Gas gets in the oil, gas fumes go into the car itself and make us dizzy while driving (not safe). Car sputters (not safe) and heater does not get warm enough to keep the windshield clear in cold weather reducing viability and creating a safety issue. It takes 15 minutes of driving for car to warm up, i don't know how to see out of the windshield for the first 15 minutes. I'm aware this is a known issue with my…

On 10/16/2019, dealer replaced all of the fuel injectors, because they failed honda's tests. Picked up the vehicle on the evening of 10/16/2019 and drove it home. Started driving it to work on 10/17/2019 and while accelerating on the interestate, the engine started misfiring (violent thuds) and the check engine light started flashing repeatedly. I lost power and was able to make it to the side of the road. As soon…

Took vehicle to honda dealer on 10/14/2019. Determined it was a misfire of the fuel injectors and they needed to be replaced.

Engine oil level on dipstick way above what it should be and there is a strong gasoline smell in the engine oil. The honda maintenance minder says 70% engine oil life is left. Also the seat heaters don't seem to work. Based on what i read online this seems to be somehow linked with the engine oil dilution issue

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.

Ran premium gas only and changed oil twice as often as recommended but recently (4/2019) checked oil and it read way above full, looked almost clear after 1500 miles, and smelled strongly of gas again. I noticed the car was accelerating slower and slower than when new. Read up on gas in oil problems with this car and saw that honda offered no fix for cars in the state where i live and dealerships apparently deny…

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…

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…

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…

While driving on a major highway with busy traffic enroute to the honda dealership my 2017 honda crv experienced a significant drop in power dropping from 65mph speed limit to 20mph. I had semi trailers behind me and it was a very dangerous situation. I had to drive a couple of miles to find a place i could pull over onto the shoulder out of traffic. Losing power like this puts lives at risk. Honda should provide a…
