My car is having electrical issues with the honda sensing. Braking on its own at random times at various rates of speed. The most serious on the highway at speed of about 75 MPH. The car shut down and the computer systems had all kinds of codes of system failures. Also now we are having an issue of oil dilution due to gasoline. My oil was changed a few days later still over the full line and fumes of gas evident. Talking with honda dealership currently where purchased and honda corporate case was filed. So far they are down playing it in texas dispite numerous consumer complaints and commonality of issue being reported at the dealership level.

Smell of gasoline in the car,oil level of the vehicle is well above the full mark on the dipstick...each time upon checking oil level there has been an increase..
Gas dilution oil, car smells gas inside, honda don't care about
1. Gasoline leaking in to engine oil. Evident by gasoline smell and high level when checking oil. 2. Poor or no heat in cold weather conditions. This causes a safety risk driving in snowy weather. Windshield will not defrost. Typically happens during stop and go city driving. Service appointment is currently scheduled for 12/6 and issue will be reported to the dealer also.
Oil dilution problem; we have experienced the burning of gas/oil smell in the interior from the purchase date of the car, engine oil smells like gas, oil level high on dip stick, cold in our state, drive car plenty of miles each day at 65-70 miles per hour - should be burning off gas, recent oil change at 15% oil life - oil was high on dip stick past fill mark. Contacted honda. Made complaint. They said our state was not covered in recall because our state is not cold enough. They said we need to take our crv to honda dealership. I have made an appointment with dealership.
Gasoline into my engine, stalled on highway last year..
I can smell gas in my cabin every once in awhile. The fix for this issue was promised by the end of november, yet we have no information yet. I had reported this issue to my dealer in the past, at the time they told me it was nothing. On my last visit they claimed they had spilled some oil during the oil change and that was the smell. They seem to be stalling while they await a fix. They already have a recall issued in china, why not here? -- gas in oil (https://www.cars.com/articles/fix-coming-for-honda-cr-v-oil-fuel-problem-details-still-unclear-1420703180990/)
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 35 MPH and the check engine symbol illuminated. The contact called valley hi honda at (760) 962-9600 (located at 15710 valley park ln, victorville, ca 92394) and was informed to have the vehicle towed to the shop. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer where it diagnosed that the mass air flow was high. The technician added fuel conditioner, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where the technician changed the oil and updated the computer system. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was repaired. The failure mileage was 47,100.
User interface (ui) for radio operates inconsistently. Began having issues within a few weeks of owning the vehicle. Touchscreen repeatedly freezes, goes black, or the volume is unable to be controlled. Frequently the volume will go all the way to the highest level alone or while you are trying to adjust it up/down. The only solution for all of the radio issues are to roll the windows down so you don't lose your hearing and pull the car over, shut the car off, & restart the car. This is startling when the volume goes all the way up and is a major safety concern. You cannot hear what's going on around you & are in a dangerous predicament in trying to get pulled over somewhere safe to restart your car. I began reporting the issue in september 2017 to my dealership and was told the problem was with apple. Now honda states that it is a "known issue" but has provided no solution. I have numerous videos of these occurrences for documentation. Additionally, my engine oil smells of gasoline. The dipstick reads high and the honda dealership has advised me to change the oil every 1,000 miles and to not drive short trips. The engine hesitated once while in traffic. The engine does not heat up at idle and during cold weather you cannot operate your window defroster. This causes safety issues because you can't see out the windows. The only solution is to ride with the windows down when it's cold in order to see. While driving the car down the interstate at approx. 20,000 miles I heard a pop. When I arrived at my destination, I saw that the gear shifter knob popped out. This rendered me unable to shift my car from drive to any other gear. Honda seems to be aware of this issue, as the service tech and advisor both stated that this happens "all the time." dealership replaced knob. Honda made a defective & dangerous product. They refuse to remedy the problems.
My car when 1st time start engine in am ,the whole car shacking abnormal and the gasoline smell some time but I don't know what wrong
I bought this car april of 2017 and I already have a electrical problem after a month. We went for a vacation and as we went back, my car is not starting anymore. I reported this to perfection honda and they told me that my battery is in 100 percent ok. Last thanksgiving (2018) it did the same thing. The biggest one is engine oil smells gas on it. I tried to report this to perfection honda, albuquerque new mexico but reasoned out that there are no recalls for this car. I'm not recommending crv ex and upper models to any consumer same with perfection honda for poor service quality.
Engine oil was 1 quart overfull. Oil smells like gasoline. Engine oil visibly thinner than normal. Reportedly, this problem is systemic with cr-v's as ours with the turbo 4 cylinder. The gasoline should be evaporating due to engine temp; but, it's not -- as a result the gasoline dilutes the engine oil and causes the oil level to rise.
Engine stalled multiple times in last one year when accelerating from yeld/stop. It happed twice while yielding and merging onto highways; we were lucky there were no vehicles on highway during merging, otherwise situation would have the worst . Also all warning lights on the dash board flashes with failure warnings. At that point engine almost stalled running only at speed of 10 m/h atleast which helped me to pull off the highway. I switched off and on, engine came live, but all the warning lights were still there. Warnings on the dashboard were cleared only next day after whole night idle. I took the vehicle to honda dealer, explained the problem and also provided them the video that my friend sitting in the passenger seat recorded while incident happened. Dealership tried to pull the error code, but none were found. Dealer asked me to keep the vehicle with dealership as they need to reproduce the issue. Fortunately they reproduced the exact same issue, and found the engine cylinder misfires in 1 and 4. They intimated honda engineering for assistance, and honda assisted them to recalibrate the system without finding the root cause. Dealership recalibrated and directed by honda and told me that if the issue happens again that will be fixed under warranty. All these transcripts were recorded in service history of my vehicle. The same issue appeared yesterday again. When I researched about the issue on internet, most of them complained about the enginle oil and gas mixup. I checked my oil level with oil check stick provided by honda, and oil levels are way above than max mark and oil smells like gasoline; and more over the oil look very thin almost like water thickness.
