While driving on 45 MPH road on 2020 feb 18 morning, the vehicle came to sudden stop after I crossed a signal intersection. There were no vehicles in the front or back luckily and I did not get damaged. I took the cr-v to perfection honda in rio rancho, after holding the vehicle for check up for 24 hrs, they did not give a meaningful reason and only given irrelevant answer. I found 380,000 similar honda cr-v have been recalled in china. Below is the website link for the consumer reports article.

2018 Honda CR-V fuel system complaints
Page 16 of 21: complaints 431 to 460 of 608, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While in motion the cr-v continues to bright light oncoming traffic, as well as the steering wheel pull towards oncoming traffic abruptly while the volume of the stereo goes constantly from loud to mute, and the door lock/ unlocks being continual. Vehicle has stalled out on different occasions. There is odor of gasoline while inside the vehicle, usage of fuel drastically increased, noticed our throats hurting/ voice hoarseness/ coughing/ passenger pass out until windows are cracked open (carbon monoxide?). Constant sputtering, no horsepower, can't stay with the flow of traffic on interstate, brakes do not want to work on different occasions, vehicle abruptly slams on the brakes at times saying road departure (clearly we are not departing the roadway). Doors to the back have not allowed the passengers in the back to open them, causing the children to panic in fear of being trapped in the vehicle. The remote start has only worked (2) times in a years time. There has been a buzzing/ humming motor sound coming from the rear axle area after the vehicle has been stationary for over (5) hours. Gasoline has now been noticed in the oil. The dash periodically goes completely black unable to see anything. The automatic lights (dimming/ bright lights) does not work, and has only worked (1) time. A couple of occasions it has smoked, like large clouds of smoke from the exhaust anytime the accelerator was pushed. Fearful of traveling in the cr-v, we do not use after dark, the amount spent on fuel has more than doubled and we do drastically less driving in the cr-v since the increasing fuel usage. At times it feels as if the vehicle is controlled by someone else, it's difficult correcting the steering when it is pulling towards oncoming traffic.
Gas was found in the oil. Noticed at 7,000 miles and at 10,000 mile oil change
I have had numerous problems with my crv, most recently a complete malfunction where car did not go over 10 MPH and dashboard lights all flashing on alert. Honda mechanics told me this was my fault for overfilling my oil tank. Wanted to charge me $2500 for a new catalytic converter. After much negotiating they lowered cost. However I have since seen this is a common problem with this model and should have been recognized as such.
While driving at a slow speed in a parking lot vehicle misfired and all electrical components became nonfunctional. Lost some control of the vehicle. Parked car immediately and car started to rev itself while in park without pushing the pedal. All system alert indicators came on indicating issues with multiple electrical & engine components. Turned car off for a minute. Turned car back on and all indicator lights remained. Called local honda dealership immediately and had towed to dealership. Honda dealership indicated that they noticed misfires as well when testing and car was not performing well. Dealership indicated the following in diagnostic report: "found engine oil to be over filled. Code p0300 randam misfire. There was gas in the fuel - performed oil change and updated the pgm - fi system" after conducting research we found that this is a known issue with honda crv 2018 models, but there is not an official recall. It is a known issue by honda that gas gets in to the oil panel and dilutes the oil with gas. This is both a safety and mechanical issue that needs fixed. This is a safety issue as had our car misfired at higher speed this could have easily caused an accident with the amount of lost control of the vehicle. This will also assuredly effect the life of the vehicles engine as oil is diluted by gas. The dealership was not forthcoming with information regarding this known issue by honda of gas getting into the oil tank and causing stalling and misfires issues just as what happened to us. It was not until we told them we found information on it ourselves did they recognize it. We were informed by the dealership that our particular VIN had already had the update and fix that was suggested by honda for this issue. If that is the case, then it did not remedy our vehicle, and this is still a safety issue honda needs to rectify with its customers.
Hi every time lately at the lights or when I left my car on my driveway or at parking lot a very strong gasoline odor comes most likely from the front/engine. Please advise.
Stalling while I was traveling in traffic. Oil dip stick smells like gasoline is "overfull" on oil mark. *ln vehicle hesitated and stalled because ok had been drained to a lower level once and replaced 2 times. Consumer stated fuel injectors were replaced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. While driving various speeds, the engine misfired and the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The contact also noticed fuel leaking into the engine oil. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer and the cpu assembly was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: case 09652318. The failure mileage was 2,500.
I had the oil changed today and the mechanic said I had gas mixed in with the oil. He said this could cause engine problems and stalling. I am an 80 year old lady, and I don't want to get stranded.
Gas leaks into the engine while I'm driving, which will inevitably engine failure and the car will stall while driving, this poses a risk for motor vehicle collision.. The honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle is aware of this and recommended an oil change. 48 hours later my oil is completely diluted with gasoline again. There is a strong gas odor in the cabin of my car which is a health hazard to myself and my 2 small children, one with asthma. I've contacted honda of america several times regarding this issue with no solution.
Afraid this car will catch on fire! Engine oil is getting diluted with fuel due to the turbo engines on the 2017 -2018 honda crvs. I notified stevenson hendrick honda in december 2018 of a fuel smell in cabin of car while driving and an mil (malfunction error came up & all safety features were disabled until I cut car off at next stop and restarted. Dealership checked the car on 12/24/18 and said nothing was wrong. Contacted dealership again due to fuel smell in cabin & we had checked oil & the dipstick reaked of fuel & was way over the high mark. Took car on 8/10/19 and I made service manager tony check oil in front of me to verify fuel was in it. They said they changed computer module and did some updates to fix & told me to bring it back on 8/1/717 at 8;00 for install of spark plugs they ordered. Drove 40 miles back home and fuel was already in the oil again! Called dealership back to let them know I want the oil/oil filter changed again on 8/17/19 when they do spark plugs and that we will continue to check oil in car. I contacted honda as well & spoke to "cat". She wasn't helpful at all and refused to tell me why the software update notice they sent didn't say anything about fuel dilution in the oil. It only referred to error codes & whirling noise in engine. The dealership said this problem has only been happening in "cold weather regions" and that I am the first they have heard of. I told them that if people don't check their oil or if the dealership doesn't tell the consumer when they change their oil that they wouldn't know they had a problem since it has not been disclosed to the consumers.this car scares me me & I'm afraid my engine will catch on fire from this issue!
