2017 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLY WOOD HONDA (1909 W HILLSBORO ST, EL DORADO, AR 71730, (870) 863-5400) WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURER UPDATED THE COMPUTER AGAIN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR A THIRD TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. ALSO, WHILE INSPECTING THE OIL, THE CONTACT NOTICED IT WAS OVERFILLED AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300. *JS

AT 6,000 MILES ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING OIL DILUTION. OIL IS ABOVE MAX LEVEL ON DIPSTICK AND SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS, VEHICLE WAS COLD AND STATIONARY WHEN OIL LEVEL WAS CHECKED. CALLED A NEARBY HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE) 1,000 MILES AGO. AN AUTOMOBILE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN OIL CHANGE AFTER 1,000 MILES OF USE.

AT 15,000 MILES, I HAVE FOUND THAT GASOLINE IS CONTAMINATING THE CRANKCASE OIL EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE OR DRIVE VERY SHORT DISTANCES. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX AND HAS RECEIVED NO GUIDANCE FROM HONDA.

THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE DEVELOPS HIGH OIL LEVEL READINGS DUE TO FUEL CONTAMINATION. I HAD SEVERAL (12) SYSTEM FAILURE NOTICES APPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY "FOUND THAT OIL LEVEL WAS OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". ALSO NOTICED THAT IN COLD WEATHER, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT DEFROSTER IS NOT WARM ENOUGH AND CAN'T KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR RESULTING IN POOR OR NO VISIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP. DOES NOT WARM UP AT IDLE. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP WHILE IN MOTION. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO GET THE ENGINE UP TO A PROPER TEMPERATURE IS TO TURN OFF ECON MODE, DRIVE IN SPORT MODE AND DO NOT TURN HEATER ON.

1.EXCESSIVE WHITE EXHAUST FUMES WHILE DRIVING (10/15/18) 2.WHEN RUNNING IT SMELLS LIKE SULFUR & FUEL (10/16/18 & 10/17/18). 3.ALSO, SMELLED FUEL INSIDE THE CAR 4.HEADACHE AND NAUSEATED DUE TO FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN 5.TOOK TO DEALER SHIP (10/18/18), THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. OK TO DRIVE 6.ON THE WAY HOME FROM DEALERSHIP, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE STALLED. DID NOT HAVE POWER. 7.STOPPED THE CAR, WAITED FOR 10 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE CAR, ENGINE LIGHT WENT WAY. 8.CAR STALLED FEW TIMES AFTER THAT WHILE DRIVING 9.I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL OIL CHANGE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 10/13/18 10.CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL. OIL LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN RECOMMENDED. SMELLED FUEL IN THE OIL. DEALER'S RESPONSE (10/19/18) 1.DEALER TALKED TO HONDA ' THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FUEL GETTING INTO OIL AND COMING UP WITH A FIX MID-NOVEMBER. THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT AFFECT THE ENGINE OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 2.THEY DID NOT FIND ANY CODE IN THE COMPUTER 3.ENGINE STALLS WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH OIL RESULTING FROM FUEL GETTING INTO OIL 4.DID NOT GIVE OIL SAMPLE AS REQUESTED 5 CHANGED THE OIL AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE: FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WORKING ON A FIX. AS PER HONDA, IT WILL NOT AFFECT LONG TERM LIFE OF ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

THE PLASTIC DETENT BUTTON ON THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR BROKE. IT IS SPRING LOADED AND WHEN IT BROKE THE BUTTON SHOT OUT ONTO THE FLOOR BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL (FROM DRIVE) IN THIS CONDITION, YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE OR PARK MAKING THIS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THIS WAS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 CRV. THE PART WAS REPLACED FOR FREE BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BREAK AGAIN. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I CHANGED FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

AFTER I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, STOPPED THE VEHICLE, AND PUT IT INTO PARK, I RELEASED THE SHIFTER INTERLOCK BUTTON AND IT POPPED OUT AND LANDED ON THE FLOOR. FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS I THOUGHT THE BUTTON HAD MORE PLAY IN IT WHEN, BUT FIGURED THAT I WAS IMAGINING IT BECAUSE WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH A BUTTON ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND THEY ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER AND TELL ME TO STOP DRIVING IT SINCE NOT BEING TO SHIFT A VEHICLE INTO PARK (IF THE BUTTON WERE TO FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING) SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE.

