The car began to run rough when i was returning from a long trip. When i turned the car off, then back on, every alarm was going off. I had it towed to the dealership and was told that the garage that had changed my oil put the wrong oil in. This was a lie on the dealerships part as they had no evidence to prove their assertion. I believe i have one of those crvs with the engine problems that people are talking…

Fuel is mixing with the engine oil causing the oil level to become high and the oil diluted. On short cold trips, the cab smells of gasoline. I had the oil changed by the dealer and not even 300 miles later, the oil level is high again and the oil smells of gasoline. Additionally, my cr-v does not heat up properly. When started cold, the temperature gauge on the dash never comes off of cold, no matter how long it…

Purchased a new 2018 honda cr-v ex in florida 4/18. Worked fine until a recent trip to indiana where it was subjected to cold temperatures. The vehicle would not heat for 10 minutes and it's performance seemed to suffer compared to how it was operating in warmer florida. The worst part was the faint smell of gasoline in the car the entire time in indiana. Wasn't sure what would have caused that until i returned to…

Bought 2018 honda cr-v exl only 2 weeks ago. It has 500 miles on it. I noticed a strong smell of gasoline coming from the engine. I found that the oil is over full and very diluted with gasoline. I worry this is a safety issue if the engine gets hot will the gas ignite. Is this going to cause excessive wear on the engine due to lack of lubrication? Honda needs to fix this issue. People are paying hard earned money…

I intend to speak with the dealership owner and ask if i might come once each week and add gasoline to his oil over the next…

My 2018 cr-v suffers from the dreaded [oil dilution issue] where gasoline gets into the oil raising the level above the full mark. The result is a strong gasoline smell, sometimes in the cabin but always when you pull the dipstick to check the oil. The oil level is always considerably higher than the full mark. I presented this issue to my dealer, and they confirmed the smell of gas in the oil, the high level and…

Have been reading about this issue at numerous sites and took it to dealer today who verified that the oil level has risen above the max mark on the dipstick and it does smell of gasoline. I have had no operational issues thus far but know this is not good for internal engine parts. I have approx. 4200 miles on the…
