I bought car used from gm dealership 3/16/19, wasn't aware of problem until first scheduled oil change.gas mixing in with oil causing oil level to rise significantly over short period of time, about a quart high with around 2,000 miles driven,mostly highway. Honda service had me bring in vehicle after oil change to check level, then again after 1,000 miles to recheck. Brought in in after about 1700 miles and oil was up about a quart according to service manager. Honda dealer performed software "fix" to alleviate problem, but after 1,500 miles, oil level up significantly again. Dealer contends honda doesn't have protocols in place to take care of issue yet. Car in honda dealership today again for assessment, third oil change in 2 months. Difficult to evaluate cars performance since I bought used and never had normal baseline to compare to.

I asked about the software 'fix' I had read about being performed and dealer said they could not make the update to my car since it wasnot showing any diagnostic trouble codes at this point.
