The car was not in motion. It is winter in michigan. When checking the oil dipstick the level of oil on the stick was high and smelled strongly of gasoline. Having heard often of this issue with the 2017 turbo crv, i now understand it to be that gasoline is leaking into my oil and could cause stalling while driving. I hope that honda will address this issue soon and recall its us crv's for repair quickly.

While driving my '17 honda cr-v ex, it suddenly sputtered, started losing power & wouldn't let me accelerate over 10mph. Malfunction indicator started blinking. I was in 4 lanes of traffic with no place to pull over. I put flashers on & cars drove around me. I got to a side st & the manual said if indicator is blinking, it's a misfire in engine's cylinders & to wait for engine to cool down. I sat for 40 mins & made…

My car is having electrical issues with the honda sensing. Braking on its own at random times at various rates of speed. The most serious on the highway at speed of about 75 mph. The car shut down and the computer systems had all kinds of codes of system failures. Also now we are having an issue of oil dilution due to gasoline. My oil was changed a few days later still over the full line and fumes of gas evident.…

I smell gasoline in the cabin while driving. I'm really concerned because i have my 2 year-old son in the car with me most of the time. That's going to cause some health issues. The oil level shown on the dip stick is always high and has heavily gas smell when dip stick is pulled out of engine.

Gasoline enters engine oil causing it overfills and far exceeding the max mark. Engine oil also has a strong smell of gasoline. It may cause long term damage to the engine with engine oil diluted.

Ist oil/filter change by dealer at 4k miles all appeared to be normal. 2nd oil/filter change by dealer at 8k miles oil level was excessively high over dipstick max fill mark by 1/2 inch and oil dipstick had intense gasoline smell and oil viscosity was extremely low. Dealer says honda is investigating an 'oil dilution' issue with this engine type.

My 2017 cr-v ex-l has the oil dilution issue. Currently reading 1.5 inches higher than the max fill line on the dipstick. Vehicle smells so bad...like sulfur smell or gas. It is an overpowering smell and makes me nauseous. This can occur after idling for a few minutes, or after driving on a highway for 30 minutes. It is not just a short driving distance issue. Honda has known about this issue for years, and yet…

User interface (ui) for radio operates inconsistently. Began having issues within a few weeks of owning the vehicle. Touchscreen repeatedly freezes, goes black, or the volume is unable to be controlled. Frequently the volume will go all the way to the highest level alone or while you are trying to adjust it up/down. The only solution for all of the radio issues are to roll the windows down so you don't lose your…

Engine oil being diluted by gasoline contamination, overfilling the crankcase. Liquid level is above the maximum level permitted on the dipstick. Known problem with 2017-2018 honda cr-vs. Safety issue because it can cause stalling while driving, though i have not experienced that yet. Vehicle was stationary when discovered.

Gasoline is getting into the oil, raising the oil level and causing the oil to smell of gasoline and lose its effectiveness. I am concerned about the gas getting where it doesn't belong and causing a safety issue. This is after 5 days of use after i purchased the vehicle and the oil was changed by the dealer before i bought it.

Gas is mixing with the oil causing an overfill situation in the engine oil. It is also causing the oil to be diluted and may be causing premature engine wear. You can check the oil and the dipstick clearly shows an over fill situation and you can smell gas on the dipstick.

I discovered fuel in the oil of my 2017 turbo honda cr v when checking the oil level. I have approximately 2500 miles since my last oil change. I took the car to beaverton honda on 11/16/2018 to check it out. They "verified customer's concerns of fuel in engine oil." they also "adjusted oil level" and then referred me to a honda video on youtube. It would appear that they simply removed good oil to make room for…
