    I have observed high oil levels and raw fuel odors on the dip stck, along with raw fuel odors in the cabin. I know honda is aware of the issue but has offered no guidance. Tell they have a fix in place, honda should be giving free oil changes to prevent engine damage and premature wear and tear.
