2018 Honda CR-V complaints

PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE MIXING IN WITH THE ENGINE OIL. TOOK TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND PROBLEM IS WORSE. DEALER ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORP AND THE NHTSA.

ENGINE OIL APPEARS TO BE DILUTED EVEN AFTER HONDA'S FIX. HEATER WORKS POORLY EVEN AFTER FIX.

OIL IS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE. OIL VOLUME WAS A QUART OVERFULL. IT WAS STATIONARY.

OIL DILUTION. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE CRANKCASE CONTINUALLY RISES DUE TO GAS SEEPAGE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR TO THE ENGINE. ONGOING SINCE PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. THE ENGINE ALSO NEVER WARMS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE UNLESS YOUR GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY WHEN AROUND TOWN.

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, A VERY COLD CLIMATE. MY HONDA CR-V EX HAS REMOTE START. WITH EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, YOU REMOTE START THE VEHICLE, IT IDLES FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND YOUR CAR GETS WARM AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS. IT REMAINS COOL, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MANY MILES (SAY 10-15) BEFORE THE ENGINE HEATS UP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NOTICABLE HEAT. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD. DURING A RECENT ICE STORM, I COULD NOT KEEP MY WINDSHIELD FROM BUILDING UP ICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH HEAT TO THE WINDSHIELD EVEN USING THE DEFROST SETTING AND FANS AT FULL ON.

PURCHASED NEW HONDA CR-V 2018. OIL HAS GASOLINE ENTERING CRANKCASE AND AN ODOR OF GASOLINE IS EVIDENT. HONDA SENT RECALL AND I HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED AND IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED 2018 HONDA NEW FROM BOARDWALK HONDA, NJ. IMMEDIATELY GAS WAS ENTERING OIL AND GAS ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT CORRECT PROBLEM AND STATED HONDA WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND WORKING ON A REPAIR. CONTACTED BY BOARDWALK HONDA AND TOLD THEY RECEIVED REPAIR INFO FROM HONDA. I TOOK CAR IN AND THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE. THE REPAIR HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

THE INFORMATION SCREEN FOR AUDIO AND CLIMATE CONTROLS GO COMPLETELY OUT AND OR FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. THE FUNCTION ON THE DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR ANTI BRAKE AND ANTI COLLISION ALSO FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. LOSING CRITICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS STILL OPERATING. I HAVE VIDEO AND MORE PHOTOS

1/8/2019 - SMELLED SULFUR FROM EXHAUST. MADE APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE OIL/GAS RECALL REPAIR. 1/16/2019 - RECALL REPAIR. 1/19/2019 - SMELLED SULFUR, THIS TIME IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. 1/20/2019 - TWICE, WHILE IDLING, THE ENGINE KNOCKED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL THOUGH IT DID NOT.

WHEN YOU PULL DIPSTICK OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS, ALSO STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN CABIN WHILE DRIVING! IT MAKES ME SICK SO YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMETIMES ON BUSY HIGHWAY FOR SMELL TO STOP. YOU CAN OPEN WINDOW WHILE DRIVING. I KNOW IT IS SOFTWARE ISSUE IN HONDA COMPUTER, CHINA AND CANADA ALREADY RECALL 650.000 HONDA CRVS HEAT DOESN'T WORK PROPER EITHER, GOING FROM WARM TO COLD REALLY FAST, TOOK MY 11 MONTHS OLD TO HONDA THEY SAID IS NORMAL SMELL GAS IN OIL. I HAVE THEIR OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON PAPER. NOT SURE WHY NOTHING IS DONE. IT HAS TO BE HARD ON ENGINE ALL THIS GAS IN OIL CHAMBER.

SMELL OF GAS EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW HOURS GAP. ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT.

CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA CRV VOYAGER REGARDING OIL DILUTION. THE COMPANY SAYS THAT THE GAS SMELL ON THE VEHICLES OIL DIP STICK IS "NORMAL." THEY ALSO STATED THAT IF THE OIL LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AN INTERIOR LIGHT OR ENGINE NOISE WOULD INDICATE AN ISSUE. MEANING THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS ARBITRARY.

