2017 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STOKES HONDA CARS OF BEAUFORT (855-647-4874, LOCATED AT 88 ROBERT SMALLS PKWY, BEAUFORT, SC 29906) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE OIL AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,550. *DT*JB

AFTER LEARNING OF THE FUEL IN OIL PROBLEM VIA AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS, I CHECKED MY OIL, WHICH HAD BEEN CHANGED 2,500 PRIOR TO THAT CHECK. THE OIL SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE, AND THE LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I'D PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY OWNERS. IN FACT, BROAD NOTIFICATION HAS YET TO TAKE PLACE. I WANT THIS FIXED. IF HONDA DOESN'T MOVE MORE RAPIDLY, THEY'VE LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER.

MY OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE NORMAL AND SMELLS OF GASOLINE. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS SO FAR.

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I'VE COME OUTSIDE TO DISCOVER ALL 4 OF MY 2017 CRV'S WINDOWS AND MOONROOF OPEN. I'VE GOTTEN RAIN DAMAGE BECAUSE MY WINDOWS AND ROOF ENDED UP OPEN DURING A MAJOR RAINSTORM. THE "VENTING' FEATURE OF THE CAR APPARENTLY WAS ACTIVATED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED (IN DISCOVERING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE) THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM. IT REPRESENTS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE REMOTE KEY FOB. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS. THIS OCCURRED BOTH TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY, SOMETIME AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE.

CABIN SMELLS OF GASOLINE AFTER DRIVING SHORT DISTANCE THEN STOPPED WHILE IDLING (THINK GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH, LEAVE HOUSE, TRAVEL A FEW MILES, WAIT IN LINE -- THAT IS WHEN IT SMELLS OF GAS). SMELL OF GAS FROM OIL DIPSTICK WHEN CHECKING LEVELS AND OIL LEVEL APPEARS TO BE HIGHER THAN NORMAL (DEALER SERVICES VEHICLE).

BATTERY DRAINS OUT COMPLETELY AND CAR WON'T START.. JUST 18000 MILES. 4 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. FIRST TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD NOT SWITCHED OFF SOMETHING WHEN I PARKED SO IT MAY HAVE DRAINED. HAD TO CALL AAA. AFTER IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN 3 DAYS REALIZED THAT THERE IS SOME MAJOR ISSUE. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN 17-032 BUT TO SURE THIS APPLIES. THIS BEING SUNDAY WILL TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET.

OIL CRANK CASE IS TOO HIGH DUE TO EXCESS FUEL IN OIL. THIS CAUSES FUEL SMELL IN CABIN AND STALLING OF THE ENGINE. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE ENGINE WILL SUFFER FROM PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR AND FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION. THIS IS NOT A COLD WEATHER ISSUE AS MY DILUTION NEED HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER AND I ONLY DO HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH LONG DURATION. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IN CLEARFIELD, PA BARELY ESCAPED GETTING HIT BY A DUMP TRUCK WHEN THE CAR PRACTICALLY STOPPED. I GOT TO THE BERM OF THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 4 MPH. I GOT TO A PARKING LOT AND PUT IT IN PARK, TRIED DRIVE AND REVERSE, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 4 MPH. I SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND IT DROVE OK. UPON HEARING OF THE EARTH DREAM ENGINE ISSUE, I HAD OIL CHECKED AT AN AUTO ZONE, OIL LEVEL WAS ABOUT 1/4 INCH UP ON THE ACTUAL METAL ON THE DIPSTICK AND SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS. CALLED HONDA AMERICA, WAS ACCUSED OF DRIVING WITH ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND ONE ON THE BRAKE. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, PRESTON HONDA IN NEW CASTLE PA, SERVICE MANAGER DAN SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF GAS BEING IN THE OIL AND MAYBE I DID HAVE "ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND ONE AND THE BRAKE THINKING I WAS DRIVING A STICK SHIFT". I HAD DRIVEN TO A CONFERENCE LEWISBURG, PA, AFTER FINDING SOMEONE TO FINALLY ADMIT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND THE CAR STILL IN WARRANTY,IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MUNCY, PA WHERE THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND THE OVERFILL AND GAS IN OIL WAS DOCUMENTED. AFTER 500 MILES THE OIL CHAMBER IS ONCE AGAIN OVERFILL WITH A SMELL OF GAS. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AGAIN TODAY (905 MILES), WHERE PRESTON HONDA IN NEW CASTLE PA CONTINUES TO DENY ANY KNOWN ISSUES, REFUSES TO DOCUMENT THE OIL CHAMBER BEING OVERFULL AND WILL ONLY DOCUMENT A MILD GAS SMELL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH TRIP WILL BE MY LAST WHEN I

