I smell gasoline and checked the oil on several occasion. The gas fumes came from the oil check, gas in oil. I brought to covington la honda dealer today 11-29-2018 and the advised me that it is working as designed, and no problem was found at this time. I am concerned for safety reasons, fire and car stalling, as well as the fact that there is a recall on this but not in my area.

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…

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…

Engine oil was 1 quart overfull. Oil smells like gasoline. Engine oil visibly thinner than normal. Reportedly, this problem is systemic with cr-v's as ours with the turbo 4 cylinder. The gasoline should be evaporating due to engine temp; but, it's not -- as a result the gasoline dilutes the engine oil and causes the oil level to rise.

I have been noticing a fuel smell in the passenger cabin. It seems to be a major issue. I have been told from the dealer to change the oil and let the car warm up longer. That's the fix. Come on honda. This is ridiculous. You nhtsa need to make sure honda is held totally responsible.

Vehicle loses power under acceleration. Oil dilution seems to be the aparent cause. Oil level is way above the 'max' level in the oil dipstick. Strong gas smell in the cabin. Problem is widespread among owners of this vehicle (1.5 turbo engine). Honda says 'it's normal', but then promises that 'problem is going to be fixed in next year model'.