MY 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR ON WITH THE AIR COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IS APPARENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SERIOUS HEALTH SAFETY CONCERN AS INHALATION OF FUMES IS DEFINITELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THE DIPSTICK SHOWS THE OIL IS OVERFILLED BEYOND WHAT THE DIPSTICK MEASURES AND THE OIL SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY 5TH GENERATION CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE WITH TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CABIN. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY OIL LEVEL TO RISE TO UNSAFE LEVELS THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE DETERIORATION OF EXPENSIVE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON DECEMBER 4TH 2018, WHERE A MODULE RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND SOME SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS INSTALLED. THIS CHANGED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SICKENING SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS THE DIPSTICK SHOWING MORE OIL THAN IT CAN MEASURE ALONG WITH THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, HE MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE WHEELS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A GUARDRAIL HEAD ON AND ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER DOESN'T ACCESS VEHICLE CRASHES OR INVESTIGATIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. *BF *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A STEERING RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JS

OIL IS BEING DILUTED BY BLOW-BY GAS FROM COMBUSTION CHAMBERS.

THE SEAT BELT LATCHES FOR THE REAR MIDDLE AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAVE A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THE STRAP FOR THE REAR CENTER SEAT COMES DOWN FROM THE ROOF AND ATTACHES BESIDE THE REAR DRIVERS SEAT LATCH. WHEN YOU PULL THE BELT OVER TO SECURE THE CENTER SEAT BELT IT COVERS THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH. I UNDERSTAND THE 2017 CRV HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

AFTER RECEIVING HONDA TSB 18-124 FROM HONDA, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE ISSUE, MY CR-V PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE! NOW, NOT ONLY DOES THE VEHICLE GET A TERRIBLE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN, (ESPECIALLY ON INITIAL START-UP AND WHILE IDLING), BUT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED NEW PROBLEMS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE ARE: - WORSE OIL DILUTION (GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL) . IT ROSE BY 1 QUART IN 2 WEEKS SINCE GETTING THE UPDATE (ABOUT 500 MILES OF DRIVING) - A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL AND EVEN AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE - WORSE GAS MILEAGE. A DECLINE BY SEVERAL MPGS - COLDER CABIN -- TAKES MUCH LONGER TO GENERATE HEAT THIS IS JUST WRONG ON A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDS A PROACTIVE RECALL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION ASAP. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE HONDA ' USERS ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AFTER THEIR UPDATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADREST TILTED INWARDLY TO THE POINT THAT THE CONTACT HAD TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR HER NECK. THE HEADREST ALSO AFFECTED THE CONTACT WHILE DRIVING. OCEAN HONDA OF WHITTIER (13839 WHITTIER BLVD, WHITTIER, CA 90605, (562) 280-2838) ATTEMPTED TO GET THE CONTACT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A NEW LOAN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE CONTACT TURNED THE HEADREST THE WRONG WAY. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED THE CONTACT'S REQUEST TO HAVE AN ENGINEER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500. Contact stated she has permanent spinal injury and has traded her vehicle in.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A FUEL ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS ALSO PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COCONUT POINT HONDA (22240 S. TAMIAMI TRL, ESTERO, FL) AND A PRODUCT UPDATE WAS PERFORMED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE OIL CONTINUED TO SMELL OF FUEL AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE IS GASOLINE LEAKING INTO MY OIL. THERE IS OVER 1 QUART OF OIL IN MY 4 QUART OIL PAN. THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK IS 1/2" HIGHER THAN THE MAXIMUM LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE OIL REEKS OF GASOLINE. HONDA HAS TRIED, BUT FAILED TO FIX THIS. I CAN SMELL THE GAS IN THE CABIN AND WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I CONTACTED A MAJOR OIL COMPANY IF THE RATIO OF GAS TO OIL WOULD CAUSE A PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS "ALARMING" I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ODOR OF GAS, SPECIFICALLY THE BENZENE WHICH IS PRESENT IN GASOLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE FIRE TOO. WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHANGE THE OIL TWO TIMES NOW EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST BRAND NEW AND WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE UNTIL 10K MILES ON IT.

2018 HONDA CR-V BOUGHT NEW, ONLY HAS 475 MILES AND GETTING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND WE CANNOT SET THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL OR USE ANY OF THESE SAFETY FEATURES. I'VE FOUND A BLOG THAT HAS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND WORSE TO INCLUDE BRAKE FAILURE. WE ARE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BRANDON HONDA, BRANDON FL TOMORROW. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A BRAND NEW CAR.

