We purchased our honda crv ex-l in october of 2017, within 5 months we noticed a strong gasoline small in our cabin. One day i checked the oil level by pulling the dipstick and noticed that the oil level was 1 full inch above the full mark. I also noticed that the oil on the dipstick reeked of gas and was very dark and watery. I immediately did a google search of this issue, knowing that our last oil change was less…

I can smell it outside around my vehicle when i…

When turning on car, i intermittently smell strong odor of fuel inside the car. I brought car to honda dealer (car is less than 6 months old) and dealer stated "they didn't smell or see anything" and they did not take issue seriously and did not run any tests. I do not use "cheap gas" as dealer had suggested, and car was never in a garage any time when strong odor was present.

Gas is mixing in the oil of our new 2017 honda cr-v. The 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather, runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. This triggers engine warning lights and requires frequent oil changes. Engine performance and drivability suffer. This problem is also being reported on social media by other honda cr-v owners who drive in colder climates. We are concerned that it…

Oil volume increases over time. Ok smells like gasoline and turns black. Heater barely works in the winter. Honda has acknowledged the problem and suggested more frequent oil changes due to fuel dilution. However they refuse to pay for the oil changes. I have documentation of the issue from my honda dealer.

Oil crank case is too high due to excess fuel in oil. This causes fuel smell in cabin and stalling of the engine. But more importantly, the engine will suffer from premature engine wear and failure due to lack of lubrication. This is not a cold weather issue as my dilution need happened in the summer and i only do highway driving with long duration. Honda refuses to fix the problem.
