To my knowledge, oil level was only slightly elevated. Nothing was done to remedy…

Since purchasing the car two years ago, the oil level has increased and smells of gasoline, and the cabin has also on occasion smelled of gasoline. I complained to the dealership within the first week of owning the car, to no avail. I have complained each time i've brought it in for servicing, to no avail. I complained to the general manager of the dealership, who said he'd never heard of such a problem, when i had…

The oil in my engine is being diluted with gasoline. The dipstick never goes below full and the oil is thin and dirty. This is just 1 month after an oil change. Occasionally the gas fumes enter the passenger compartment and make driving the car unpleasant. Honda dealer says there is no problem. This is an ongoing problem. Date below is the last time gas fumes were inside the passenger compartment.

My car was in motion i was making a right turn into the highway when my car just stopped. I turned it off, when i tried to turn it back on, it didn't. I started to smell something burning. So i just left it alone. Only the lights on the dashboard and the radio turned on, i was able to control the windows. The warning lights that came up were the electronic power steering, charging system, and the check engine lights.

During oil changes, more oil was coming out than was being put in. Oil clearly smells like fuel. When i brought this to honda's attention in early april, i was told to go to a certified honda dealership to get a diagnosis. During the diagnosis done on 4/17/2019, they performed an oil change at 80% oil life which indicated that oil levels were elevated by approximately 1/4th of a quart. I can only imagine how diluted…

I went for an oil change and the place said that the oil smelled like fuel, was very thin. In consumer reports there was a blurb about the honda cr-vs with the 1.5 turbo engine experiencing the mixing of gas in the oil but mainly in the colder, northern states. So, when the oil change people said the oil smelled like gas, i then drove to a honda dealer and they checked it out, but said they didn't see gas in the…

Engine idling rough (especially during first start after sitting overnight), oil level rising in car, when you check the oil it smells like gas, fuel smell in cabin periodically, engine hesitating/stalling while trying to accelerate. Have visited dealership twice within 30 days for this problem with no…

I believe my vehicle is part of the honda 1.5l oil-fuel problem first noticed back in late 2017. I did not think much about it until i talked with two other co-workers who also have 2017 honda cr-vs. First, my engine performance slowly drops after each oil change, then picks back up again once i have gotten an oil change. Second, this was my first winter with my cr-v and i noticed that it has a very hard time…

The level of the fluid on the oil dipstick will increase after an oil change. And upon removing it smells of gasoline. 2000 miles after an oil change the level on the dipstick will read 1/2' higher than normal. Which tells me gas is somehow entering the crankcase and diluting the oil.

It is the end of march 2019. The oil level in the 1.5t engine keeps going up. The dip stick has strong gasoline odor. Service bulletin 18-147 has been applied to the to the car in early january of 2019 and is not helping with the oil dilution. Why is service bulletin 18-147 not considered a recall since it is mandatory for those who received the notice? Why is the nhtsa not investigating a vehicle that has 500-1000%…

Engine was making a fluttery sound. Noticed fuel in oil, found cams were binding and timing chain was stretched and loose. They replaced cylinder head and timing chain. Learned online this is a known result of oil diluted by fuel, and there is a fix but only for cars registered in certain states, not my state. Complained to american honda, case #09409822. Was told oil dilution is normal, car should not be driven…

I recently bough a used 2017 honda cr-v. It had only 29,000 miles with a fresh oil change before purchase. I have put over 1,000 miles on it since purchase. I recently was informed of oil dilution problems with the 1.5l turbo and decided to confirm if my vehicle was affected. I checked the oil from the engine after letting it cool and my oil level was above the max level. Also, there is a strong smell of gasoline…
