Fuel is mixing with the motor oil and diluting it. Oil level rises above the full mark on the oil dipstick and has an odor of fuel. I had a professional oil analysis performed that confirmed that the oil is being diluted and viscosity lost. A copy is attached. The flash point also is reduced. This problem could affect engine performance and become a safety issue. The problem is ongoing. The date given is the date of…

A few weeks ago, my wife and i were driving on the interstate and noticed a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment, which lasted a short period of time and went away. On another occasion we noticed the smell again. I checked the fuel fill tube but found no problem there. I also checked under the hood and detected a fuel smell but saw no evidence of a leak. While under the hood i checked the oil and smelled a…

Engine oil overfill condition exists as early as 700 miles after oil change at the dealership. Engine oil is above the 'full' mark on the dipstick and the engine oil has the distinct smell of gasoline present. This problem is reported on numerous honda cr-v owners forums and is associated with the 1.5 turbo engine. It is our fear that if this overfill condition is due to the presence of gasoline mixing with the…

Fuel is making it's way into the oil system. Everytime i check the oil i can clearly smell gasoline on the dipstick. I know that honda has recalled 350,000 crvs in china for the same issue with the same 1.5 turbo engines however, when i tell the dealership or honda representatives about it they act as if it is an isolated incident. This will eventually cause premature wear on the engine and potentially become a…

Driving on freeway. Button to shift tranmission/gears disintegrated. Knew immediately that i would not be able to shift car into park, etc. Felt extremely dangerous since i was going 50+ mph when this happened. Based on level of complaints - see link - believe this should be addressed by recall. Also could easily cause a serious accident.…

Honda's 1.5l turbo engine oil level increases in the engine oil over time as unburnt excess fuel collects on the engine cylinder walls. The engine oil level grows quicker depending on driving conditions - sometimes colder weather, sometimes freeway speeds, there seems to be many variables. To combat the issue i am forced to change the engine oil more often for fear of engine misfires, engine damage, and premature…

Auto showed too much oil on dipstick reading and oil had strong smell of gas. Dealer only drained excess oil and said lights will come on if real issue. I suspected fuel in oil so had oil tested at next oil change. Test showed oil in critical state with over 5% fuel in oil. Dealer refuses to acknowledge issue. Worries include engine fire, premature engine wear and damage. Honda needs to admit problem and produce…

I parked my car and turned it off to go into a store. When i came out i found that my car had rolled backwards into another car. Fortunately there was no damage to either car, as i assume it occurred at a very low speed. When i renetered the vehicle it was still in the drive gear, which was my error. However, i don't know how the car was able to be turned off completely and locked while not even in park or even…

Checked oil at our destination, on level ground, and the oil level was 1/4" to 3/8" above the full line on the dipstick and smelled of gasoline. I called honda and received a case number 08740888. Took car to dealer and was told honda is aware of the problem but doesn't know what to do…

After starting up the crv in the garage, i exited it and climbed a short ~100' ramp about the height of 1 story at 10 mph or less. During at least two times in the past 7 months, the engine sputtered while climbing this ramp and neared a stall point. This occurred while in montana. After applying pressure to accelerator, sputtering stopped. Additionally, there have been numerous times at startup when the central…
