I'm having two issues with my cr-v 1) engine oil level is showing more than the higher limit because of engine oil dilution. 2) gasoline smell in the cabin. I contacted honda on these issues but they said my vehicle doesn't have any recall notice and there is nothing they can do.

There is a strong gas smell in the cabin and around the car. The smell is most noticeable when idling and after parking. Duration of the trip does not seem to be a factor, nor the street type.

Oil level over full. And strong fuel smell it the oil. My garage smells strongly of gas also. I took it to the dealership in octobet and they said that it was a known problem and a fix was comming soon? Nothing yet? Why would they sell vehicles with knowledge of a serious motor problem?

When the vehicle is in motion at low speeds on inclined roads the engine is in a state where it is stalling over and over again. I have to accelerate harder to prevent the engine from completely stalling out. This is also followed by a smell of gas in the passenger compartment of the car.

This car has suffered from oil dilution with gasoline since it was purchased in august 2018. I have taken it to the dealer who changed the oil at my expense and claimed that increasing oil in the crankcase is normal and should be expected. The oil level increases about 1 quart for every 2000 miles driven and the oil smells like gasoline. This problem happens at all ambient temperatures, and regardless of whether the…

Around 2200 miles, i checked my oil, found it about a half quart high, and smelled strongly of gasoline. Oil is also very dark, nearly black. 1/2 quart extra gasoline in oil sump of 3.7 quarts, means about 12% of the oil was gasoline. This…

I live in a temperate climate and use this vehicle predominantly for short, side street trips while the vehicle is in economy mode (econ button). When used solely in this manor for a period of months, the oil and exhaust have a strong stench of unburned gasoline. The fumes inside the cabin that build up in between vehicle uses can get very strong. So much so that on numerous occasions after getting into the car i…

My 2018 honda crv touring with 1.5l turbo engine had had a problem with the smell of fuel fumes in the interior cabin since the time of purchase. When you turn the air on with the air coming from the outside vent, especially when first starting the car, the smell of gasoline fumes is apparent, which is also a serious health safety concern as inhalation of fumes is definitely bad for your health.

On a city street, after slow acceleration after leaving a stop sign,with no cars in front of me, the collision avoidance system suddenly engaged and hard braked the car. Luckily no one was behind me or i fear i might have been rear-ended!