OIL DILUTION, GASOLINE GETTING INTO CRANKCASE

BRAND NEW ALL WHEEL DRIVE 2018 VEHICLE. IT COULD NOT STOP ON SNOW ROAD NEAR 20MPH EVEN LOWER SPEED COUPLE TIMES! TWO TIMES SLIPPED OVER THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS DUE TO COULD NOT STOP! SCARED TO DEATH!!!

WHEN EVER I DRIVE MY CAR IN CITY AND HIGHWAY I SMELL GAS OR BURN SMELL STRONG IN CABIN .I RECENTLY NOTICE THAT MY FRONT HEADLIGHT CHANGE INTO BRIGHT AND HIT THE ORDER CAR DRIVER FACE DIRECTLY IN TWO WAY STREETS AND NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS ONE TIMES

SONE HOW GAS IS GETTING THE OIL. I LEFT VEHICLE RUN AT IDLE FOR 15 MINUTES IN DRIVEWAY TEMP GAUGE DOES NOT MOVE. IF I DRIVE VEHICLE THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP BUT STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TEMP GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AGAIN. VERY STRONG ODER OF GASOLINE IN SIDE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT OR PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES. YOU HAVE TO PUT WINDOWS DOWN IT SMELLS SO BAD. HONDA IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND DOES NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO ANY OF THEM! MY VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO GET FIXED FRIDAY MORNING. 1-11-19 BUT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THE FIX HONDA IS DOING DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA IS FORCED TO DO SOMETHING? IT IS ALL HONDA CRV VEHICLES AND SOME OTHER MODELS FROM 2017 AND 2018.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR JUNE 2018. IT WAS PERFECT. EVERYTHING WORKED FLAWLESSLY. THEN JANUARY 3 I HAD A TSB PERFORMED ON THE CAR, NOW MY MPG'S HAVE DROPPED BY 10MPG. AND I HAD NO ISSUE WITH HEAT BEFORE, AND NOW I DO. START THE CAR, WITHIN 2 MILES I HAVE HEAT. 20 MINUTES INTO MY JOURNEY, THE CENTER VENTS ON THE DASH START BLOWING COLD AIR. DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH I TURN UP THE HEAT DIAL, IT CONTINUES TO BLOW COLD AIR FROM THE CENTER VENTS FROM THAT POINT IN THE TRIP FORWARD. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CALLED HONDA TECH LINE AND HONDA TECH LINE CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS NOT DOING THAT PRIOR THIS TSB BEING DONE ON MY CAR. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AGREES WITH ME IT'S NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT TECH LINE TOLD THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS WILDLY UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU NEED TO STEP IN. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HONDA IS DOING THIS TO! IN CHINA A STOP SALE WAS FORCED BY CONSUMERS BECAUSE THE CRV IS DEFECTIVE. WHY ISN'T THE USA DOING SOMETHING TO HELP US????

GAS IS ENTERING AND RAISING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL LEVELS. CONCERNED THAT SOFTWARE UPDATES MADE BY DEALER WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE. WORRIED ABOUT LONG TERM ENGINE RELIABILITY. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND ENGINE WARRANTY COVERAGE TO PROTECT US DOWN THE ROAD.

GASOLINE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE LUBRICATION OIL REDUCING THE ENGINE LUBRICATION ABILITY.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IN THIS CAR IS A "PASSIVE" SYSTEM. THAT MEANS THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR TRANSMITTERS IN THE TIRES BUT RATHER, THEY USE THE ABS SENSORS TO MEASURE RELATIVE WHEEL SPEED AND SINCE A LOW TIRE WILL HAVE A SMALLER DIAMETER, IT WILL ROTATE FASTER AND HONDA BELIEVES THEY CAN MEASURE RELATIVE TIRE PRESSURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IDEA IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED.: MY FIRST EXAMPLE: I HAD A TIRE GO FLAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. IT WASN'T A BLOW-OUT, JUST A TIRE THAT WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING. THE "TPMS" SYSTEM NEVER WARNED OF THE LOW TIRE AND THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY RUINED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. THAT LED TO MY SECOND REASON... THE TIRE STORE REPLACED THE TIRE WITH AN IDENTICAL SIZE BUT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER'S TIRE. THAT RESULTED IN MULTIPLE PERIODIC WARNINGS OF "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM PROBLEM". TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THAT ANY REPLACEMENT TIRE HAD TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS ORIGINALLY CAME ON THE CAR AND I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE TWO, AND POSSIBLY ALL FOUR TIRES.. THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE TIRES! IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE TPMS SHOULD MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE... NOT MAKE, MODEL AND TREAD PATTERN AS THE DEALER TOLD ME. LASTLY, I GOT IN THE CAR FOR A DRIVE A FEW DAY AGO AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, HEARD A NOISE AND STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE.... ANOTHER FLAT TIRE AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. A SYSTEM OPERATING AS POORLY AS THIS ONE IS LESS THAN USELESS BECAUSE

AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES I CHANGED THE OIL IN OUR 2018 CR-V (FOR THE FIRST TIME) AND REALIZED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 QUARTS TOO MUCH OIL (IT WASN'T ALL OIL, GASOLINE HAD DILUTED THE OIL). WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT THE HONDA DEALER IN GRAND ISLAND, NE TO HAVE THEM 'INSTALL UPDATED INJECTOR SOFTWARE AND SOMETHING CONCERNING THE A/C REGULATOR (THEY SAID).

BOUGHT A NEW 2018 CR-V EX TURBO IN SEPTEMBER. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THEY HAD ISSUES WITH GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. THE MAINTENANCE FOR OIL CHANGES IS 10,000 MILES. I CHANGED OIL MYSELF AT 6,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 16,000 BY THE DEALER THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A/C COMPUTER. THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT WILL REPAIR. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE SAME A/C COMPUTER. SO, I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK ONLINE JANUARY 6TH FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF CR-V'S HAVE GAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. SINCE I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED BY THE DEALER I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MINE HAS MIXED. MY OIL WAS 1/2' PAST FULL. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN JANUARY 10TH. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE? I FEEL I WAS SET UP WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THE A/C RECALL WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'LL SURE BE KEEPING AN EYE ON MY OIL AFTER THE REPAIR.

GASOLINE SMELL IN OIL,ALSO OCCASIONALLY GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN TURN ON THE HEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE IDLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOBBY RAHAL HONDA OF STATE COLLEGE (LOCATED AT 2796 W COLLEGE AVE, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801, (814) 552-1352) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,989.

OIL DILUTED WITH GASOLINE

OIL DILUTION, OVER FULL OIL MARK, ENGINE OIL LEAK NOTICED WHEN STATIONARY. GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE P

I HAVE THE 2018 TOURING 1.5L TURBO CHARGED MODEL. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FUEL IN OIL ISSUE AND HONDA SAYS NEVADA IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE UPDATE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND WANT IT FIXED. I DRIVE IN A VERY COLD CLIMATE ON SHORT TRIPS, WHICH IS WHEN THEY SAY THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING IN THIS MODELS.

GASOLINE IN THE OIL!

WITH ALL THE BUZZ ON INTERNET AND ALSO C.R.ABOUT GAS MIXING WITH OIL, I BOUGHT A 2018 CRV WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE, I CHECKED MY OIL IT WAS PASSED THE FULL MARK AND SMELLED OF GAS.I TOOK THE OIL CAP OFF IT ALSO HAD A SMELL OF GAS.SO MOST OF US KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING, LONG STORY SHORT RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ADVISING TO SET A APPOINTMENT FOR A "FIX" I HOPE THIS WORKS HERE IN OHIO.MY APPOINTMENT IS FOR 1-7-2019,ALTHOUGH SOUNDS LIKE A IT DOESN'T WORK FROM COMMENTS PEOPLE HAVE MADE AFTER THEY TOOK THEIR CARS IN. PLEASE HELP!