2017 HONDA CRV WITH 1.5 L TURBO 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. HEALTH HAZARD: NOTED GASOLINE FUMES IN CABIN AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE FUMES ARE COMING IN THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. HAPPENING IN BOTH COLD AND HOT WEATHER. CAR HAS 30K MILES ON IT. FUMES NOTICED WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY AFTER STARTING IT. ALSO FOUND TO HAVE GAS ENTERING OIL PAN, DILUTING THE OIL, AND CAUSING HIGH OIL LEVELS. SIMILAR REPORTS FROM MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ENGINE AND APPARENTLY A MAJOR RECALL IN CHINA FOR THE PROBLEM. AM CONCERNED ABOUT HYDROCARBON LEVELS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN WHICH CAN BE A MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD. JUST BECAUSE THE FUMES DISSIPATE AFTER A MINUTE OR SO DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE HYDROCARBON LEVELS IN THE CABIN ARE NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE. OTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS PREMATURE WEAR ON THE ENGINE DUE TO GAS MIXING WITH OIL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS REPORTS OF CRVS WITH THIS PROBLEM STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND FAILING TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. HONDA USA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AS OF THIS DATE NOR HAVE THEY OFFERED ANY SOLUTIONS. I FEEL LIKE I WASTED OVER $30K ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOW UNSAFE AND DESTINED TO PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

A SITUATION IN WHICH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SHOW MULTIPLE SYSTEM FAILURES INCLUDING FAILURES OF THE RDM, CRUISE CONTROL, BRAKES AND CMBS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, INCLUDING A SECOND TIME IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DEALER "FIXED" THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEED STOPPED BUT IDLING IN BOTH SITUATION. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND DID NOT EVEN LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP THE SECOND TIME. AN INDICATION OF A "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE" IS DISCONCERTING EVEN THOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE NO AFFECT ON VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, OTHER THAN THESE SAFETY FEATURES BEING RENDERED INOPERABLE.

ENGINE OIL OVERFILLED. CAR HAS STALLED ON OCCASION. VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES (HONDA SENSING) FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER...SNOW AND RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING SHORT ROAD TRIPS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE TAIL PIPE WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RUSSELL & SMITH HONDA (2900 S LOOP W, HOUSTON, TX 77054, (713) 481-3063) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL WAS IN THE OIL AND THE RUST WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS MIXING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE BY LOCAL MEDIA THAT THE HONDA VEHICLES WAS HAVING FUEL MIXING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. THEREFORE, THE CONTACT CHECKED THE ENGINE DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE DIPSTICK EMITTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE OIL TWICE. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED THE CONTACT CHECKED THE ENGINE DIPSTICK AND FOUND THAT THE DIPSTICK WAS STILL EMITTING A STRONG FUEL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 09036858 AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE WHEN THEY HAD A REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN THE GARAGE, THE GEAR SHIFTER HANDLE FRACTURED. THE CONTACT HAD TO FORCE THE SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER LUCAS HONDA OF JACKSONVILLE (7801 BRANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244) WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE HANDLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

HIGH OIL LEVEL DUE TO GAS IN THE OIL. HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 OIL CHANGES AND ONLY HAVE JUST OVER 4,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. HONDA STATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN COLD WEATHER, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUMMER.

IN MID-OCTOBER 2018, THE OIL LEVEL ON OUR 2017 CR-V WAS A HALF INCH PAST THE MAX MARK ON THE DIPSTICK. OIL WAS LAST CHANGED JUST 3400 MILES AGO IN MID-MAY. I SUSPECT THIS IS DUE TO THE WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM OF FUEL DILUTING THE OIL. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM.

OIL HAS STRONG SMELL OF GAS, AND OIL LEVEL CONSISTENTLY RISES OVER TIME UNTIL OIL CHANGE COMPLETED. AROUND 500 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE THE GAS SMELL RETURNS AND CONTINUES TO GET STRONGER WHILE ALSO INCREASING THE OIL LEVEL WELL ABOVE THE LOW AND HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK. HAS HAPPENED FOR OVER A YEAR SINCE I FIRST DISCOVERED MANY OTHER 2017/2018 CRV OWNERS DISCUSSING THE PROBLEM ONLINE.

