properly? why is there excess build up of fuel in oil pan? why am I subjected to the noxious, hideous, and sickening gas smell in cabin" therefore, I would expect at a minimum extended drive train/engine warranty to 6 yrs from Honda which was granted in Canada and want gas smell eliminated

There is a strong gas smell in the cabin and around the car. The smell is most noticeable when idling and after parking. Duration of the trip does not seem to be a factor, nor the street type.

Gasoline mixing with engine oil, oil level rising above full mark diluting engine oil.will possibly cause pre mature engine damage.smell of gasoline in oil.Honda is claiming this is normal..this is not normal!

- Covington, KY, USA

Had oil changed by dealer. Noticed smell inside vehicle after driving home. Checked oil had smell of gasoline. Oil level has increased since checked after service. According to Honda information, car will shut itself down if oil level gets too high. If car dies on interstate, could very well cause an accident.

I have been getting a strong gas odor inside the car and the oil level was above the full mark, smelled strong of gas and was a dark color for being brand new with 3,000 miles. I brought to the dealer and they installed campaign recall #18-114 that included software update and a A/C control. I drove car 5 days and while driving on a busy road the car filled with gas fumes that was overwhelming I had to put all windows down and pull over to air the vehicle out and make sure it wasnt going to be a fire hazzard.I have reported issue to Honda factory and will be going to the dealer 12/19/18 to adress the issue again

3-month-old 2018 CR-V ex-L - noticed oil dilution problems within first 2 months. Dealer has been unresponsive. Gas has been getting into oil in apparently significant amounts. Persistent smells of gas and 'rotten eggs/meat' while operating. Oil level gets higher above measuring section of dipstick every time I check, smells of gas. Car begins to stall a bit occasionally. Had oil changed at 5K miles - tech confirmed oil was very thin, higher volume than should be, and smelled of gas. Very concerned about safety now (what if it stalls while in heavy highway traffic?) and also long-term engine damage since diluted oil will not lubricate as well. Researched online only after discovering problem - apparently well known problem, and widespread - but barely acknowledged by Honda.

Wife notices fuel smell while driving. Oil was checked and I could visibly see the oil is cut with gasoline along with strong smell of gasoline on oil dipstick. Oil is indefinitely contaminated with gasoline. First noticed on 12/10/18 and researched online finding that thousands of others have the same problem with 2017-2018 Honda CR-V with the 1.5L turbo

My CR-V 2018 doesn't run smooth and the engine is noisey but the big problem happened 12/08/18 when I parked the car to unload groceries when one hour later I went to start it the cabin filled with the strong smell of gasoline. I spoke to my mechanic who told me not to drive and have the dealership pick it up.

The oil level is way above the full line on dip stick. I will be taking it to the dealer for the first oil change next week. I hope they have a remedy for this problem.

The car began to run rough when I was returning from a long trip. When I turned the car off, then back on, every alarm was going off. I had it towed to the dealership and was told that the garage that had changed my oil put the wrong oil in. This was a lie on the dealerships part as they had no evidence to prove their assertion. I believe I have one of those crvs with the engine problems that people are talking about. My Honda has the turbo-4 cylinder motor. I found out about these engine issues over the summer but when I my car was towed to Honda, after thanksgiving, they acted like the never heard about the problem.
