Car is burning oil very quickly, no apparent leaks. Bad noise coming from front end when going up and down hills caused me to investigate this problem with mechanic. Notice many complaint on the internet regarding this problem with the Honda CRV 2016.
2016 Honda CR-V engine complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Honda CRV E-XL bought in 2016 from Coral Springs Honda, FL and always maintained at Honda Dealership died on freeway on 08/06/2021 in approximately 5 years. When towed in nearest Firestone they routed to Honda as they suspect the coolant has breached into 4 cylinders. Honda Dealership (First Texas Honda Austin ) is quoting around $10000 for a new engine replacement for 3 - 4 grand for an older engine of similar miles. My question is does Honda engines typically dies at 50k mile marks. I trusted Honda to last for 200k plus. Does Honda need to instrospect the engines manufactured for 2016 CRVs. What went wrong to this engine does it requires Honda to recall 2016 Honda CRV as I would have met an accident due to my car dying all of sudden on a freeway. The car started giving fumes from AC vent and all the warning light flashed on the dashboard. Please please help me getting my car fixed as I cannot afford that much of money. Honda Case Number: 12418365.

Vehicle stalls when driving, power steering, tire pressure, and check engine light all come on, but when mechanic checks there’s no codes popping up. Then vehicle stalls again.
Started the car in the parking lot. The engine was idling a bit rough. Put the car in drive. Suddenly the engine roared and accelerated. Tried to apply the brake. It did not work. Fortunately did not hit any other cars in the parking lot. The car jumped over the curb at the edge of the parking lot, went into a ditch and hit a tree. Came to a stop. The airbag was activated. The engine was still running at high RPM. Fortunately this malfunction happened in a parking lot and not on a busy city road !!!!! This bizarre incident points to potential malfunction of the computer controls. Forensic investigation is needed to rule out this possibility.
Pulled the car out of the parking lot and shifted the gear to drive. Even before I pressed the gas pedal, the engine roared and the car sped out of control. The brake failed. Fortunately was able to avoid other parked cars and the car came to a stop in a ditch at the edge of the parking lot. The car may have traveled about 100 yds before coming to stop. The airbag was deployed and the damage to the front of the car may be extensive. Reporting this failure to the federal safety agency in case there are other similar events happening with the 2016 honda cr-v model.
Engine vibration at idle and engine noise when starting in the cold. When hot, whining noise inside by timing chain area. Sent 5 times for repair at paragon honda and the situation was never fixed and every time sent, they keep the car in the dealer for one week and an extra week in hillside honda. My car has 23,700 miles and have all services done at paragon honda and at hillside honda and the noises continue. I contacted american honda and the situation is never resolved yet they know about the issue.
I smell gasoline while sitting in the cabin driving. My car has sat all night and I'm parked in the driveway with the car running and I smell gasoline. It smells like when there is a small can of gas in the car a lawn mower. Speaking of which, the smell is not unlike the smell you get when you spill gas on your lawnmower and start mowing the lawn. Honda refused to do anything. I was supposed to take the car to a dealership but then they wanted to charge me. I can't afford it. My son read of this problem in honda cr-v forum where they talked about the oil pan being an issue. But the car model was not a 2016 and is is supposed to have a class action lawsuit against them foe this issue but it is coming. I can't live with this smell.
The cabin is filling with engine/fuel fumes. I purchased 11/2016 and began having debilitating headaches, nausea and chest pains off and on in 06/2017. I have incurred a lot of expense going to neurologists, cardiologists, opthamologists to try and diagnose the source of the problems. I was finally told it was migraines. I have never believed this, and think they just settled on that because all of the mri's and ct scans came up clean or inconclusive. And they couldn't come up with anything else. 2 days ago on my way to work I was overcome by a wierd smell and suddenly felt very ill. I made it to work and started looking for any other reports of problems. Its been years of misery that had a sudden onset and drastically affected my quality of life. I can't fly or go for a long care ride because of the headaches.