ENGINE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH GASOLINE, CAUSING POSSIBLE MOTOR DAMAGE. DEALER REDID A FUEL MAPPING, AND MADE IT SO TEH FAN CANNOT BLOW UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED. THIS WONT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THESE DIRECT INJECTED MOTORS LET GASOLINE PAST THE RINGS WHEN COLD, AND IF THE CAR IS COLD FREQUENTLY, THE GASOLINE WILL NOT VAPORIZE FORM THE OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, THE INCREASED VOLUME OF LIQUID CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO LSOE POWER AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME, CAUSING A SAFETY RISK. I LIVE IN TEXAS, SO IT DOESN'T GET EXCEPTIONALLY COLD, BUT THIS HAPPENED ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. INTERNET SEARCHES SHOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES, AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

OUR 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING HAS THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM. OUR OIL LEVEL INCREASED ABOUT 3/4 INCH ON THE OIL STICK FROM MAY, 2018 TO DECEMBER, 2018 AND IT SMELLS LIKE GAS. WE HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS INSIDE OUR CAR. HONDA IS FIXING SOME CARS, BUT WE LIVE IN ARKANSAS AND OUR STATE IS NOT ON THE LIST TO BE REPAIRED. WE COULD HAVE AN ENGINE FIRE SO FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THE ENGINE WILL WEAR OUT A LOT FASTER WITH THE DILUTION....EVEN THOUGH THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT WON'T!!

GASOLINE IS GETTING INTO THE OIL. SYMPTOMS ARE A GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN AND THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK IS ABOVE THE TOP FILL LEVEL. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. HONDA IS REPAIRING CARS IN COLD WEATHER STATES ONLY. A TSB WAS ISSUED IN OCTOBER 22, 2018. WHY AREN'T THEY REPAIRING ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM? I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON MY CAR AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS 1/2 OVER THE FILL MARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. TEAM HONDA (4613 E LINCOLN HWY, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410, (219) 947-3900) SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR JANUARY 4, 2018 TO PROVIDE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800.

EXTRA OIL IN THE ENGINE; DURING THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE I FOLLOWED THE OEM'S RECOMMENDATION AND ADDED THE PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL TO THE ENGINE (3.5L OR 3.7QT). HOWEVER, WHEN I DID THE LAST OIL CHANGE I DRAINED 5QTS OF OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

ON 12/21/18, I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED FLASHING ALL KINDS OF ALERTS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. DOOR LOCKS, TAILGATE WOULD NOT CLOSE VIA REMOTE OR OR BY PRESSING THE BUTTONS FOR THESE FUNCTIONS. NO INDICATION THAT THE LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON. 2 HOURS PRIOR THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. TOW WAS REQUESTED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER GAVE THE BATTERY A JUMPSTART AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING FOR 30 MINUTES WHILE THE SYSTEM RESET. THE SYSTEM DID NOT RESET. DASHBOARD ALERTS FOR TPMS PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD PROBLEM AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSISTANCE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO FLASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME IN DRIVEWAY FROM THE PREVIOUS EVENING. WE MOVED IT FORWARD TWO HOURS PRIOR TO ALLOW SPACE TO ROLL OUT OR TRASH CANS FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE ON JULY 30TH 2018 AND HAS 8322 MILES ON IT. NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE OF THIS SORT WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. GRATEFUL THAT IT SHUTDOWN AT HOME RATHER THAN ON THE HIGHWAY.

GAS IS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT HEAT UP UNTIL MANY MILES OF DRIVING IN 40 DEGREE TEMPERATURES, DIP STICK IS SHOWING OVER FULL ALL THE TIME AND STILL NO FIX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE OIL DIPSTICK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEE'S SUMMIT HONDA (401 NE COLBERN RD, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO 64086. 816-251-8700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09225423. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,300.

MY 2018 CRY HAD OVER FUL OIL LEVEL ON DIPSTICK AND BAD SMELL OF FUEL IN OIL. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WAS KNOWN IN NORTHERN STATES BUT NOT IN TEXAS WHERE I LIVE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID A FIX IS BEING ISSUED IN NORTHERN STATES AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CALL ME IN FEW WEEKS TO SCHEDULE THE FIX FOR MY CRV. IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SERVICE MANAGER. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1 MONTH OF DRIVING AND THE LEVEL IS ABOVE FULL WITH A SMELL OF GAS ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY ENGINES LONGEVITY.

OIL LEVEL OVER MAXIMUM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. THERE WAS ALSO A LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY AS VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SOUTHEASTERN HONDA (3125 US-1, PALM BAY, FL 32905, (321) 984-4224), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS NOT OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO CALL BACK. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.