EXCESSIVE FLUID IN OIL PAN AND STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN HAVING MY OIL CHANGED. OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AT VALVOLINE SERVICE CENTER

OUR CRV IS ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM OF GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL. WE HAVE THREE EVIDENCES OF THIS: 1) THE OIL LEVEL IS MUCH TOO HIGH; 2) THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS; 3) THE ENGINE FROM TIME TO TIME HAS NOT RUN OR IDLED PROPERLY, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY STALLING. YESTERDAY I TOOK THE CAR IN TO OUR DEALER AND REQUESTED AN OIL CHANGE UNDER WARRANTY AS WE VIEW THIS AS A DEFECT, AND HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THIS. THE DEALER GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO A ONE-TIME FREE OIL CHANGE AS A COURTESY, BUT I FEEL HONDA SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS. NO MATTER WHAT THEIR EXPERTS SAY, GASOLINE IN THE OIL CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE! WE ARE TOLD THAT A FIX IS IN THE WORKS, BUT HONDA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THE PROBLEM!

MY CAR HAS ABOUT 8800 MILES. HAD THE ENGINE OIL FIRST CHANGED AT 6100 MILES. SINCE THEN, THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL KEEPS RISING DURING NORMAL USE. THE OIL LEVEL IS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH ABOVE THE FULL LINE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG, AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD PROBLEMS. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THEY STATED THE FOLLOWING: "OIL CONSISTENCY WAS LIKE WATER AND SMELLS OF GAS. OIL REGISTERED OVERFILLED. OIL IS ALSO LEAKING FROM REAR MAIN SEAL AREA. RECOMMEND HAVING THIS CHECKED BY HONDA." IF YOU LOOK ONLINE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT OIL DILUTION IN THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE. CONSUMER REPORTS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF OIL DILUTION, SOME ENGINES HAVE BEEN STALLING WHILE ON THE ROAD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A QUALITY ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE LONG RUN.

ENGINE OIL BAY SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE BECAUSE OF THE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. MY DAY IS FILLED WITH SHORT DRIVES SO THE GASOLINE WILL NOT EVAPORATE.

AFTER READING A CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ABOUT GASOLINE IN THE OIL, ASKING OWNERS TO CHECK OIL LEVEL, I DID IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ABOUT ONE INCH ABOVE THE MAXIMUM MARK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TIP OF THE DIPSTICK SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IN THE MORNING BEFORE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN SINCE YESTERDAY. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE OF THE DIPSTICK.

VERY HIGH READING ON OIL DIPSTICK. STRONG GAS SMELL AS WELL. HONDA HAS AWARE THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALER DENIES THE SMELL AND ONLY LOWER THE OIL LEVEL WITHOUT PERFORM OIL CHANGE.

SMELL OF GAS IN THE OIL WHEN I CHECKED IT. ONLY 4K MILES ON IT.

2 SEPARATE CONCERNS! IN THE PAST YEAR THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I SMELLED GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHEN FIRST ENTERING AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. THIS OCCURRED DURING THE PAST 6 TO 8 MONTHS. STRONG ODOR. THERE IS GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IT IS ALWAYS WAY OVERFILLED. IT IS OVERFILLED DUE TO THE GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. LUBRICATING OIL IS BEING MIXED WITH SOLVENT - GAS. THERE IS THE VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS AS SOON AS YOU PULL THE OIL DIPSTICK. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ANY REPAIR, THIS IS NOTED ON MY WORK ORDER.

GASOLINE GETS INTO ENGINE OIL. OIL DIPSTICK SHOWS OIL LEVEL .5 TO 1.0 QUARTS OVER FULL LEVEL AFTER 2200 MILES OF DRIVING. OIL IS VERY BLACK AND WATERY AND SMELLS OF GASOLINE.

SAFETY MESSAGE "RADAR OBSTRUCTED" SAFETY AFFECTED. OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN

THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED WHILE CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR FROM THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL DIP STICK AND THE OIL FILLER CAP. ALSO THE OIL LEVEL SEEMS TO INCREASE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. A SAMPLE OF THE OIL WAS SENT TO OIL ANALYZERS INC AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE BY THE OWNER. THE REPORT IS ATTACHED. NOTE THAT THE REPORT INDICATES FUEL DILUTION GREATER THAT 5% BUT IN THE COMMENT SECTION THE IS NO NOTED ENGINE WEAR METALS FOUND THAT IS ABOVE NORMAL. HONDA NORTH AMERICA WAS NOTIFIED AND CASE #09009335 WAS GENERATED. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED BY U.S. POSTAL SERVICE CERTIFIED MAIL. THIS LETTER IS ATTACHED.

GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL.

I BOUGHT MY CR-V IN FEB 2017. SINCE 6TH OCT 2018 I HAVE BEGUN TO NOTICE HESITANCY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IN SOME CASES THE ENGINE HAS ALSO STALLED. CAR WAS NOT IN ECON MODE, BEING DRIVEN ON 'D' MODE ON A CITY STREET. FACED SIMILAR ISSUE ON A HIGHWAY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. TODAY (15TH OCT) IT HAPPENED THRICE BACK TO BACK IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE ON A CITY STREET.

I HAVE OBSERVED HIGH OIL LEVELS AND RAW FUEL ODORS ON THE DIP STCK, ALONG WITH RAW FUEL ODORS IN THE CABIN. I KNOW HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS OFFERED NO GUIDANCE. TELL THEY HAVE A FIX IN PLACE, HONDA SHOULD BE GIVING FREE OIL CHANGES TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE AND PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR.

GASOLINE IS ENTERING INTO OIL. LOST POWER ON INTERSTATE COULD ONLY GO 12 MPH TOOK OFF RAMP CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD US TO SHUT OFF CAR AND START IT BACK UP. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP.

2017 CRV AWD 2 MONTHS INTO OWNING ALL LIGHTS ON DASH LIKE BRAKE SYSTEM ENGINE AIR BAGS, TIRER, BRAKE. I SEE SPOTS OF OIL DRIVEWAY BUT OIL IS ALWAYS FULL. STALLS SOMETIMES WHEN TAKING OFF. THE OTHER DAY THE BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP CAUSING THE SUV TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, AND COULDNT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. THE SUV SWAG SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING BACKEND TO SLIDE SISDE TO SIDE. MAKING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP THE SUV ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THE DASH LIGHTS ALL OF THEM ON AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REST. SMELL GAS INSIDE THE SUV. I HAD A 2006 HONDA CIVIC BROUGHT IT NEW I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF IT GOING 300,000 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS THATS WHY I CHOSE TO GET ANOTHER HONDA, BUT WITH 2017 HONDA CRV HAS BEEN HELL WITH ALL THE ISSUES AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45MPH, AND HAD TO STOPPED IN MEDIAN OF ROAD TO TURN RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HONDA CRV 2017 STOPPED AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, IT STARTED SHOWING ALL THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS. 1) BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM 2) BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM 3) AIRBAG SYSTEM (SRS) PROBLEM 4) POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM 5) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM 6) VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) PROBLEM 7) HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM 8) ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM 9) COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM 10) ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM 11) AUTO HIGH-BEAM PROBLEM 12) TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM 13) ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM 14) LANE KEEPING ASSIST CANNOT OPERATE 15) SEAT BELT WARNING ON AND BEEPING EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT WAS BEING WORN. I TRIED TO TURN OFF, AND TURN ON, NOTHING HAPPENED. EXITED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED THE CAR. NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE. TRIED TO START 2-3 TIMES MORE, STILL NO LUCK. I CALLED THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, AND TOWED THE CAR TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 4 HOURS, AND CALLED ME THAT IT WAS LOW GAS ISSUE, AND CHARGED ME $88. I AM SURE IT WAS NOT LOW GAS, AND EVEN IF IT WAS LOW GAS, CAR WARNING SHOULD TELL ITS NOT STARTING DUE TO LOW GAS. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT ALL 15 ERRORS START SHOWING ON DASHBOARD.

GAS SMELL AFTER TURNING MOTOR OFF, GAS IN ENGINE OIL

WHEN DRIVING AND APPROACHING TO ENTER TO A HIGHWAY WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPEED UP THE CR-V HESITATES TO BUILD SPEED AND SOMEWHAT STALLS EVEN WHEN FLOORING THE THROTTLE PEDAL. INCOMING TRAFFIC SUDDENLY NEED TO LOWER THEIR SPEED AND I BECAME CONCERNED THAT THEY POSSIBLY COULD HIT ME. THE CR-V RESUMED TO BUILD UP SPEED AND FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT AT A GREAT EXPENSE OF BEING UTTERLY NERVOUS WHEN THIS COULD HAPLEN AGAIN. THE UNIT WAS JUST SERVICED FOR OIL AND FILTER AND INSPECTED. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

OIL DILUTION ISSUE. UPON CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL, NOTICED THAT LEVEL WAS 1/2" ABOVE TOP OF DIPSTICK MEASUREMENT AREA. ENGINE DIPSTICK ALSO SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY NOTED THE EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AS WELL, TOOK PICTURES, AND IS CONTACTING HONDA. DEALER STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A FIX EXPECTED IN NOVEMBER. DEALER CHANGED ENGINE OIL IN THE MEAN TIME TO BRING ENGINE OIL TO NORMAL LEVEL AND VISCOSITY. PREVIOUSLY NOTED WITH DEALER THAT SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT IN VEHICLE CABIN. UNKNOWN FIX AT THAT TIME AND I STATED THAT I WOULD BRING IT BACK IF IT CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE.

I HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE THREE TIMES RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING. I CALLED THE HONDA HEADQUARTERS. THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THEY ARE WORKING ON. THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. THEY CLAIM GAS LEAKS INTO THE OIL FILTER WHICH CAN AFFECT THE ENGINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY SND A POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THE SHORT TIME I AM DRIVING MY CAR. MY BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 7 MONTHS AFTER I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY BATTERY DIED. RECENTLY THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB BROKE OFF WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. I WAS DROPPING OFF A PASSENGER. IT WAS REPLACED.

OUR 2017 HONDA CRV KEEPS SHOWING OVER FULL EVEN THOUGH NO OIL WAS ADDED AND HAS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL TO IT. I FEEL FUEL MIXING IN THE OIL COULD BE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THE ENGINE COULD ALSO SUFFER MAJOR DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THIS.

I HAVE DONE TWO OIL CHANGES AT HOME THIS PAST YEAR AND EACH TIME I HAVE EXTRACTED MORE FLUIDS THAN THE LISTED OIL CAPACITY IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I READ AN ARTICLE FROM CONSUMER REPORTS REPORTING THAT THERE MAYBE GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THE SYMPTOM OF OVER FILLED ENGINE OIL IS A COMMON ONE AS REPORTED IN THE ARTICLE.

FUEL GETTING IN OIL, LEVEL IS HIGH ON DIPSTICK, SMELLS LIKE GAS ON DIPSTICK AND IN CAR WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS DETECTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IN THE ENGINE OIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED LOVE HONDA AT (352) 628-4600 (LOCATED AT 2219 S SUNCOAST BLVD, HOMOSASSA, FL 34448) AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,968.

ENGINE OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE

GAS WAS FOUND IN THE OIL. OIL STICK WAS ABOVE THE NORMAL RANGE. POOR GAS MILEAGE.

4000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE, CHECKED OIL DIPSTICK, OIL LEVEL TOO HIGH...OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. CRV NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY, HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BUTTON FELL OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND MY SPOUSE COULD NOT RELEASE THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO COLLECT THE BUTTON AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN FIND THE BUTTON ON THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A TAKEN A VERY CASUAL RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SERIOUS CONCERN. FROM ALL OF THE RESEARCH AND PRESS I REVIEWED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, THE ANSWER IS TO USE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO CHANGE GEARS OR GLUE THE PLASTIC PIECE IN PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED VERSUS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SO HE CAN GLUE IT BACK IN. THIS VEHICLE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT NOT TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION WORK AS INTENDED.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW, I NOTICED AT AROUND 4K MILES THE OIL SMELLED HEAVILY OF FUEL AND WAS OVERFULL. THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER WERE CHANGED. 5K MILES LATER THE OIL AGAIN REEKED OF FUEL AS WAS OVERFULL. OIL AND FILTER CHANGED AGAIN. AT AROUND 15K MILES THE OIL AGAIN IS OVERFULL AND APPARENTLY DILUTED WITH OIL. I DID RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS MAY BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED IF I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE MINDER SYSTEM AND WENT 10K MILES PER OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE WILL LOCK UP FROM LACK OF LUBRICATION.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL HIGH

ENGINE OIL SMELL LIKE A GAS,GAS RUN INTO/MIX WITH ENGINE OIL,ENGINE OIL LEVEL RISING EACH WEEK. DEFINITELY EFFECT THE VEHICLE USE LIFE. IN THE WINTER SEASON,CAR HEATER HAS TO WAIT A LONG TIME TO GET HEAT FROM AIR CONDITIONER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT AN OIL CHANGE, IT HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC HONDA OF MIDLAND (3705 W WALL ST, MIDLAND, TX 79703, (432) 681-1400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE TURBO SYSTEM WAS BLOWN. THE DEALER RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO PERFORM TESTS TO SEE WHO WAS LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE STATED THAT THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RAN TESTS ON THE OIL FILTER AND CONCLUDED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AT FAULT FOR THE TURBO SYSTEM FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CURRENTLY CONTESTING THE CLAIM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,800. *TT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' UPDATED 12/07/18*JB

GAS SMELL IN CABIN. ENGINE OIL LEVEL HAS RISEN AND SMELLS LIKE GAS. SMELL HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

GAS IS MIXING IN WITH MY OIL CAUSING IT TO DILUTE OIL.