ONCE WHILE MOVING THE CAR TO WASH IT, STARTED IT DIS-ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE WAS COLD. THE SECOND TIME STARTED THE CAR AND TOOK A TWENTY MINUTE,10 MILE TRIP TO COSTCO. 30 MINUTES LATER STARTED THE CR-V, AGAIN DIS-ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, THE CAR WAS WARM. TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT CHANGED THE ENGINE OIL WITH ONLY 2381 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE OIL AND THE OIL LEVEL HAS BEEN HIGH EVEN AFTER 5000 MILES. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. NOW THAT IT IS GETTING COOLER I AM ALSO NOTICING THAT THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING WELL AND I HAVE TO HAVE THE DEFROSTER ON ALL THE TIME OR THE WINDOW FOG.

OIL-DILUTION PROBLEM ,OIL LEVEL ON DIP STICK IS WAY ABOVE HIGH MARK ON DIP STICK AND SMELL FUEL ON DIP STICK

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM BROWN'S HONDA 712 CRAIN HIGHWAY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061 ON JUNE 20,2017. ON OCTOBER 6, 2018 IBECAME AWARE OF A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THAT HAS THE NEW 1.5 L TURBOCHARGED ENGINE. I NOTICED THAT THE OIL LEVEL, AS SHOWN ON THE DIP STICK, WAS AT LEAST 0.5 INCHES ABOVE THE TOP FILL MARK. I IMMEDIATELY DRAINED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VOLUME OF OIL WAS 4.75 QUARTS OR 28% ABOVE THE CAR'S SPECIFICATION OF 3.7 QUARTS. THE DRAINED OIL WAS VERY BLACK IN COLOR AND TO THE TOUCH FELT LESS VISCOUS THAN NEW 0-20 OIL. IT APPEARS THAT THE INCREASED VOLUME IS DUE TO GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE OIL. ON OCT 6,2018 (CURRENT ODOMETER READING11467 MILES) THE OIL HAD RUN IN THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 5400 MILES. MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER WAS AT 6000 MILES ON 4/16/2018. AS YOU ARE AWARE, DILUTIONOF THE OIL WITH GASOLINE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND OPERABILITY/SAFETY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE SUCH AS STALLING. I VISITED THE BROWN'S HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY 10/8/2018 AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE STATED ABOVE. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR, ADVISED ME TO KEEP CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL AND COME BACK IF ANY RUNNING ISSUES OCCUR. THE DEALER ISUNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE OF GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE OIL.THIS PROBLEM SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE FUTURE VALUE OF MY CAR AND POTENTIALLY IT'S SAFETY. GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE OIL WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE.

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL IN THE CRANKCASE, MAKING OIL VISCOSITY THINNER AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND VERIFIED BY OUR HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON OCTOBER 24, 2018. THEY SAID PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED BY COLD WEATHER AND SHORT TRIPS. WE WERE TOLD A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND WE WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 22, 2018 TO SCHEDULE A TIME FOR REPAIRS. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION, CALL THE DEALERSHIP BACK AT THAT TIME.

1.5L TURBO ENGINE. OIL IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, RAISING OIL LEVEL, REDUCING FRICTION AND INCREASING ENGINE WEAR. IN WORST CASE THE OIL LEVEL CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE STALLING, CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE. OIL SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS, INSIDE CABIN HAS STRON GAS SMELL AT TIMES. ENGINE DOES NOT HEAT ENOUGH TO WARM THE CAR IN COLD WEATHER.

THE CAR HAS A SERIOUS ENGINE ISSUE ASSOCIATED TO THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO WARM UP UP PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER STATES AND THEREFORE IS UNABLE TO OUTPUT AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CABIN WARM FOR THE OWNER. THE ENGINE IS ALSO DILUTING GASOLINE INTO THE OIL RESERVOIR LEADING TO A GASOLINE SMELL WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVELS. THIS OIL DILUTION IS GOING TO CAUSE EXTENSIVE WEAR WITHIN THE OIL RESERVOIR SINCE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE UNDER PROPER AND NORMAL CONDITIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN COLD MORNING ON WHICH I HAVE ACCELERATED AND FELT THE VEHICLE STALL AND I FEEL THE OIL/GAS MIXTURE IS TO BLAME FOR THIS DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT OF THIS ENGINE. I'M AFRAID TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THAT MAY CAUSE ME TO GET REAR ENDED AND INJURED/KILLED DUE TO STALLING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2017 CRV AND NEWER SINCE THE MANUFACTURER STATES IT IS NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS TO HAVE OIL AND GASOLINE MIXING. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BUYBACK OF THIS VEHICLE AND BE DONE WITH THIS BRAND FOR THE FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS AND POOR JUDGEMENT TO CONTINUE TO SELLING THIS VEHICLE.

