Terrible gas smell inside the vehicle. Very strong gas odor almost enough to give us a headache. We googled gas smell issue for a 2018 crv and read information about checking oil to see if the strong gas smell is coming there. Oil dipstick smelled very strong for gas. Plan to contact honda and the dealer tomorrow to see what can be done.

There is a youtube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvdknrgzgt8 we took it in and the "fix" was a software update, but the oil continues to get diluted with gas. We will be taking it in for the 3rd time for this problem. In wisconsin, if they fail to fix the problem in 4 tries, it becomes a lemon. I don't want it to come to that…