WITHOUT ANY REASON THE AUTOBRAKING/COLLISION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED TWICE WHEN NO CARS OR ANIMALS ON THE ROAD ONE TIME GOING 55MPH AND ANOTHER TIME GOING APPROX. 40MPG. IN ADDITION THE DISPLAY SCREEN (RADIO ETC.) DOES NOT DIM. IT STAYS FULL BRIGHTNESS EVEN WITH ADJUSTING IT. HONDA HAD TO FIX WHEN VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AFTER I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THEM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. THE SCREEN BLINDS ME AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS VERY BRIGHT SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE THE ROAD. THIS STAYS BRIGHT STOPPED OR MOVING. LASTLY, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AUTO HIGH BEAMS ALSO HAD AN ERROR WHILE DRIVING.

GAS SMELL ON OIL DIP STICK, OIL LEVEL READING HIGHER THAN ORANGE MARKINGS, OIL BLACK AND WATERY

GASOLINE CONTAMINATION TO OIL. OIL LEVELS ARE HIGH AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. AMERICAN HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ADVISES THERE IS NO FIX. RECOMMENDS OIL CHANGES AS NEEDED, BUT WILL NOT REIMBURSE COST. ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS, HONDA CRV (2017 & 2018) OWNERS ARE REPORTING STALLS. THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NO RECALL ANNOUNCED. PLEASE GET WITH HONDA AND INVESTIGATE.

GAS SMELL INSIDE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IDLE

GAS IN OIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HIGH OIL LEVELS ON THE DIPSTICK CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OCCASIONALLY STALL AND CREATED A FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (MCGRATH CITY HONDA, 6720 W GRAND AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60707) WHERE THEY CHANGED THE OIL. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE OIL LEVEL WAS HIGH AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2018 AFTER GETTING OFF A FREEWAY AND SLOWING DOWN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE THE SPEED, BUT IT DID NOT PICK UP; I TRIED MANY TIMES BUT MY CAR BARELY MOVED (LIKE 10 OR 15MILES). I PANICKED BUT I JUST TRIED TO PARK MY CAR IN THE PARKING OF A NEAREST GROCERY STORE. I COULD BARELY MOVE THE CAR AND PARKED THE CAR THERE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AAA. A GUY FROM AAA CHECKED MY CAR AND TURNED ON THE ENGINE; WE SMELLED VERY STRONG GASOLINE-LIKE EXHAUST. HE SUGGESTED MY CAR SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR INSPECTION. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER BY AAA. ON 10/5, THE RESULT WAS "OIL WAS OVER-FILLED 3-4 QRTS OVER. DRAINED ALL THE OIL AND REFILLED TO SPEC." (AFTER 4,500 MILAGE, MY CAR'S OIL CHANGE HAD BEEN DONE BY ANOTHER HONDA DEALER ONE MONTH BEFORE.) AS MY CAR WAS FINE, I WAS TOLD TO PICK IT UP. BUT I FOUND A CONSUMER REPORT ARTICLE ABOUT 2017 CR-V'S RISING OIL LEVEL (GASOLINE-MIXED OIL), STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, GAS SMELL, ETC. THE SERVICE AND SALES PERSONS I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE ISSUE. ON 10/6, THE QC MANAGER CALLED ME, TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD CHECK MY CAR'S OIL LEVEL EVERY 500 MILES WITHOUT EXPLAINING MUCH. HE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT HE DID NOT KNOW IT UNTIL THE PREVIOUS DAY, HE SAID. HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT A FIX. I AM NOW SCARED OF DRIVING THIS CAR AND CANNOT TRUST THIS HONDA DEALER ANY MORE. WHILE I AM WRITING THIS REPORT, MY CAR PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED YET; I HAVE NOT EVEN PICKED UP MY CAR YET FROM THE

STALLED MOMENTARILY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OIL STICK INDICATES 25 % EXCESSIVE FLUID.