The engine started making a knocking sound in q1 of 2020. A tech stated that the sound happens because of the low oil level in the engine. I had noticed the knocking sound especially when driving up or down at an angle and also on turns. The dealership performed several oil consumption tests and the knocking persisted. In q3 of 2020, the dealership replaced the vtec thinking this would be the fix. Then in january 2021, when the oil indicator was at 35%, the knocking began again. The dealership opened up the engine and found that the spark plugs, pistons and piston rings are all fouled, and that oil has seeped into these engine parts. Honda corporate has offered to pay for a portion but not all of the repair cost which is $5400. They have not offered to extend the warranty to 8 years and 125,000 miles which is what was provided to cars in the offer for 2010-2011 crvs and 2011 accords were given by honda according to a may 15, 2015 article for this same defect. Class action lawsuit - similarly a class-action lawsuit concerning this same defect was settled in 2013 covering several honda models. Plaintiffs were [xxx] and [xxx] with u.s district judge [xxx] in san francisco. Honda agreed in the settlement to extend the powertrain limited warranty for up to 8 years. From; [xxx] in dallas, texas [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda cr-v. The contact stated that there was an abnormal engine oil odor in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the honda of milford located at 767 bridgeport ave, milford, ct 06460, where the technician was unable to provide a cause for the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
The AC system has suddenly stopped working. Going into the hot summer months the AC system occasionally blows cold air but quickly switches to hot air when driving for extended periods (over 10 minutes). This is not only a huge inconvenience in 80+ degree weather, but also a safety concern with excessive heat circulating in the car in the hot summer months. I have tried to remedy the problem by checking freon compressor and condenser but nothing gives. This seems to be a major issue on 2016 manufacturing for civics and crv's.
I purchased a honda crv in september 2016.the transmission /gearbox has repeatedly failed. 1. I drived my crv at 8/18/2018,it was the case at that time, the transmission suddenly jumped to the "n-gear" position during forward movement, and then the car suddenly stopped due to inertia during the forward process , and then the oil pan cracked. So I I told this to the person who picked up the car in diamond honda， but the person who picked up the car at that time said that it was impossible for the gearbox to suddenly jump into gear. So I have to pay the repair fee $469.89. 2.the engine fault code p0741 at 5/23/2020, I have been to diamond honda for repair 5/23/2020. The engine is lighting up.only drived 20000 mile, why lighting up? Diamond honda confirmed the transmission hasdefected. So they changed aremanufactured transmission to me at 6/2/2020. A remanufactured or refurbished product is one which is not new but has been tested, often repackaged and sold with a "remanufactured" or "refurbished" label. A remanufactured or refurbished product may not look new, but it will show only limited wear and it should perform as new. These devices might have been opened and returned, or they could be demo models, trade-ins or items returned at the end of a lease period. 3. I picked up my crv on 6/2/2020. But it did not repair and could not work sincediamond honda changed aremanufacturedtransmission, not a newtransmission.when I drive, I can't accelerate smoothly, and every time I need to increase the throttle for a long time to speed up. And when driving, there will be a serious sense of frustration, the body will involuntarily lean forward and backward with the speed of the vehicle. 1.I request to change a new entire transmission 2. Refund the repair fee $469.89 to me. 3.I request to extend the engine warranty to 6 years.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed however, the RPM revved up and the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact turned off and then restarted to the vehicle and drove to his destination. The contact stated that the failure was experienced twice. The vehicle was taken to tony honda hilo (124 wiwoole st, hilo, hi 96720, (808) 961-5505), however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,500.
Engine oil level increased by 1/8 in on only 20% oil life used (approx 2200 miles used). The dipstick smells as if fuel is in the oil. Engine components increasingly are getting louder-- the rattle of the cams atop the engine. Oil used was synthetic mobil one + new wik filter. The car had the pcv valve replaced, by owner, on a maintenance recommendation at 30,000 mi. Car has 57,879 mi. Car will be investigated by dealer on may 19. Car still under full power train guarantee.
Performed normal and regular maintenance, oil use light is at 30 percent, 120k miles, when coming to a hard stop check oil light comes on. Checked oil level, low, smell of fuel on dip stick.
