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.

There is certainly an excess amount of gas mixed in engine oil. Only few weeks after oil change, the oil level is already 20 mm above the max line. It's certainly a design flaw and i think honda should be responsible for this mistake and the customers. It's huge safety concern and hope the relevant resources can take action to investigate this issue.

I can smell gas in my cabin every once in awhile. The fix for this issue was promised by the end of november, yet we have no information yet. I had reported this issue to my dealer in the past, at the time they told me it was nothing. On my last visit they claimed they had spilled some oil during the oil change and that was the smell. They seem to be stalling while they await a fix. They already have a recall issued…