OIL DILUTION. STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND COMING FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN COLD MORNING START. OIL LEVEL IS HIGHER AND ABOVE THE MAX LINE ON THE DIP STICK.

STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OR OIL WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED ON FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES EACH TIME, THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS BETWEEN 5,000 AND 8 THOUSAND. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 18,000 AND HAS NOT HAD A RECURRENCE SINCE BUT AT 12,000 MILES [ 4,000 MILES AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE ] I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK WAS ABOUT A HALF AN INCH OVER THE FULL LIMIT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT HAVE A FIX AT THE TIME. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AT THAT TIME AND AGAIN AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES AT WHICH TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD A PARTIAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IT NOW HAS 19,000 AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK SOONER OR LATER IT'S GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE THAT COULD CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS.

DEAR: NHTSA I PURCHASE A 2017 HONDA CRV-EX WITH 1.5-LITER TURBO EARTH DREAM ENGINE. DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HAVING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH MY HONDA CRV-EX. GAS SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THE OIL SMELL LIKE GAS, RISING OIL LEVELS, CAR MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES, STALLING, LOSS OF POWER AND THE HEATERS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IN COLD WEATHER. I FIRST NOTICE THESE PROBLEMS 6 MONTHS AGO. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO PREVIOUSLY WORKED AT HONDA SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM OF FUEL MIXING WITH OIL STEMS FROM ONE OR TWO CAUSES: IMPROPERLY DESIGNED FUEL INJECTORS THAT SPRAY FUEL DIRECTLY ONTO THE CYLINDER WALLS OR THE ENGINE NOT HEATING UP ENOUGH TO VAPORIZE GASOLINE LEFT OVER IN AN ENGINE CYLINDER. EITHER COULD CAUSE FUEL TO MIX WITH THE OIL, DILUTING IT AND MAKING IT LESS EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING AN ENGINE'S MOVING PARTS AND OVER TIME COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THE LUBRICATION FUEL & OIL DILUTION. HONDA CORPORATION HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE TURBO ENGINE DEFECTS THAT CAUSE FUEL TO ENTER THE ENGINE OIL, DAMAGING THE BEARINGS, ENGINE PERMANENTLY AND DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS ETHICAL AT ALL FOR HONDA CORP. TO CONTINUE TO SELL 2017 & 2018 CRV WITH TURBO ENGINE TO THE CONSUMER KNOWING THE PROBLEMS COULD ENDANGER THE PUBLIC SAFETY. IT IS NEITHER SAFE NOR PRUDENT DRIVING THESE VEHICLES. MY TRUST IN HONDA RELIABILITY WAS CRUSHED WHEN I NOTICE AFTER MY 2ND OIL CHANGE THE COLOR WAS BLACK, THIN AS WATER AND SMELL LI

ENGINE OIL DILUTED, SMELLING OF FUEL, DIRTY, AND INCREASING IN VOLUME. OIL WAS CHANGED (2ND OIL CHANGE) AND AT PROPER LEVEL 8/25/2018 AT 15,413 MILES. TODAY, AT 10/29/2018 AND 17,510 MILES, OIL LEVEL IS ABOUT 10 MM ABOVE MAX FILL MARK. BAD SMELL SOMETIMES IN CABIN.

THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO MY VEHICLE DILUTING THE OIL WITH UNBURNT GASOLINE AND CREATING FUEL ODORS IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR.. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS ~ 15000 MILES AND HAS JUST COMPLETED ITS 3RD OIL CHANGE. EACH OIL CHANGE HAS RECORDED ON THE SERVICE ORDER THE DRAINED OIL AMOUNT AND EACH TIME THE FLUID LEVEL WAS LARGER THEN WHAT WAS FILLED AT THE PRIOR OIL CHANGE. THE LAST CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP RECORDED 17 OZ MORE FLUID THEN WHAT WENT IN, THIS WAS ALL GASOLINE. THIS IS RESULTING IN GASOLINE ODORS IN THE CABIN WHICH ARE CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. IT SEEMS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT ACCUMILATING GASOLJNE VAPORS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE POSE BOTH A HEALTH HAZARD AND A POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISK . HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT REJECTS THE NOTION THAT THE BYPRODUCTS OF THIS DESIGN FLAW, NAMELY THE ACCUMULATING GAS VAPORS POSE ANY SAFETY RISK AT ALL. SINCE HONDA HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS FLAW I AM ASKING THAT THIS TRANSPORTATION ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS FOR VALIDITY AND INSTRUCT THEM TO CORRECT THIS HEALTH, AND SAFETY RISK AS WELL AS THE PREMATURE OR ACCELERATED WEAR OF MY ENGINE DUE TO THIS ACKNOWLEDGED FLAW.

THERE IS FUEL GETTING ADDED INTO THE ENGINE OIL. SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE CAR AT TIMES. OIL WAS CHANGED BY DEALER 3000 MILES BEFORE AND NOW THE OIL LEVEL IS A LOT HIGHER THAN MAXIMUM AND THERE IS A CLEAR SMELL OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE OIL. THE ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY IS CONSIDERABLY DOWN. I AM SURE THIS IS KILLING LUBRICATION TO MY ENGINE. REACHED OUT TO DEALER, ONLY THING THEY CAN DO IS ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE ADDRESSED PRETTY FAST OR ENGINE WILL START SEIZING UP SOON. I EMAILED HONDA FOR A RESPONSE AND THEY ARE REFERRING ME BACK TO THE DEALER. CHINA HAS STOPPED HONDA FROM SELLING CR-V IN THEIR MARKET IN LIGHT OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM AMAZED I AM NOT SEEING A RESPONSE FROM US AUTHORITIES ON THIS IMPORTANT CONSUMER ISSUE.

OIL DILUTION: I HAD AN OIL ANALYSIS DONE ON MY 2017 HONDA CRV AND IT CAME BACK SHOWING 14% GAS IN THE OIL.

VEHICLE HAS 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE AND GAS IS DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL. LEVEL HAS RISEN 10 MM ABOVE THE LAST OIL CHANGE LEVEL DONE 4/19/18, AFTER 5070 MILES. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA AS A VEHICLE STALLING PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS NOT HAPPEN TO US, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT COULD. I REPORTED IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE AT GANLEY HONDA OF N. OLMSTED, OH. THEY SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH CONSUMERS REPORTS DID AN EXTENSIVE ARTICLE ON THE 1.5 L OIL DILUTION PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT APPLE HONDA (2219, 1212 LOUCKS RD, YORK, PA 17404. 717-848-2600), HE CHECKED HIS OIL AND IT WAS A DARK COLOR AND IT SMELT LIKE FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT IN THE MORNING THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED I LEFT NO LIGHTS ON THERE WAS NO REASON FOR A DRAINED BATTERY ON A NEW CAR. AFTER JUMP STARTING THE CAR IT HAS NOW ISSUES LIKE A HARD START AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD MY INTERIOR LIGHTS DIMWHEN AT STOP LIGHT THE LOSS MITIGATION WARMING COMES ON BUT ALL MY EXTRAS EXTRA FOR THE STEERING HELP ARE OFF OT FEELS AS IF IT'S GOING TO DIE AT A LIGHT AND MY MPG WENT FROM 25.9 TO NOW 19.8 THAT'S INSANE!! I AM TAKING TO HONDA DEALER TOMORROW THIS IS A YEAR OLD HONDA

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD AT 55 MPH WITH OPEN FIELDS ON EACH SIDE. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, THE AUDIBLE WARNING SIGNAL SOUNDED AND THE BAKES SLAMMED ON HARD. THEN WENT OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF US. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL IN THE CRANKCASE. THE PROBLEM WAS VERIFIED BY THE SERVICE DEOARTMENT OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED.

GEAR SHIFT BUTTON BROKE MAKING IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT CAR IN THE "P" PARKING GEAR. THE SHIFT BUTTON EVENTUALLY CAME ALL THE WAY OUT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS INTO "PARK". FINALLY GOT IT INTO PARK WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. WIFE NOT HAPPY AND WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY IF SHE CAN'T PUT THE CAR INTO PARK.