I own a 2016 honda cr v with the 2.4l earth dreams engine.. I took a long trip and do some city driving however checked the oil level after about 500 miles of mixed ciry and highway and the oil level was way over the full mark and smells like gasoline. The car has 83,500 miles on it and this is quite concerning to me...
I consistently experience severe vibration felt in both front seats when the car idles. This occurs when the RPM is about 750 or less. It occurs any time I come to a stop at a traffic light or stop sign.
Tl* the contact called on behalf of his wife who owns a 2016 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while stopped with the brake pedal depressed, with the vehicle idling, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The contact stated that the issue was evident since the vehicle was first purchased. The vehicle was taken to culver city honda located at 9055 w washington blvd, culver city, ca 90232, where it was determined that the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.
As other owners have reported, when the car is in drive, idli ng (at stops), the whole body/engine/transmission are vibrating really hard. Symptoms identical to technical service bulletin (tsb) 15-046, driving mode 1: the vehicle is stopped, but in gear.
When the gear is in driving mode, d, my vehicle starts vibrating so much that all passengers can feel it. According to honda, it is a well known problem to 2015 crv (http://owners.honda.com/vehicle-information/cr-v-2015-vibration-settlement.html). However, it doesn't seem that they fixed the problem in 2016 crv. According to honda, my problem is very obvious at driving mode 1, which means that vibrations may be present when stopped with vehicle in gear, for example at a stop light. The problem has been there for a long time, and it comes more serious nowadays.
Excessive vibration at idle when the car is in drive and car gets to around 600 rpms after vehicle is warm. You can increase idle speed and vibration is not felt. Very annoying for a relatively new vehicle. Don't agree this should be a normal idle vibration condition. First noticed this condition in january 2019 and asked dealer to check out this issue. At the time my car had 30,377 miles. Since then this issue is worse. Honda should have a fix for this issue.
Seats have severe vibration at idle. Most pronounced after warming up, or, highway drive. (that's why test drives don't show it!). Also, door armrests vibrate. Most intolerable; makes one nauseated. Also, gas mixed in with oil! Gas fume smells noted in cabin while driving.
On multiple occasions for the past year, this car has stalled when you press the gas pedal. You press the gas, the car "chugs," and either slows down and has to catch up to itself, or it completely shuts off. It happens pulling out of the driveway, at stop signs, and intersections. We've brought the car to the dealership multiple times, and they can't find the problem. It even stalled on their tech once, but they still couldn't fix it. They suggested replacing the battery, so we did, and nothing changed. This is incredibly dangerous, and nobody at the dealership or the corporate office did anything to address the issue. I believe this car should be recalled and off the road immediately.
Car engine **under warranty** is burning excessive oil which can eventually lead to catastrophic engine failure. [warranty: 5 yr/60k miles; have owned just over 3 yrs w/ 38k miles] 1) having worked on my own cars 30+ years I noted it was burning far too much oil between changes. Took car to dealer for 'engine oil consumption test' 6/29/19; dealer denied car had burned any oil despite stick showing engine had in fact burned oil during duration of test. 2) sent email to honda reporting this issue ('honda automobile customer service case # 09925699 dated 10/3/19'). Honda replied that I should talk to the very same service manager who denied the engine was burning any oil let alone excessive oil; in the alternative they suggested going to 'another certified honda dealership'. Since the issue has not been repaired the defect & internal damage is ongoing. I am concerned that driving the car without appropriate repair is dangerous. A simple 'google search' reveals mine is not the only vehicle in this model year with this issue. I note that for prior model years honda has acknowledged this defect & at least extended the warranty or effected repairs. (see honda service bulletin 12-089) consumer reports says 'it's normal for cars to burn a little oil as they age toward 100,000 miles and beyond. But consumer reports believes that for an almost new car to burn that excessive amount of oil is unacceptable.' ('excessive oil consumption isn't normal: automakers say adding oil between scheduled changes is acceptable. It's not.' consumer reports 6/30/15 https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/06/excessive-oil-consumption/index.htm)
