Pushing the gas pedal only aggravated the situation. About a mile later the car stopped/stalled trying to go up a hill. I turned off car, waited 10 min and restarted.

This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle sputtered , did not want to run, and stalled a few times before i wound up at the dealership. I also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. The vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a…

I have read of several…

Gas is entering and raising engine crankcase oil levels. Concerned that software updates made by dealer will solve this issue. Worried about long term engine reliability. Honda should extend engine warranty coverage to protect us down the road.

While performing a straight, slow speed stop at red light in city traffic, in dry weather with no road debris, the brakes feel spongy, like they are not operating at full power, and is unable to stop the vehicle. Pressing harder on the brake petals causes a loud rumbling noise from the braking system that sounds like abs system engaging.

Gas is leaking into the oil system thus overfilling it. I have checked my vehicles oil (less than 500 miles on my car) and the oil line was way passed full. This overfilling can cause premature damage to the engine, which according to experts can cause stalling at random times which poses an immediate threat to the driver and other vehicles on the road. The dealership from which i bought my vehicle did not inform me…

The automatic gear selector has no indicator on it. Additionally, depending on angle driver is sitting, it appears to be in a different gear or position than actual selection. I have had three near misses due to this design. From being in neutral and rolling down hill backwards when i thought i had it in drive, to being in neutral instead of park. After 30 years of driving, this is the first car i've driven that had…

2018 honda crv has oil diluted by gas and causes the crankcase oil to be overfilled. Also smell of raw gas in cabin. Dealer has no fix. I got them to do the software upgrade but no change.