THE PUSH BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT HAS DISINTEGRATED. UNABLE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS IMPROPERLY LEAKING INTO THE OIL OF THE CRANK CASE. THE DEALER (BOB BRADY HONDA, 3955 E BOYD RD, DECATUR, IL 62521, (217) 876-3800) WAS PERFORMING THE ROUTINE OIL CHANGES, BUT COULD NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO ENGINE RECALLS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TT UPDATED 12/19/18*JB

2.0 LITER TURBO CHARGED ENGINE FUEL DRAWING INTO OIL INCREASING OIL LEVEL TO ABOVE MAXIMUM OIL LEVEL READING. MAY CAUSE DRIVE ABILITY PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALER

ALARM WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY. CLICKING LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB DOES NOT TURN THE ALARM OFF. INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE DOOR WAS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE ALARM OFF. THE MESSAGE "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR. I TURNED MY CAR ON, BUT WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THERE WERE CLICKING NOISES, THE DASH FLICKERED REPEATEDLY, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF CLICKING THE PUSH START/STOP BUTTON TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. IT WAS TOWED TO HONDA (TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR ONTO THE BED BECAUSE ALL OF THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURES WERE RANDOMLY ACTIVATING) AND HONDA REPLACED SOME WIRING AND SAID I WAS GOOD TO. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN, SAME ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN IT OFF, AND THE SAME KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM WAS ON THE DASH. I STARTED THE CAR, THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT INTO THE HOUSE, AND THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN 15 MINUTES LATER. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND WILL TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TOMORROW. NOTE, WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, THE ELECTRICITY TURNED BACK ON IN THE CAR BY ITSELF. I NOW SUSPECT THE ELECTRICITY IS TURNING ON BY ITSELF AND AFTER SITTING IDLE FOR A WHILE THE ALARM ACTIVATES.

GASOLINE IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL CAUSING OIL SMELL IN CAR AND MAKING THE OIL THIN AND OVER THE FILL LINE ON DIP STICK.

PARASITIC BATTERY DRAIN, VEHICLE BATTERY DRAINS AFTER 2 DAYS OF NON USE

ON MARCH 1ST 2018 THE ENGINE STALLED TWICE *(WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON) IN A HEAVILY CONGESTED PART OF OUR CITY. . STRONG SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. WAS DRIVING TO VISIT FRIENDS FOR LUNCH ON OPPOSITE END (SOUTH) WHERE I WORK. THE FIRST STALL OCCURRED ON A SERVICE ROAD LEADING TO RESTAURANT. THE 2ND STALL OCCURRED DRIVING BACK FROM RESTAURANT TO WORK..

ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS. DRIVEN PRIMARILY ON THE INTERSTATE ROADS.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON HWY 86 FROM THE CITY OF IMPERIAL CA. WHEN I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 65 MPH SUDDENLY START GOING UP AND DOWN WITH THE SPEED ( GOING UP TO 67 AND DOWN TO 64) WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I ARRIVE TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER HEARING PROBLEMS WITH THE STALLING ON THE CR-V MODELS , MY HUSBAND CHECK THE OIL AND IT SMELL A LOT TO GASOLINE.

GASOLINE IN ENGINE OIL. MY CRV HAS AN OIL LEVEL OVER THE FULL MARK ON THE DIP STICK AND THE OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE. THIS CAR OFTEN HAS TO BE GIVEN 40-50% THROTTLE TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE OIL LEVEL ABOVE THE FULL MARK. THE SMELL YOU CANT PHOTOGRAPH.

BUTTON PLUS SPRING POPPED OUT OF THE SHIFTER WHILE IN MOTION.

SOMETIMES, I AM ABLE TO SMELL ODOR OF GASOLINE DURING DRIVING IN THE CABIN FROM LAST WINTER SEASON. IT IS GETTING WORSE DURING THESE DAYS. I FOUND 2017-2018 CR-V ENGINE HAS PROBLEM WHICH ENGINE OIL MIXES WITH GASOLINE. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND IT IS REALLY INCREASED AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE WITH ENGINE OIL. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND RECALL INFORMATION. I THINK IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND AFFECT TO DRIVING AND CAR MAINTENANCE.

OIL FROM DIPSTICK SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS. LEVEL SEEM HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD.
