Fuel is making it's way into the oil system. Everytime I check the oil I can clearly smell gasoline on the dipstick. I know that honda has recalled 350,000 crvs in china for the same issue with the same 1.5 turbo engines however, when I tell the dealership or honda representatives about it they act as if it is an isolated incident. This will eventually cause premature wear on the engine and potentially become a safety concern if the engine were to stall at high speeds.

We are experiencing the same fuel dilution in the engine oil that many other owners with 2017-18 cr-vs with the 1.5t engine are experiencing. We live in va. I feel as though I don't need to go into details as this issue is so well known, prompted a ban on sales of the vehicle in china, etc. They keep pushing back the recall and now announced for the first two months, it will only be available in select northern states. A simple search through complaints shows that this problem is not isolated to the northern states, it may be exacerbated by significantly cold weather, but the way they are rolling out a recall is not acceptable. It's unsafe (causes stalling vehicles on the highway and in traffic, which is most definitely a safety concern) and causes premature wear on the engine (a consumer protection issue). The federal safety agency needs to step up and accelerate enforcement action, e.g. Make them accelerate the recall to all of their customers, not just just arbitrary classification and order based on whether or not you live on one side of a state line or the other. It gets cold in va too. The honda dealer basically told us we're out of luck until the recall, and to keep changing the oil.

2017 honda crv with 1.5 l turbo 4 cylinder engine. Health hazard: noted gasoline fumes in cabin after starting the car. The fumes are coming in through the ventilation system. Happening in both cold and hot weather. Car has 30k miles on it. Fumes noticed when car is stationary after starting it. Also found to have gas entering oil pan, diluting the oil, and causing high oil levels. Similar reports from many other owners of this vehicle with this engine and apparently a major recall in china for the problem. Am concerned about hydrocarbon levels in the passenger cabin which can be a major health hazard. Just because the fumes dissipate after a minute or so does not necessarily mean that the hydrocarbon levels in the cabin are normal for the rest of the ride. Other major concern is premature wear on the engine due to gas mixing with oil. Another concern is reports of crvs with this problem stalling at high speeds and failing to accelerate properly. Honda USA has not addressed the problem as of this date nor have they offered any solutions. I feel like I wasted over $30k on a vehicle that is now unsafe and destined to premature engine failure. I think there needs to be a recall to fix this problem.

Dear: the federal safety agency I purchase a 2017 honda crv-ex with 1.5-liter turbo earth dream engine. During the past 6 months I've been having the following problems with my honda crv-ex. Gas smell in the passenger compartment, the oil smell like gas, rising oil levels, car making horrible noises, stalling, loss of power and the heaters doesn't work at all in cold weather. I first notice these problems 6 months ago. A friend of mine who previously worked at honda says that the problem of fuel mixing with oil stems from one or two causes: improperly designed fuel injectors that spray fuel directly onto the cylinder walls or the engine not heating up enough to vaporize gasoline left over in an engine cylinder. Either could cause fuel to mix with the oil, diluting it and making it less effective at protecting an engine's moving parts and over time could seriously damage the engine. My biggest concern is premature engine failure due to the lubrication fuel & oil dilution. Honda corporation had knowledge of the turbo engine defects that cause fuel to enter the engine oil, damaging the bearings, engine permanently and did absolutely nothing. I do not believe this is ethical at all for honda corp. To continue to sell 2017 & 2018 crv with turbo engine to the consumer knowing the problems could endanger the public safety. It is neither safe nor prudent driving these vehicles. My trust in honda reliability was crushed when I notice after my 2nd oil change the color was black, thin as water and smell like gasoline after only 10,000 miles. Honda corp. Had to recall 130,000 of its popular cr-v SUV models and 294,500 civic cars from china earlier this year. Recently it's been reported honda stopped all sales of crv's in china. Honda acknowledges the problem but has not released any resolution aside from free oil changes. My engine has already incurred premature wear.

I have observed high oil levels and raw fuel odors on the dip stck, along with raw fuel odors in the cabin. I know honda is aware of the issue but has offered no guidance. Tell they have a fix in place, honda should be giving free oil changes to prevent engine damage and premature wear and tear.
