The engine oil level on the dipstick was very high during a recent random oil check. There was a gasoline odor on the dipstick. I have informed the local dealer who sold the car (howdy honda in austin, texas), and had them perform an oil change. The dealer recommended to keep an eye on it. Also, i notified honda usa by email. They sent an automated reply with a case number, but made no other attempt at contact.

Fuel is leaking down into the oil pan raising the oil levels on the dip stick as mileage increases, which will result in premature potential engine failure. This is also going to hurt the resale value of the vehicle. For example, 2k miles after last oil change, oil levels have increased to a quarter inch above recommended "full level" displayed on the dipstick.

Went to local honda dealer for regular oil change maintenance. After completing, noticed car seemed to be stalling and slow/non response in accelerating. By the time i got home about 7 miles away, all warning lights came up and car would not accelerate and go more than 5 mp/h. Very fortunately this happen near my home where traffic is light. Would have been very dangerous if it had occurred on highway

Engine oil has a flashpoint of 215 degrees and 8.5% fuel to oil ratio as measured by an independent laboratory, blackstone laboratories. Two tests have been performed and show dangerously low flashpoint levels and out of spec viscosity. The flashpoint is within the operating range of the engine. I am afraid of what could happen. Dealership will not fix the problem and they can only change the oil at the prescribed…

Received a notice from honda about a recall to update software and change a/c module to prevent mil from coming on. Went to dealer and had service completed and was told they had to change the engine oil per honda due to possible contamination from the service action. But i would have to pay for the filter. Twelve dollars is not a huge amount, but there is no way the oil would be contaminated by this service action.…

Very strong odor of gasoline on oil dipstick when checking level of oil. Oil is overfilled according to dipstick where it is well above the fill marking even thought dealer filled oil to specification previously. Obviously gasoline is diluting oil. Very concerned this is a safety issue in the long term. Dealer denies there is an issue and is unwilling to repair notwithstanding the car has a tsb in several us states…

The heat in the car dose not work when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be driving continuously to have the temperature gauge move. Once the gauge is 1/2 way up and i turn on the heat, the gauge drops all the way down. No warm air comes out, also effecting the defroster. If i have ice or fog on my windows the defroster can't keep up severely impairing my vision, not…

January 20 2019 car was completely dead. Took to dealership january 21. They replaced the battery, a/c unit, did a program update, changed the oil and drain plug. Told us it was fixed. However, the car immediately gave me problems --more than before. I was actually trapped in my car and couldn't open the doors 3 times. While driving the car, the safety system continuously alerts blindspot activity, the message "some…

On multiple occasions, while getting an oil change on my 2017 honda crv, the maintenance tech told me that my oil smelled very much like gasoline. Gasoline must be leaking into oil somewhere in engine. This can be a safety and maintenance issue.