Car purchased new from west hills honda, bremerton wa, in december 2017. Equipped with 1.5 liter engine. Gasoline is getting into the engine oil; high oil levels in crankcase. Gasoline fumes. Stationary and in motion; car is driven daily.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. The contact suspected that fuel and oil were in the oil tank, leaking past the cylinders and entering the oil tank. The vehicle was taken to lithia honda (4095 crater lake hwy, medford, or 97504, (541) 930-3021) where an oil dilution for the fuel odor was performed, but no failure was found. The contact stated that the dipstick showed that the oil was above the full mark. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to call the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 10,864. *bf
According to blackstone labs.oil analysis using oil from the first oil change at 5k miles on 1/2019 oil contaminated with gas from direct fuel injection system problem. Driveability problem due to sticking acceleration pedal. This hesitation has almost caused accidents. My wife is reluctant to drive this vehicle. This fuel contamination of crankcase oil can cause serious damage to internal engine parts.this is a major problem regarding city & highway driving that acceleration is needed to maintain traffic flow. I have to be careful to avoid having to need to accelerate causing major hesitation (flat) & accelerator pedal stuck in down ( to floorboard) position.
This is about my 2018 honda cr-v ex with around 14,700 miles at present.my whole family and a friend went to yakima,wa for cherry picking.on our way there from seattle,wa while driving using adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keeping assist system (lakas) suddenly a warning from the screen appeared that says..."power reduced - power grille problem" and then we can not accelerate the speed. Luckily we made it to the shoulder of the highway for emergency park and wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the warning goes out from the screen. When it goes out we start the engine and start driving again and after 7 to 10 minutes the warning goes on again ,stop and goes again for the third time and we decided to turn off the acc and lkas and drive in a lower speed 60 to 65 MPH in a 70 MPH speed limit zone.the next morning I checked the engine oil fill compartment and the engine oil dipstick and found out they have a strong gasoline smell.gasoline leaks to the engine oil compartment.when I checked the dipstick , the oil is dripping like water with blackish color because of the gasoline mixed to the oil. I reported it to the dealership for service and told me not to drive the car going to them instead the towing company (aaa) do the job to take it to the dealership.and the day when I picked up the car they told me that the gasoline I smell from the compartment is normal due to combustion. I asked them to check the engine oil dipstick to prove to them that it smells gasoline and dripping like water with blackish color (this is a newly changed pure synthetic engine oil /90% remaining).they did not check the dipstick and told me they can do nothing about it and told me to it's normal.they said it's safe to drive my car. I'm just hoping this problem be resolved very soon.
This vehicle after having 4500 miles, began to smell terribly of gasoline inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle sputtered , did not want to run, and stalled a few times before I wound up at the dealership. I also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. The vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a hopeful repair. Here I am with no vehicle, and a $400 per month payment. This is absolutely unacceptable in today's world. This problem should have been fixed, before the vehicle was allowed to be put up for sale . A vehicle is deemed not safe, when it's stalls on you in the middle of traffic.
Warning lights flashing then had software update AC control all that was on the bulletin , lights flashing again warning lights so at 38,000 had to have fuel injectors, one warning light came on since then after cutting car off hasn't come back on yet both stationary, and in motion .
Raw fuel smell inside cabin and outside of vehicle . Engine oil diluted and oil level increased . Fuel mixed in with oil .
In the winter, I noticed a reduction in power from the vehicle. The engine began to run rough and stalled a few times in parking lots. There was the smell of gas and sulfates coming through the vents. The oil level was very high. I took the car to the dealer and they changed the oil. Four months later with normal use of the vehicle, the smell of gas is again coming through the vents, the engine seems to be running rough again, and the oil level is high. I fear the vehicle will stall in a dangerous situation, and the fumes in the cabin make me feel sick.
Fuel mixing in oil system, loosing power that can cause an acident.
While changing the oil and filter at 20, 496 miles, I noticed the following: 1) oil level had risen on the dipstick significantly higher than when originally filled 2) oil appeared highly diluted and watery 3) there was a strong gasoline smell coming from the used oil this situation has been widely documented.

The oil level remains elevated even after the repair/recall to address earth dream engine problems
On 3 different occasions, while driving the car on the interstate highway, it started vibrating, and would not accelerate, burning smell occurred, several warning lights came up on the dashboard. We had to navigate the car from the middle of highway to the shoulder of the highway very abruptly. It was a near death experience as several trucks and cars were traveling on the highway at very fast speeds. Reported the first occurrence to the mcgrath city honda, chicago, il in january 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures and they replaced some fuel sensors and informed me that this was a manufacturing issue (defective part). Second incident occurred in february 2019, could not take photos as the problems went away after restarting the engine. Reported the third incident in march 2019 along with the dashboard warning light pictures to the same dealership and I was informed that there is a problem with fuel injector and they placed the order for the part. We are really, really scared of driving this defective, malfunctioning and hazardous vehicle. I searched the internet last night and it seems several other honda crv owners are having these issues. Please investigate this serious issue and save the people.