My 2017 honda crv ex 1.5 ltr turbo engine has an oil delution issue fuel is getting into the crankcase deluting the oil took it to the dealer all they did was change the oil I contacted honda got a case number#09145359 they said someone would call me about the issue. No one has called at this time nov 26th 2018
My 1.5l turbo charged engine has a strong gasoline odor in the engine oil. So gasoline is mixing with my engine oil and may cause early engine failure or a safety issue. I noticed the gasoline smell when changing my engine oil and the car is parked.
Since purchasing my honda cr-v 1.5 turbo in 2017 I have experienced two episodes of my car stalling out while driving on nyc streets. On both of these occasions I narrowly avoided getting rear ended and being forced into the car in front of me, due to the fact that the car behind me swerved to avoid colliding into me. I have also experienced many failures of my honda sense system whereby my adaptive cruise control system failed, my road departure mitigation system failed, where my audio power went off, my auto high beam system had failures, which lead me to feel very uneasy driving my vehicle. At all times, my vehicle was in motion. I have experienced these system failures while driving on city streets as well as while driving on country roads and also while driving on highways! This was not a one time occurrence. These things have happened many times!
I noticed a gas smell in my cabin of the car and checked the oil and noticed a gas smell there too. I looked it up online and there are a number of complaints of this issue but no recalls from honda. I am trying to get an appointment, but it's been difficult.
Fuel is mixing in oil. The oil dipstick smells like gas and there is a gasoline smell in the cabin when the heat is on. Honda calls it abnormal oil dilution. Took it to the dealer he put documentation of oil smell on dipstick on receipt but said honda has no fix for this in kansas. Called honda of america customer service referred to claim management team who said no fix for this in kansas and he "doesn't think it will hurt the engine" even immediatly after oil change the dipstick still smelled like gas even after wiping it. I believe that oil dilution can cause wear damage to an engine. I drive my crv 3 miles to work.
Vehicle has gasoline that gets into the oil, raising the level when the oil is checked. There is a very strong odor of gas when you check the oil. The car will be running at highway speed and all the dash lights flash and engine loses power and you have to cruise to the side of the highway. Lights then go off and engine runs fine, but there is still a strong odor of gasoline under the hood and especially in the oil. We are afraid of a possible fire, engine damage, or losing power and control (power steering, power brakes, etc.), possible causing an accident.
An alarming amount of gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. Also the car produces little heat when the heater is on.
Engine oil being diluted by gasoline contamination, overfilling the crankcase. Liquid level is above the maximum level permitted on the dipstick. Known problem with 2017-2018 honda cr-vs. Safety issue because it can cause stalling while driving, though I have not experienced that yet. Vehicle was stationary when discovered.
I smell gas in my cabin and found gas in my engine oil which was overfilled. I feel dizzy and had headache due to that smell.
Oil dilution. When checking the level of my oil, it is way overfull on the dipstick. I took it to the dealer ( roush honda - medina ), and was informed that yes, the oil level is high, and they confirmed oil dilution where the oil is diluted with gasoline. They informed me that it is normal and does not pose a problem. I do not believe them, I have read of instances where peoples cr-v's have stalled out, and of premature engine wear. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. Gasoline in the oil can not be right.
Gasoline is getting into the oil, raising the oil level and causing the oil to smell of gasoline and lose its effectiveness. I am concerned about the gas getting where it doesn't belong and causing a safety issue. This is after 5 days of use after I purchased the vehicle and the oil was changed by the dealer before I bought it.
Fuel is getting in engine oil and deluting it. 1.5 turbo engine. Call honda of america they said to take to dealer for inspection. Honda gave me a case number. Dealer change oil told to keep a watch on it. Called honda back with case number they said honda has no fix at this time. I was told just to watch for something on the internet to see if there was going to be a fix. Meanwhile my engine in being damaged by not having proper oil lubercation from fuel being in oil
Gas is mixing with the oil causing an overfill situation in the engine oil. It is also causing the oil to be diluted and may be causing premature engine wear. You can check the oil and the dipstick clearly shows an over fill situation and you can smell gas on the dipstick.
There is gas in my oil. I have not had any issues yet, but I fear for my safety and know that this is damaging my vehicle.
I found a gas smell in the oil for my 2017 honda cr v. The dealer said nothing about the issue on my last oil change. I took the car to damson honda on 10/182018. They verified that gas was in the oil with an .19 mm additional volume. This is unacceptable and dangerous
I occasionally noticed the smell of gasoline around the car. When I checked the oil level it was about 1/4 in. Above the full mark on the dipstick. I took the car to the dealer (scott honda of west chester) where they confirmed the high oil level and noted the smell of gasoline in the oil. I was told this is a known problem with the turbo engine but honda did not have a fix available. The dealer called honda america and was authorized to change the oil under warranty.
Crankcase is filling with gasoline from the cylinders causing a high level on the oil dipstick (approx.1/2 inch above the high mark) also known as oil dilution.oil had no viscosity when I changed it and it reaked of gasoline.two different honda dealers and american honda customer service all acknowledged that there aware of the issue but they haven't come up with a remedy yet.meanwhile my vehicles engine and I am sure thousands more are being prematurely abused and worn because of gasoline (solvent) in the oil.honda needs to make this right and soon!
